  • He was using pirated official Nintendo 64 development kit software to build the game, so I mean yeah it kind of did…

    To be totally clear I don’t support Nintendo in this decision and it’s a shame it couldn’t be continued but it wasn’t like he was using the available open source toolchain, he was using Nintendo software so at least they had a leg to stand on legally

    Also if memory serves Nintendo never even took it down, they just told Valve (who actively reached out to Nintendo) that they couldn’t release it and the developer took it upon himself to stop the project after not receiving Valve’s blessing.



  • The story is amazing and the voice acting etc is great. The combat gets pretty repetitive especially toward the end and the enemies are total bullet sponges, so I highly recommend playing on normal difficulty but just turning down enemy health (or turning up your damage I can’t remember which it is but same difference). Made the game so much more fun for me. Beaten it I think 3 times now because I love the story and the game isn’t too long, maybe 15-20 hours?



  • EDIT: I just re-read your comment and realized you were asking specifically about Intel Arc cards. Sorry I don’t have any experience with them. I’ll leave this comment here though in case it’s useful in some way.

    Everyone seems to always recommend AMD cards for Linux but at least in my experience I’ve had no issues with Nvidia cards. I have a 1070 in my home Proxmox server passed through to a Debian transcoding for Plex and Jellyfin, and in my gaming machine I dual boot Debian and my 4090 works just fine so far (including HDMI sound). I just installed the latest drivers on both machines and they “just worked”.

    I don’t personally have any issues with using proprietary drivers, but I understand why people prefer AMD for the open source drivers if that’s important to them. I just wanted to chime in with my experience because a lot of people will outright dismiss Nvidia cards for Linux saying they don’t work well, regardless of the politics of the drivers. At least for me they work fine.
