I’m fairly sure when you load it up with that dlc active, it warns you that it will be significantly more difficult.

Yeah, it is much weaker

What’s the original version?

Flatpak solves some of these. It would allow newer software on Debian. They’re packaged with codecs, so you don’t need to bother with Packman on Tumbleweed.

And likely this doesn’t either. It’s probably “technically playable”.

Roblox will not work. The developers are actively preventing it from working in Linux.

Those other games should. If you don’t mind to tinker a bit to make sure they’re set up properly, then your son should be able to just launch them from Bottles or Lutris or whatever you set up as a games launcher.

I don’t know about Sims. I have a pirated copy of Sims 3 working just fine though.

Send the disc to activision and tell them you need a replacement for this damaged disc. Just to see how it plays out at least.

My thoughts on the series:

I used to play the DOS version of NFS1, and it was a blast at the time, but it’s outshined as new games came along.

NFS2se - I only had the demo, but it looked amazing showing off the 3dfx cards. If you play this one, it’s so janky. Absolutely horrendous driving physics, and looking back it was all flash over gameplay.

NFS3 Hit Pursuit. My friend got this for Windows as a “send in a coupon get a free game” deal. So much fun, we spent hours and hours with this.

NFS Porsche 2000. I loved it. I played it so much and for years and years it was my favourite racer.

NFS Underground- my brother had a hacked OG Xbox, so he rented the game and copied it to the hdd. We played this like crazy. I was 18 and just finishing high school if I remember correctly, also my gf had just moved away to the city, so I wasn’t having a good time. This game was a great distraction and super fun.

NFS Underground 2. I played it for a few hours only. I’d moved away from home and was a poor student, so I pirated it. I didn’t like the open world concept so I didn’t play it much.

NFS Hot Pursuit 2010. I got this on PS3 when it was released. I had a lot of fun with it. My partner has the remaster on her Switch, and it’s still a good time.

That’s all I’ve played in the series, and for me the winner was Porsche 2000.

Tumbleweed was my favourite for years. I’m not currently using it, but I’ll always have a fondness for it.

I thought everything in the archive was still in read only mode?

I’ll keep it in mind when I try again. Thanks mate.

In trying to get Linux on my og Surface Go lately, it’s not easy or straightforward.

It’s a toss up; Mega Drive or Mega Drive II

I think you interpreted it wrong? The dad first explains the concept to the kid, and then the kid is suitably impressed by it and says he ways to beatbox.

1. Dawn of Sorrow hack that removes the touch screen glyphs for the boss battles

2. Hack for Probotector/Contra Hard Corps on Sega that restores the 3 hit point system from the original Japanese version

Dave the Diver. I was playing a pirated copy through October, it was a lot of fun so when it went on sale last week I bought it.

Probably they invented pavlova

Crate was formed by former Titan Quest devs (can’t remember the name).

You should say what the game is.

Certain games might have known specific workarounds, hacks, some obscure patch someone knows from an old forum, source ports or rereleases.

And then again certain games might be non-functional no matter what you try.

Maybe if you use Proton VPN on KDE it could need to pull in some Gnome packages. Which isn’t a problem. I use Proton VPN on KDE but I just install it from flathub to keep it simple, so I couldn’t say for sure.
