i only just figured out last night why my vr headset wasn't working on linux. my rx 6600 has an hdmi 2.1 slot. i ordered an hdmi to displayport adapter for like $8 last night so hopefully i can finally get it set up.

lost my minecraft hardcore world i started a couple days ago because mojang in their infinite wisdom decided that you shouldn't be able to block attacks with the shield until a full second has passed. it's a shame, i had an extremely good mining trip with over a full stack of diamonds.

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

i just beat faces of evil and wand of gamelon. they just need a little rework with the controller and physics and they'd be pretty good. kinda wish the bosses were a bit harder though, since they're really just a glorified puzzle/item check.

been a while since i last posted so i'm just gonna say it i'm still stuck on the farewell golden berry in celeste. i can get to the room just before the lock boxes occasionally, but any more than is too hard for me right now.

i hate you steam linux runtime 1.0 for hollow knight

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 27/09/2025

to anyone who's knowledgeable on the quirks of running hollow knight on linux, how in the world do i get these two achievements to register? using proton for mods if it helps

i imagine dark dollars in deltarune would have image_friend's face on it. still haven't figured out what a light world counterpart could be. glitter, maybe?

In Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, Pac-Man would perform a few animations if you idle on the item guide. The one of him knocking on the screen scared me when I was younger, and I wouldn't even touch the game after that. Looking back, it's a silly thing to get scared of.

i did not expect to get the speed completion achievement, i was just trying to 100% steel soul

Hollow Knight's Game Completion screen. Percentage is fading in, and shows 100%. In the bottom left, Steam's notification system is showing two achievements - Steel Heart: Achieve 100% game completion and finish the game in Steel Soul mode; Speed Completion: Achieve 100% game completion and finish the game in under 20 hours

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 22/08/2025

just beat steel soul in hollow knight for the first time

A message from Team Cherry, seen after beating Hollow Knight in Steel Soul mode: "Congratulations! You played skillfully and proved you have a Steel Soul. Thank you for taking the time to explore and conquer the world we built. We'll meet again soon with a new challenge for you..."

so i was playing sml2 archipelago and just learned that linux mint has controller support. accidentally pushed the left stick while tapping the guide button to reset bizhawk, so that's good to know.

trying to redesign the minecraft hud with support for a few mods (overflowing bars, appleskin, and the aether) because the original was never updated for the 1.14 texture update to my knowledge

A mockup hotbar for Minecraft featuring hearts (left to right: Standard, Regenerating, Absorption, Poison, Wither Sickness, Frozen, Overflowing Bars' Health Boost Hearts + Regenerating, and a half heart for The Aether's Life Shard), Armor, and Armor Toughness on the left, and Hunger (with a golden Saturation outline), Mount Health, and Air on the right. The Experience Bar is split up into 7 parts, with the palette taken from the Create Mod's Nugget of Experience item. The selected slot texture uses a Diamond palette.

praying that we get woshua in deltarune chapter 5, even if he's just a one-off character

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Man, I can't wait to see what Chapter 5 has in store in 2026! ...no i will not reveal any spoilers, go play deltarune yourself. ch4's a bit hard tho.

so uh why'd they place the fire and thunder shields here again? you can't go anywhere else, so they're useless and your only choice is the bubble shield

i think it's safe to say that i won't be getting any switch 2 games this lifetime. or at least, not until the switch 2's 7th successor comes out.

hey eggman, how's that 300 iq going?

Sonic Unleashed, Dragon Road Act 2-2 (DLC). An Egg Fighter (right) cannot touch Sonic (laying down, left) despite being less than right in front of the robot. The level's timer shows 2 minutes, 16 seconds, and 41 milliseconds.

I tried visiting the site, and it's asking for a visitor password. Zero clue what it could be. @sega-west.bsky.social @sonic-official.bsky.social Yes, I did try refreshing the page. The entire sega.com domain is like this, but strangely sonicthehedgehog.com isn't.

i tried opening it, but unfortunately running it with wine does nothing. may be out of luck here.

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

a hat in time seems like one of those games that would be perfect for the wiimote. if only i could get the nunchuck working on steam...

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 16/01/2025

I want to say Chaotix, but can't tell if it's underrated or just obscure. I like how the Special Stages in it are one of the first fully 3D Special Stages in the entire franchise, plus the slingshot mechanic caused by building up speed away from the other player is pretty cool.

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 14/01/2025

trying to make a custom gml language definition for xed (linux mint's built-in text editor) since it doesn't come with one. i can see why they didn't bother. i'm not even close to being 1/8th of the way done.

000

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

decided to knock out a contract in a hat in time earlier, i think i'm making good progress. gonna be using peace and tranquility for cruisin' for a bruisin' since i already struggle a lot with ship shape. not sure about seal the deal tho, but it just sounds like boss rush all over again.

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Thanks for sending me this! I have no clue why Google never gives me meaningful results. Unfortunately, this doesn't get me anywhere. Vivecraft doesn't work because it depends on SteamVR, and I can't get that working because it refuses to see my Rift. Envision does display a color on it, though.

000

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

to those who are wondering why i'm insistent on trying to get the index specifically, that's the only vr headset that i know supports linux, given how valve has had a pro-linux standpoint recently (steam deck, steamos, native linux support for source engine games)

000

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 10/01/2025

welp, that's another reason to try and find some source of income. for whatever reason the oculus app doesn't natively support linux, so i kinda have to resort to looking for alternative vr headsets instead of just using my rift cv1. only issue is that the index is out of stock atm.

forgot to mention but i did switch to linux a couple days ago. still installing the programs i had back in windows but i got steam games working.

050

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

i could be wrong but i think it helps if you have your os installed onto a separate partition to begin with?

000

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 06/01/2025

i thought windows 10's end of support date was 2026. it's october 14th 2025. since i should start switching to linux, i want to know what everyone's opinion on linux mint is.

000

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

thinking maybe i should learn vr while playing the create mod. i do have an oculus rift (which i've been forced to use as a microphone) but i've never bothered to actually sit down and play a game in vr.

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

recently found out that unleashed has a 2d version for java-based phones and i could not resist drawing the version of sonic in the goal ring sprites also i beat unleashed, werehog was NOT made for platforming

040

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

so i was just looking for this thing's render from sonic unleashed since i didn't know what it was called, and found this. instantly thought this may be an unintentional daft punk reference.

Sonic Unleashed's Encyclopedia entry for the Red Killer Bee: "The already tricky Killer Bee just got trickier: better, faster and stronger than before."

"(...) trickier: better, faster and stronger (...)"

NARbluebear @narbluebear.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

that would explain why this level was so hard for me
