Been playing Monster Hunter World again these past couple of days after getting caught up in the hype for Wilds.
But this time on PS4, so starting from scratch.
I had forgotten how impressive it is, even before getting to Iceborne.

This might just be me, but I always found it incredibly funny when you are looking for tracks, that once you find one, your hunter sniffs it.

It’s like this whole adventure is just a cover to satisfy your monster feet smelling fetish. 😂

@OutofPrintArchive World was an incredible game, and I've been meaning to revisit it for some time. Rise was also good, but World really felt like it opened up the series into something so much bigger. I am betting Wilds will be amazing.

After one year, I finally made it back to my favorite arcade in the world. I played terribly in Mushihimesama, but I still had fun. They had the 1.5 revision on free play!

had a rough start, but it’s in a really good place now and is getting regular content updates. If you’ve ever thought about playing, or going back to the game, now is a great time.

If you play on PC, you can play with me! It’s a win-win situation.

@chgowiz If you’d ever like help with anything, let me know! I need to run more events and daily ops.

I went to Point Pleasant to worship Holy Mothman, but everyone there was hostile. Once we hashed out our differences, I had a sit on their throne. It was definitely built for aesthetics, not comfort.

@chgowiz Scorchbeasts can be rough until you have end game gear and a good build for dealing with them!

Might fuck around and install some mods.

Fedi, what are some of your favorite immersive mods?

Maybe this is a certified hot take, but I've found that games with bullet sponge enemies (like the ones in #Fallout and #Starfield) just bore me to tears now. If you make the game more difficult by increasing enemy hit points by a factor of 10, it makes the weaponry feel worthless.

I really like how #Helldivers2 handles gunplay with armor and weak points. Things just feel more natural I guess. I couldn't even play Starfield without a lethality mod.

Anyone else feel like this, or is it just me?

So last night I tried running Lord of the Rings Online via Proton, which worked great except trying to launch the LotRO Store in game crashed the whole works.

Okay, I’ll try running it with Wine. Followed a 4 year old guide with Lutris and Winetricks. Now the store works, but it’s stuck with dx9, and none of my troubleshooting steps have fixed that. Frustrating.

@chgowiz Proton emulation has gotten insanely good, especially in the last couple of years. But yeah, not quite good enough to replace Windows for most people.

To be fair to Linux though, this game is pretty janky, even in Windows. 😂​

I need recommendations.

I currently have an HP Omen X16 with a 3070 GPU, and I'm wondering which distro would play well with it for gaming? I tried for awhile, but there was a persistent audio crackling issue and doing anything with GPU clocks was a serious challenge.

Are there any other gaming friendly distros that I should check out? Thanks in advance.

We made it to another Friday, friends. I hope you have a great day, wherever you are. It's a 4 day weekend here, and I'm not even on call! I'm hoping to get out and get some sun, and maybe a new book. Some time away from a screen for a change.

A gif from Yakuza Zero. Two Japanese men are dancing in an 80s disco. The man in a white suit has large lapels and sharp features. His dance partner is wearing a dark suit, an eye patch, and has long hair tied in a ponytail. They are dancing on a lighted platform with disco ball sparkels swirling around. Other patrons dance in the background.
