Wesnoth is one of those games where once you start playing, you fall into a time warp and lose hours before you know what happened.

I’m sure it will depend a bit on your exact setup (video card especially, and likely display server too) but I can confirm that Baldur’s Gate 2 (the only one I own on Steam) literally just worked with the built-in Proton emulation. I clicked install, then once it downloaded I clicked play and required no additional intervention.

Gawddamn…. It’s looking like we’re gonna be cranking up outboard motors like a fishing boat to power the next generation of these cards…

Stardew Valley!! The local co-op on the switch is my favorite way to play with my son. The game is so relaxing and once you get into it a bit it’s fun to see all of the ways we can divide up the chores and work together to make the farm better.

Goddamn that’s cool! I only wish it had a flamethrower attachment to ward off the squirrels that keep raiding my garden…

I love it. Lemmy seems to be a solid implementation so far, it was easy to set up and seems stable and efficient. More than that, I LOVE the distributed nature of everything. I believe that this federated protocol will be infinitely more resilient to the whims of individuals acting only in their own interests.

There are some desperately needed features to make the dream come true though. The ability to effortlessly migrate users, communities, and content between instances on the fediverse I think will be essential to securing the future of this platform. I hope someone is working on it and that a standard method is adopted by the large projects in the space.

There’s also the challenge of discoverability, but that is also somewhat of the thrill to me. I remember when you had to work to find communities online and this very much brings back those memories. I get so excited when a user from a small, distant instance interacts with my own instance as I get another thread to follow into new and potentially awesome corners of the fediverse. I think as that particular nuance of this platform becomes better understood by users at large we will see all sorts of new interactions (both positive and negative I’m sure!).

I’m excited to be here for it.

I received Eternal Darkness for Christmas in 2002. I will NEVER forget the feelings that game inspired in me thanks to the unique “sanity” system and creepy lovecraftian atmosphere.

I remember my brothers and I huddled around the basement TV into the wee hours of the morning over our Christmas holiday totally creeped out but so driven to complete the story that we pressed onward.

What a fantastic game that was and I’m so grateful for those memories with my brothers. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a deep connection with a game since.

Cyberpunk2077 is a great game now in spite of the rocky launch. If you like RDR2, I think you will enjoy Cyberpunk2077 as well.

It was allegedly trained on reddit for cheap too!

My expectation is that if any of the higher traffic subs hold the line for more than a few days, the greedy little pig boy will replace the mods with loyalists and force them open.

I’m honestly grateful in a way. It’s forced me to look very seriously at the fediverse apps such as Lemmy and I’m really liking the model more than putting all of our eggs in one basket.

Old news! I was doing this in SimCity2k almost two decades ago!

Seriously though, this is some radical SciFi stuff and it’s amazing to see it come to reality.
