Halls of Torment the retro Diablo styled Vampire Survivors-like 'closing in on the finale'

Might have to give this another go. After getting Soulstone Survivors and Greedland I’ve not played this again

Soulstone Survivors a great Vampire Survivor-like has a huge skill tree upgrade

Quoting: dOwN_lOaDGood gameplay for this type of game, very good difficulty, but if you do the upgrades the wrong way, shit..
A great time pass!
You can re-roll them

One of the best twin-stick shooters I've played in recent memory

Quoting: UltraVioleti hope 'Fractional Scaling' is refined sooner rather than later as i would love to scale my display to 125%
That's... one of the features that's included in 20.04 for Gnome. The other desktop environments have had it for a long time already.
i've tried using it in 20.04 but it doesn't run very well

Been playing the game for a few days now and it’s excellent! Well worth any fan of twin-stick shooters to give a go

Linux Mint 19.2 now officially available across multiple desktop flavours

Quoting: UltraVioletIs there any way to change to a older kernel that you've installed if you can't press f8 at boot up for advanced options ?
Usually when you installed a wrong kernel you need to press and hold the left shift key. But it's really hard to get the right timing.

Have you tried to spam the arrow keys up or down? This will simulate that you want to choose something in grub menu.
Thanks for the info, I’ll give a go :-)

Quoting: 14Congrats to you. Bold move! I dual booted for about two years until I realized that I hadn't booted into Windows for four months straight! That's when I was confident enough. :)
Thank you. Well I felt it would be the right move. I thought Linux would be more complicated but you can find so much help on the internet if something isn't working right. But it runs very well. I just had some problems with my USB 3 ports because of my mainboard. But I found quickly a solution for that. Well and I had to learn a few terminal commands.

Quoting: tmtvl...Wait what? 5.2 is stable and 4.19 is long-term support. The LTS before 4.19 was 4.14. Why is Mint on 4.15? This doesn't make any sense.

Also, outdated drivers make for poor gaming.
The kernel isn't old. Actually the 4.15 kernel is the official Ubuntu LTS kernel. It's supported until April 2023. Source: Ubuntu Wiki [External Link]

But if you like you can switch easily the kernel on Linux Mint. The newest kernel I got was the 5.0.0-23 and it's supported until February 2020.
