I have this game and it makes Battletoads of the NES a child's game in comparison (difficulty wise).

A world of advice, tough, is that the pacing of the game is tied to your screen refresh rate. If you play it in anything above 60Hz the game will become very fast and almost unplayable.

So if you are not a rage quitter and like a challenge, is definitely a must on any Linux gamer library.

Well, I have over 200 games on my library and never played most of them, so maybe this reminds me to try some stuff I bought and had forgotten.

Fine by me. I see no reason to support more than 2 generations of CPUs on the same motherboard. Look at how troublesome Ryzen 3000 support was at launch, with a scramble to update BIOSes on old boards that ended loosing support for older processors.

I want to buy a motherboard without too much research to know if what I'm buying have the necessary update for the CPU I chose.

Quoting: M@GOidThe price of this game is very high here in Brazil. How much it is in the US?

Currently $22.49 on Steam with a 10% discount, but there's no price listed on Humble yet. Google says that equates to 122.34 in Brazilian real. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't know that's what your currency is called.

No need to be ashamed. I for one have no idea what is the currency of the majority of Brazil's neighbors...

Brazil is one of those countries where Valve do a price reduction relatively to the US Dollar conversion, because selling games at full price would drive people to piracy.

I asked because I thought the price was higher than what this type of game generally cost around here. It didn't help that our currency dropped in value more than 30% since the world pandemic started.

I have a Xbone S controller and the bluetooth dongle I use sucks, the ultra common "0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio", sold in a variety of models. While the DS4 connects more or less okay, the MS controller only connect fast on the pairing configuration. Later it takes all the time of the world to connect, when it does it. Funny enough, when the DS4 is also connected, the Xbone controller connects faster, go figure...

I noticed that the Intel bluetooth adapter from my laptop works flawless with it and the DS4, but I play on a desktop. Also I want a USB dongle.

Does anyone here have the TP-Link UB400/UB4A USB Bluetooth dongle? What is the output of the "lsusb" command in the terminal for it?

It is very nice indeed. Some games have annoying characteristics that a project like this can fix. What I wouldn't do for a Super EF-2000 project like this. Or "No One Lives Forever 2"? I cry only remembering it.

I would advise anyone on Linux to avoid buying it right now. not only it has disabled Multi-core Rendering (a big performance enhancer), but it crashes after you change options on the Video advance menu. These problems were there since early betas and none were corrected, so do not give your money to developers who treat us like this.

Multicore Rendering is disabled on the video settings? What is this, 2004? My performance is crap for a game in such ancient engine. Other Valve games play way better than this.

This kind of thing is why I completely avoid competitive multiplayer and play cooperative ones only with friends. Too much frustration for the fun you get.

Recently a old friend confessed to us in a reunion that he is a red handed cheater. His excuse is not even that he sucks (I know for sure he isn't bad), but because other people blatantly do it. So if he want to have the least amount of fun in a match, he has to do it too...

I abandoned CS a long time ago on the Source days, because of too many people cheating. And there are servers that didn't even allow voting to kick a player. So **ck that ***t, my time is better spent on single player games, where if I die, I know is because of me, not some low life cheater.
