i just played Dying Light again after some time since i first played it... i know, there's a new one but this is one of the few games that you can run on linux, and its performance is exceptional

on my new hardware, it barely uses 1/3 of the CPU most of the time and rarely dips below 74fps with vsync on (75hz display), it's smooth as butter to play, it was pretty good on my old MSI bravo gaming laptop but now it might actually induce me to progress some way further in the story

i had a high priority on getting my rig to do all the important things nicely, and i'm really pleased so far, only fly in the ointment is the retardation that is ubuntu kernel metapackages and the mysterious fail of AMD video support on linux kernel 6, a frickin minefield of black screens

Last time I gamed (some 2-3 years) actually like 80%+ of the games ran totally fine on Linux (Slackware Linux with proton). Only problem was competitive servers kicking you because of punk buster 😁

yeah, i don't game that much and i cbf caring about competitive hooey i'm in a good place for both eu and us servers but there is no games that i'd care to play

i did kinda like the latest CoD game but i can live without it

was too heavy for my device at the time, now it's probably smooth af but i'm not giving my money to blizzard/activision/microsoft if i can avoid it... i am remembering correctly right? microsoft bought them out right?

microsoft is the ultimate satan corporation, and its cofounder is his most precious puppet

IDK to be honest, played a lot of arma3 on private servers and plenty of Kerbal Space Program (KSP is really addictive 😂) and a lot of rogue-like games (I like the old school vibe like - when you're dead, you're dead. No old savegame to resume).

But times changed, didn't touch a game for years...
