Hey gamers! We just created two new events for The Gamer's Tavern's community nights!

Check them out:

• Friday: Pulsar: Lost Colony
• Sunday: Peak

And don't forget @harrybo 's live streaming tonight, he will be playing BeamNG and show us the new rally update!

Come play with us!

In the last community night we explored a radioactive planet just to find out a nood(les) bar. Totally worth it!

Cozy planet exploration in Pulsar: Lost Colony during last community night at The Gamer's Tavern.

@the_gamer_tavern@lemmy.world

Our heroes disembarked onto a purple-ish planet, just to find out a huge tree with electrical fruits and an abandoned campfire

I'm a bit late posting this but we set up two community nights this week

• Friday: Darktide
• Sunday: Pulsar: Lost Colonies

Join us and let's play together!

Hey adventurers! Come around, pull a chair and sit by the fire, it's time for an announcement.

We decided to host a new free service (surprise surprise!) and this time is Mobilizon

We decided to give all you gamers, streamers, content creators, etc. a brand new federated place where you'll be able to put your event/calendar, may it be about live streaming, publishing videos/podcast/audiobooks/books/whatever on your channel or just looking for some players for a cozy night. It's a calendar, it's a LFG tool, it's a plane - no wait, scratch this one - and it's yours and as always it's free of charge :)

You'll find the new service here

Seeing how much we expanded our self hosted catalog, we feel it's about time to publish a FAQ page on our blog and we will in the next few weeks. In the meantime, feel free to reach our staff and ask directly on Mastodon/Discord/Matrix/IRC/Lemmy

The legend of Batmetal and the old days

@the_gamer_tavern

Come come adventurers, sit by the counter and your old innkeeper will tell you a story of old, for you may not have been around on the net ten years ago and more.

Back in the days, the internet wasn't such a dark place. It wasn't toxic for the most part of it unless you'd know where to search for places for being toxic, but I'm digressing.

It was fun.
And we had things that we should keep in our memories forever, like Batmetal.

Feast your eyes and your ears on these masterpieces, but be warned, you'll hum them to your heart content.

CW: videos on youtube, gore, dark humour, metal

• Batmetal
• Batmetal returns
• Batmetal forever

Proton:

• GE-Proton rebased on top of Valve's Proton 10 Bleeding Edge

• Wine-Wayland has been enabled and patches from upstream wine backported for it. YMMV (Your mileage may vary). Thanks Etaash-mathamsetty for the backporting as well as the wine-wayland specific patch fixes for various games.

• Dualsense controller patches from ClearlyClaire https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/7238 rebased (thanks loathingKernel)

• FSR patches rebased (thanks loathingKernel)

• Nvidia Reflex low latency patches rebased

• Fix added for The Testament of Sherlock Holmes (thanks UsernamesAreNotMyThing)

• Fix added for Borderlans: The Pre-Sequel (thanks loathingKernel)

• Fix added for Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (thanks Reilley64)

Info regarding Wine-Wayland:

YMMV (Your mileage may vary). Most games that utilizes DXVK or VKD3D should be fine. Games that have native Vulkan or OpenGL are a coin toss. Most launchers should also be fine (Again huge thanks to Etaash, he's been hammering out a lot off the Wine-Wayland bug fixes, including one that was critical for OpenGL and launcher rendering). If a game or launcher isn't working, please DON'T come bugging us to fix it. Officially we're with Valve on this -- it's not supported. It's there for people to use/try/test out because it's a wanted feature, that's the extent of it.

New option for using Wine-Wayland:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1

New option for using HDR with Wine-Wayland:

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

It goes without saying, but just in case people don't know -- You need Wine-Wayland to use HDR, therefore you need both options for HDR:

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 %command%

If you want to use Wine-Wayland without HDR, you do NOT need this option:

PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1

Known issues with Wine-Wayland:

DOOM 2016: Opens in small window and crashes on resolution change without mesa patch. Fixed with patch

DOOM Eternal: Crashes without mesa patch. Broken mouse cursor in menus, Broken mouse pointing in-game

DOOM The Dark Ages: Broken mouse pointing in-game

Wolfenstein The Old Blood: OpenGL error crash

Wolfenstein The New Order: OpenGL error crash

Wolfenstein Youn Blood: mangohud broken

Path of Exile/Path of Exile 2: Vulkan renderer broken without mesa patch. Fixed with patch.

AMD-Specific:

mesa patches needed for DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34918

mesa patches needed for DOOM Dark Ages: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/34944

mesa patches needed for Path of Exile/Path of Exile 2 (currently not submitted yet): https://github.com/Nobara-Project/rpm-sources/blob/42/baseos/mesa/min_image_count.patch

Hopefully we can figure out a fix for the cursor issue in the DOOM games. Fingers crossed

TIL I suck so bad at stealth games like Dishonored that I have to resort to "leave no witnesses mode" way too often. Please tell me I'm not the only one

Hey adventurers!

For transparency, here’s the monthly report for April 2025: link

Once again, thank you all for your generosity! ❤️

This month has been intense, infrastructure-wise, given that we migrated from Masto.host to a Mastodon Glitch self-hosted instance, plus adding a status page and reworking the entire network to allow scaling. WHEW!!

Donations will never be mandatory but greatly appreciated and will allow us to host more services in the future, because, let's be clear...we won't stop!

14/4 - Issues with a provider

@the_gamer_tavern

Hey gamers!

We're currently going through a minor outage from one of our providers.

The service impacted are:

• Peertube

• Matrix

Sorry for the inconvenience, we're monitoring the situation and will let you know when things will be stable.

My relationship with long videogames

@the_gamer_tavern

In the past I couldn't, for the life of me, commit myself to playing long games (i.e. 30+ hours) because I fell out of interest and dropped the game.

Lately I started playing two "long" (always keep in mind that this adjective is used by my perspective) games: Red Dead Redemption 2 and Mass Effect 1 (the legendary edition) and weirdly enough, seems like they're sticking with me because I'm alternating one or another throughout the gaming sessions.

I don't know if this pattern will be able to help me with other games as well or if it's just peculiar to those two specific games but I'm crossing my fingers 🤞

Have any of you had a similar experience?
