Might be me, I have mostly been emulating for the past month. And that only goes through the steam client on the deck

Hey neat, an iteration of this meme that is edited from an edit I posted on linuxmemes a few months ago.

That would cause the turbine to lock up with this design

Yeah but Coke isn't JUST sweeteners (it's real sugar over here u-u) and water. At least according to the ingredients list, there's like, the extract of a weird nut (the Cola nut!), you'd think that would have some sugars and ~organic bits~ (proteins? Idk) of its own

Kinda like how juices with "no added sugar" still have some calories, idk

Most likely your instance is defederated from all the nazi-adjacent instances 🤷

Exquisite taste.

Seconding the Zelda rec, Majora's being my favourite as well, with Minish Cap being a close second. (narrative-wise, that is)

I am confused.

I've been gaming on Linux exclusively for 3 years now. So. These are all proton-tested-and-approved. Though a couple (especially the old ones) require a bit of tinkering.

  • Pillars of Eternity I and II -- Slow burns. cRPGs. Get very good, but take a while to get there
  • Tyranny -- Same developer, also a cRPG, but gets to the point faster, and in fact can be finished in one weekend. Do note: It's an "evil campaign" type of RPG.
  • Pyre -- A fantasy basketball game with a Visual Novel on the side. Very touching story, made me cry twice. And the gameplay is no slouch either, even if I kinda suck at it. (... Though when you lose the games you don't game over, the story just changes)
  • Wolfenstein the New Order -- FPS set in an alternate history where the nazis won WW2, where you play a resistance fighter. Very enjoyable action, and it always feels good to blow nazis away.
  • Dishonored 2 -- Stealth-FPS/Immersive Sim where you play as an assassin-princess who can turn herself into a horrid tentacle monster. Also a nice story.
  • Enderal: Forgotten Stories -- Skyrim Total Conversion title. Very surreal and trippy story. Pushes the Skyrim engine to its absolute breaking point to realize the developers' vision, and doesn't always get there.
  • Fallout: New Vegas -- I mean, if I didn't bring it up, someone would. New Vegas is a flawed and messy game, but it is just about competent enough that you are fine with it being less-than-ideal in the name of getting to the story.

If old games & emulation are on the cards --

  • Terranigma (SNES) -- What if Legend of Zelda... But you are literally creating the world by doing your quest. It's nuts. I love it.
  • Legacy of Kain series (PS1, PS2, PC) -- Very flawed gameplay on all of them (each in its own unique way)... But it is legitimately one of the greatest tales ever told through gaming. (note: It's also edgy)
  • Prince of Persia Sands Trilogy (PC, PS2, GC, Xbox) -- This little trilogy of games from the sixth generation delivers in both elegant platforming gameplay and entertaining storytelling. Does suck that they are from a time that game devs thought subtitling your cutscenes would make your skin fall off (or something. No games back then had subbed cutscenes and it sucked)
  • Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi series (Nintendo machines) -- Comedy RPGs about the Mario characters (duh). Very well written, especially Thousand Year Door (GC/Switch) and the original Mario & Luigi (GBA/3DS). Story is as vanilla as you'd expect, since it's Mario, but it is worth it for the comedy imho

All those stepmothers have gotta imply something about the disney fandom--

I call it by two names, depending on how cheeky I'm feeling that day

Cheeky one is "hashtag-Basketball4Freedom"

Non-cheeky one is "one of three video game stories that made me legitimately cry, like straight up bawling -- With a fantastical version of NBA Jam bolted on the side"
