I've been meaning to try it out, it's on GamePass, but I worry that it's the kind of game that takes a lot of brainpower to "solve" while also requiring a lot of skill. I can do one or the other but both at once stresses me out! lol

That sounds like the D.C. government alright...

I mean, it was a fun gag, but I really AM excited about glorbo!

a lot of games have added “hundreds” of hours of content by large and relatively empty open worlds that are full of worthless autogenerated side quests and collectible trinkets, which is undoubtedly a worse gameplay experience.

other responsibilities ate into my time and now I don’t remember where I am, what I was doing, and I frankly barely remember how to even play.

This is my biggest issue with long games. I feel like if it's getting too long and I want to try something else, I can't come back to it in the middle and pick up where I left off. I have to either consume the game in one chunk, or accept the fact that I'm never going to finish it... which makes me not even want to start it half the time.

Personally, I really like watching Nilaus play factory games. I enjoy playing the games to a point but he puts forth an amount of effort that I can never bring myself to emulate and it's really satisfying even to just watch. Satisfactory, Tectonica, DSP, etc

Ouch, that sucks. It's not something I've ever heard of happening around here. Tough choice!

Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind! :)

Okay, I'm in. I don't preorder games anymore, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye on day 1 reviews to make sure the game isn't broken so I can buy it right when it comes out!

Yeah, I know it's possible, but I'm not a linux expert and I'd rather leave well enough alone. It works and it's not Windows and that's good enough for me!

My understanding is Nobara is made by GloriousEggroll, which is why it's so good for gaming. It worked really well for me except for the fact that some games didn't like the hybrid Nvidia graphics on my laptop. I ended up swapping to Pop because of that, and everything works like a charm. I'd rather be on Nobara tho. I really don't like Pop's desktop environment.

Oh, obviously Wild Hearts if you haven't tried that yet. I don't know if it has crossplay but it's a newer MH clone with some interesting new mechanics. I found it to be just okay but it might scratch the itch for you.

For me, I've been getting into souls-like games. They scratch a similar itch to MH when it comes to skill-based play. There's a new one coming out in a few days called Remnant 2 that looks to be on the less punishing side. Not sure if it's what you're looking for but worth checking out to see if you haven't heard of it.

Counterpoint: Dauntless kinda sucks. It's made by the Fortnite guys and it feels like a MTX shop with a bad MH clone pasted on the top.

But hey, it's free. Doesn't hurt to check it out and decide for yourself.

IMHO it depends on what kind of gaming you do. For me, I play all the big tentpole AAA games on console. My PC gaming is mostly indy stuff and things that suck on console like 4x strategy games. For my uses, gaming on linux has been... surprisingly good.

I would definitely recommend trying it out with dual boot.

I'm not linux expert. But I have been messing around with it again lately, trying to get it working on my gaming laptop. I was using Nobara for a bit, which I liked quite a bit. It's a Fedora-based distro that's put together by the GloriousEggroll guys so it comes with Nvidia drivers and tons of gaming stuff preinstalled.

I ended up ditching it mainly for one reason: it didn't handle my hybrid graphics well. Some games worked fine, some refused to even start.

I ended up swapping to Pop!_OS because it supports hybrid Nvidia graphics with no issues. The guys who make the distro sell laptops with hybrid graphics so they have incentive to have it work well. All the games that wouldn't start in Nobara work seamlessly in Pop.

I'm not a huge fan of the desktop environment but I'm getting used to it and there's definitely something to be said for everything just working.

League was the poster child for toxic communities a decade or so ago when I played. It must have gotten better (it certainly couldn't have gotten worse!) if this isn't the top comment by a mile.

As someone who played hundreds and thousands of hours of Destiny, it still weirds me out to hear people call "Destiny 2" Destiny. They are very different games.

Destiny 2 is predatorily-monetized garbage. Destiny (the game it was at the time of its untimely murder by money-grubbing assholes, not the game at launch) is one of the best games I've ever played.

Random update: I had to swap to Pop!_OS because some games were having issues with the hybrid graphics on my laptop. I couldn't figure out how to get it working in Nobara but Pop supports hybrid Nvidia graphics (because the company that makes Pop sells laptops with hybrid graphics). It took a little longer to get Pop working as well for me as Nobara was, but so far so good.

I really don't like the desktop environment as much but I've got it working well enough and I'm getting used to it. I don't want to mess with it more, trying to install Wayland and whatever, so I'll stick with what just works.

This is one of those shows that parents and kids can all enjoy for different reasons, so it's on a lot at my house as well.
