    Lol I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you meant that gamescope would be difficult to get working under Bazzite’s immutable architecture.

    You do realize gamescope is just a package you can install, right? Do you think it’s a unique feature of SteamOS or what?


  • There’s really no reason to use it on a general purpose desktop. It’s designed to basically make a PC into a console. You do still have full access to the (mostly) normal Linux system behind it, but it’s not something I’d use unless I was setting it up for someone who didn’t want to deal with any of the behind the scenes stuff.

    CachyOS, Nobara, and Bazzite all should get you the same level of gaming support with more flexibility as a normal OS, and they can all run Steam Big Picture which is basically the SteamOS UI.





  • To be fair trial and error and RNG are just par for the course with classic roguelikes, but learning how to manage all that is part of the appeal. Nethack and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup are probably the two best-supported old classic roguelikes out there. Honorable mentions for Dwarf Fortress, which basically abandoned its roguelike mode in favor of a fortress simulator, and UnReal world, which is a weird outdoor primitive survival game that’s a testament to one man’s obsession.

    There are also more modern offerings like Tales of Maj’Eyal, Caves of QUD, and Dungeons of Dredmor that are fully faithful roguelikes with either more modern graphics or QOL upgrades.


  • Started playing Spelunky HD again the other day, the sequel is better but the original is still fun to revisit.

    Morrowind and Fallout: New Vegas sometimes. I’ve tried playing the original two Fallout games but I keep bouncing off the first hour or two.

    Some Guilty Gear XX AC+R with a friend – we would love to play some old Tekken games too but we’re both on PC so Tekken 7 is the oldest available.

    Every once in a while I’ll play some Sacrifice, such an amazing game that’s dying for a remaster.
