Ive questioned my cisness before, and came the conclusion that bein a dude just fits. i do think itd be cool to be a woman for like a few days but outside of general curiosity bout what itd be like to inhabit a body that isnt my own, im comfortable with what i am and how i am

You've made a point I have never before considered so props to you

So steam is your best bet for gaming on linux overwll. For specific games:

Stellaris - space empire game, grow and manage your fledgling galactic empire with a large amount of flavour to change playthru to playthru. From being peace loving spacegoats to horrible all consuming bugs, its up to you.

Civilization series - similar idea to Stellaris but taking control of various famous world leaders to grow a nation state

Rimworld - its the Sims but you can commit warcrimes. Colony management game. Take control of 1 - 5 'pawns' and try to survive in the harsh wilderness as long as you can

Factorio - build a factory. start as one person with a pickax and slowly build things to automate things so you can automate more things. The factory MUST grow.

Terraria - sandbox side scrolling adventure game. Hunt down monsters, ore and loot to craft better weapons and armor. invite local townsfolk into your well crafted box huts and create a little village

Counter strike 2 - premier clicking heads simulator. Very competitive fps game but even if your new just play a little death match to get used to shooting and moving, then jump right into competative. Tons of idiots but dw about toxic fucks. Mute them and have fun shooting people

Old school runescape - sandbox mmorpg. Start as a useless nobody, level skills by clicking till you have carpel tunnel syndrome and wonder where the last 1000hrs of your life went.

Kenshi - sandbox RTS/RPG game. Wander the desert, get attacked by a wandering pack of dogs and get patched up and captured by wandering slavers. Attempt a dramatic escape and lose an arm. Steal a prosthetic robot arm and run for the hills. Gather some followers and start a base. Then liberate the slaves from the slave colony you used to belong to

Deadcells - action side scrolling roguelike. You get one life to attempt to slay the hand of the king. 100s of different weapons and layout changes each attempt. Use a frying pan to smack the shit outta baddies or a giant broadsword to cleave them in half

Stardew valley - comfy relaxing farming Sim. take over your grandfather's neglected farm. Grow crops, raise animals and become friends with the local towns folk. Argue with the broader stardew community about who the best person to marry is

Portal 1/2 - certified classic puzzle games. Shoot portals, solve puzzle and make the machine intelligence progressively angrier

Half life 1/2 - classic fps games that set the stage for storytelling in modern fps game. Recommend black mesa for HL1 over the og version

BioShock 1 - fps storytelling at its arguably peak form. Would you kindly play this game?

Disco elysium - unorthodox RPG game. Solve a murder mystery as a cop with no memory. Actually a novel in disguise with fantastic voice acting

Metro 2033/34 - another contender for fps storytelling at its finest. Can you save the people from the menace plaguing the Moscow metro stations?

Minecraft - THE sandbox survival game. Dig some tunnels, build a castle. Slay hordes of zombies, farm some pigs and wheat. Its been popular for a decade+ for good reason.

Dota2 - I dont play this myself but you said addictive and plenty of people have dumped 1000s of hours into this game. I'd say league of legends but that requires more effort to play on linux

All I can think of rn, besides dota all of these games have eaten 100+ hrs of my life at some point or another. These titles broadly cover my own taste in video games so I hope you find 1 or 2 to your own liking

You will take my overly sugary caffeine water treats from my cold dead hands

I've only ever pirated nintendo titles, life time nintendo boycotter. i was never going to buy a console to play 4 different game franchises no matter how fun those 4 games might be

Good. AAA games have been trash for more then a decade now

Songs of Conquest is a pretty decent heroes of might n magic clone. Im not too big on these styles of games but i did end up dumping 20hrs into this game

I think bill burr said it best, so I do my best to never wear suits

Ah I remember learning about the meth and supposed meth commies forever ago, I never learned what caused the split between the two meth factions but the idea of a minor meth civil war kills me. Both subs are a lil unhinged but a fun trip to visit if you ever needed verification that you ain't that fucked up.

Now don't mind me, gonna take a vid of me smokin a 1g crystal with trance in the background for internet points

So first off if you cant afford games, just pirate em. Dbzer0 Lemmy instance has lots of good info for doing this. Though you'll have to learn how to set up wine n stuff via lutris to install windows games on linux. If youre concerned about legal implications around piracy, I'll get hate for this, but just limit seeding speeds to 0. Seeding is the illegal part for torrents as its the sharing of the files to others

Most of the oldschool crpgs like baulders gate 1 & 2, Icewind dale and plane scape torment should run more then fine

Factorio and rimworld should play well enough until you get into late game bases

All of the older valve titles are a good time half-life 1 & 2, portal 1 & 2 and they arnt overly demanding on hardware

For a sorta free game, old school runescape is a fun time waster and its possible to get membership via in game gold farming in f2p

Dusk and Amid evil are two very fun boomershooters that should run well enough I would think

Terraria is very fun and isn't very demanding on hardware

Could also download an nes/SNES/n64 emulator and pirate Roms for all the og Nintendo games but I'd only recommend those if you have a controller of some kind

Dwarf fortress is free but the free version is a little bit of a nightmare to understand visually, the forums have info on how to download tilesets and stuff to make it more user friendly. Though this is another game that will suffer from late game slowdown

I can't think of any other games I'd recommend atm but hoist the sails high my friend. Its how I got 99% of my games growing up

I think its due to two things, the obscene physical power difference between the sexes on avg and the perceived notion of men are always going to consent to sexual relations. Personally, I'm a 6ft 280lbs man with an extensive history in powerlifting and strongman activities and the idea that the avg women could force me into unwanted situations would generally be considered an absurdity

From personal experience I can say yes lol. I had a lady SA my feet in the middle of a Xmas work party. I'll spare the details but there was plenty of witness' and she gained the nickname toes at work. She ended up quiting not too long afterwords

Pineapple, pepperoni with spicy tomato sauce is how I roll. Its so good

I can think of a few that fit the billing; Doom 2, Diablo 2, Portal 2, L4D2, Civ2. I think those franchises all managed to take the original concept and actually improve upon it. There's probably more but those are the ones I could think of

I am now dead as ive been instagibbed by a wall. Pretty good overall

The only reason I want to upgrade my 8+ year old rig is so I can play rimworld and factorio with an absurd amount of mods without crashing or 40m loading times. But I can't afford it so I just suffer them

Truely a rule 34 moment

I didn't let the based god fuck my bitch for this smh

I don't think they are, I was lookin around to see if I could get one and even hueweis website in Canada doesn't acknowledge that they even sell phones. All their other products sure just not phones

Ahhh yeah i can see that being more then a lil frustrating. Tyvm for the heads up though
