Tom Clancy's The Division 2 - Stadia

This game has been a gem for my crew. We have clan. We are all lvl 30 and currently on World Tier 5. We don't plan on getting any DLC but for now everyone seems to be happy with this one. Been playing it on my main gaming rig running Ubuntu Mate 20.04, Gazelle 17 Pro laptop and my android all via gamepad it' great.

Shadowgate - GOG

Ended this one and got all of the endings. I loved this game. The music. The art. The voice acting. The hint system. The setting and atmosphere was excellent. I also like how the game is very short so you're left with a feeling of reading a short story. I need more games like this.

Tonight We Riot - itch.io/GOG

My wife and I ended this one awhile back but we struggle to get all gold on it. Finally did it recently. A friend of mine stopped by and we introduced it to her and she loved it. Had a good time going through the game with her. I think we made her a GOG customer too.

Starward Rogue - Direct from Devs

Recently ended this one for the first time and it's fucking great. It's going to be added to my must install list when building new rigs.

Quoting: Arcadius-8606Nice! These days I prefer to get together to play RPGs and not have to lug thousands of dollars of equipment around. Or in the case of most of my friends, they don't even have rigs that can game decently enough anyhow. Though sadly... I do have enough old hardware that if we did a LAN party with some older games, I own enough for myself that people wouldn't have to bring their own :P Cheap thinkpads on ebay... kind of a curse!

I had a 8 man LAN setup with Dell Optiplex desktops from 2012 to 2016 that I got for free from my job as they were upgrading. Those machines ran games from Doom (1993) to UT2k4, Xonotic, L4D2, Killing Floor with no issue. I also had arcade cabs + custom Raspberry Pi cabs. I sold it all. Moved to a small home. My most recent LAN meet was during this past weekend and we all played on a mix of laptops (their own) and local MP games on my HTPCs.

My family stayed in the low tier of computer gaming and don't go over $400 for a new rig or $800 for a new laptop. That said I'm great at getting deals and finding physical freebies.

We do play some board games and miniature games like - Cards Against Humanity, DS9 Fluxx, Zombies!!!, Heroclix, Marvel/DC/Valiant Deckbuilder and Hero's Quest along with card games like Poker, Spades, Uno and the like.

This is good news. Rayman Legends would be great to check out. Going to wait for the sales, though. Div 2 was $3.74 with Pro and the 3 month free Lenovo code has helped everyone I know in Stadia jump back in and pick up some of these under $5 games. I have about under $40 left of my GRC points but I'm waiting for more cross platform MP games to pick up.

Quoting: slaapliedjeMMOs (specifically WoW) killed our LAN games... but that was many moons ago.

Sorry to hear that. My original crew was 17 deep. We lost some around 2000ish when many of us became parents. Dwindled down to 6 to 9. Then around 2010 spiked back up for a few years to 15 to 17 bi-weekly. Now we are a solid 9 with ppl floating in and out to as high as 23 on good weekends.

Hmm. I'm feeling this. I will hit Microcenter when it comes out and decide then. Right now I downsized a lot of my tech at home and I'm looking to upgrade in 2023 but I can sell my current rig now and get $200 on top of what I paid for it in 2009 and get this instead for my main gaming rig. Hmm Hmm

Quoting: slaapliedjeI'll have to check again and report back about MP. I thought it was really the only thing missing on it (not that I actually like playing games multiplayer with strangers). They do have an amazing high score thing, though I felt like there were AI bots or something that held the top three for every single game....

I don't play games online with strangers myself but I have a lot of friends and family that I play with and online MP is a must have these days since LAN gatherings were killed when the latest pandemic hit.

Quoting: sneakeyboard...and here I am, the outlier, opting for steam due to its built-in controller support...lol. I may look into those GOG clients to see if they offer the feature but don't think it is. Guess that still counts as convenience since you just click a checkbox.

98% of my gaming is on controllers and has been for a very long time. I think the last time I had issues with Linux and controllers was 2002 to 2003 after that I don't recall any issues. Steam is a good store and all of that but they just don't do it for me. I prefer launcher less gaming and since my library is small management is a non-issue.

Quoting: slaapliedjeAntstream works on Linux and hasn't had much of a mention here, but it also has a ton of retro games on it. Though you can feel the latency on some games (like Metal Slug) but I could play Burgertime and such quite well! They have lots of games from arcade to Amiga, etc.

Did they ever add MP to that? The big deal is MP with retro games. Also Metal Slug 1 was SLOW even on the original MVS cab. It's the most unpolished game of the series. Source: Owned and original MVS cab with it and 3 other games from the 90's.
