  1. Cyberpunk 2 confirmed? Hopefully, they learned their lesson from the first version. Pervious me, would have put the cash down game unseen. Now, It will be well after it has been released. Don't get me wrong. It worked pretty well on my machine but it wasn't polished and there were serious issues that broke my immersion in the game. Thoughts?
  2. I'm playing some Prototype now that I fixed it so that it doesnt crash. Nice game for the time IMO. Shows it age now, but still a bit of fun if you got it.
  3. There are several free games on Luna Games/Amazon Prime for users of this service. Of note for this site is Fallout 3 Game of the year, New Vegas, as well as Fallout 76. Fallout 3 / NV is for GOG Fallout 76 is for Windows Store. Free is good. You might find some other old delights or new experiences you might enjoy as well. The only cost is the time to redeem and download. That is a win in my book!
  4. I never played that game that I can remember. However, it does have a rocking song
  5. If only Bethesda can stop messing up their games with their "updates". Making modding a nightmare. If my modded game character looked like that, I wouldn't stop modding Skyrim as well. (and likely wouldn't leave my home ever again as well... )
  6. Modding the original xbox was known to be able to be done. The main problem is the protections that they have or so they say. The most current Xbox is PC components. Pretty much the same. Playstation as well if you have the right one
  7. Apparently you can even install Linux on an Xbox 360. https://windowsreport.com/turn-xbox-into-pc/ Interesting. You technically can install it on an Xbox X or S but they (microslofth) has protections on the console preventing it from easily being done. They (the hackers) have to figure out how to get past that first then it can be done.
  8. I need to get some time to be able to watch this a couple of times and then do it. I think I might want to reinstall my OS to make sure things are all OK and nothing there to cause trouble. (So 15 minutes later I can do it. lol. OK, 20 or 25 minutes with ALL my software I am using.
  9. He had the best explanation of immutable os I have ever heard. "Work around" This means you have to layer it over Bazzite. Not advised. sudo ostree **** etc. This is done with any application that doens't have a Flatpak option and some with Flatpak options if it requires permissions and additions might have an issue, so I have heard. Never ran into that option. I would love to use this and give it a try. However, I can't find one that uses integrated graphics.
  10. Generally ther is a lot of support for Linux on the web. There are forums you can join with people with way more experience than you have and lots of documentaiton. I'd advise you to stick with Debian based systems as generally that is refered to more im my experience. Also, keep in mind that just because there is support the support might be complex and beyond your ability to do. I'd also advise to have a good back up of your Home folder (personal data) and a thumb drive ready to reinstall expecially when you first start. Or even better if you have a strong machine just use a VM. You can snapshot it easily and restore with most anything that happens beyond your control. You can also install different versions of Linux like Mint or Unbuntu or Kubuntu etc. and learn and experience it . Find what you like which destop you want (KDE, plasma etc.) for your LInux. One breaks just move to the other one. Nuke and resintall. One thing ... in general,.. installing LInux is really quick especially if you are willing to use simple commands. sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade sudo apt autoclean Debian system commands to start with. It will download everything and keep it fresh. Also, unlike Windoze, I have some updates waiting to be installed for over a week. I CHOOSE when I want to install it not the OS. Also generally very few pop ups and interruptions. I was playing a game and Windows decided it was the perfect time to pop up a notification in the middle of my full screen game when I was right in the middle of a difficlut boss. What the fuck Microsoft? Seriously ? Nobody thought that maybe perhaps when specific types of programs are running you wouldn't pop up some bullshit notification. I couldn't access it and it was 4 times larger than the notification on my desktop without the game runniing. I had to alt tab out of the game to shut that bullshit down. Linux doesn't do that. That alone is worth the price of admission.
  11. She will have her laugh as well. Her Cackles. Holy crap her laugh. She didn't't have the skill. He looked like a deer with their eyes in bright headlights anytime she was asked any serious question. Her debates was redundant and often times irrelevant. The longer she went, the worse she did. The only thing her campaign did was make those that didn't doubt the previous election start to doubt the previous election and wonder where all those votes for Biden came from. Some locations had more votes last election than they had people. How did that happen The Democrats stated that the Republicans were running fradulant elections. However, this time they were very strict. Kicked out thousands of illegal people allowed to vote. Dead people, people that weren't citizens and people that didn't even live there People that didn't have any right to vote. Then they reported the results. showing last vs now. with total people and several of the Democratic places had total less voters and lost to the Republicans. Some state they were removing the Democrats or others illegally. However, that is a serious charge. That never was proven. A Lie There isn't anyone in the Democratic membership that has any quality or IMO ability to run against even a lower rung Republican. Much less soeone with some experience and abilty. They will loose as it is now. They will loose badly.
  12. With a Bethesda game you NEED to do this. It is so unstable. Save Scumming is required!
  13. This just further validates my move to Linux that I have been working on for the past couple of years. Unfortunately I will still need a Window system for my gaming even with all the advancement in Bazzite OS and or all the tools to play Windows games it still is something I need even if it is only for games I like to mod (the tools are Windows based and I want to be 100% sure if it is my screw-up and not wonder if it is some glitch with the emulation etc. This, as well as online games that have no Linux equivalent. Of which there are a lot. I have been trying out software and growing my library of tools and software and commands for Linux making it even more enjoyable to use Linux as well as more efficient to do so.
  14. I meant that it should be free. Not paid. AS for Linux, There is no excuse not to start. You can use: 1. VM. Safe and effective. Need some added ram, but not as much as if you ran a Windows OS. 2. Dual boot (ideally with a second drive. Windows can fuck up the bootloader and make you have troubles) 3. Install Linux and then use Windows in a VM and "pass-through" the hardware such as graphics card, SSD hard drive, sound etc. 4. Dedicated Linux machine and dedicated windows (in this case gaming ) machine. Hardware to run most Linux is cheap. You don't need a lot. If you have an old Windows 10 machine, chances are it is plenty powerful enough to run most Linux OSs. 1. The first step is great for a noob. You can't screw up things badly. Worst case, delete the VM and reinstall it. If you have snapshots enabled. You can restore to the previous snapshot. 2. Is great for someone that is able and enjoys using Linux every day while still having full power when desired for either operating system. Drawback, you have to reboot the machine to get access to the other OS. Great if you only use Windows for gaming. When you finish your work and such on Linux, reboot to Windoze and have a fun time playing a game. Boot back to Linux to do more work. A second drive is easier to set up. Follow the many YouTube tutorials regarding this. This is great for someone that is more comfortable with Linux 3. You can install Linux in a powerful main machine and then install Windoze of your choice (or multiple ones) in a VM and pass-through the hardware needed to play the games. Graphics card, hard drive, sound etc. Then you can use both. Most VM have snapshots so you can create a snapshot and when something is done by Microsoft that borks the OS you can restore. NO need to image the OS or other crap. 4. This is for more power users. People that want 100% of the power for every second. "I h ave the power" as He Man states. This is two separate machines which one is pure Windows and the other is Pure Linux. This is also good as you will be able to keep everything 100% separate with no doubts (unless you share a central folder and access it from both machines. A "server" which is a different conversation which isn't covered here. TL;DR Install a Linux on your main machine in a VM to start. Get started and used to the way Linux does things. Commands etc. Then you can move later when you are more comfortable. I have a Linux, Chromebook, Windows gaming machine, Mac, (outdated not supported working on it likely will have Linux with KDE and GUI that looks like Mac .. Why? Because Why not? lol. Finally, a second Windows 11 machine so I can use it for some BS I don't want to do on my Gaming Machine. Each tool has its own purpose. Chromebook = Google ecosystem, Linux, main work including moderation and gaming sites., Windows gaming. = Duh, Windows gaming, Mac, = experimentation perhaps force an update to current Mac Os or Linux. A project machine, finally Windows 11 laptop. = for various bullshit that I don't care about but need Windows for. Shareware (questionable software etc.) Every one of thes machines besides the Windows 11 gaming machine was less than 200 dollars. One of them was less than 40 dollars to buy. YOu can get simple usable hardware to start linux (when you are ready) No reason to not do it.
  15. Honestly I hope that is the case. I hope that they start creating decent, reasonable games going forward and we can look at the past several years as the past. nightmare, it was never to happen again.
