The only game I kinda like on this list is Okami.

"Look at older games where the whole game is active gameplay and you have to be focused the whole time to win."
I can't 😂 We're talking about games where you game during the whole game as relics of an age bygone now?!
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 2 days ago:
I am dual booting Artix and Win 11, and solely gamed on Linux for 2 years before getting into a bunch of games that don't run there, which eventually pushed me to dual boot Win 11.
I'd rather not touch Windows at all though and just hate it any time I have to use it for any reason other than gaming. The flip side is I hated gaming on Linux when I had to use it to play incompatible games.
I'll most likely just wait until my favorite games run on there and move for good. Maybe go for a Steam Deck then too. But RN attempting to go back to gaming on Linux feels like a potential time/money sink for non optimal results, which doesn't make sense when I already have a working setup.

Shows one platinum, one gold, and one silver on my end? Catherine is notorious for being difficult to run on Linux, even the comments on ProtonDB say so… IDK if I can consider that very little tinkering.
Plus, that doesn't include docked performance… I need stable 60FPS docked for fighting games.
Like, I see your point that it's almost there, but going full tilt into gaming on Linux RN still feels like a risky investment for both my time and money when my $400 Windows laptop runs everything OOTB.
One day though.
- Comment on Dave2D - Windows Was The Problem All Along (Lenovo Legion Go Windows 11 vs. SteamOS) 3 days ago:
You joke, but half of my Steam library is incompatible with Steam Deck. Like, I fucking hate Windows, but I'm stuck there for gaming.
- Comment on New Image of Elijah Wood in 'The Toxic Avenger' 5 days ago:
OK, I like how him and Daniel Radcliffe pick cool projects. Yeah, sometimes they back fire, but that's just the nature of taking risk in art.
This is a remake I'm not opposed to, unlike whatever the fuck Disney is doing.

This games sucks anyway. If it's blocked in your country, go play Bayonetta.
- Comment on "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games 2 weeks ago:
I've never spent more than $20 on a game 😂 like ever 😂 CEOs be crazy.

The Plus R community has been begging ArcSys to release the source code for a long time—hopefully, this will push them to reconsider their stance on open source.
- Comment on Tekken 8 replaces their entire balance team after disastrous Season 2 update 2 weeks ago:
This is exactly what fighting games do though. A season is an expansion (new characters) and there typically is a balance patch after a new character drops, then they move on to a new season.
IDK what people who don't play fighting games think a season is, but judging by some comments in this thread, not every one seems to know.
- Comment on Tekken 8 replaces their entire balance team after disastrous Season 2 update 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, this is not applicable to fighting games, not in the past, not now.
In the past: they didn't do live updates because the technology didn't allow it, but they re-released the same game 100 times (See how many versions of Street Fighter 2 exist as an example)
Now: we get one version + balance patches and DLCs, and decent publishers do repackages after every season to make sure the price of the base game + DLC doesn't exceed the initial price mark: typically $60.
- Comment on Who Is ‘Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves’ For? Following Abysmal Sales, SNK's CEO Will Transition to an Advisory Role 2 weeks ago:
I tried the beta… the game is not bad, but trying to turn it into the FGC's Fortnite was a bizarre choice.
If you're trying to make money in the FGC and beyond, go the SF6 route, not whatever this was.
- Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game 2 weeks ago:
Except they did not get review bombed and the article is blindly using the studio head as a source. Go look at the reviews, there actually is a ton of valuable feedback there.
- Comment on Ori studio in crisis: No Rest For The Wicked could be their final game 2 weeks ago:
They're not getting review bombed. Head of the studio is being hyperbolic to get people who like the game to leave positive reviews.
- Comment on I'm looking for the Holy Grail of multiplayer gaming 2 weeks ago:
Fighting games:
1. Endlessly replayable because there's always more to learn.
2. No grinding because there's nothing to grind. - Comment on What is your favorite indie game? 3 weeks ago:
Crimzon Clover: World EXplosion. Top 3 shmups of all-time and best shmup on Steam, IMO.
- Comment on Does the 2 hour refund limit on Steam affect game design? 5 weeks ago:
I agree. Like, you know what's gonna happen if I'm close to the 2-hour limit and haven't decided yet? I'm gonna refund and move on.
- Comment on Rematch - Official Release Date Trailer 5 weeks ago:
I played the open beta. It arrogantly reintroduces gameplay problems PES and FIFA resolved long ago:
- Directional inputs are relative to your constantly moving camera, not your player.
- Camera locks onto the player, not the ball.
- The off-camera ball tracker completely falls apart in scrambles/when the ball is close since you have to stop and play camera operator to know what the hell is happening before deciding what to do.
- Completely ignores motion inputs in favor of situational inputs when performing skills, which severely limits the number of skills you can do. You can essentially do cooler shit in PES2017, never mind any FIFA Street.
- No off-camera teammates tracker.
- No indication which team is in possession off camera.
- No power gauge for passes/shots.
And it does not add anything new in terms of gameplay other than removing fouls, offsides, and throw-ins/corners/goalkicks, which literally was a mode in FIFA98.
Rocket League can get away with some of that because you essentially play with s balloon, not a football; whereas Rematch feels like an awkward version of the 3rd-person camera in PES.
- Comment on Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound – The First Preview 1 month ago:
Happy to see a combo counter. I may be interested if it's an action platformer, not a roguelike or a metroidvania.
- Comment on Rematch - Official Release Date Trailer 1 month ago:
In RL there is an indicator on where the ball is and the ball cam works really well.
And the ball is bigger and slower/more floaty than an actual football—it's neither in this game.
I think the 3rd person perspective and RL-looking field make you think it's RL with people, but it's just PES with the camera set to 3rd person.
FIFA is arcad-y as shit, this is why PES fans hate it. It still looked like shit.
Like, I obviously haven't played the game, so IDK for sure if it's fun or not. You're doing the correct thing saving your judment. All I'm saying is it hasn't shown anything new/revolutionary, and that rubs me off the wrong way.
- Comment on Rematch - Official Release Date Trailer 1 month ago:
Take it from someone who grew up almost exclusively playing PES and FIFA: this looks ass.
Also, PES always had this camera angle? It's fucking horrible. If you control the entire team, you absolutely want the sideline view, not that wonky 3rd person one.
Even if you control one player, it's just much easier to keep up with the constantly moving ball with a much wider angle. You don't want the ball coming from off screen like they show in the clip when the player scores a header—higher likelihood you're gonna fumble the timing, and if you move the camera to track the ball, you may miss the keeper coming out/a defender coming at you.
And what's up with those rules? 😂 They're comically generic.
Unless this game has a ton of cool ideas hiding up its sleeve and not showing it in the trailers for some odd reason, this looks so obnoxiously arrogant and I have no idea what the selling point is, if any.
And let me add: I stopped playing FIFA and PES because they both suck, so I'm literally the target market. But this doesn't remotely look promising. Like, they didn't even solve the animation issuss… players look so stiff and seeing how they receive the ball is jarring.

I promise you when Capcom publishes Viewtiful Joe on Itch.io, I'll buy it there. Now please take your bullshit elsewhere.

Just convenience, really.
You could just let me be and reply with your "I need these games ported to PC" list if you have one. No reason to turn everything into an argument.
