Starfield also requires an SSD, a first for a modern triple-A PC game.

I recall the same being said about Cyberpunk 2077, and I'm not sure that was the first either.

Your ship is kinda like a player home you bring around with you. Having one that uniquely suits your needs and preferences is cool, and also I want a damn weapon workbench.

It takes less than you think. It's not always windows-easy but a little troubleshooting and googling is usually all it takes. The biggest sticking point is anti-cheat, if the kind of games you like require it.

I'm just being cheeky

FLAC, because you didn't specify what kind of Codec.

God forbid you contextualize this answer in any way, someone here might understand what's being discussed and form an opinion for themselves.

Civilized society abandoned this type of "natural" selection a while back.

I had to look this up. The inventor never trademarked the name and it was used by a competitor almost immediately. He lost a lawsuit over linoleum becoming a generic term 14 years after it's invention. There were other brand names but linoleum became a generic term almost as soon as the product was widespread.

Any solutions for people whose VPNs do not offer port forwarding?

From the point of web infrastructure and standards, they certainly do.

I did the opposite and also can't remember why I did it.

I still need to play Cataclysm. I've heard only great things about it. Fun fact, you don't have to worry about fuel if you don't use strike craft. I'm probably outing myself as a bad player who gets his super-capitals into trouble but I recall multi-gun corvettes making a pretty effective screen.

Homeworld is well worth your time, I haven't played a game quite like it since. People go back and forth on the merits of the remastered edition, as it's mechanically based on HW2 which just never bit me back. Something about being force jumped as soon as objectives completed kept me on the back foot in a way I find not fun.

I think you've got cooler friends than I do.

Much like international waters, its always required a bit of watching out for your own well being.

Maybe this is the use case I'm not understanding. Do many people have servers that they just keep software they're not using on? I mean this makes sense with movies and maybe music, but I feel like I've never heard of this with games and such.

I'm having a very hard time understanding what this does for me that lutris doesn't already.

Look into GPU passthrough. It can be tricky but you can reserve a physical GPU for direct control by a virtualized operating system. If you have two GPUs (or an APU and GPU) you can run that virtual machine as a literal window inside your host operating system. LookingGlass does this with minimal latency by using a shared memory space.

I set up a system to do this but haven't used it much because linux gaming just works and I haven't had to return to using windows-exclusive productivity software. I could be mis-interpreting your use-case entirely, but it might illustrate how much you can accomplish with a virtual machine.

My dude, read the neofetch
