Mindustry is such a gem. It's my most played game on Steam and for good reason

And of course! Thank you for quality news and tips

Nightfire is such a great game, you'll have a lot of fun with it. All the James Bond games are pretty slept on imo (except goldeneye, which everyone knows already).

I know Sonic Unleashed had an unofficial PC port, but I didn't know Midnight Club 3 had one, is there a PC version or are you talking about emulation on pc?

PS2/Xbox/Gamecube is my favorite era of gaming; there were so many good titles released. Here are some hidden gems some might like:

007 Nightfire: best Bond game imo aside from Goldeneye, spy themed fps, great splitscreen multiplayer

Marvel Ultimate Alliance: beat em up featuring a sizeable amount of marvel heroes (deadpool!)

Midnight Club 3: way ahead of its time; open world racing develeoped by rockstar. Basically GTA but just the car part

Sonic Unleashed: very slept-on sonic title, has the usual fast paced running but you can also become a werewolf sonic and it becomes more hack n slash / 3d platformer

SoulCalibur 2&3: SoulCalibur is my favorite fighting franchise, and SC2 is the best in that series. I like SC2 better on Gamecube because of Link, but SC3 was only released on Playstation 2

Star Trek Conquest: an RTS but for console? A decent Star Trek game? It's actually a lot of fun and challenging with certain civilizations. Winning as the Federation is HARD

Test Drive Off Road Wide Open: a racing game I used to play all the time, had an open world setting that I would just drive around in for hours. Fun, fast paced, and features Metallica!

Star Wars the Clone Wars: vehicular combat game with a surprisingly fun campaign. Flying around in a clone dropship is so much fun and the splitscreen multiplayer is a lot of fun too

I feel like so many people will continue using 10 it might not bee a problem. If browsers and antiviruses continue to update W10 versions even past eol, you would be fine if you practiced strict computer hygene and refused to install any new/untrusted programs and never visited unknown websites. Still walking a fine line though

Also make sure your games drive is not formated exfat. I tried this process with my steam library switching from windows to lmde, but Steam on linux needs access to a file sysyem with symlink support (e.g. ext4) to work properly.

I started to dual boot LMDE about a year ago, and realized how janky Windows is. So many tweaks and little things that I just "put up with" that I never really paid attention to like when 12 programs all fight to steal focus on startup.

I run hardened windows 10 but now for no reason it's displaying the "Activate Windows" watermark whenever I deny internet access to the system host, which I have done for years without issue. This is the nail in the coffin for me. My system is gonna be pure linux soon, bye bye windows

Seconded on the Dolphinbar. If you switch it to mode 4 and you have an original wiimote it works natively with Dolphin emulator. Very straightforward setup and minimal tweaking. Best 30 bucks I've ever spent

The only thing I've encountered is older versions of Wordpress. It didn't support webp until 2021 or so

Totally agree. A lot of people are adamantly hell-bent on finding if an image is AI or not. Stuck in Plato's cave for real

Subjective perfection: Knights of the Old Republic
