Similarly, in 2020 a game called Nox Archaist came out for the Apple ][. If you liked Ultima, you should check it out – it even has a book sized manual to go with it.
The Forest?
War crimes and human leather.
It’s funny, your description of Souls games echoes how I feel about 3rd person action games that aren’t made by FromSoft. To me, Dark Souls 1 felt like the crisp combat I had been wanting but never getting from stuff like God of War or the older Monster Hunter games. Bloodborne refined it somewhat, and to this day, that style of 3rd person combat is my favorite.
Crazy how perceptions of a game’s controls are so individual. Our difference really illustrates to me how hard it is to nail a game’s “feel.”
I use my Steam Deck as a portable console too. My laptop is a super ultra light thing (XPS 13) that can’t run games very well to begin with, but that’s fine since I have it for work anyway. In the end, the two of those together still cost less than a competent (and new) gaming laptop. And I don’t even have to put up with Nvidia’s terrible Linux drivers!
I’m surprised to not see Flare RPG mentioned. It’s nothing groundbreaking on its own, but it’s actually got two nicely fleshed out campaigns, and tooling for people to make new ones. It’s a nice, fun, FOSS single-player RPG, and it’s great if you want that old fashioned Diablo feel.
Another vote for Endless Sky here as well, it’s just excellent, and surprisingly expansive.
My bet is on either thermals or power supply.
Not likely to be RAM, since issues there are more likely to either prevent the machine starting in the first place, or lock up if it fails while the machine is in operation.
Not likely to be CMOS battery since that generally wouldn’t cause the machine to shut off, it just preserves firmware settings between power cycles.
In theory, there could be an intermitted short happening somewhere and the PSU’s OCP is kicking in, but I’ve never come across something like that. Similarly, there could be a problem with an internal power cable connection doing the same, but it sounds like you’ve already checked that.
I would test with a different PSU if you can. Thermals should be easy to check for too with the many pieces of available software to keep track of such things.
