I just reinstalled NFSU2 because of the new big expansion mod underground2.net Between this, my brother wanting to play Halo, and the new Linkin Park album coming out this week, I feel like I’m in 2004 again.

Lol, lmao, no.

Ace Combat, all of them but especially the PS2 Holy Trinity.

Shadow of the Colossus.

NFSU2, Most Wanted and Burnout 3, even if theyre licensed music and not really original.

Doom midis in general are fun. Touhou games too.

Played the beta last night and yeah, it got me in the mood for monster hunting again. Time to finally go play Sunbreak since I bought it ages ago, but never played through it again (bought the base game first on the Switch)

Holy shit finally someone picked up this project, I’ve been waiting for years to try this game!

It’s the bit about RIPPING AND TEARING them to bits and rebuilding the Earth at the end.

There’s way too much stuff in there, but as of right now I think it’s Mechanicus, and the Serious Sam HD remasters, thanks to a recommendation in another thread just now. I also have a couple interesting demos I downloaded. The problem is, I haven’t played anything from my Steam at all in the past month or so. Everything I’ve been gaming has been outside of it.

Also hilariously, these Serious Sam games were the literal first games I bought when I created my Steam account and I never played through them. They were an impulse buy from a friend’s recommendation back in the day but I wasn’t as into boomer shooters as I am now.

There’s even launchers that do the work of the batch files for you! I like using Doom Explorer or Doom Runner for that. You set it up with your ports, point it at your wads folder and then you can save preset combinations of mods, it’s so practical.

I immediately sought out working backups of both Yuzu and Ryujinx. The “bright side” of this situation is that it pissed me off enough to go acquire both the new Zelda game that potentially caused this whole situation by being leaked early, and the game that was at the absolute top of my to-play list: Unicorn Overlord. So far it is looking like a fantastic game.

I’m thinking less bribe and “laughing away to the bank” and more of a “Nintendo threatened to ruin their life with legal fees if it wasn’t taken down”. The frivolity of said case is irrelevant when they just bully normal people legally like that.

well, good news is: it works. Bad news is, it borks my window manager. After so many attempts, I am forced to admit defeat. So, at least a few of my different methods that I tried did work, but with that comes a problem that my window manager does not want to run on my discrete GPU and then I get a bare desktop with no panels or proper windows.

Quake does launch correctly at that point but I rather have the rest of my DE actually function, and I did figure out how to set individual applications to launch on the second GPU. I’ll consider this solved for my use case… This combo of intel onboard graphics and AMD GPU was always my headache with this machine even in the times of windows.

I tried certain iterations of those, and the usual result is that my session fails to initiate. I’m probably doing that wrong.

The new Kex port is great for it’s accessibility for new players not used to the Doom sourceports scene, but I guess there’s still a few kinks to solve. I still end up preferring to play on my other sourceports (Woof! Is my favorite) but I gotta get back to it to actually finish Legacy of Rust later. At least this new port is MUCH better on the console versions now, if only the Switch version had proper access to the player uploaded addons…

In the meantime Ive been going through Freedoom 2, and I hear people are adapting the assets of the new mapping format into an open sourced version. Looking forward to that.

I was trying to figure this out until like 3AM last night. How do I set environment variables to be loaded into my X session when XFCE loads? I’m on Arch btw. I want to set DRI_PRIME=1 so that applications started from the launcher actually use the discrete graphics card by default. Right now it only works like that if I launch from the terminal.

I tried multiple potential config files to put it at, and the one time it actually worked, I lost my window manager… The other times, the desktop environment didnt even load or start the session. Undid everything and decided to come back later.

Fencers, the heavy exoskeleton class of the EDF games, starts out as a civilian human forklift. Don’t let your memes be dreams.
