I'm looking at Axiom Verge 2. I just did a cheatyface playthrough of the first one(first playthrough was years ago and no cheatyface).
I also just got introduced to Balatro from a friend and now I really want it lol. I'm a fan of Roguelites but don't play them a great deal(do have like 200 hours in on Isaac) but I used to play poker and also enjoy card games, not so much deck builders. I played Slay the Spire a bit and own it on 2 systems but I'm just not great at those types of games. I figured maybe Balatro is the best of both worlds. What I'd really like to see is a a trick taking mechanic combined with meta-progression but idk how that would look.
Jedi Fallen Order is $4 but just saw yesterday that it's an EA title so that was an easy decision.
Not sure what else to get. I wanna play through New Vegas and also the Mass Effect trilogy a second time but both games are dicey on if they run well on Linux. I don't even know where to begin with modding Bethesda games on Linux in 2024 lol.
Oh shit, you just mentioned my hyperfixation. Or at least, one of them.
I have had success (after a bit of finagling for the 4GB patch and whatnot) with running Viva New Vegas on the Steam Deck, and imagine that if you try to keep a tight control on what you add beyond that and check regularly you'll be fine. Essentially, any mod circa ~2016-2020 or below should be heavily suspicious, and anything from 2010-2016 should be ignored pretty much entirely.
You may have to use a Linux compatible Mod Organizer 2, but just ask questions in the Viva New Vegas discord server if you're unsure, the folks there are very helpful.
Modding has come a long way for New Vegas.
Let me know if you have any questions! I have been modding and remodding New Vegas for a decade at this point
My last Bethesda modding experience was Skyrim and I was dropping mod files directly into the WINE prefix and it(almost) just worked as I recall.
I found this: https://gist.github.com/richardgaywood/e64eeb162062adb501fd3d35add9a0e8 but donno if I wanna get that involved. I sort of wish they had an AppImage like r2ModManager lol. That thing works perfectly fine for games installed via proton. Like I'm impressed with how simple it is.
Can confirm that those are broadly the steps I went through, so yes, it should work if you want to go through with it.
I’ve tried a few different scripts and manual installation, and imo the best solution for modding is to use mo2 through steamtinkerlaunch
Gonna bookmark this too. Never knew this existed but it seems like it fixes a lot of headaches lol.
