Any recommendations for low-end, Linux-friendly games to play? (beehaw.org)

Hi everyone! So I just switched to Linux and I am a little unsure of what to play on my laptop.

It's a presumably decent laptop, 16gb of ram and Iris Xe, but I find that it has battery issues trying to play anything fancy like Skyrim.

I'm looking into things like emulation, finally tackling my Itch.io backlog, and bringing out old classics.

I like RPGs and text-based choose your own adventure games, so if you have any recommendations I'd appreciate it!

Wasnt this game made a long time ago? I remember seeing BananaBread video where they played this. I dont remember it being called Veloren though.

It seems to have evolved from Cube World, so maybe you're thinking of that game.

That's exactly it! That's so interesting, what happened to Cube World?

I think it's still around, but I don't think it is community-driven, open source, and self-hostable.

Cube World had an absurdly troubled development, afaik. The dev took several extremely long unannounced hiatuses and eventually just said the game is abandoned entirely. It was a whole thing when it happened, give it a google if you want the full story.
