+1 for Bazzite. I switched to it last October I think from Windows 11 and have been so pleased. I haven’t needed to go back to Windows at all, all my games have run just fine, which is mostly what I use my computer for anyway. Getting used to rpm-ostree was a little bit of an adjustment for the rare occation I need to manage packages outside of flatpak but I am so happy that I can do everything I need to in this OS.

Tales of Vesperia was always a favorite couch co-op RPG of mine. With the Steam release, you can even play the game remotely with everyone via Steam Remote Play Together. It’s not an MMO, and the exploration is single player, but up to 4 players can control the party members in battle. The only major gripe I have with the Steam version (applies to all versions of the remaster) is that if playing in English, some of the voice work that was added in to the remaster is noticably inconsistent with the original dub, since there was about a 10 year gap between recordings. But if that’s not a deal breaker (can always opt for Japanese audio), I’d definitely suggest it.

I just installed Bazzite about a month ago and love it! Used Ubuntu in the past and it was ok, but eventually went back to Windows. I definitely don’t feel that way about Bazzite though, I think I might stick with it as my primary OS!

I’ve recently gotten hooked on the Yakuza series. The whole series goes on an aggressive sale pretty regularly on Steam. I’d recommend starting with Yakuza 0.

“Petersonian?”

Splatoon 1 on Pretendo! Got my Wii U hooked up earlier this week after the official servers shut down.

It’s sad to see it go. As a game preservationist, being able to back up and emulate your games is so important to me. Not to mention a game like TotK can’t even reach it’s full potential on a retail Switch, and Yuzu allows that game to be played in 4K at 60fps if you have the computing power to drive it. Overall, it was probably the right call for Tropic Haze to give in to Nintendo now rather than battle them (as much as I didn’t want to see Nintendo win this) because a court battle could have challenged emulation as we know it. A settlement avoids that for now. I don’t support piracy at all, but I can’t say it suprises me considering how Nintendo treats its customers and the gaming community as a whole.

Yeah! There was a mini-game called “Chao Adventure” that would let your chao go for a walk with little events that would happen along the way. It was also the only way to see your chao’s stats and name them.

I’m all for the Scott Pilgrim memes
