Valheim will let you puke up all your food in Hearth & Home
31 Aug 2021 at 8:40 pm UTC

Well, gonna have to build an addition to the castle then for the new cookstations.

(and farm up more stuff!)

I like the bukebeery idea. :D

Valheim gets a needed patch, new terrain-modification system and no more draugr in stones

Sea Serpents will try and have your boat for lunch. They have mean bite too.

Troll at this point are in the "Just go away and leave me alone. No? ok, FINE! Meet Frostner!" :)

Fulings are the pain. They come in packs, and hit very hard. Doable, but gotta be very careful.
(the 2 star ones in particular)

Deathsquitos are just like regular skeeters now. *SWAT* :D

I agree on the flat roof, and of course, need a hatch.

The terrain optimization is hugely welcome. Did the optterrain on the main base, and it really really
made a diff in the fps. Loading is so much faster now.

(which means making a large sprawling village/farms is doable/playable now)

A way to get rid of unwanted items more easily would be nice indeed.
(right now, it's load up the boat, sail into ocean and dump it. hmm, that's prolly why the sea serpent
wants to eat my boat. Littering!) :P

Valheim is just an incredible experience you need to play

192 hrs and counting. Furlings just killed our boat too (and me). Only way to Bonemass is near them.
umf.

Gonna look forward to pillaging their villages for sure.

(btw, it's fun to watch them fight the greydorfs and draugr. pick off the survivors. get all 3 on the fwd base we picked.)

They hit HARD tho. for now....

Building a Retro Linux Gaming Computer - Part 3: Installing Red Hat Linux 9
18 Mar 2021 at 10:14 pm UTC

I still have some of those old Loki games, and one, Civ:CTP does work on modern linux with a bit of fiddling, (just a bit), except for the music. That's solved just by having something else play the CD. :)

Mandrake for Gaming included Sims for Linux (no number, just The Sims)

It's fun trying to get that old stuff going for sure. (and I do have one old box kicking about that I just may try and get going again in a couple months. Bunch of old vid cards, even have an old 5.25" floppy drive kicking about. heh)

Curious how your trials are going to turn out. :)

(I went through them all once already, as it all happened. Linux on 25 floppies? shudder)

There's no stopping the Viking invasion as Valheim hits 3 million sales

I find it highly addictive, almost like the "just one more turn..." in Civ.

26hrs, have the first boss done, doing the bronze upgrades...
mining is a chore to be sure... I thought the default 7DTD storage was bad..

However, there are hilarious parts, bashing a skeleton and watching the bones
go flipping end over end in all directions..

The physics.. George of the Jungle. Watch out for that... Treeeee... ouch!
Chain reactions on trees is fun.

For $20 it's a good buy, and it works great in 4k res in linux.

Did crash once so far. (hard lockup, alt-f1 to do a kill -9 on it, middle of stream)
oopsie!

Graphics are low res, but remember, FTL has low res graphics too.
Fun game though.

What I find amusing too, is you can world/seed hop with your char, and move stuff between them.

(so yes, found the trader seed online, once you get there, sell/buy, logout, go to main world.
need the trader again, login to that world, and you are standing right there. cheesy, yes.
Handy, good gods yes)

btw, I blame GOL for this, just like 7DTD. (3400hrs in 3 years ...)
:D

So, TL;DR it's worth a 20.
(plus tax of course)
;p

If you can't login to World of Warcraft or WoW Classic on Linux, here's a quick fix for now

Well, that explains why it stopped working.

Will test that for tonights gaming. (I hate having to reboot into that "other" system)
:)

We have some keys for the online team-based building and raiding game 'Scrunk' to give away
20 Jul 2018 at 8:25 pm UTC

aww phoo, too slow. oh well, the free weekend play was hilarious.
(so if you find an extra key under the couch cushions....) :D

The Linux version of Civilization VI should get cross-platform online play in the next few weeks

Cross platform has been a thorn for ages. Yammered about extensively in the linux threads on steam for the game/platform.

I'm just glad this means we're finally getting the latest patch. yay!

We've scheduled some more Rocket League tournaments, come join

Driving those things with keyboard/mouse while also having a few beers.. does that count for any skillz?
..snicker..
