Rollercoaster Tycoon. What was a silly little game which we got for free out of a cereal box is now a main stay on any computer I own. Runs on everything and has aged incredibility well.

Shoutout to OpenRCT2 for modernizing it, even if the original games run fine as is

Instruction unclear, spent more money than I had, so now I owe the mafia money. Any idea on how to pay them back?

Nah, not much of an achievement hunter. And filling in the map in GBC Zelda usually gets you most of the secrets.

“Vita means life”

Not that Sony game it any chance

It’s a PS Vita 2000, Sony’s “Budget” Vita.

I’ve tried it, but honestly when I started this session of Ages I didn’t care. Might do it when replaying Seasons thou.

Had a Vita 1000 since launch (got the first edition bundle). Then years later I got a Vita2SD which destroyed the card reader (my mistake). So I got this JP Vita 2000 since I wanted one in Blue and the Vita 2000 is pricey.

Retroarch is a wonderful tool to play older games on whatever you have, though it’s a lot of work, the effort to get a device like a GBxCart or to hack a 3DS to get the ROMs is worth playing.

Personally I miss small form factor systems like the Vita, and hope that there will be a Steam Deck Lite one day that is pocketable.

Got seasons when it was on 3DS VC and beat that a while ago. Love the password progress thingy.

Mostly the sub $5 games since if I don’t play it, its fine. Like Celeste

I too install Linux Mint, though Fedora Silverblue and Kinote is another good alternative.

The FunkoPop Store EB Games here in Canada were re-labeled to GameStop recently. They’re still in every Mall in the land from what I’ve seen. Though they are doing better. Game selection isn’t what it use to be, but the variety is growing now. I was surprised when I found Manga in our local GameStop.

Not exactly my cup of tea, but catering to “Nerd” culture, and going beyond “Merch” is something I can get behind, since it’s rare to see another store not selling the same old drivel as everyone else.

While its annoying, its so easy to unsubscribe that I see it as a fair price for a free game.

Still one of my favourite sounds tracks to any game.

I have the old physical copy. The DRM on it is awful, get the GOG copy.

$500 for a Krabby Patty?

With cheese Mr. Squidward, with cheese.

You can do this with 10 but not 11. Tested on both a VM and hardware.

Windows 95 -> Windows 98 -> Windows XP -> Windows Vista -> Windows 7 -> Dual Boot Ubuntu -> Windows 7 -> Dual Boot Ubuntu -> Windows 7 -> Windows 10 -> Ubuntu (VM) -> Pop_OS! -> Windows 10 -> Manjaro -> Fedora -> Manjaro -> Open Suse -> Linux Mint -> Linux Mint DE -> Fedora -> Debain -> Linux Mint

Was more focused on the online games with kernel level anti cheat. But yeah, it’s surprising how many online games work. Excluding native games like CS2/CS GO and TF2, I was able to play non-steam online games online like EA’s Battlefront 2, OG Battlefront 1, with wine-ge.

While I agree with this video. As someone who did migrate from Windows to Linux, I feel the biggest issue which wasn’t address here was the planning for migrating to Linux.

Migrating to Linux means loosing access to Windows native applications like Adobe and kernel level anti cheat online games. What I found helped the most was transitioning to cross platform application and learning their ins and outs in Windows, or discovering ways to validate which applications work well in Proton and Wine.

With games ProtonDB is your best bet to see if there are issues. Or finding ways to solve issues.

With Professional software… you’re not going to be as lucky, so transitioning to an alternative which works for you might be the best solution.

The best way to check if Linux will work for you is to run Linux in a VM or on an external SSD on your actual hardware. The best way to check if something works for you is to try it yourself.

I while I understand the sentiment, I have found that paid software is more polished than foss software… most of the time. And when I need to get work done, I want to ensure that my software is stable and I will pay to do so.

That said, I feel software is like a bell curve, and the older the type of software is, the more it should be FOSS. Like word processors, 3D modelling, or image manipulation should be foss, while video editing and 3D scanning software is OK to be paid.

What I feel everyone should agree with is not being forced to use a subscription service to use the software. I will boycott software if it forces that upon their customers, looking at you Adobe, Autodesk and Microsoft.
