Trials of mana. It runs nicely but sucks the battery down, only get a little over an hour.
I’ve also just been playing Luanti (voxelibre, Asuna, mineclonia) a bit because my daughter is learning to play it on her computer and wants me to lan play with her but I have no idea what these games are about.
Ubuntu feels a bit slow, the snaps I think is that problem as they launch slower. But Ubuntu-based distros don’t use snaps (Mint, popOS).
There are also Ubuntu-based distros that don’t use gnome (Mint, popOS).
There are also non-Ubuntu distros that do use gnome. There’s people who like gnome and people who don’t, but it’s not “bloat” and it’s not limited to Ubuntu.
Shadowrun (Sega version) - one of the best RPGs of all time
Grim Dawn - I was a big Diablo 2 guy, and this is the next step up
Chronotrigger - probably my favourite RPG
Terraria - just a treasure of a game and fun for lan coop
Deus Ex - my favourite game of all time
Final Fantasy 6 - perfect example of what was good about the SNES
Sonic 3 and Knuckles - there’s a lot of excellent 8 and 16 bit platformers, this one is edging out some tough competition from Shinobi 3
KKnD - I’m going back to my PC roots in real time strategy, and I’m going with an old favourite that never lets me down when I go back to it
OpenTTD - I can (have) spent years building up a transport empire
Tyrian 2000 - the king of shmups
There’s definitely games I regret not being able to play again, but I’d be happy with this lot.
I didn’t hate it, bit it was weird and as a teenager in the 90s with nothing but a really sketchy translation of the script I had no idea what it was.
They bought the card system back for a DBZ RPG on the Nintendo DS. Can’t remember what the game was called, but I had fun with it. It got panned pretty hard for the weird mechanics but I kind of knew it from my time with the Super Famicom game. Check that one out if you’re keen, but it definitely plays differently, more like moving around a board game.
This card system comes up in most of the DBZ rpg of the time. The most known being the SNES remake of the two games prior to this one.
It’s called Super Saiyan Densetsu I think. It was quite well known in the emulation/translation scene in the late 90s. And I hate to say it because you seem quite taken with the card system, but people generally disliked it then.
Budgie was started by Ikey Doherty for Solus. So quick background on Ikey, he does things because he thinks he has a better way of doing it, and he doesn’t do it for others so much as himself.
So we could probably say Budgie came about because Ikey wanted a desktop that suited him and his new (at the time) Solus project. And now it just goes on.
He’s at it again too. His work on Aeryn OS is all about building his own tools. He reinvents the wheel because it’s what suits him.
That corner spot is looking pretty sweet.
I usually sit right where that book and mug are in the picture, and I can just slide my way into the corner if I feel like.
The Grey Death virus, and the Ambrosia vaccine!, are controlled by UNATCO and billionaire Bob Page is making a play to take control of the world from the Illuminati
Sure. I thought you may be sharing news about some new ones.
What are the new ones?
I don’t know if you’re just not understanding what is being said, it’s a lot of effort to engage with you and I only made one comment!
One of my friends once jammed an aluminium foil take-away container filled with spaghetti Bolognese under his jacket to take into the cinema.
I don’t believe there was any mention of violence against random people, the person you’ve been talking to definitely talked about organising.
Cosmic.
Openbox was my favourite, but there’s not a really good Wayland alternative yet so I’ve stuck with KDE for years.
I wanted to try Cosmic so I went to the source with popos and it’s really a good time. I haven’t used a Deb/Ubuntu base since the Crunchbang days but this is good and it seems there is a Cosmic update pushed through every week.
Do they succeed?
Hey guys, Windows is dominant so we need things to be designed more like Windows!
If we wanted a Windows experience we’d use Windows am I right? It’s painful enough I have to use it for work, at least let me have a better time at home.
I just got a kobo for Christmas so I’ve been catching up on a ton of Stephen King I hadn’t made time for, re-reading some Michael Crichton. Trying out some of Clive Barker’s horror stuff (never read it before).
Just read Back To The Island, a companion/episode guide to Lost. Which has made me want to watch the show again.
I had the DOS version, still do on my shelf. But even before that we played the demo (with 5 minutes time limit) about 50 million times.
I liked the second one, it was cool but not quite as good.
The third one was that PS2 era I found hard to get interested in our even look at. I quit gaming from about 2003 onwards (kind of, just kept playing my Sega), and picked it back up when things got better around 2010. I would like to try GTA4 one day.
Sengoku 3
Super Baseball 2020
Double Dragon
NAM 1975
If you were wanting to play thps2, would you recommend this over the remake from a few years ago?
