If you self host your own Geyser server, you can join via bedrock.

Sonic Adventure 2's problem is that it didn't have enough speed character stages. iirc, the dark side story only had three shadow stages and that's it, the rest were either the "meh" eggman stages or the god awful emerald shard stages.

The hero side story wasn't as bad since it had more sonic stages, but only barely.

I can go back to SA1 quite a bit, because despite the jankiness, the stages are really fun and you can tackle them in many different ways like you could with the Genesis games.

I mean, it would work, but you would be better off power-wise, price-wise, and performance-wise, going with a used office PC such as Optiplex.

KDE Plasma 5.

It's default on Slackware =P

Please tell you to at least have Freexian patches installed...

Warehouse worker who self hosts stuff here.

It all started when I was a teenager and I lost access to my photobucket account...

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a looooong time.

Well, this is the PC Gaming lemmy community, so I'm just talking about PC

There's a pretty big difference between "Selling the exact same binaries on different stores" and "Supporting a whole different OS with it's own alien ecosystem" =P

In the case of store fronts, we're talking about more sales (even if it's extremely low) that literally take 0 effort to do.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned here already, is that the game is only on Steam. Which limits the customer base to Steam, yes it's a massive audience but they're missing out on free sales by not listing it on places like GOG, Itch.io, Gamejolt, etc

Oi

Only for 3rd party repos, but for main updates, I use slackpkg since it automatically prompts me for updating configs and all that.

KDE was an example, but a lot of other things come out of the box with Slackware. And of course, that package isn't a thing that comes out of the box.

Regular Slackware user here.

The biggest reason I use Slackware personally is that it's the only distro I'd consider a "full system" out of the box. What that means, is that I install it, and I don't really install much outside of the repos.

For example, the kde set comes with pretty much every KDE app. I do mean all of them. With other distros, I either have to go hunting for what packages are named what in the repos and spend hours getting everything setup and installed. While on Slackware, I pick the partitions, install, and I have a full desktop with everything I could possibly need.

Some would say "Oh, but that would take a lot of disk space.", and funny thing about that, is with BTRFS compressio enabled. A full install of Slackware is only 4gb =P

Legacy Support for old Automation Scripts (Script expecting to press e rather than m)

If you go down the VPS route, a headscale server on a cheap $3.50 VPS would be the way to go. Wouldn't even have to deal with IP addresses at that point, while still being able to self-host all your services, with the cheap VPS being a glorified switch/firewall.

I bought it back when it was in early access. The main hate is how long it took to develop, and how many bugs it has/had.

The most recent time I played it, about a year and a half ago. You were able to wheely a motorcycle up a skyscraper. Zombies would randomly clip through things, the physics would bug out and loot on the ground would kill you from nudging it, sometimes you were able to just ride through buildings, and the multiplayer lag was abysmal. Just to name a few things.

I could go on, but for a game that's been in development for 10 years, it barely shows it.
