Now that you mention the older games you own. It might be worth it to make some backups in the form of iso's or copies. In case they get disk rot at some point. I think some of them must be close to 30 years old now.

Funny you mention Strife. I never really knew about Strife until much later when I found out about it. I have played the shareware version of Heretic quite a lot. But what really fascinated me back then where the early Grand Theft Auto and Carmageddon games. I guess my interest for cars translated into my games as well. Since those are technically open world driving games beside other things.

If you have the codes with the cd you might be able to claim it on Steam. Doesn't always work but I'm told it works for some games.

I am currently using InSync on 64-bit devices and Overgrive on 32-bit devices. Overgrive works just fine on 64-bit devices tol but Insync is slightly more userfriendly.

I removed the snap version of firefox as soon as snap started whining it couldn't update because I was using firefox. And it even seems to start a little faster now that it's installed through a ppa.

True. I am working on some scripts so I can simply do a fresh install and then it's all setup the way I like it. Some parts are easy but others a bit more complex. But then I still need to make backups of the important stuff. I kinda use Google Drive for that though it's not really a backup because all local changes are streamed to it. That will suck in the event of a ransomware attack.

LOL

That and why give away their market share? They have people in a stranglehold because of their incopatibilities with other office clients. Just like they did with Internet Explorer.

Damn Microsoft and their proprietary things they add to office documents...

Maybe as far as gaming is concerned but let's not forget everyone else's hard work. Linux has come a long way and is becoming ever more user friendly.

Why are we like this? I too have a habit of losing hoarded data.

Ah so it still is preferable to format secondary storage as ext4 instead of ntfs. Good to know.

Hello, I am friend. I can have usb stick? 🤡

I agree. The game starts off really good. Too bad they made it like this.

I will take your example and just pretend the second part didn't happen.

What I nightmare of a game that was

Oh unskippable cutscenes really are my pet peeve!

I hate stealth. I want to go everywhere guns blazing. This is what ruined the Farcry series for me. Having unskippable stealth sections.

Interesting! Not exactly what I would think of but this seems right up my alley. Thank you!

I am still very much in love with It Came From The Desert.

I liked the point and click games when they were 2d hand drawn and not (3d) rendered. It seems to be a thing that has now been lost to time.

Ah, okay. I guess I missed that or read over it.

I thank you for writing the guide because it's always nice to try different methods of consuming content.
