Don’t know if it’s possible with SteamOS. But in KDE you can select different power profiles for battery powered and on a power supply. And those profiles can be configured.

Not an RPG, but in the Thief series the hardest difficulty usually means that you aren’t allowed to kill anyone. Many people even try to play the games as a ghost. Meaning the only sign of their presence after leaving is the stuff they stole. Every door has to be closed and locked again. Keys stolen from guards have to be returned (in lieu of a game mechanic for this you have to lay it on the ground behind them).

People do challenge runs of the Gothic games as pacifists. So it isn’t part of the games but doable with some shenanigans.

Unfortunately it died a few years ago.

Thank you for your service. o7

I used to have an early VR headset. With 3DoF headtracking, 640x480 at 60 Hz (combined, so actually every eye got only half of that). Descent supported stereoscopic 3D and the headtracking could be added to almost every game with a mouse driver. It was bad. Really bad. Descent alone could be nausea inducing. In VR it was a literal pukefest. Still I had to try it every few months or so, because it was so cool on paper.

I remember spending hours configuring the controls to something I would like. Mouse aiming? Never heard of it!

All I remember from my scheme was that A and Z were for up and down. Orientation probably with the cursor keys. I know I had something on capslock and shift. Maybe forwards and backwards.

Safe and clean games like my own Diarrhea 4.

Luckily you can just skip the Cyberpunk launcher. Just configure Heroic to use the normal exe. That’s how I play the Steam version so that I can play when my son is playing on his PC as well.

For me it is. I’ve been using Lutris for years, but they’re just stagnating. The design is all over the place, they still don’t have a unified library, their native integrations break so often that I have to add my games manually anyways. And I cannot fathom why they don’t adopt the same library integrations for GOG, Amazon and especially Epic as Heroic. They are much faster and have much less hassle.

At the same time Heroic has been adding the same tools I originally missed from Lutris. Like the Wine handling and using external wrappers like Mangohud or Gamemode or your own wrappers and variables.

Lutris’ installation scripts are still often nice for figuring out a game’s dependencies. I just wish they were in a git repo where people could add comments because some of the scripts are needlessly complicated.

If someone made an itch.io command line client that Heroic could tap into it would have most of the things I could wish for.

Yes, thanks!

Take Fedora, as you’re already used to it. Steam handles Windows games for you. In 99% of cases they just work. Only games that do not run nowadays are games with unsupported kernel level anti cheat. Look at https://areweanticheatyet.com/ to see if your games are supported. A VM won’t help you as that is usually blocked by such anti cheat as well.

If you do have a problem with a non-multiplayer game look at https://protondb.com/.

For games from GOG, Epic or Amazon use Heroic. For every other store you can add the launcher or just the game itself to Heroic.

I dunno, the people making the games would love to sell them but they are literally deprived of a way to take money from you. Even if you wanted to give them money. For once it’s not the publisher fucking you over.

I didn’t read all that. But you should use Sunshine and Moonlight. I’ve had nothing but trouble with Steam’s remote play.

No idea about their storage boxes. But I’ve rented dedicated servers from them for a long time. Both as a corporate and private customer. Never had a problem. Support was always great. Sometimes even Mr Hetzner himself would step in.

There are ratings in Discover on Linux. I have absolutely no idea where they are pulled from but that might be the right platform.

Maybe try the Steam flatpak. Perhaps you are missing some dependency.

Isn’t one of Cloudflare’s biggest strengths that they have a shitton of servers around the world and can thus provide DDOS resilient caching?

Having a shitton of servers is kind of the antithesis of self hosting.

Definitely keep it simple for the first game. A Smash like was recommended in the other thread. I think that’s a fantastic idea. Start with a small roster of two characters and one stage and improve from there.

A smash type game would be great! Add characters from Tux Kart and from other open source projects. Maybe a paperclip and apple as well, as villains.

I loved my N95. It showed what an oldschool smartphone could look like.

Until the N900 came along and defined for me what a modern smartphone should look like. Thus killing my enthusiasm for all future Android phones.

But the N95 was sturdier. I still have it in my backpack as a backup phone.
