I played a lot of TetriNET and Subspace Continuum with my old online community. Great times.
More detail edit:
TetriNET walked so Tetris 99 could run. Version 1 does not install on Windows anymore (but has a Linux version). Version 2 works, complete with its archaic user registration that asks for too many details.
Continuum is a large PvP arena Asteroids-like 2D space shooter. It's on Steam now. Starts tough to control and with a high skill ceiling, so be wary of the veterans. The Death Star Battle map is a blast with a big group. It feels like trying to speed through a narrow maze on bumper boats during a huge battle.
Haha, I would never do that to myself. I just get a quick glimpse of the bare 'net when I try the web browser built into Steam. My DNS is mostly filtering telemetry right now, while I leave the bulk of the blocking to uBlock Origin.
I've had issues on stock x11 PopOS using nvidia. Decent fps, but bigger drops and frametime consistency seemed horrible. I have to turn off my (mismatched) 2nd monitor for my proper refresh rate to work, but it still looked very microstuttery. I miss VRR, but I think there's a bigger underlying issue than vsync/VRR not working. Haven't tried Wayland yet.
I tried setting the tracking protection to standard and it worked. Switched it back to strict and it still works. Weird! Must have been broken for a short period. Thanks for the response! I gotta see if I can delete this post now.
I stream it to my car when I remember to. I miss Washington and its' radio.
