I can’t deal wifh wilty greens either. Lol especially in something like a Ceasar salad. The way it feels really slimey in my mouth and going down just makes me gag. Makes me shudder even thinking about it lol

Well, boomer shooters are going to wind down soon and I’m seeing more of the other types creeping in, like perilous warp, that have that slower pace to them. I imagine the pendulum, while never as soon as we would want, is coming sooner than you might expect.
I was overjoyed seeing a resurgence of fast paced shooters once doom 2016 dropped. And I think it follows that once the fast paced stuff runs its course, the next style to see a resurgence is going to be the halo-likes.

There is definitely a dearth of good FPS that fit that mold. I was a fan of the same kinds growing up. Started on Doom and moved through the whole development of the genre. Stopped enjoying stuff as much when slow shooters and cover shooters became prevalent. Hated Halo for example. It’s ok now, but not a formula I enjoy as much.
Anyways that said, if you are looking for deathmatch without centralized servers, I can’t think of anything recent off the top of my head. There is a lot of good fps single player experiences out there. I liked Hrot for example because it taps in to some of the Quake 1 vibes, but has no multiplayer. Doom 2016 and Eternal were fun single player wise. But their Deathmatch is centralized servers. Turbo Overkill was a lot of fun, but no multiplayer. Same for Wrath, Ion Fury, Ultrakill, Prodeus, stalker 2, and others. There’s a new Painkiller coming out Oct 21 but I think multiplayer will likely be centralized servers since it’s crossplatform.
I can go on listing great games but I am coming up blank on anything matching exactly what you are after. Everything I can come up with has a comprise to it. Sorry man. Hard to find something exaclty like the gold classics like that.

Everything about it really. The texture, the weird spot between firm and soft, the way it’s scent pervades my sinuses and coats my tongue where I can’t get it off. Not a big fan of egg, especially strong egg flavors or runny egg. Don’t care for mayo either. So mixing them together is just a match made in hell for me.
Tuna salad is really spotty for me too. Mostly comes down to whether there is anything besides the tuna and mayo, how much mayo, and whether it was seasoned. Really like tuna on the whole though. Also if making a sandwich with it, it’s gotta be toasted. Lol I’m not super picky normally, but this is one of my few areas where I come across as a bit of a child.

So being specific, you are looking for a local multiplayer FPS? Or are you open to self-hosted dedicated servers as a multiplayer option? Also do you want it to be military or are other gebres ok? Just trying to really narrow it down so I can see if something I know would work.

If you want good FPS, there are tons of really excellent. But I’m getting more that you are after arcadey military FPS.

I wish it’d getca proper remake, with the second half fully fleshed out. I’d even take a remaster with the second disc content fleshed out. Lol

Xenogears. It was a life-changing game for me. The concepts and philosophy it introduced to my teenage brain tangibly altered my world view over time. It broke me out of a mold I didn’t even know I was in. Nothing compares to it for me. As a game, it’s well made, but has it’s share of sticking points. But it did for me something no other game has.
I’ve had similar feelings of wonder and awe in other games but not the same life altering impact to my world view.
In a more light-hearted “omg such game, much amazing, very nostalgia” category though, Doom, Duke Nukem 3D, Quake 1, HL1, Stalker, Morrowind, and Oblivion all hold special places in my memories.
Three more modern games that really brought a sense of wonder to me are Nier Automata, Mirror’s Edge 1, and Outer Wilds.

That was far and away my favorite gameboy game. I think my fastest time in my late teens was something like 2 hours? Maybe longer. Whichever hour marker it was that got you swimsuit samus at the end 😂

Almost all their art in the game was stolen from one artist. They didn’t even do a good job at covering up the blatant theft. Not sure if they’ve fixed anything, but that was a major lawsuit just itching to come out.

Because Linux is open source and each group has a different idea on the direction it should go. They are all linux at their core, but they all have different use cases.
Bazzite and Zorin are both great options for leaving Windows for the first time. Bazzite is generally more gaming focused but Zorin is a better desktop in my limited experience of both. Bazzite for example is more locked up on OS files, so it’s harder to break in some regards. But it also bakes drivers into the image and they only get updated on the next release. Afaik you can’t tinker with the drivers much but I’m not experienced enough to say 100%.

Just because something is big and difficult, doesn’t mean it’s good or fun. I still need to play it to see if I like it, but the reasoning used here is flawed.

I don’t think I can agree that it is equivalent to final fantasy 7. But it still sounds worthwhile.
