Today’s game is Mario Kart 64. I was going to have a bunch more Halo screenshots setup for today, but i got fed up with Bazzite and suddenly hopped ships. I have officially switched over to CachyOS. I’m sorry to Bazzite, but i’m in love. This literally works so much better. OS Troubles aside. In the move i lost the Theater Clips. So… i didn’t want to finagle things so i just stuck to my idea of a nice evening.

I mixed things up and drove around as Luigi. I’m not sure how i feel about this because it kind of feels like cheating on Toad. I’ve played Toad like everytime for the past 2 years i think. Still, i had a nice time driving around and racing as Luigi. He gives me awkward older brother vibes. Like he’s just happy to be there.

I did Koopa Troopa beach of course. I even hit the shortcut. There was something going on with the clouds where one of them was just static and constantly rotating with the camera.

I also do Choco Mountain. This is the only course on here that i avoid. Not because it’s bad, but just because I just like to avoid falling down the side and losing a ton of time.

I kind of stopped for a minute and just watched the water and the boulders fall down. It was a nice time. Overall that’s all i kind of got up too. I wish i had gotten those Halo screenshots as i rather liked some of them, but oh well. It can’t be helped. I at least had a good time here.

    It was a whole bunch of stuff. Steam kept crashing while in games then reopening, taking focus away from the game. Halo just wouldn’t work with Steam Clips. It would crash whenever I tried. Hardware Acceleration just refused to work without running Steam out of the terminal with some commands. And then finally, the Game Mode (which was like a major reason I picked Bazzite) was too slow to be practical and Game Clips just didn’t work.

    I was using the GNOME desktop instead of KDE which may have been affecting things, I’m not sure, but I had heard good things about CachyOS and Big Picture mode can substitute for a proper Game Mode. I decided if I was going to do a reinstall I may as well try it first.

      is Steam a flatpak or such on Bazzite? AFAIK that makes quite a difference. DE shouldn’t, but… who knows.

      Either way, if the change was a positive one, it’s great.

        I don’t believe it was a flatpak, i’m not 100% sure though.

        But yeah, this change is nice. I was able to use hardware acceleration and Game Recording without crashing which is nice
