I’ll have to give that one a try!
I’ll have to give that one a try!
With a 2025 release, is may not even come out for Switch, it may release on Switch 2/successor.
Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain. Quite a learning curve, but I loved the different ways you can win (conquest, trade, black ops) and how much you could customize your ships or pick unique races with tolerances for different planets.
Game strategy advice for a 30+ year old game? I love this so much, you guys are awesome.
omg YES. Nothing I have found since then has quite scratched the same itch of flying around with a friend on some random dude’s server. So much fun!
Puppy was going to me my suggestion too, before I read that you’d already used it. Maybe try some of the other versions? If you used a Debian- or Ubuntu-based Puppy, you could try a Slack-based one, or vice-versa. Puppy’s organization is a little confusing, in my opinion, but it does give a user some options. You also might try some of the “puplets” that aren’t official Puppy distros but are part of the Puppy family.
Native support. 👍 I haven’t played it yet, but at this price I’ll give it a try.
I’m fine with this, particularly since you can just tick the box and still access them. Linux Mint is such a good gateway for new Linux users, it makes sense to hide unverified flatpaks until they understand the risks. Plenty of people (perhaps myself included) won’t ever need to worry about unverified flatpacks if their needs are simple and they don’t add much beyond the standard software.
It is fairly short, but at $25USD, it was priced reasonably enough that I didn’t feel cheated. And frankly, I don’t have time for very long games, I really can only manage short games, so it works out well for me.
Little Kitty Big City, which is some great, silly fun.
I appreciate when ads say “Free to Play” up front so I know not to play it. (There may be a few exceptions here and there, but as a general rule, that has served me pretty well.)
Yep. sigh I guess I’ll go replay Portal 2 again. It really is fantastic, I should be happy that we got it when we did.
Mint
I definitely found Linux Mint the easiest version to switch to, coming from Windows. All the menus and icons were basically where I expected to find them. I couldn’t have cared less about Wayland support, I just wanted to do basic tasks and for my printer to work, and Mint did that out of the box.
I dunno about it being Rougelike, but I did love me some Torchlight 1 and 2. (Haven’t played 3.)
You’re not wrong, but it was also kind of a cultural moment and it’s weird that it was disappeared entirely. Most games like that have long tails of focus creep, neglect, crapware, or irrelevance, but Flappy Bird went out with a pop.
Okay, that actually looked pretty fun, I need to dust that game off and try the multiplayer!
Honestly, this is good advice. It’s much better to keep personal computer activity on a personal device, whether that’s on a ThinkPad or anything else.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Puppy Linux, I had a laptop hard drive fail on me when I was in school and I couldn’t afford a new one. I made it through the last semester booting Puppy Linux from a USB drive. It was no-frills, but it worked.
My life is a little better knowing this fact. 😄
I really liked Lara Croft GO. It’s better than Hitman GO or other GO games.
