Livestream recording: Space – Pew Pew – Playing X-Wing with XWVM Alpha again in my Macross SimPit

Played #XWVM (closed) Alpha with my #Macross inspired #SimPit. I’m simply in awe that I can replay missions from #XWing (or #TIEFighter) with more modern graphics and modern interface devices again. I spent _so many_ hours playing these #StarWars games as a kid.

This is the heavily cut VOD of the live stream over at @bekopharm@live.famkos.net (pick your poison):

This time I play with the native Linux version and my X52 Pro joystick (which means I actually have a chance of hitting stuff too). The following missions were played:

Historical Mission 2 / Wingmen Are Important
Historical Mission 3 / Sattelites Near Coruscant
Historical Mission 4 / Beating The Odds
OP 1: Destroy Imperial Convoy (Uncut)
OP 2: Reconnaissance Mission (Uncut)
OP 3: Fly Point During Evacuation (Uncut)
OP 4: Protect Medical Frigate (Uncut)

XWVM is not an official product from Lucasfilm Ltd. or Disney. It is not endorsed or authorized by either. It is a fan recreation of the game engine used to play X-Wing and TIE Fighter for the sake of accessibility and requires the original game assets to work.

Kudos to the XWVM team, they are doing a stellar job here.

🐧 Moi drodzy, przypominam: linuks dla graczy to rzeczywistość, nie mit! A przypominam, bo niebawem pomogę Wam wybrać odpowiednie dla siebie distro. ;)

Jeśli jednak zastanawialiście się nad alternatywami – poza kosztownym MacOS, wymagającym drogiego sprzętu – warto wiedzieć, że dostępne są inne, wcale nie tak skomplikowane opcje"

A fan blade broke off my 7900 XTX mid gaming session, I was playing the Last of Us 2 for about an hour when i heard a slight rattle noise from computer then within about 60-90 seconds it turned into loud clank and grinding noise, and i found the blade at bottom of my case.

@casey Been hard to squeeze a game in lately because of work but I have been able to play Dredge here and there. I've been really enjoying it, I think I'm almost done with the base game.

I enjoy the calm day fishing but if I want to mix it up I can fish at night with the eldritch horrors. I also really like the time mechanic. If I have to put the game down for whatever reason time stands still. Time moves only when I take an action.
