    Black Mesa in Linux

    Black Mesa is modder-built total conversion of Half-Life using the source engine. Anyone who has played a First Person Shooter on PC knows about Half-Life.

    Drakensang Online Guide

    I tried Drakensang Online in Steam today. Had to use Proton 7 and a cursor highlight too, but it worked! My only problem was minimizing and maximizing. Cursor Highlight tool Install via terminal sudo apt-get install xdotool Run in terminal before launching game watch -n 1 'xdotool key space'...

    Hard Copies Games, Linux Mint

    Yes, PlayOnLinux may have some issues as it is no longer supported. I still use it, but sometimes it can be a pain downloading Wine versions and using the Graphical Interface

    Fallout Show

    I'm actually playing Fallout 76 at the moment... along with Borderlands 2, The Witcher 3 and Darksiders Genesis. I know, too many games! I tried to watch "The Wheel of Time" with my wife and I couldn't stand the bad dialog and acting. I couldn't even finish the first season. She continued to...

    Stronghold Legends Steam Edition hacking

    Thanks but until there is a need, I'll pass. Working in IT is complicated enough and testing/playing games in Linux is complicated enough. If I pick up anything else that is complicated, I'll explode! It is nice hearing about your adventures in coding, hacking and experimenting..

    Fallout Show

    Can you believe it??? Amazon is creating a Fallout show... I have mixed feeling because most game to TV productions are pretty awful, but then again Rings of Power was Amazing! Seeing the Trailer makes me think this has been in production for a while... I love what I see so far!

    Stronghold Legends Steam Edition hacking

    I've always wondered something about Steam games. If you modify a game file like you are talking about, does Steam auto-update the file to the original state? Ya know, like when it does a check or game update? I've messed with a few game configuration files to set something not available...

    Hard Copies Games, Linux Mint

    Daerandin is correct! Most Wine can install directly from CD ROM or DVD ROM In the past I've had issues installing games from optical drives, so I would just copy the entire disk contents to a folder on the desktop, then install from there. We have a few examples, but like Daerandin said these...

    What up

    I'm sad to see most gamers migrating to social media and reddit instead of a forum dedicated to gaming, PC or Linux. I like Reddit as well and it really seems to have more commenting than most typical forums. I'm really not sure why? Reddit doesn't offer a lot of formatting or media. Maybe...

    Stronghold Legends Steam Edition hacking

    Wow, hacking a Steam game as a workaround for achievements! Not surprised you would find the tools and provide a solution! I honestly think achievements are just a marketing tool to get more sales. They never really provide any kind of reward, and are typically just silly accomplishments. The...

    Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall Guide

    Thank you! I can't believe how many different ways we can play Daggerfall these days! All thanks to developers who are gamers! If you haven't seen it, check out Daggerfall Unity. Its like a reboot of the original game, but the graphics and controls are better.

    Diablo Immortal in Proton

    Update! My family and I have stopped playing Diablo Immortal because once you get to the level 52 areas in the arctic, it started crashing all the time. All of our instances of Diablo Immortal crashed and we spent more time restarting and rejoining than actual playing. Hopefully there will be...
