You aren’t alone on that. One of my friends got it with his new gpu. He tried it not knowing it had PVP and was really enjoying it. Then another player made his life miserable. He quit and won’t play again.
It’s too bad too because me and 3 other friends were also on board with the idea of buying it when he was talking about it. But then we found out it was PVP only and that completely killed it for all of us. So they lost out on about 5 players and 4 purchases from our group just because there wasn’t a no PVP option. And I mean it really doesn’t seem like it’d be hard. Just turn off the connection to other players. If they wanted to go above and beyond, make it so you can play with a small group of friends. But at the very least being able to turn off PVP would’ve been a good idea.

Because Linux is open source and each group has a different idea on the direction it should go. They are all linux at their core, but they all have different use cases.
Bazzite and Zorin are both great options for leaving Windows for the first time. Bazzite is generally more gaming focused but Zorin is a better desktop in my limited experience of both. Bazzite for example is more locked up on OS files, so it’s harder to break in some regards. But it also bakes drivers into the image and they only get updated on the next release. Afaik you can’t tinker with the drivers much but I’m not experienced enough to say 100%.

Silent Hill is more than just psychological chaos, most any modern horror game does that much. The Japanese setting doesn’t really help, it would make it harder to adapt to the IP, but it could have been done in a way that it wouldn’t have been an issue.
I’ll have to rewatch the trailer to give you more specific points, but it seems combat might be more prevalent than it should, veering more to the Resident Evil brand. The shifted world didn’t make much of an appearance in the trailer, but from the glimpses it seemed tame and not really all that horror-esque. It doesn’t even appear to be in or connected to the town of Silent Hill.
Being a bigger fan of the first two games than any of the rest, i see them as the standard, the fog and mist, not being able to see everything clearly so that odd shapes and shadows mess with you is also something I am missing in the new game.
It may be a great game. I just don’t see it as a SH game.

They shit on Mick so badly and so dishonestly that it broke my fan status. I am a hardcore doom fan and id fan. Or I guess it’s better to say I was. Once they pulled that shit with Mick, I was done. I have all prior collector’s editions and several statues and other related paraphernalia. I gave them the benefit of the doubt until Mick came with receipts. Between that and the increased pricing, I’m just going to wait for a sale and get the regular version on deep discount. If I even do that. I’m just so disappointed in them.

I got through eternal, and for the most part had fun. (fuck marauders) But the damn skill ceiling in the DLC killed my interest in completing those. 2016 was definitely my favorite of the two and I really liked the back too roots mechanics. The devs have talked about how they want to do something different in each game and how Dark Ages is intended to be more grounded than eternal and hopefully less complicated. Also has tons of difficulty sliders for every little aspect of the game so it should be much more tailorable than previous games.
A nice Slice of Life gane I recently enjoyed is Midnight Ramen.
Another I found excellent that might touch closer to Stardew is Potion Permit
Another that can be emotional is Spiritfarer
I wish overspending was why I was poor. At least I could fix that.
