Some of these I haven’t watched in a while, so the order could be different after rewatching them:
I like drama and slice of life the most.
I haven’t seen a blatant cheater / bot ever since they did the update that banned a ton of them. They used to be in every single casual match and I would have to join a community server.
Started with Gnome, then i3, Hyprland and now Sway. Gnome not being designed around customisability made me switch to i3. Hyprland has had some stability issues and regressions that annoyed me and so I switched to Sway. Thinking of trying out river at some point.
I like boomer shooters and immersive sims, so I picked up Selaco and Fallen Aces. Both are good so far. Selaco has some maze-like levels that can be a bit annoying, but the gunplay is very fun and the level of polish and detail is very high. Fallen Aces is awesome for the amount of ways it gives you to deal with the goons.
Half-Life and Half-Life 2 have plenty of really good mods if you are interested in those, Black Mesa started as just a mod as well.
Some of my favourites for HL2:
Some of my favourites for HL1:
There are many more that I haven’t mentioned / played myself.
My top four on steam are:
The next season was announced in December of 2023 and it’s changing studio to Wit Studio, so hopefully they do a good job of it. I’ve rewatched it and it’s great for being both relaxing and engaging at the same time, planning to read the light novel at some point.
Re:ZERO or Ascendance of a Bookworm (underrated in my opinion).
Same over here :)
Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 -> Fedora Workstation -> Fedora Silverblue -> NixOS
Game was fun and had a lot of potential, it’s a shame it didn’t get popular enough.
I don’t use the Flatpak, but for me the rpc doesn’t seem to work for Steam games, it seems to work for everything else that supports it though.
They’re great on certain desktops, like Fedora’s Atomic Desktops, but you usually have to work around Flatpak specific issues. On NixOS there doesn’t seem to be a declarative way to install them.
Have you tried Open Tablet Driver (if your tablet is supported)? I use it on Wayland and it works perfectly for me, but I’m not an artist and I only use it to play osu!.
Steam DB is useful for steam related stuff.
By highly configurable, I meant that you can configure it exactly to your needs, in the same way that you can with Arch.
I use NixOS for University and would highly recommend it if you want a highly configurable system that’s declarative, however, NixOS doesn’t have great documentation for certain features and usually does things differently, so you’ll have to learn the Nix way of doing things. On the plus side, I’ve never been unable to fix my OS when it broke, you simply rollback, or if there isn’t a suitable rollback, you can plug in a live usb and set the system to use a specific commit (can’t remember the exact command for this and that’s presuming you store your config with git). Also according to these statistics nixpkgs has more packages than the AUR.
Based Chihayafuru, shame that it seems to have stopped like half way through the manga.
