Thanks. I already had my portion of phun.

can we have the creeper back?

Yay!
I am playing this toghether with my kids.

I won’t miss the creeper

I don’t think that’s the job of Valve.
They tried to push Linux gaming a decade ago by providing a Linux distribution optimized for gaming and invited hardware vendors to sell machines with that distri.

At that time a gaming optimized distribution was hardly needed, so they were pioneers at the time.
And they still maintain their SteamOS, although it is only supported on Steam Decks.

But there has so many happened since then. Gaming Hardware is working from Day 1 with Linux. Proton - wich is supported by Valve - is supporting latest games on Linux, mostly from Day 1. At least if the developers don’t actively sabotage it.
As a result we don’t have that one SteamOS distribution which would ultimately put us in dependece from Valve. We have several different gaming optimized distributions that you can use.

It’s great that Valve does so much for Linux gaming, but I don’t want them to manage everything.

I have a coop game with my wife too. We have about 40 hours on our clock too, and we just yet entered the Underdark.
At that pace I expect our game to last for years, because in my “normal” run I am at 170 hours and still have plenty to do.
You can of course do it faster, by lowering diffiCulty (we did) and by just following the main quest. But much fun lies in exploring the world and finding the many secrets.

That’s a great initiative.
I haven’t bought games from big publishers as EA or Ubi for years because of this issue.

I want to add OpenTTD and Battle for Polytopia to the list.
OpenTTD is a free as free can be transport simulation. You have to get used to the controls, but I had some fun with it on my android tablet. Although I prefer to play it on PC.
Battle for Polytopia is a Civilization style game with awesome Voxel graphic for mobile devices. One game in standard mode lasts about an hour. It is free2play in a way that you get the game and the first 3 civilizations for free and can buy additional ones for a small fee. Offline playing is possible and I’ve never seen any ads in it.

Oh, and of course try Gwent.
This is a CCG in the world of The Witcher - known from the books, the games and of course the Netflix series too.
It’s free to play, and very generous to free players. No ads, no pay2win, and you gain ressources to craft your cards very fast.
If you want to see some gameplay: I am streaming it every wednesday on Twitch.

Time for Star Wars season.

Hey mate.
Getting wrecked is no shame at all.
I got absolutely wrecked by the bandits in the ruis too. Then I reloaded, discovered what use an oil keg can be, and won the fight.
Same with the Goblin camp, or the (second) attack on the Grove (which was far easier after moving some objects)
It’s incredible how much easier a fight turns out if you contemplate for half a minute and the restart.
On the other side I decided to not reload, after one of the characters got killed in camp, because opposite to losing a fight, It was my decision to watch the outcome - which was worse.

PS: I am doing it the other way than you did. I started in August alone in balanced mode, and are halfway through act2 by now. And started a co-op playthorugh together with my wife in easy mode two weeks ago.

If you want to avoid the hassle that it takes to set up a Microsoft account you may try Minetest instead of Minecraft.
It’s an free and Open Source reimplementation that needs no Java, and the game mode “Mineclone” is very close to the original.

Regardings RTS I can recommend Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance

I you want to try out a business simulation you may look at OpenTTD which is free (and free of ads) over Steam.

And don’t forget Among Us.

Well.
No one is even using Netflix’ games.
Thay just make sure it will stay so.

So it wound be an option to mark the items as wares, and then move them to a backpack?
Then I could keep the backpack in case I am short of containers.

I still think my method is the more elegant way :)

I’ve seen the option too. Mybe I even tried it. I’m not sure.
But if they stay in inventory they will still clog it. If there was an option to hide items marked as wares, this would help.

Thanks. Will try that.
I thought, “wares” was just a marker but the junk will stay in your inventory as before.

I pick up every piece of junk I can find.

To keep order in my invetory i drag everything I don’t wanna keep into backpacks.
When reaching a trader I just have to sell the full backpack instead of dragging and dropping every single item into the trading panel.

much faster.

Wasn’t this the case with any other Rockstar game before?

I played the Hobbit and Ninjago the Movie together with my kids Both are very cool.
My kids play Lego City on the switch, and have much fun with too.

Well,
especially if he has additional health issues he should go for his vaccine. Of course it’s not a guarantee, but it lowers the risk for a serious illness significantly.

And it’s still not an excuse to stay away from a courtroom.

Just vaccine and all be good.

Yep, the components. I see redstone and switches.
But I don’t know those stones that lift the boat up.

Cool.
Which elemnts did you use? And are they available in Minetest too?
