  • This sounds like a good idea.

    I started my Linux journey with Mint. Installation was fine and everything worked, but gaming performance was terrible. I think because not properly supporting my 9700 gre.

    Then I installed nobara (fedora) and was really happy. Everything work smoothly. Also the gaming performance was at least as good as on windows. But the fact, that this distro is a small project of a single person I started too loog around for an alternative.

    This led to me installing CashyOS (Arch). The setup was a little more complicated and I needed to install more additional packages, than on nobara. It has been a few weeks now, everything is working without much problems, but still… I somehow do not feel at home, like when running nobara.

    I thought about switching back to nobara, but maybe fedora KDE is also an option…




  • One suggestion that comes to mind is the elder scroll’s series, morrowind in particular had a good crafting system with poition brewing and stuff like that. Do not know how oblivion is holding up, becauseI never played it much, but scyrim was a lot simpler and might not fit your description.

    Another game that might scratch that itch, although in a completely different setting: the X-series. It is a giant space rpg, where you start with a small ship an can work your way up to a giant space empire (if you put in a lot of time). You can mine asteroids, trade resources, or fight pirates.




  • On the one hand I see the reason for criticism, when a person that apparently never touched a video game becomes a XBOX CEO, on the other hand does her account really read like a real one, and I think this is great. I think there is nothing easier for an Xbox CEO than to have a fake account created going back 20 years and showing thousands of hours of gaming or have somebody game for you Elon Musk style.

    This reads like someone that is actually preparing for the new role she has to fill and making her own gaming experiences and listening to community feedback.

    Is it as good as having someone as CEO with a long history in gaming? Probably not. But I think this might be the next best thing.







  • Yeah I also struggle with the layouts. I feel like they are not optimal for German, even the German layout. Most of the letters that often come in pairs like mm or ll are locked behind swipe gestures, which makes it really hard to type them fast. I get, why the most common letters are in the top layer, but I think swiping twice the same letter takes so much more time than swiping a common letter once… Maybe I have to adjust it a little. As far as I understand it is possible to edit the layouts in the app.



  • Back when the original released it was a great RPG with a great story and a world that felt alive, compared to most other RPG that were on the market. The world was open to explore from the begining without any safeguards to run into strong monsters, which helped the emersion a lot. The controls were strange, but worked somehow, when you got used to it. Combat was challenging and the leveling was rewarding, because you got notably stronger. I hope the remake is good and translates these strength into the modern age.







  • If you are talking about the golden knight, you meet after emerging from the dungeon: yeah, this one is really hard and you can skip him until much later.

    There is a small tutorial area, that is easily missed. After spawning into a new game, there is a big hole in the ground, jump down there (I think there is a guy or a message telling you to do it) and you learn the basics about fighting and other mechanics. Also with an adequately challenging mini boss at the end.
