I'm biased , but the name "Dungeons" in the title makes me want NOT play that game.

(Well, not actually, but I still think this is more "Diablo" than "Minecraft").

Works nicely, but I can't start private servers, only public ones. So I ended up playing with some random people which worked out pretty good.

Didn't try it with VR yet.

That helmet with these shoulders and the breast plate... It hurts.

Yes I know it's fantasy, but pseudo-16th century shoulders and a pseudo-15th century breastplate might work, but NEVER with a pseudo-13th century helmet. And the short-sleeved chain-mail is also as stupid as it gets.

The "sword" is also a lot of eye-damage.

Cloudpunk (proton) Which is actually nice and doesn't crash every 30mins like Cyberpunk 2077.

Minecraft Seaopolis mod Progression is quite nice, endgame (last dozen quests) starts to draw and suck.

The numpad isn't that interesting but without properly placed ins/del/home/end/pgup/pgdn and the arrow keys, it's unusable. Even worse: ANSI. I want an ISO return-key (the 180° turned L-shaped one).

The weight is quite ok for its size, I use a Turtle Beach Impact 100 right now, that one is 1250g (and it's great).

VR is absolutely insane, I am officially a convert and it works mostly great on Linux

I'm playing with a Vive Pro, on Linux of course.

My main grievance is room-scale. No I don't want to stand around, I don't have the space for it, I want to play couch-scale. It's not that difficult to allow me to set my height as I want, dammit. And yes, I'm looking at you Half Life Alyx.

Quoting: FeistFor me, the fact that I have 95% of my games on steam and all the various steam services/steam benefits connected to all those games is pretty much a permanent "deal breaker" with any other option/alternative.

I stopped buying (even steam keys) from anywhere else, because I have some 4000(!) games on steam, and I want to know whether I already have a specific game before I buy. So everywhere but steam has become a nuisance; except maybe itch.io where most games are not available on steam anyway.

Brickadia demands I register with them via discord, so far so good, but also wants me to give discord my phone number to be able to put anything into their registration channel.

The Answer is NO to this violation of privacy. Because this is what will happen: https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2021/04/05/facebook-hack-breach-personal-data/9031617634745/ -- This breach was due to somebody _enumerating_ all phone numbers and trying them. Which would of course have been impossible with more random identifiers such as email addresses. But basically, you don't want any web platform to have your phone number.

Isn't that just one of these newer hidden object games? Because they all fit that description.

Yes, the "hidden object" genre has changed, it's much more adventure these days.
