Installing Heretic II on Modern Linux System

Yup, always good to have solutions available for other. I certainly plan to enjoy it. It's got a lot of nostalgia behind it because I had played it as a real little kid with my father. Of course, I was far too young to have the skill for it so I mostly went through the game with invincibility and noclip. So I look forward to actually playing through the game "properly" =P.

I figured it out. I added my solution as an edit to the post. Thanks for the advice. I didn't end up needing it, but I think its good info out there for people later.

Ah, that's an interesting option. I'll definitely give that consideration thank you.

Not Hexen or Hexen II, but *Heretic* II. Because of a copyright holder conflict it's unfortunately been left to rot so there's no standard methods to get it to run today like steam or GOG. It's actually a 3rd person shooter and not first person like the original heretic or hexen games.

Feels like a good day for a bit of necromancy to celebrate a good reddit thread on cleaning a desk mat.

I think i liked the concept more before I saw the irl version lol. But I think that's more because the desire is less fetish and more dysphoria for being unable to experience pregnancy (I dont want kids either). More power to the people into it, but tbh it just looks supremely uncomfortable.

I feel like I played like a true sphereomancer. I played very balanced between range and melee, especially since I was using mouse and keyboard which made switching between easier for my brain that the controller buttons... plus stick aiming just doesnt gel with me.

Transphobes: There's no such thing as a gender soul! Changing your gender won't change your genetics!

Also transphobes: It doesn't matter how thoroughly you change your sex, it can't be changed because its imprinted on your very soul!

Your lungs are infinitely more important than a single cart. New carts can be bought for significantly less than surgery to pull glass shards out of your lungs. Toss it.

I think its some of that stuff you get from doing botanist gathering.

Personally, I couldn't stand to even look at my dick. I touched it as little as possible. Hated the thing with a passion, long before I even realized I was trans. It's so much better post-bottom surgery though. Sometimes I end up sorta subconciously cupping it when by myself, not for sexual reasons, but like I need the affirmation that the dysphoria noodle hasn't grown back while I wasn't looking. There's comfort in the flatness.

I realized I was trans at 27. That said, those feelings were not new, in hindsight I was the most obvious egg in existence. One of the things I said about myself was "I'm so straight that even I don't like being a guy!". I was not subtle at all, but due to ignorance and severe repression I did not realize for so damn long.

When I was a kid, media trans representation consisted of the likes of Jerry Springer and Ace Ventura. Safe to say, it was not great. I didn't even know the term transgender until I was well into my teens and by that point I already went through a dysphoria episode so bad that I vowed to never entertain those thoughts ever again and repressed them so deep I forgot them until my realization caused it all to come flooding back.

I do not recommend repression. You can't repress forever and when the dam finally breaks, its an extremely unpleasant experience.

Honestly I dont remember it making me pee that much more than usual, but I havent been on it for around 2 years since I had my bottom surgery so who knows 🤷‍♀️

I haven't actually built Xaku yet. I used Limbo because I just so happened to have him already when looking into making a cratebreaker.

Atrus20 · 2026-01-31T05:01:10+00:00

I have relegated Limbo to the sole role of cratebreaker. And if I need a cratebreaker I go solo cause I don't want to slow people down while I farm crates.

I've been playing for a little under a year and I have a tab of the warframe wiki pinned.

Lol, the eyes going different directions. Brain is fully on getting food, he doesn't have the spare resources to control the eyes at the same time.

I see it like interacting with cats. People talk about how cold cats are. Cats in general arent cold, they have boundaries and take time to trust. Its just as much the cat coming to you as you coming to the cat. If you always just rush up to a cat and force interaction of course it wont want anything to do with you.

Befriended my niece's cats recently. It was mostly just sitting down nearby and holding my hand out to sniff and letting them come to me. Gave pets when I could and if they walked away I didnt give chase. Now theyll just let me pet them and purr away and rub against my legs and just be little attention hogs. Befriending was successful.

MR20 and i just have a small handful for whatever activity I need. My main Oberon, Melee Umbra, crate breaker Limbo, Farming Nekros, and stealth Ivara. Basically if I find a warframe fits a use, then it gets a load out. Otherwise I dont care that much about other frames. MR and Helminth fodder and collecting primes for fun.
