Quoting: fabertaweSeeing as I just got Doom II in the Fanatical bundle, I'll try this out, cheers
if you have the newest doom games (2016, eternal, maybe doom 3 bfg has it), then you have full doom 1-2 wads provided with the game, so you are a legit owner of them already

I have Doom 2016 (not installed), so are you saying these are installed in that game's folder? Why would they provide the old WADs?
in doom eternal you can play doom 1 and 2 inside the main game. not sure about 2016 though, maybe I am mistaken, and only eternal has wads.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

Quoting: EschguyIt's tempting, but I wish we could at least look through the pool of potential games...
I rarely buy games these days as I have such a backlog and I'm usually playing Valheim anyway but I was intrigued by the "lottery" aspect. They say a fool and his money are soon parted

So I went for the 10 egg bundle and ended up with three games I might eventually play - Fallout 3, Doom II and The Wild Eight (not that I've checked whether they're Proton playable. And I played Doom II back in the day). The top tier game was "Dead Island Definitive Edition", which I already have. Another six I have no interest in.

If anyone wants to swap keys for Dead Island Definitive Edition, Blazing Sails: Pirate Battle Royale, Home Sweet Home, Slime-san, Chess Ultra, oO or Crumble then PM me!

p.s. I love chess but Chess Ultra doesn't even have a top down 2d view, which is the only way I can play on a screen.

The pet shop was out of kittens for my new bazooka so I've installed this instead. Good clean fun for all the family.

MangoHud performance overlay gets a few needed fixes in v0.6.9-1

Horizontal "position" "center" options still don't work unfortunately.

Valheim is getting extensive difficulty options including a creative mode

I'm all for options! Personally, I may lower "Death Penalty" and "Raid Rate", otherwise it's business as usual for me. Saying that, my current seed still has Eikthyr undefeated as I don't like any raids. My previous seed has all bosses defeated

MangoHud performance overlay version v0.6.9 is out now as a nice update

I believe "position: bottom_center" should use "-" instead of "_". I've found the "center" options haven't worked for a little while using a horizontal bar, I get it positioned on the left with a full background bar [bug].

If anyone has this working then please share their config!

Same. That was how I got started with Linux, and then a category of portables that I particularly liked* went away far too soon.

*I'm a portables enthusiast across the board, and affordable mini laptops were a fab idea for so many use-cases.

My original EeePC is 16 years old and still going strong! I put Ubuntu on it as soon as I had it though. It was used for years (daily, up until a couple of years ago) as my daughter's media centre (with Arch) and never a problem with the hardware failing, surprisingly.
