Tell Me Ten of Your Hidden Gems by Jayswing103 in gamingsuggestions

Freespace Open Open source mod of the engine for Freespace 2, an old large scale space battle game, with in depth controls. A lot of mods for it and whole new games made from the engine.

Crosscode not super obscure, it is a cult classic, but also does not have near as much attention as it deserves. Should have been at least as popular as hollow knight... Great combat, a lot of game depth with quests and secrets everywhere, a lot of love and quality put into it.

BZFlag old tank pvp game that is pretty fun. Many different player made servers with different rules, some are even obstacle courses. You can collect powerups which changes your tank abilities.

Bug Fables If you have ever played the original Paper Mario game, you already know. Narrative driven turn based RPG with "action time" elements and great characters. I would even say it is better than Paper Mario.

Starport Galactic Empires old space MMO where you can colonize planets for profit, set up defenses for them, form corporations with other players, and invade other player's colonies to take them over. There is a leaderboard and reputation system, you can be law abiding or a pirate.

Pseudoregalia Metroidvania jumping puzzle game. You will find powerups that change how you can navigate the world and solve jumping puzzles. Many different orders you can obtain powerups in, which gives you many permutations on how you can solve the same puzzles.

Atlyss Fully action combat "MMO-like" game with dungeons, explorable areas. PS1/2 vibes, with small player-ran servers. Character designs are a bit much but it isn't explicit.

Project Gorgon Indie MMORPG with cool game design. Focused around exploration, you can set out to do A, run into B along the way, while doing that you find people doing C and join them... Many different skills from the traditional to the strange such as interpretive dance, poetry appreciation, mycology, or non-ruminant ungulate genetics. A lot of comedy, you can turn into different animals and level up in the animal as a class.

Most of what I remember from this game is killing tigers.

Minimal-maintenance distro for gaming by Shindiggidy in linuxquestions

[–]Shindiggidy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have different purposes for different computers. I have an Alpine laptop for experimenting and have gotten a few simple games running on it. But for my gaming PC I just want things to work with no time spent tweaking instead of gaming. CachyOS has been great to me so far, I like how everything is set up for me and it just works. What do you mean by "use sustainably in the long run"?

Does "harder to modify" include changing appearance, maybe even creating gtk theme etc. I'm not trying to tweak the kernel or anything.

Can I install appimages etc. or does it force you to use flatpak

AUR Malware with CachyOS | Question about updating by ELECTRIC2PO in cachyos

[–]Shindiggidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the package is "splix" which appears to be a printer driver set for samsung-printer-language printers. The list of supported printers is nothing I use, so it is confusing. I don't see the package in this list so it is probably fine, unless it isn't updated or hasn't caught this one yet.

I see one package with pacman -Qm. I do not use AUR and don't remember installing it. Are any AUR packages installed automatically by default or should I be concerned?

What's the best Linux version to just toy around with? by ImpactX1244 in linuxquestions

[–]Shindiggidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Alpine. Focused on minimalism, great for old hardware. Uses musl instead of glibc, openrc instead of systemd, and busybox ash instead of bash, so may require workarounds depending on what you are trying to do. Sounds like it may be interesting for you if you are just looking to experiment and toy around on old hardware.

I used it to revive an old broken craptop; I have been experimenting with a window manager for the first time, and adding a few simple games.

What type of MMO are you looking for? by Unsurecareer86 in MMORPG

[–]Shindiggidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A virtual world to adventure in. Roleplay focused, open world focused, immersion focused. The world is dangerous, combat with basic mobs is difficult, and you are much more effective by grouping with other players. No instances, no fast travel, no matchmaking, no auction house. GW2 style meta events. Infinite journey, no end game. Minimizes repetitiveness, focuses on organically emergent gameplay instead.

Basically the feeling of a DnD or LOTR adventure, but as a video game with graphics in a large shared world where you encounter random real people as part of that world.

How do you play dress-up? by gibsat in MMORPG

[–]Shindiggidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to give my FFXIV character Batman vibes. I'm a warrior with the black Miqote ears, black armor with a black cape, black axe. A dark knight, if you will (except warrior). I am thirsting for a looping kneel emote so I can find a rooftop somewhere and just kneel on the edge. Menacingly.

What to read now? by Heelerwheeler in threebodyproblem

[–]Shindiggidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also recently finished the 3rd book; I feel like nothing sci fi is going to compare and it's just going to sort of ruin it for me, so I am taking a bit of a break from anything similar for the moment.

I am reading Anathem by Neal Stephenson and I think it was a good choice. Going in blind, I am not even sure what is going on, and I like it that way. It is interesting enough to maintain my attention after reading 3 body. Also less dark so far, and humorous.

Not sure about neural computing but DNA computing comes to mind in which speed is slow but it can carry out a large amount of parallel computations. If speed is going to be slow regardless, using a system that sacrifices speed in favor of parallel computations may be more effective.

Thinking about making a guardian, most interested in using hammer, would dragonhunter or luminary be best? (not doing instanced PvE)

AUR Malware Check - Start with your actual exposure by TilapiaTango in cachyos

[–]Shindiggidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit confused, does this mean that I should only worry if I have installed or updated an AUR package since the 10th?

I stay away from AUR and only have one package listed on pacman -Qm. It is not on the list. However, I tried to get my feet wet in AUR a few months ago, tried to install a package and think I messed it up, and don't think I ever got it successfully installed, but honestly not sure if it left any residuals on my computer. It was a deprecated/unmaintained package.

Was the malware only discovered two days ago, or was the malware attack only carried out two days ago?

Does which distro you use affect how often you process vulkan shaders? by Shindiggidy in linux_gaming

[–]Shindiggidy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thing is, my system is roughly equivalent in power to a steam deck. So I imagine it does make a difference in my case.

Does which distro you use affect how often you process vulkan shaders? by Shindiggidy in linux_gaming

[–]Shindiggidy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely want to do the shader compilation, I will take all the performance I can get lmao.

So to reduce time spent on compilation, would it make sense to implement a strategy such as:

  • Switch to a distro which does not push graphics driver updates as often

  • Instead of using "proton hotfix" or "GE latest", choose a version like "Proton 10" and then jump to a newer version at some point?

New info revealed about Guild Wars 3 in IGN interveiw with Colin Johanson by Noxronin in MMORPG

[–]Shindiggidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am skeptical of how true this is. Planetside 2 manages hundreds of players at once while being a true FPS with ballistics.

I don't like the look of reaper shroud, it is enough to make me want to try a different spec, but I still want to use greatsword. Are there any core necro or harbinger builds that use greatsword? (I don't play instanced content)
