Baby Shark. Because... it kinda looks like a shark? (Blue Mitsubishi Outlander Sport/ASX, depends on the country)

I made the jump recently, and although there are clear issues, I don't see any reason to use windows as my primary gaming OS anymore. Some games still require some fiddling with proton versions, extra command line arguments, environment variables, etc. That is bad for the average user that just wants to click play and play. Also, I noticed that at least on my setup (alienware laptop with nvidia gpu), some games have clear performance issues compared to windows, mainly some UE games. But it's not so bad to make me want to boot windows again.

And just some extra two cents: I'm still keeping a windows partition for those games that simply cannot run on linux, and it's possible to keep your main library on the linux partition (I'm using btreefs) and use that same library on windows. You just have to install a driver on windows, and it works beautifully. Haven't had any issues so far.

One more candidate: Mini Car Racing Not exactly dark or gritty, and also there doesn't seem to be pickup audio clips

Have you looked at Excessive Speed? Very similar to death rally, but I'm not sure about the boostah clip...

Seems it has been re-released recently: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3138660/Excessive_Speed/

I am sorry, but it seems your Avowed is different from the one I am playing. I agree with your comment, but I am enjoying Avowed like I haven't enjoyed any game in years! And barely any choices? Really? I just finished the first area (not the tutorial), and there were LOTS of meaningful choices! But speaking of the tutorial, there was a choice there that impacted certain future interactions. The R is definitely there in this RPG. I haven't played a game where even the little choices matter as much as in this game!

Well, one possibility is using something known as Fabry-Perot filter. It allows an extremely narrow frequency to pass, due to multiple reflections and interferences inside the material. Put the light source material within this filter, and you get a laser. That's essentially the main difference between a led and a semiconductor laser. The filter makes only a narrow band of the emission be "stuck" there, creating a feedback effect that eventually tends to infinity, and a good chunk of that power passes through the filter reflectors, which are intentionally not perfect.

Other than that, I don't think there is a filter that could be as narrow as the line emission from vapor lamps. Maybe using metamaterials, but a laser would be so much cheaper and easier. A vapor laser would certainly get the job done, but they are large and hard to maintain.

A laser, maybe, but definitely not LEDs. Vapor/gas lamps produce the narrowest frequency bands possible, because it comes from very well defined atomic transitions (Hz range). LEDs produce frequency bands with widths in the GHz/THz range, while semiconductor lasers can maybe reach KHz if they are really good. So, unfortunately, for this type of applications, vapor lamps would probably still be needed.

Source: I work with lasers and spectroscopy.

Edit: very good idea about using non-visible light!

The answer is not real. The tool, on the other hand, is called Perplexity. It "understands" your question, searches the web, and gives you a summary, citing all the relevant sources.

I think whoever owns the rights can do that, not necessarily the artist.

It takes some fiddling, but it works, and is fantastic!

Your description got my attention, so I opened the steam link to consider buying it and... Hey, it was already in my library!
