I’m hoping the game will be released on GOG as I wouldn’t buy a game I’ve already owned on console on Steam since it wouldn’t be DRM free.

I guess the old one might feel really old if it’s your first Final Fantasy.

Even the remakes feel a bit dated in a way (not graphically).

As long you can still play the old version with your old save, I don’t see the problem.

Although I wonder what the new version introduces…

I might replay FFVII at one point after getting the third episode of the remake. It’d be a nice way to spot the differences in the story…

I guess you’re right and you could also say that I didn’t really own these games since I can’t play them anymore because I don’t have PSPlus anymore.

I don’t have the Playstation plus anymore but I never payed above 70$ and got a lot of free games with it.

Still, it wasn’t worth it to me as I mostly play single player games except some racing sims…

What made you despise Sony? I’ve had a good experience over 5 Playstation generations so far. I would just hope they don’t end up having a monopoly over the console market (exc’uding Nintendo). That’s why I’m happy about the Steam Machine.

I guess the disappearance of a physical Bluray player is gonna make me jump to 100% Linux gaming soon anyway.

As I already have a Playstation 5 for demanding games (and my kids playing Fortnite and Roblox sadly) and a Steam Deck for less demanding games, I really don’t know for sure if I’m gonna get a Steam Machine.

Its price and the way it integrates with my Steam Deck might be a deciding factor.

To be honest, I’m quite happy it isn’t out yet as it’s pushing my FOMO away.

I guess the wise decision would be to buy every game on Playstation physical, sell them and buy them again on Steam Machine 2 instead of getting a Playstation 6. Espace especially because I’m only using the Playstation for racing games (too demanding for the Deck) or exclusives…

I’m also trying to enjoy KDE as everyone is praising it and Gnome lacks a tiny bit of customization.

But I really prefer Gnome and feel really different than everyone on Lemmy.

So yeah a DE is more important than the distro to me.

Apparently a lot of games don’t have DRMs on Steam. The only thing missing is a badge indicating this.

So at least you own these…

Yeah the two last games are really great and I enjoyed them so much on Steam Deck.

Well from what I saw in Gardiner’s review of the video, Linus was encouraging people to use Linux.

Well there is something kind of exciting about running Linux on Apple or Surface hardware once it gets really cheap and isn’t supported anymore.

Of course, if you buy it new, it’s different.

For me, it’s either I get Linux friendly new stuff or dirt cheap Apple/Surface hardware in second/third hand…

Oh yes you’re right, but then let’s say that a lot of great games were published by EA.

I don’t know about clicking, except that with the trackpads I struggle to click correctly, but I think my Steam Deck always restarted in game mode.

I’d have to check again though…

While I share your grippes, I would want to add two different ones:

-Auto saves are great, but not when the game doesn’t allow you to restart a level.

For instance, late in Metro 2033, I had almost no more air to go further. I was lucky enough to just have enough to keep going. Had it not been the case, I’d have probably had to start the game from scratch again as you can’t just restart a level or load a previous « safe » save

-Cross platform saves and achievements

My gaming PC is a Steam Deck, so it doesn’t have much power. That’s why I still buy my demanding games on Playstation 5 with the intent of getting them on Linux in the future. I fully understand, why I’d need to rebuy a copy of these games to play them on PC, but I don’t understand why it’s not possible to share a save between different systems. Same for the linked achievements.

Thanks!

I think you just have to make the jump and install a distro on your computer while accepting that it’s not because you don’t like the first distro that all of them are the same.

Once the first step is done and your old OS isn’t around anymore, you’ll be forced to find something suited to your needs.

Do you plan on installing Linux on your Mac? If it’s Intel based it’s easy, but if it’s an M model your choices are more restricted…

Huge thanks as it seems to have solved the issue🙏🙏

Having music in peertube would be nice, but I think the artist would have to have some kind of paywall or a Patreon…

When working properly, my Go 1 is perfect and I don’t need more power. So I wouldn’t want to get rid of it and would prefer solving the problem.

But, if one day it dies, I would try to find something more Linux friendly, even if using Microsoft or Apple devices to do something they were not designed for is also quite nice😅
