It started with me manually downloading a mod and shoving the files into the Steam game directly.

Then I installed the windows version of Nexus Mods Manager using Wine and pointed it to the Skyrim in Linux Steam that runs as a Flatpak.

Yes, it is a dumb hack. But it works.

Sorry everyone. Ill try to do better, I promise.

Yes, sorry, I always get them mixed up.

Use Audacity. You can even load all the old Winamp skins.

Finally, a tag for me.

Nice easter egg in the very first level.

How nice is it to have one of the creators of a 30 year old game still release new content for it? Romero rules.

The Windows experience was worse, but at least your raindrops were rendered correctly.

It feels like you used a detail that you could not resolve to go back to the cozy arms of what you are familiar with.

And that’s OK. I also went back to Windows a few times until I felt at home in Linux.

Try it again sometime in the future and see if it fells more comfortable.

Most Linux distributions are quite reliable, even rolling ones. What usually causes instability are the closed source applications people choose to run on them.

I’m not just pointing out nVidia drivers, I’ve seen Teams and Visual Studio Code crash an otherwise stable Ubuntu LTS.

Flatpak Steam works for me. Can’t say I find any difference from native.

Nice. This is why I only buy AMD gear. Support those who support you, people!

I’m kind of partial to the pointy boobs myself, so I guess I’ll stick with the original.

Regarding “cost per megabyte”…

I see your point, but for me it is more important the “entertainment per €/$” factor, and there you can’t beat indie games.

I’ve bought the whole Halo collection… that’s a metric ton of megabytes right there, but I’ve only installed it once and never again. In contrast, I’ve bought Loop Hero (about 200 MB) and haven’t been able to put it down since. That’s a lot more value for money, in my opinion.

I just call that category “Meh.” I also have a special category for those few games that I bought and never worked properly in Linux, but I hope one day will (mostly old DX9 stuff like Hexen II).

That’s nice to know, thank you.

You should get it, it’s a great game.

I just wish I could add more tags to the block list or block specific publishers.

Plays great on Firefox too.

Great work with a very good explanation of the process.

This is the first time I’ve heard about it. Now where am I going to buy the Half-Life T-shirt I never knew I needed?

That’ll probably work. I used an old TP-Link 4 port WiFi router to do it. Flashed OpenWRT on it, set up the WiFi as client and bridged the ethernet ports off the WiFi. It’s not fast, but works.

Nice, I was not expecting that. This is my favorite launcher, it’s sleek, fast and solid. I hope someday they add support for Itch.io and Humble so I can get all my games under one roof.
