Just gave Stellaris a try tonight. I’m hooked. I sunk 9 Hours in already

I really despise the usage of ‘Argument’ here in the title. It does not do the situation justice. As far as i’m aware this wasn’t an Argument. it was entirely one sided. The perpetrator just walked up and started being homophobic before shooting him. It was a murder and to call it anything less is just being dishonest.

Damn. I remember when it came out. When I first heard about it I was in the living room playing Assassins Creed 3 and a YouTuber I was into at the time uploaded a let’s play. Time really flies

I’m using Emudeck on Bazzite with GNOME. It’s an entirely AMD based build.

I was mostly just able to install and go. There were two issues but they’re pretty minor and easy to fix:

1. I had to go into the launch script for Xenia provided by Emudeck to change the proton version used though because it wasn’t compatible with the base version used. But that may have just been a me thing.

2. Xenia has a weird quirk with Xbox Arcade games where you need to reopen and close the emulator too. It’s an intentional feature and I’m not really sure why it does that.

But besides those two things it works flawlessly. I have almost no bugs. I added it to Steam with Steam ROM Manager included with Emudeck and will launch it through that (or I’ll launch Minecraft, and then Xenia because of issue 2). Steam Input works fine and no tearing or graphical issues whatsoever.

Sometimes. I’m also a college student though with a ton of free time so it’s not like I don’t have the free time to play video games. Usually though when I play a game I take a ton of screenshots to just show friends, so I already have them. The tiring part usually comes from busy days like finals or when I’m out of the house all day

I just finished testing it and It worked well. I’d assume you could play the entire game that way but I didn’t test it too long (and the controller for player 1 just sat idle) because it was just me playing.

I ran my school’s D&D club in Highschool. At one point my Grandma came along to watch me and my Siblings while my parents were out of the house for a month and when i told her that i’d need picked up later on certain days for D&D club, she went off on this long rant about how ‘D&D is satanic’ and then something about how ‘Obama eats babies’. To this day i’m literally shocked she believes that junk.

fair enough. I completely forgot he’s attached himself to that until you brought it up

Is this going to turn into our version of that dogelore or whatever it is that Reddit had?

I got curious and searched a little bit to find you an answer. All I can find online is people saying it’s a meme tracing of some porn

I am emulating! I’ll test multiplayer tonight if I can track down another controller. It might interest you as well to know that I’ve heard the PS3 Emulator can do online multiplayer through its Netplay. I haven’t tested that yet (I want to with a friend though)

Nostalgia mostly lol. It’s the version I grew up with and there’s some vibe that the 360 version has that I can’t quite get with older versions of Java (it might just be a placebo though). That I play with controller and it has my favorite version of controller support yet.

I have actually thought about this! I’ve changed the name a couple times before. Usually I have people asking about it the name change though. I’m considering doing it after I reach a year, I might do it sooner though after seeing someone else now after seeing someone else say the same thing.

Yep! It’s missing a lot of services I used regularly, but it’s a community maintained project (and one for a Nintendo console at that so progress is definitely going to be slow) so I get it, but it’s been a lifesaver in the few instances where I can use it with friends

There’s definitely been some days that were rough just because i’d be busy all day that day or just couldn’t decide what to play lol. I think the latter definitely shows in some of my posts where i just kind of spent an hour dicking around in a game with no clear goal. And not to mention i’m a student who’s fortunate enough to not have to pay rent so i have a lot of free time. So don’t be too hard on yourself

Totally, considering that Fable 1 and 3 got one (though i hear Fable 3’s was horrendous and later delisted from steam)

Just your regular reminder lol

I’d suggest Xenia, but with the problems i’ve been having i’m not sure how viable that is, especially if you don’t have a high spec computer

I had an issue a few years ago where Xenia itself just would not work on SteamOS 3 (which is Arch Based IRC). I think i had to fix it by going into the Launch script that Emu Deck made and telling it to use a different version of Proton

I feel your pain lol. I had an old account that was Mojang that was going to give to my siblings last month so they could play modded with me (they have been begging for ages ever since I bought them a Steam Deck for Christmas) and I find out the account is just gone because I didn’t transfer it. I’m pissed about it because that’s 20$ gone.
