Go-On-A-Steam-Train

Always Sometimes Monsters gets my vote! It was a good story and I felt like it was a great use of a weekend. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea (text-based, no combat), but I loved it!

Rhythm games do it for me!

• One Finger Death Punch
• Rock Band

Also the keyboard! I have never used one I liked more until thumbkey came along :) The windows keyboard was so good for swipe typing, it makes me wonder how they now own swift key and it isn’t as good!

When I had to go to Android (phone battery on the Lumia 950xl started swelling), I used things to replicate Windows Phone as it was so fun to use. :)

Omg shadow of memories! What a pick :) great game that I’ve heard barely anyone talk about :)

It feels like the rules to say an official english translation for Mother 3! Loved playing it (if Nintendo read this I did not play it)

Guiltily I’d also love a WWF Smackdown or Here Comes the Pain remaster, same arcade gameplay, same roster, or updated but just prettier and expanded! :)

Emesene and pidgin were great! :)

Being entirely honest, I would be on board with any tekken game that didn’t do season passes and DLC. :) The classics were great, and the newer games are fun too, and I’d still be playing the new games if not for that.

That said, I’d love a modern tekken 3 - I’d even be fine with a reskin of 8 that had those characters looking like they did (why not, maybe some extra ones too), volleyball, force mode etc.*

There’s interest from me if they don’t paywall stuff in what’s already an expensive game. :)

*i know my “just a reskin of 8” clashes directly with adding game modes, but I think I’d like them in there if it’s a hypothetical remake.

In case anyone is following this: Eurogamer are reporting that Game have denied this.

I really hope game will still sell… games, but am cynically wondering if they are measuring the reaction from this to make a decision. :/

Thank you, that’s really kind. All the more reason to enjoy that time! :)

It’s been a few years, and the way you described your dog made me smile more than anything :)

Aw I miss my dog! I used to say he’d walk into a room and think “Hi everyone! I’m a dog! Someone should play with me I think this would be good!”

My 1080 was okay with Linux Mint, no complaints, and performance is the same from what I can tell. :)

I just switched over to Mint from Windows 10 a month ago, and besides from setting up my quirky USB audio for music making, I was astonished as I rarely needed to look anything up. :)

Using DuckDuckGo helped I think, but presently, most of my questions I searched came back with forums with real people talking, which was lovely.

I remember trying this in 2010 and… nope, everything was a project, command lines everywhere, and it was a pig. I was very impressed this time, everything quietly worked. :) Even every steam game I threw at it, even ruddy GTA San Andreas, which never ran for me on Window 10!

The searches/sticking points I looked up were

• what the heck am I doing with partitions. (eventually nuked windows anyway)
• how do I get my specific USB audio card thingy to work.*
• how to mod fallout new vegas** (gave up and reinstalled on a windows pc, too many .exes)
• how to auto-mount a second hard drive for steam so I don’t have to click the disk every time I boot.

*there was actually a human-made guide for my usb audio when I searched on DuckDuckGo, which was made by an utter saint of a person!

** it ran fine, but I was in the middle of a save, so wanted to keep my mod loadout :)

I can second this! For me it meant that I could finish my game of modded fallout new vegas, and connect to my work’s microsoft vpn nonsense (IT support didn’t fancy trying it on Mint but that’s another story!)

I now have a personal OS that I like, and a windows partition for those few things that I can’t be bothered to troubleshoot.

So far the list is just those things and the Unity Engine as Visual Studio debugs better than code in my experience. :)

Having the option to flick back is great :) In the XP days, I loved the WUBI(?) tool that let you install ubuntu dual boot as an exe, but I think that’s not a thing these days., :)

Heck yes! Earthbound! One of those games I felt was made perfectly to my taste :) funny, quirky, slightly uncomfortable… All great. :)

hehe I read the last words a “snot much” and did a double take :)

Signed the guestbook :)

I think it could do with a very literal under construction image, with some sort of machinery- every website seemed under construction at the time!

Ugh that reminded me of getting “stuck” in Phoenix Wright 15 years ago because I didn’t have a microphone for my PC! What a disaster! That said, they did a steam remake, so that made me happy :)

I went and played Fallout 1 because I loved 3 so much… It took a few false starts (1 intelligence was a terrible call for a first playthrough lol, it ended bad)

Now I see it, 1 and 2 were so brilliant with the role playing and story that I can’t go back to 3! 😊 So many choices, strong characters, just brilliant.

That’s awesome! Thank you for the rundown, I’ll save this comment for the day that I get to making the jump :) It might be a while until I can, but it would be nice to jump back over to the comfortable Linux environment again :)

Ableton working in Wine you say…? Thank you for sharing, as that would be excellent to try! :)
