  • On top of what the other person said, Lutris allows you to install windows games very easily in like 3 steps.

    You click the + in Lutris, and then click either “Install a Windows game from an executable” if it’s an installer, or click “Add locally installed game” if it’s not. In this case it’s an installer, so you’d click the former. It’ll then ask you to give the game a name, where you want it installed, and then where the downloaded file is. Then the standard windows installer will pop up.

    At that point the game will be installed, and you can right click it in Lutris to play around with settings if you’d like. Notably, you can change things like the wine/proton version in the “Runner options” tab.






  • I’m more of a “grab everything and get rid of the stuff I don’t like next time I play” kind of person. There’s just too much DLC to look through for me to really find what I like, figure out how their systems work with each other and actually feel to play, etc… I’d rather just experience it first hand. Though I will say that if I like a DLC enough and it doesn’t cost too much, I’ll buy it. I think I’ve done that with Nemesis and Utopia so far.







  • Xbox fucked itself when it released the 360. It’s a cool name and all, but where do you go from there? They can’t back out and name the next one the Xbox 3 because that’s just a downgrade to 360 both audibly and visually. The Xbox 720 like plenty of people thought? That one’s honestly not bad, but at this point you’ve only kicked the can down the road. Because the Xbox 1080 or 1440 doesn’t sound nearly as good.

    I can’t tell if they were just scared to have the “Xbox 2” compete with the “PlayStation 3”, or if it was just MS not knowing how to name a damn product.




  • I didn’t care for Rivals too much because none of the characters really clicked with me, the shark’s ult was total bullshit imo, and there were far too many characters that spent the entire game just flying in the air.

    Overwatch has a few characters I really enjoy playing in each role, doesn’t really have any crazy ults like Rivals, and only one character (the newly added cat) spends the entire game in the air.

    Overwatch is probably in the best state it’s been in since launch, but only if you’re not susceptible to FOMO. Because holy hell do they abuse FOMO at every opportunity with absurdly expensive character skins, that shit’s their bread and butter. Like, don’t want to buy the $10 battlepass? Oh well, that’s one more mythic skin (the game’s highest quality, customizable skins) you’ll never get. Want to get one of those skins at a later point? That’ll cost you 80 fucking dollars. 100+ if you want any of the fancy colors. Should have bought the battlepass.

    But yeah, monetization and FOMO aside, Overwatch is pretty fun right now.
