Quoting: Linux_RocksI think that screen flicker bug that got fixed was the same one that I was seeing in GZDoom while in the Doom menu. I was wondering WTF was up, cause I hadn't seen it like that before. lol

Yes, I play Doom and Chex Quest on a 4090. 👀
Perfectly good game choices, I am more curious about the heavy investment of a 4090, and yet running it on Linux.
So far great actually. Only issue was needing to set "prefer high performance" and very high image quality in the Nvidia control panel. As the defaults are stupid, and held back the card.

Quake II RTX runs amazing natively. So does everything else that I throw at it in Linux. I multi-boot, so I don't really use Proton all that much. But everything in Linux has been fine outside of this screen flicker thing. At least the menus are still useable, and it does go away in game. Quake II RTX is locked at 144Hz at 4K max settings, and playing GZDoom games at a locked 4K 144Hz is really fast and awesome. lol

I'll probably get it from Steam later on to go with my copy of the first game, I think.

I've seen it were the Linux native game was only on Itch.io and not Steam. Which is annoying to me, cause Steam supports Linux. But at least there's an Itch.io launcher or whatever. I wonder if they could add ZOOM Platform to Heroic along with Itch.io. 🤔

Quoting: redneckdrowNever let a modern kid handle an 8/16-bit computer of any sort if you like your CRT. I found that out the hard way. :whistle:
I'd beat the living shit outta the bastard if a kid did anything to my stuff. As it is I make my friends wash their hands before playing my stuff, and I flat out tell them that I don't know where they've been. lol

I don't have children and don't want them. Both cause of how I was a little shit as a kid, and also cause I don't want to condemn a child to this dystopian hellscape.

I don't even like my Dad and I still apologized to him for wrecking some of his stuff as a kid. XD

I've got the first two packs already, but I'm waiting for the third to go on sale to buy it on Steam.

Quoting: Linux_RocksThe two Chinese games that I want most are of course not on sale (even though other games in those series are). Xuan-Yuan Sword VII and Sword and Fairy 6. D:
Oh, and I highly recommend Sword and Fairy 7 [External Link] to everyone. It's a great game, and incredibly gorgeous as well. The ray tracing on the jade floors is beautiful. Digital Foundry did a great video [External Link] on it, and that's what introduced me to the series. The DLC [External Link] is worth it too.
Is it enjoyable as a standalone experience or do you need to know the previous ones?
It's a standalone game.
