I have a dirty peasant Windows 7 SDD that I boot to whenever I need to play cancer. I also have a Switch, a 3DS, and a Vita. On Linux I play dwarf fortress and Morrowind via openMW.
Thinking of getting a shiny new used Thinkpad so I can play Japanese VN's in bed.

An eternal issue with WINE, where every single video game in existence, but particularly the Japanese ones, all need MPEG-1/2 decoding ability that it can't provide.
There's a lot of confusion over whether the issue's been solved with user's particular setups, whether the issue lies with WINE itself, gstreamer, or winegstreamer, whether the bug is actually important at all (it is, some games actually play MPEG video constantly for stuff like animated text cursors or character animations rendering most video games completely unplayable, but particularly the Japanese ones), and how they should solve the issue. It's all pretty terrible. Fixing this issue would solve so many bugs at once, and for 12 years nobody's done it. I wouldn't fault anybody for thinking that running their games in a VM would be a better idea.
lolwut
i have some old consoles that i can use if i ever want to play something. a windows vm would be the only way to run proprietary games on my computers because wine does not work properly on this distro
it should have got you thinking why aren't you posting in >>>/g/ ?
>>>/v/ is for vidya newfag
HOLY FUCKING SHIT
Has this board been completely taken over by newfa/g/ refugees? There is an entire other board >>>/lv/ for this discussion. Go the fuck there.
i use gentoo linux and im hella games
I tried WINE on Ubuntu a few months ago. Most of my games ran like shit in WINE. They work, but at 1/2 to 1/3 the fps. I tried changing/updating video drivers and messing with settings but it only made things worse.

Dead board.
On the off chance I play a game (my last session was in February) it's one of the following:
Xonotic
SuperTuxKart
Minecraft
Sonic Colours (via Dolphin)
Sonic and The Black Knight (via Dolphin)
Tony Hawk's Pro Skate 4 (via PCSX2)
Half-Life 2
Pretty much everything post 2014 is laced with DLC and pay to win, I don't even bother keeping up with vidya anymore.
I'll probably play a little more after I get carpal tunnel surgery, but I mostly get my enjoyment from programming, I'll try and get one in at least every month so I don't keep burning out on programming
That's cus you probably weren't using DXVK. Just use Proton, it doesn't have these issues.
