So, like, I’m going to start Elden Ring today.

What should I know beforehand?

    This last months I’ve been on a simulator spree. Mostly DCS soviet modules. Been also thinking of returning to X-Plane 11, but on linux with amd the results are not optimal. I’m waiting anxiously for Xp12 though.

      There’s some sort-of Soviet machinery simulator game or something?

        Huum, for machinery you mean like farming? The closest I know is Workers and Resources Soviet Republic. Is like simcity and factorio got together. You must build up your city, but you can plan the economy and instead of outright buying stuff you gather the raw materials, refine them, then finaly build what you wanted. The supply chains are complex and it is in constant development. It is a great game.

        I mentioned DCS which has soviet war planes to simulate. The Mig-21 is close to my heart. Also it has helicopters, the best some say, the Mi-8 being my favourite.

        Over in X-plane, we have the fantastic Tu-154, by Felis. It is one of my favourite planes on the platform. Felis, the designer of these planes also made a very good An-24, and a Yak-40. These last ones are a little older but a joy to fly, plus they are free.

        There is also a train simulator that I would love to try but haven’t got the patience to make it run on linux: MaSzyna. It is a polish train sim that seems to have great depth for the olden soviet locomotives.

        If submarines are more your type, Dangerous Waters is a great subsim that has some cold war era soviet boats. The Kilo Class and the Akula Class are available. It is quite old though. A more modern rendition, yet less sim, more game is Cold Waters.

          Don’t forget about Reinforce Alert for Dangerous Waters which widely enhances the game and Epic Mod for Cold Waters which makes it an actual sim.

          Oh shit. I didn’t even know these existed.

          Huh.
