I love my Steam Deck but it doesn't have Mario Kart or even anything like it

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 21 points 4 months ago (2 children)

It does if you run Dolphin.

What if I want to play Mariokart World online with my friends?

[–] Zanathos@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Then you and your friends are accepting of the problem.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's still just Nintendo with extra steps.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah but if the steps are piracy, then fine.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Sure. But this is an argument for piracy far more than quality.

If you've got the money to burn and consider emulation a hassle, you're still buying a new Switch (tariffs pending)

[–] airportline@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago

I have nothing against piracy. I'm just lazy.

Bro doesn't know about dolphin

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

lol there are so many racing as well as cart games, and the fact you can run literally any Nintendo game on PC

[–] airportline@lemm.ee 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

None of them really compare, and I'm not really interested in setting up emulation.

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

you'll pay the price, one way or the other

[–] airportline@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

C'est la vie.

SuperTuxKart exists for a native Linux kart racer, and it's FOSS on top of that. Oh, and since STK is FOSS, I can imagine there are some tracks as intricate as anything in modern MarioKart if not moreso, that the community around it made for it.

[–] airportline@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

SuperTuxKart is a neat indie game, but I really would not compare it to Mario Kart or try to recommend it as a substitute.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

Isnt there an open source linux cart racer?

The nickolodeon cart racer is fun and I have heard one of the sonic cart racing game is real good.
