The remaster just came out this year, and Oblivion is loved by a lot of people. I replay it every couple years. Regardless, old games are very much still worth experiencing.
- Comment on Valve confirm the Steam Machine will be priced like a PC with similar specs, rather than a console 6 days ago:
I’m not really interested in some aggressive back and forth on a Lemmy thread, so this is the last response I’m going to leave with you. I shared what my experience was at the time, and I don’t especially care if you believe me. I’m not my time trying to put together and research a list of equivalent hardware with time accurate prices to the Xbox One/Ps4 generation to please a random person I haven’t met on Lemmy. If you care that much, you can do the research.

I built a PC that was more expensive and more powerful than consoles at the time, but did plenty of looking into different hardware prices. The important thing is prices at the time. You can feel free to do the digging if you want. Usually you’d end up with just slightly more expensive for the Base hardware, but with no online subscription cost that would make console more expensive long-term.

It really was, I migrated from console to pc around the beginning of the Xbox One/ps4 generation. It was more effort to hunt down parts and build a PC, for sure, but it was very doable to match console performance for the same price. These days though thanks in part to tariffs, and crypto mining, hardware prices are worse than they used to be.

It certainly was the case, for a while, given you were shooting for similar specs to consoles. But times are a little different now.
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows 4 weeks ago:
You don’t need to use steam to use wine and proton. I do this pretty much every day, playing games from GOG, or from itch.io. where you get the executable for the game doesn’t matter. I’m currently part way through a run of Baldur’s Gate 1 from GOG, and it’s a Windows executable. You could set up a wine prefix manually, but there’s options like lutris, bottles, or play on Linux to handle that for you. I’ve played games from battle.net and ea app as well, all on linux by setting up proton in Lutris.

You can run non-steam windows games on linux as well, even without steam installed.

I’ve been working on getting the true ending in hollow Knight, and I’m currently trying to beat some of the DLC content. I’m get to play silksong soon
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - March 2025 8 months ago:
I’m playing through Dark Souls 2, and Horizon Zero Dawn. I’m really surprised how well horizon runs, although I’m capping the fps at 30 for a more stable experience. Balatro has also been a big one
- Comment on Netease announce Marvel Rivals, a free-to-play 6v6 shooter that desperately wants to be superhero Team Fortress 1 year ago:
I can sense that this game is going to be another shut-down live service in two years
- Comment on Game update round up (RDR2 and TLoU Part 1 get FSR), Stardew Valley gets big update, Halo Infinite gets EAC, Slice and Dice gets steam version, and DRG Survivor gets it's first content update 1 year ago:
Really unfortunate that Halo Infinite is getting kernel level anti-cheat.
