That’s what this image is from! PCSX2 via the configurator. I use RetroDECK on my Steam Deck.

It runs perfectly! Absolutely perfect. I also use some HD texture packs, replacing the vanilla textures to make it look extra fancy :)

Announcing they’d have native Linux support with a launcher and then never mentioning it again, hoping that everyone would forget?

That feels pretty awful to me, a Linux user. Obviously negated since we have such lovely work as Heroic (the dev of which is a personal friend), but it is the odd strange misstep like this which strikes me as being pretty sad.

Then we have developers never updating their games on GOG. Admittedly not a GOG problem, per se, but they could pressure these developers so that this kind of issue wouldn’t persist. There are SO many games which do this, that the GOG forums have a dedicated thread for this very issue: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/games_that_treat_gog_customers_as_second_class_citizens_v2/page316/?search=second+class At the moment, there are 4,729 replies on that thread.

GOG Galaxy 2.0 is nigh-on-abandoned now, with constant problems. There’s a slew of posts about it on all Reddit, their forum and on social media.

They have their issues. I adore them, but they have their issues.

Thank you!!!

I’d be pretty tempted by Tony Hawk’s, but the recent news that 3+4 will finally be getting remade makes me hesitate to play. Since the experience will probably be better there!

For the plethora of HD textures I’ve found. I know it seems ironic, because of native PC resolutions, but fans have taken texture replacements to a whole other level with these. I just tend to try them out and compare them to the PC version. This was one of the few I found made a significant difference, at least in my eyes.

I’m the exception to gaming, I have maybe 20-ish games on Steam, but '000’s on GOG. I’ve always had a thing for the underdog, maybe that’s what made me focus on them from the start. I just love their platform, and their ethos. They’ll never be a competitor to Steam or Epic Games, but I don’t think they’re trying to be any more.

I just love them!

I do so wish the GOGdb site acted in the same way as the Steam one did:

https://www.gogdb.org/

Instead, it runs in a different way making it far less helpful than, as you said, SteamDB!

You know I was never a car girl…for the most part. But the last 12 months or so I have become obsessed with rally racing: the games, and the history (Group B!). From there I ended up watching general car movies, like Le Mans (or is the title The 24 Hours of Le Mans? I never remember), and finally…yes, just finished watching the original two Fast and Furious movies just last week! I think I like the second one most, it is cringe, but in a fun nice way!

Thank you, this looks perfect!

HEY THAT’S AMAZING!!!

Must be sad to be so in love with a game which seems to be mostly forgotten, but I love her shrine :)

…from what I’ve read and seen in the past, that game can be rather risky on one’s thumbsticks due to all the efforts in making yourself look as amazing as possible.

(sounds worth it, tbh, thanks!)

And I’m a total wuss, too. But after becoming so enamored with the REmakes, I went searching for games to scare me!

Thank you, Timesplitters looks lovely! The art-design of it looks just perfect!

As a purely Linux user, I’m just glad Heroic is around so I have options to play with less problems. Heck, they even have an agreement with GOG themselves where they get a proceed of the purchases made on GOG through a special link, or via Heroic.

GOG has its issues, but as someone dedicated to DRM-free games, and games preservation, they are still my favorite lot to buy games from!

I found it the first RPG-ish I have spammed skip on the dialogue. Which felt odd to me, since I always sink into a RPG (even if this is a action game with RPG elements), but Avowed just felt a bit too surface-deep to me. It might not help that I booted up Kingdom Come Deliverance II around the same time…which reminded me of booting Phantom Liberty when Starfield came out.

It’s a good game, though. Solid, just not for me I think. I much preferred the writing, setting and mechanics (not to mention the atmosphere!) of The Outer Worlds.
