I don't know what your problem is I don't have access to your device. I just know your issues aren't the norm and are 100% on your end. Like you are just doing something wrong, idk what else to tell you.

I know for a fact Eden has been playable on Linux for over 6 years cos when I was trying it 2 years ago the posts helping me troubleshoot were 4 years old.

Maybe your drivers are messed up, your partition is running in the wrong format, you're running some obscure hardware or software setup but something is wrong. Most of the things you're saying do not work should be plug and play with current drivers and compatibility layer.

Wine/Proton does just work with pretty much every game though, it works better with old games than new game usually. I play FFXI private servers and a lot of obscure windows games just fine with no real issue. You are doing something wrong.

This might be real stupid but one of my favourite series having a gay lead genuinely made me tear up.

Good lord, Seven Havens is off to a fantastic start.

My new conspiracy theory is that delivery companies are in collusion with Ring to force people into using smart doorbells. There ain't no way so many delivery drivers just naturally opt not to knock or ring the bell.

Split between A and D personally. I love the simplicity of A but there's something really warm about D.

I think there's a point where it's unreasonable to expect games to still be optimized for your hardware.

Apparently the new Deadlock update made the game not run well for some people, really? Some people say their performance was already meh before the patch. Deadlock, even now post update, is not that intensive at all? Are people gaming on netbooks?

Zastier @zastier.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Sometimes when I see people complain about performance issues I raise an eyebrow because like, how bad is your PC?

Zastier @zastier.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Ah, not seen many posts about the game

Zastier @zastier.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

People are so impatient with knocking nowadays. Like I need the time to get up, walk downstairs, reach the door, but people will be half way to leaving before I even manage to walk downstairs.

What's happening right now is a bunch of companies that put way too many resources into this shit desperately clawing at straws to prolong the collapse for as long as they can.

Zastier @zastier.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

But that's not what's gonna happen. The thing is the AI bubble already popped, everyone already realised it doesn't provide value. The economy is already seeing these effects.

100

Zastier @zastier.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I think a lot of people expect that when the AI bubble pops it'll be this huge blow up followed by lowered prices.

Okay but saying "We cannot give you a gay option because it would change Persona 4 into a different game" is objectively a hilarious statement.

Zastier @zastier.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I cannot believe the Quest 3 remains the only viable headset to buy if you wanna get into VR at an affordable pricepoint. Insane.

It's like Blizzard genuinely think what people miss is the grind and the worse QoL, and not the people that made old MMOs into communities.

000

Constantly running into the same people was magical and made those private servers way more fun. Shoving everyone onto one huge mega server in Forever ruins the point.

100

It was the fact that levelling you'd run across players, then you'd see those same players later, as you both progressed. That you'd go into zones and find the same people doing the same things as you, randomly partying up to do quests in party zones.

100

The appeal of classic WoW, the thing that made servers like Epoch or TWoW so fun was the community. It was the fact that you would go to a spot and see a guy fishing, that you would see that guy over and over, that you'd randomly chat to that guy and maybe even become friends.

100

I cannot believe Blizzard took down all the private servers who got it, and then put out their own server that very outwardly does not get it.

100

We all know their backend would implode if they tried to shove 7 versions of each class into the game.

030

WoW is straight up a different game now than when it launched.

120

The thing is FFXIV hasn't really changed that much, all old content is still available and playable, combat hasn't really changed much at all, you would just be getting different balancing for the most part.

130

WoW Forever is as if they took 2.0 and never went past it, mechanically, but designed new content around it. Say, instead of going in the Hydaelyn plotline, it had a brand new direction for the story. Not the cleanest analogy cos these games are very different but that's the idea.

040

In Final Fantasy terms: WoW Classic is as if they took 2.0 and ran it as it's own server. Then regularly released new servers for each expansion with the option to stay on the old server or move to then new one. Sometimes running events adding remixed old content.

130

I do not really trust Blizzard to do WoW Classic+ well, but I will be there to give it a go.

000

i love that you can tell that the series aesthetic shifted dramatically between FF6 and FF7

060

oi you got a loicense for that moite?

It's kinda insane to me that they can look at rates of disability going up and their response isn't asking why are people struggling more, and instead to say they should just suck it up rather than seek support.

110

Every single comparison I see is the same, it takes a visually unique game and turns it into grey slop. Faces that have way too much detail, environments that blend together because of how busy they end up looking. It is literal slop.

000

The average gamer has absolutely no taste. It's crazy. They would rather strip a game from all visual flair and deliberate design just to have it look a bit more like real life.

Zastier @zastier.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The existence of ReShade already made me aware people have no actual aesthetic sense, but holy shit the fact that there exist people who genuinely think DLSS 5 makes games look better is insane.

Surely New York City right?

I genuinely cannot believe AliExpress somehow managed to fuck up my address each time I order. I have changed it so many times, and each time their stupid ass address form just decides what I input is incorrect and tries to "fix it"

When people talk about british food they always talk about like beans on toast, and never about scones, tea cakes or roasts.
