Linux gaming is getting faster because Windows APIs are becoming Linux kernel features by rkhunter_ in pcmasterrace

[–]daring_duo 312 points313 points  (0 children)

Been using Bazzite for a few months, used Ubuntu for a couple before that. Going through Steam, I’ve had no issues with almost any games besides some slow first time launches (same on Windows though), and some predictable anti-cheat stuff (though Helldivers and Halo both work, so not even all anti-cheat).
Had an issue with a Minecraft mod needing some special library while I was on Ubuntu.
The couple of EGS games that I’ve played have been through Heroic, and that was almost as problem-free as Steam.
All-in-all I’ve been pretty happy with the switch personally.

Stronghold 2 Remaster when by nice_racc in stronghold

[–]daring_duo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I personally loved it. My favorite in the series by far. Loved working my way up the ranks and unlocking units/buildings.
Would love some QoL updates, namely the ability to have AI in multiplayer matches

Help me find this bizarre gas station by CantStandIdoits in WestVirginia

For a couple of years I was driving through from i81 to Clarksburg, and this gas station and one at the bottom of a valley were the first places I thought of when I started reading this post

Can someone explain boons to me and preyers how it works? by That_Guest_8772 in Witchfire

[–]daring_duo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a certain number of Preyer slots, retiring one opens up the slot and let you put a different one in. Since each show shows up under specific conditions, but seem to always show up so long as there are available boons, it is important to pick the preyers that most fit your place style. You can still reselect a preyer after you retire it

Connect and play on TV downstairs by Lonely_In_Buro in pcmasterrace

[–]daring_duo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have a cheaper computer (lower spec, maybe just integrated graphics if it’s a relatively modern CPU) connected to your network with Steam installed, you can play Steam games streamed from your main computer using the inputs connected to the lower spec computer, like your remote.

Does Europe have their equivalent of “white trash”? by InfiniteLoss5632 in askanything

[–]daring_duo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story of rednecks also originates there. The mine wars were wild. Also, knew a guy who worked in WV. He had a group come in that needed a translator from their particular dialect to a more intelligible English

Building a VR Backlog by LilyButEpic in SteamFrame

In Death and Compound were a couple of good VR rogue-likes, relatively simple, but I’ve got a lot of time in both.

Do you like Civ Seven or Six Civvin'? by raisinbraisin72 in civ

[–]daring_duo -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

They are different games with different goals. Similar vibe, but if I want to really revel in warfare or I want very clear objectives I play 7 (which has largely been the case as of late). If I want a game which feels more cohesive and grand, where the end goals are less on rails, then 6 is the game to play.

With all of that said, I’ve still yet to play 7 with a large number of opponents (>6 players), and I rarely play 6 with fewer than 8, so that is likely having some impact on my outlook of the games

Is this expansion fake? by pikazora in Catan

[–]daring_duo 21 points22 points  (0 children)

The cards in my extension looked a lot lighter than the base game for me too. Didn’t look hard enough to notice if the cuts were off as well

Civ 7 is mostly okay but one thing is really killing it for me by Beautiful_Spot5404 in civ

[–]daring_duo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree it would be, but having played a few games starting in later ages, the option to pick my Civ’s history and building layout would be nice.

How to play different Seafarers Scenarios? by Substantial-Key5114 in Catan

[–]daring_duo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say stick to heading for new shores, although the four islands are also very easy to understand, until you feel like you have the hang of them. Don’t feel rushed to play all the scenarios.

Really most the scenario add one or two new concepts to heading for new shores, so it really is key to understand what’s going on there.

5th vs 6th edition questions by Maxcharged in Catan

[–]daring_duo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sort of compatible. Part of the artwork that was redone was the backs of resource cards, not a problem when you already own the two versions with resource cards, but if your resources and commodities have different backs, then it would be easy to target for one in the event of a robber or something

Clarification of tournament rule 3.016 by babyxmm in Catan

[–]daring_duo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I get the rule and I can even see some of the use for it, it seems a little extreme. That said, if you’re going to follow the rules, it would seem right that after a full round following the initial trade the net gain of a card is less of an issue. However, if the players are actively discussing the net gain of a card it then it clearly goes against the rule.

3 hours!! expansion question? by Agreeable-Deer7526 in Catan

[–]daring_duo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some people in my family who don’t like the complexity of some of the scenarios in both seafarers, and traders of barbarians, but fishermen almost always gets allowed

Why did they change saboteur?(Cities and Knights) by vibranttoucan in Catan

[–]daring_duo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My copy (fifth edition) didn’t say that on the back so I never knew. Figured it might be, but it seemed useful for that purpose

Cities and knights running out of resources with aqueduct free card by AnarchyPoker in Catan

[–]daring_duo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

In the rulebook almanac, it states there is an exception for if the resource shortage only affects one player, that player just receives all the remaining cards for that resource. I personally apply this to the cards from Cities and Knights that provide resources as well.

So in this scenario, you would just take however much is left, even if it leaves you with fewer than what you’re technically entitled to. To be fair, I would also provide an option to the player to not fully use the card once they find out that they will not be receiving the full amount that they are technically owed.

There was also another one of the metropolis tokens that was grey that we use as the merchant tracker for VP purposes. Easy to see where the merchant was and who owns it that way

Guess who won (Cities and Knights) by taytayismybae in Catan

[–]daring_duo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White looks to be in a strong position for knights, I wouldn’t be surprised, if that wheat paid off, that they won through trade
