![]() ![]() That play style has remained the same across Doom (2016), Bethesda’s Wolfenstein games, Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts, and others. When I do, I tend to play them cautiously, picking my way forward as carefully as possible. I don’t play first-person shooters often. In choosing Global Offensive as my first attempted deep dive into online multiplayer, of course I didn’t expect to recapture that sense of camaraderie, but maybe the familiarity would make something click. Those of us who played then may long since have drifted apart, but intractable schoolyard bonds were formed in that room.

Well, I figured I’d finally see what all the fuss is about and see just how wrong I’ve been all these years. Stories and the pleasures of playing solo get my motor going, yet people always tell me that I’m missing out by ignoring the multiplayer realm. ![]() POL_Wine start /unix "Steam.I’m a die-hard single-player enthusiast. cd "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/$PROGRAMFILES/Steam" POL_SetupWindow_message "$(eval_gettext 'When $TITLE download by Steam is finished,\nDo NOT click on Play.\n\nClose COMPLETELY the Steam interface, \nso that the installation script can continue.')"
