I like to read the comments left by people/“people” on these types of websites, and all those comments were basically saying that this is a little overstepping since “there is plenty of competition” i.e. Xbox and Nintendo.

One of them even said something about “imagine DRM on like your tractor” or something like that, and boy howdy do I wish I didn’t have to create an account to comment back, “Like John Deere…?”

The whole reason I have a computer is to game on it though! :P

This is tragic. I have been on NexusMods since the 2000s. I learned how to mod games because of that site. I will be pouring one out for this landmark of a website after work today. Paid for Lifetime and everything, because the website made it easy to find, install, and update mods for any given game that supported mods. Damn, man. Damn.

I’m here, and I’m proud! :-]

Yeah, I had it on PC and while there were plenty of bugs, I still beat it before patch 1.06 or whatever came out. Still had quite a lot of fun!

Now, the console releases on the other hand… yikes man. Yikes…

I got a Dell computer that was headed towards the dump from some older people, and installed TrueNAS Scale onto it. It has almost replaced my Synology I got three years ago, I just need to bite the bullet and buy new drives for it!

Yes! And they also have an Everything (way better search program than Windows has EVER been) plugin that I’ve tweaked to include Everything’s results at the top since the index it does is exponentially better than Windows’ own. Highly recommend for those that want that two button search that has always found what I was looking for on my own computer.

Shoutout to KDE for their search function, KRunner?, as it is amazing and ready to go from the get go.

I’ve always started with the Dark Brotherhood (it’s my favorite quest line in the Elder Scrolls games), so by the time I get to the Fighter’s Guild, it feels pretty lackluster.

Maybe that won’t be an issue for you though, hopefully!

Cheers! :)

Hey, Atticus! Good to see you playing one of the games that really opened my eyes to PC gaming!

I do believe the painting is the Count himself, and like StoveTop said, maybe supposed to be way before he became a vampire, or made to not look like one!

I’m about to finish up the Fighter’s Guild questline, and then for the main game, all I will have left is the story mode. After that, I can finally do my favorite part, The Shivering Isles!

Love to see people enjoy this “classic”! (my knees cracked typing that one, oof.)

Mine too. Been tinkering with Linux since I was a lad, sudo apt get / sudo apt update is ingrained into my brain.

Now, after running openSUSE Tumbleweed, sudo zypper ref / sudo zypper dup

Still a Linux noob, but I have never loved an operating system more than I have openSUSE. :)

openSUSE Tumbleweed made me a full Linux convert. I have “messed up” quite a few times, since I’m still very much a Linux noob, but openSUSE gave me that real confidence in my setup that I now boot into Windows only for a program or game that won’t work with what I am needing at the moment, which is almost 10% of the time. Modding games is a hobby, and that’s still not as easy as it is in Windows. Come on Nexus Mods, you can do it! :'-)

Thank you!

I see that it has a container image for use. TrueNAS Scale has given me some issues before, but since it is being recommended, I will give it a go!

No, seriously.

This mindset of, “If you don’t like to read pages of documentation to figure out how to do the thing you’re wanting to do, then maybe Linux isn’t for you?” Or the “god. How dare you ask such a STUPID question. You’re using Linux wrong and it probably isn’t for you. Go back to baby’s first OS!” Is the biggest gripe I have about using Linux.

Actual legit handy in my setup. I use some things on Windows but mainly drive openSUSE.

Being able to just pluck whatever files I need from my windows drive is pretty dope.

I know it’s not the old school version they’re after (I believe they’re going for RuneScape 1?) but 2009scape exists for anyone else interested. Fully playable offline in single player mode, with bots as other “players”, plenty of options like GE buying and selling for the bots, and others. You can also play with other real players by using the launcher too, but I’ve only tried it in single player due to me just trying to scratch that RuneScape itch! Haha!

Here is the official website. They’ve recently moved their project off of GitHub and now host it on Gitlab.

I have very fond memories of Fable 2 on the 360. I would love for it to benefit from this recompilation tech. :')

Random, but you should check out Emerald Seaglass! Beautiful art style combination!

Hey, OP! I was recently gifted a desktop PC, with one spare drive, and 2 drives I had in storage for “bad sectors”. I popped the old ones in (because I have a backup) and downloaded and installed TrueNAS Scale.

TrueNAS’ web UI is BEAUTIFUL and very informative at a glance. What I was NOT prepared for, was the permissions. Like you, I started out with a Synology, because I didn’t know anything. It did what it needed to do, and that was fine. I use Plex and Jellyfin, and the new desktop had a 1660 Super in it, so you bet your ass I wanted to put that to use!

TrueNAS isn’t as easy as Synology, and like I said, the permissions thing really threw me for a loop because of how the wording on things is. To me, it isn’t in english so to speak. I learned a few tricks here and there, so if you need any help, feel free to reach out and I’ll try to help! :)

It was pretty good! I hope you enjoy it when you do get to play! :)

Thank you so much! :)
