I think my next challenge run should be beating the PS3 without reloading. If the game crashes or I clip into a rock I need to start over.

It’s for work

Me too

No.

The man in the photo reminds me a bit of Brutal Moose.

Maybe it’s just the facial hair. I feel like there’s a video of him in a similar stance/outfit

Thank you!

Good point. I had forgotten about disabling network access. I think a majority of the games I paid for work off the idea that if you connect a few times or have a certain amount of plays times you can then play offline. Well the ones that check that is.

Maybe I’ll give this a go. Thanks for the advice

What data would be sent off having Google Play services installed? I get that you can disable certain permissions and can also use profiles.

Ideally I wouldn’t want to use profiles. I could use something like Shelter on a rooted device but that kind of slows down multitasking

Thanks but I’m shooting for as little contact with Google as possible

I’ve tried lucky patcher with a few games with minimal luck. I haven’t tried it with Stardew Valley though so maybe there’s a chance

I feel like the closest you get these days is Only Fans creators.

It doesn’t hurt to be cautious. Trusted sources have occasionally included malicious materials and blindsided users

Thanks for the tip on Drunken Slug registrations being open. Just signed up

I could be wrong but I think there are Lutris install scripts that help with that

One other website I’d check out if you are getting into any obscure/older games that might not have a lot of comments on ProtonDB is the PCGamingWiki. Lots of fixes are listed there

Have you heard of ProtonDB? It rates the current state of games and recommended fixes.

Gaming on Linux has improved a lot over the years. It’s typically only multiplayer games with Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) that you’ll run into major issues with. Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading but I think a lot of Bethesda games have easy work arounds and documentation.

I used to run a Raspberry Pi 4 in the same case for months at a time and didn’t have issues. I’d say you are fine

Similar to the classic joke:

Why did the sperm cross the road?

Because I put on the wrong socks this morning.
