I honestly can't believe some people are still so backwards they think shooters aren't for women.

A lot of women I know play shooters, and they're also way better than me ๐Ÿ’€

Games are for everyone.

Gaming is for everyone
War Thunder is for those who hate themselves.

@gamingonlinux Agreed!! Some of my fav shooters: The Darkness, Borderlands series (esp 2), Mass Effect series, Fallout series (esp New Vegas), BioShock series (esp Infinite), Halo series (esp ODST), & the original Prey.

I also enjoy a bunch of on-rail shooters like the House Of The Dead games and Jurassic Park Arcade! Oh!! And The American Dream (VR)!

I donโ€™t eff with PvP. Iโ€™m a co-op gal (unless itโ€™s a โ€œparty gameโ€โ€ฆ or halo on the couch with the fam๐Ÿ’–). Usually story and writing are ๐Ÿ‘‘ for me.

@gamingonlinux Yeah, that's a very backwards way of looking at things. I also wish that more game companies would realize that those women like co-op shooters, especially couch co-op shooters.

I don't know how many guys have played Army of Two with their Significant Other, Sister, Mom, daughter, etc.

Army of Two (especially couch co op) was very popular with women. If they kept the series going and made playable female characters, it would've been more of a success, imo.

@gamingonlinux I tried running Linux on mine. Unfortunately it does not boot from microSD so you can't install an OS to the card. I booted it from USB instead and WiFi doesn't currently work. I want to eventually get a bigger SSD to put Linux on but I'm not done with my reverse engineering on the Windows side yet. Other than WiFi, the rest of the hardware seems well supported at least.

@gamingonlinux It would be interesting to see a video on making the ROG Ally as close to a Steam Deck as possible and then compare the game performance in Linux.

Otherwise, I was kind of disappointed the ROG Ally decided to go with Windows instead of adding to the Linux gaming ecosystem.

@gamingonlinux this sounds amazing, get rid of all the season passes!

JDS

@gamingonlinux Interesting, I guess they did the math and they must get more return on direct cosmetic sales comparing the cost of asset creation across both systems.

@gamingonlinux Tbh this leaves me muuuch more interested in learning to play. (Typically I try to avoid things prone to inflicting FoMO-brain-rot.)

Though I'd still need to learn to deal with the toxicity ๐Ÿ˜… (going off prior attempts, Dota's VoIP is a *colourful!* experience as a gal.)

@gamingonlinux RetroDECK is my emulator suite of choice. I'm reading the patch notes and it sounds like there's a setting that won't make Ninty games swap my A-B buttons? Can anyone confirm because that would be amazing to not have to switch controller profiles every time.
