Overwatch added a new game mode. 6v6, both sides Jetpack Cat only. And the game mode name is - of course - named by someone's cat walking across their keyboard. Everyone in voice chat is meowing constantly.

This is either the most amazing thing ever or hell itself and I cannot decide.

Okay. I must give props to #Capcom because the map of this game is kinda cool for the time. This is basically a #Metroidvania and it has actually been pretty easy to follow along the path without getting too lost.

I made it to this library place using the Spade Key and solved a puzzle. It's cool that the game throws away the items you no longer need :P

I really have to ask... How does a game that's intentionally designed to look like it's from 1997 (Abiotic Factor) manage to somehow use 81% of a 7900XTX? And models are intentionally very low poly, textures are low res, etc etc. I'm looking at VRAM and it's like 3GB (and that includes the DE!) so I guess all the actual utilization of the GPU is shaders or something?

So many watts that... just don't seem to even really be doing anything.

I love this game to death, but I really wish it was more efficient...

#Gaming #AbioticFactor

I don’t have much experience with Linux, but I do have some. I’m thinking of leaving Windows as I’m trying to focus more on privacy and less AI.

I tried a Bazzite bootable install, and everything seemed to work great except for one thing- the RGB on my XPG ram sticks. OpenRGB controlled everything except those sticks as they went undetectable by the software. I tried the latest experimental OpenRGB build with no improvements.

That seems to be the only incompatible bit. While annoying it’s not a deal breaker. How do you feel about using bazzite on a higher end desktop for gaming and as a daily driver? I don’t play any games that use kernel anticheat.

UPDATE: Installed it this morning. Went with the Gnome version. Really enjoying it so far! Still getting everything situated, but I’m a happy camper. Thanks for the help, everyone :)

Ahora mismo vivo entre Baldur’s Gate 3, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy y mis noches cozy de Nintendo (Animal Crossing es literalmente terapia).
Soy aroace 🌙 y disfruto muchísimo los juegos por sus personajes y su mundo más que por el romance. Me gustan las historias intensas, pero también los espacios tranquilos para desconectar después de un día largo.

I really love my Saab J35 Draken. It's a wonderful piece of tech, and the first aircraft capable of doing the "cobra manoeuvre" purely because it could "super stall"; basically at full speed (Mach 1.0+), you could fully stall the lift of the aircraft just by pulling up.

The weird combination lifting body/double delta design is quite interesting to fly, especially when someone wants to turn fight. She'll happily sit at 350kph, in a turn, with full reheat, without dropping a centimetre of height.

Definitely my new found love in WT

#Gaming #WarThunder

Alt...

A screenshot of my Saab J35. A rather long and sleek design, with massive lifting and intake bodies on the side of the fuselage, in a delta formation. Further down are the stubby wings that jut out from the first intake-lifting body delta wing. The tail is relatively short. It has a green-blue mottled cammo with some decals I've added: eyes and mouth on the front, and the Bo Time Gaming logo on the back. It's in a fairly plain hanger with rocket pods and missiles set up around it

I have decided to microblog my journey installing #LinuxMint, this time. I don't feel that it gets enough attention for how dead simple it usually is.

This morning I needed Valve's Steam to set up my game library, and I needed to install my favorite password manager.

To install Steam, I had to search for it in the 'Software Manager' and click install, and then enter my password.

To install my Password manager, I visited the download page and was offered a choice of .Deb or .rpm file.

I happen to know the RPM wouldn't have done anything on Mint, so I downloaded the .deb and then double-clicked on it. It needed some additional packages, so I had to enter my password a second time and press 'Ok'.

As a die hard command line user, this is still how I setup Linux. Even in terms of keypress count, this was just easy.

But...stay tuned and I'll probably share some zany command line stuff that I still do to setup my environment just the way I like it. Solutions that I wrote for myself aren't in the software manager (yet), after all.

#ScribesAndMakers 2.19 — Our featured creator is an avid gamer. Does gaming affect your creativity?

Always. I'm a heavy, heavy gamer, anything sci-fi, fantasy, horror, etc. I also love Animal Crossing. I'm a huge fan of the The Witcher in general, books and games, for example. We have Baldur's Gate 3, The Witcher 3, Diablo 3 or 4, Stardew Valley, Mortal Kombat 11, Skyrim, LotRO, Call of Duty Zombies, and many others.

Gaming only further grows my creativity; it never smothers it. There's nothing better for writers, I swear. A lot of my author friends are also gamers as well.

#TechRadar My first love, The Legend of Zelda, turns 40 today — here's why I think the series has survived and thrived https://techrad.ar/k6dP #Consoles&PC #Nintendo #Gaming

Good morning everyone ☀️ I'm up bright and early with the parrots again today (well not so bright 😁) a d have just sat down to have a cuddle with Ziggy who is curled up in my hand, grumbling away with contentment. The only other sounds are white noise of the air filters and Toby noisily eating, and the occasional squeak from Jadie as she fights with one of her toys. It's entirely lovely and makes me very sleepy.

Jadie has just informed me she is a "Good girl", which of course is true 😊

At the checkup yesterday the consultant found a mole on my back she's not happy with so I'll now need to have that removed and biopsied. It's been nearly five years since I had the first melanoma diagnosis and they stop the three monthly checks after five years, so if it is cancer again I'm lucky it's been picked up now, and early, especially being in such a hard to see spot. She said not to worry though and it's a precautionary measure.

Grognak and Ethera will be out in the Shadow Cursed Lands again today to take on a Gerringingothe Thorm (unless Grognak passes a persuasion check this time) and then head on to Moonrise Towers. I may take Wyll out with me for a change instead of Gale as he hasn't levelled up in absolutely ages and it will be nice to try a bit of combat alongside him for a change. I think Grognak is quite enamoured with Karlach so Grant will probably stick with her, although I think we'll need to take Shadowheart out soon when we go into the Mausoleum.,

We have some veggie pies and Ziggy Fries for lunch. Yes, I bought the chips because of the name 😂

Have a lovely day, whatever you get up to 🤗

It has to be something that popular consensus seems to be is a BIG DEAL but to you just isn't

Ooo lookie, new audio game, even for Linux!

So this game that I can't spell is about:

Draugnorak is a side-scrolling survival game. How long can you survive? Each night, waves of undead hammer your defenses, while hostile bandits, yetis, and goblins stalk the world beyond your base each day. You start with nothing and must craft the tools, weapons, and structures you need to endure. Gather resources, recruit residents to your base, and connect with the spirits of vanquished foes in custom adventures across different types of terrain. Build an altar, earn favor from the gods, receive blessings, and take on quests. Protect your residents from the dreaded vampyr, build your barricade strong, for the undead come, and they hunger.

Note, when starting the game the first thing you might want to do is craft a stone knife and collect vines and stics from the tree so you can create a stone axe.

Also Draugers are cool. Defience of the Fall reference of course.

Having both our cars drive to the front on Tuesday was an awesome feeling.

Now I'm trying to decide. Do I replay #BG1 (I missed a lot the first playthrough, including forgetting to go back and complete Durlag's Tower!), or see if my physical copy of #BG2 works on my PC (it should at least work on my old Win7 netbook, since I played BG1 on there)? Or shall I continue with #FireEmblem and play #RadiantDawn?

I forgot I had a Ubisoft account. Stupid games companies forcing you to have a new account with every publisher. But now they're saying they're locking down the account unless I provide age verification.

Glad I had the foresight to pick the username WHAT_IS_THIS_BS because it sure is a whole lotta BS.

A screenshot of an email from Ubisoft. It reads: Hello what_is_this_bs, To keep our community safe and ensure age‑appropriate experiences for all players, Ubisoft is introducing a new age verification step for certain communication features. This update also helps us comply with the UK Online Safety Act.

A sight rarely seen 🙂

Picture of a CPU socketed into a motherboard, cleaned and without a cooler. It's a Ryzen 5 3600X.

It's good to see game developers finally getting we don't want "AI" in our games, it's just sad that they're currently acting like "We just use it during our development cycle" is better.

Nobody wants vibe coded garbage. Not even vibe coders

#TechRadar Abxylute promises 'deep customization' for its newly announced 'deck-style' controllers — they look impressive, but they'll also be going head-to-head our most anticipated Switch 2 accessory https://techrad.ar/PB5Z #Gaming

So I was approached via DM because I mentioned #headTracking support for #freespace on Linux PC a while ago. I threw what I have here - and it is rather crude. If anyone wants to give it a try be my guest: https://github.com/bekopharm/fs2open.github.com/tree/feature/facetracknoir

I do not have the capacity to make this nice e.g. as an option. If someone wants to cherry pick the changes and make something of it I'd be more than happy. There's really not much to it.

Would still like to hear if this works for someone else than MyMachine.

It's nothing short of incredible to see what kind of mindshare Bazzite has attracted in its 3 years of existence. I'm actually surprised to see it eclipsing Ubuntu here, in terms of YouTube search volume.

For good measure, I'm also including a result that adds "Linux Gaming" to the mix. Equally awesome :)

(Context: I'm brainstorming some guides getting people set up for gaming on various distros)

A pack of race cars speeds around a paved track, several of them dirty or damaged from earlier contact. Smoke rises in the background from an apparent crash, while the foreground car, number 81 with “VeganEasy” branding, sliding through the group. Other cars display various sponsor logos as they compete closely in a chaotic, high‑intensity racing scene.

It's time for more crew missions in Mass Effect 2!

We've left #Discord! Last week, Discord wanted our government-issued IDs to keep
chatting about video games. Turns out they're partnered with Palantir. Hard pass!

We're old enough to remember when #gaming didn't require joining a surveillance database. So we built our own server instead.

IRC, Mumble, forums—old-school tech done right, by #gamers who remember when the internet was weird and free. No data mining. No algorithm. No surprise bans. Just us.
