I remember when Serious Sam games were an indispensable part of hardware benchmark suites. Iconic franchise! Super cool to see a 20-year update.

Think I just felt my joints ache typing that...

Very fond memories of KOTOR, too! I was so amazed I stayed up all night playing it, crashing out at 6 AM because I couldn't stay awake anymore. It *perfectly* captured the vibe of Star Wars.

I regret I never played Daggerfall when it was new :(

How did the battle system work? Not often that I see people specifically cite that kind of mechanic, so it must be interesting!

I suffer similarly. I've also never replayed anything because I, like you, vividly remember story details. Alas!

What is Danganronpa? New to me!

What game do you wish you could re-live as though you were playing it for the 1st time?

Perhaps because the gfx amazed, or it was a genre-defining title, or because it was just what you needed at that time All answers welcome!

Mine is EverQuest. Nothing since has awed me like my first days in EQ.

Always a fun day when /boot, somehow, joins the choir invisible. Chroot and fsck to the rescue. D:

I'm a simple man. If I see someone reviving or modding a VooDoo GPU, I click.

Texas has whole neighborhoods with no sidewalks. It's deranged behavior.

You'll have to brush up on the config syntax and likely rework the whole conf. The config hierarchy has changed a lot this year, especially with v0.50+.

Same. My brain now "thinks" in Linux first. It's been cool to step back and see that develop, and go: "huh, it wasn't always that way..."

My team doesn't handle Panther Lake, buuuut... Yes! That's the plan, for other chips. :)

I switched to Linux full-time in 2021.

At first, I was frustrated by how "involved" it all was. But, after forcing myself to be patient and learn, I've come to admire the involvement. It gives me much greater flexibility to configure, mod, or fix however I want.

Past ~18mos: Arch + Hyprland!

As a full-time Linux user since 2021: no. But it's also never been easier to be a Linux user. Proton is magic. LSFG-VK is magic. DXVK is magic. LibreOffice is truly excellent. Tiled window managers made me realize how much monitor space I was wasting. The journey has been a joy.
