My top four on steam are:

• Garry's mod - 2800 hours
• CS:GO (CS2 now) - 2100 hours
• Terraria - 1000 hours
• Team Fortress 2 - 555 hours

The next season was announced in December of 2023 and it’s changing studio to Wit Studio, so hopefully they do a good job of it. I’ve rewatched it and it’s great for being both relaxing and engaging at the same time, planning to read the light novel at some point.

Same over here :)

Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10 -> Fedora Workstation -> Fedora Silverblue -> NixOS

Game was fun and had a lot of potential, it’s a shame it didn’t get popular enough.

You can still get the Retroarch Citra core if that works for you.

• Re-Logic

I don’t use the Flatpak, but for me the rpc doesn’t seem to work for Steam games, it seems to work for everything else that supports it though.

They’re great on certain desktops, like Fedora’s Atomic Desktops, but you usually have to work around Flatpak specific issues. On NixOS there doesn’t seem to be a declarative way to install them.

I’m a dev, but not a game dev, and I think that open source games that are popular are more likely to stay around, even if the original dev team stops working on it as it can be forked, which is pretty awesome for longevity. Also other “real” open source games: osu! and Veloren.

And all the fears you hold so dear
