Tomb Raider: Dark Souls Edition
(Actually: Rise of the Tomb Raider)

Enjoying Genshin Impact while it lasts.

Finally an update to No Man's Sky where the game doesn't crash. Started a new game and managed to play 40mins straight without crashing.

The screenshot below has a story to tell.

I'm currently *still* running Debian 9, reason is moving to a newer one (such as Debian 10) will require a lot of work due to the amount of customizations I've implemented and Debian 11 is just a few months away, that's when I'll upgrade (rolling distros are not an option for me). In the meantime I wanted to play this game again (compatibility with older distros broke with the latest update), so what could I do besides waiting? Enter the world of Chroot.

What I did:
Downloaded Ubuntu 20.10 ISO and have extracted the 'filesystem.squashfs' file. (This file contains the live environment).
Unpacked the squashfs file itself into a folder. (With this done I can now Chroot via terminal into the system).
In terminal I ran: xhost +local: (This will allow GUI software from the chroot environment to run on my real desktop).

Here's the tricky part:
mounted real "/dev/snd" to "my/chroot/dev/snd" (This gave sound access to the chroot)
mounted real "/dev/dri" to "my/chroot/dev/dri" (This partially gave GPU access to the chroot)
mounted real "/sys" to "my/chroot/sys" (This gave further access to the GPU inc. acceleration)

End Result:


EDIT: Tried the same method with Nvidia GPU and as expected didn't work, normal utilities such as calculator or even file manager works fine but nothing in the way of 3d acceleration (not even llvmpipe).

Most people won't need this but it goes to show the power and flexibility of Linux.

It’s probably hard on hard.

That said, it really looks like Dark Souls in this screenshot.

I'm asking because Tomb Raider hard by design (not just as an option in settings) sounds like something I would very much want to play.

There were some challenging fights for sure, even on normal. My point with the screenshot, though, was the look. There are many fogged doorways with low lighting in Souls games. And this scene in particular has a lot of dead corpses, which is par for the course in a Souls game.

Been replaying Doom 3 using the dhewm3 project. I must say this game has aged very well, it's been almost 17 years since the original release!

I d not fully understand English, so I do not known It is related to a screenshots of new game (so I recently bought it) or a new screenshots of some game.

There is link to my Civ6 match:

I have prosperity economy. I had also 550 Culture per turn, but I decided to join Culture CityState to my country by great merchant. I was master of this city state and it gives me a lot of profits (culture and +2 diplomatic points). I think it was bad decision, because probably I could won many turns before I at least won.

You're alright. Back in the day there was a different screenshot thread, but when the forums relaunched in 2013 or so I decided to make a new one, hence "A New Game Screenshots Thread".

since when witcher 3 is native? :whistle:

been playing way too much of it lately, damn you Steam sales 😅

Quake Mission Pack 2: Dissolution of Eternity





I was not expecting it to suddenly become Daikatana starting from episode two. At least it is reminding me of the BEST part of Daikatana... :whistle:
