Is there like a /r/steam alternative for /r/openbsd or
/r/dragonflybsd?

BSDs have no app store, nothing like Steam or Google Play. Tools like
OpenBSD's pkg_add(1) don't charge money for packages. Some games from
other platforms can run on BSD. See /r/openbsd_gaming

If you like old games from the '00s, and don't mind relying on wine,
check out
[emulators/playonbsd](https://www.freshports.org/emulators/playonbsd)
for FreeBSD.

The PlayOnBSD's Steam wrapper can handle several older (sometimes
newer) games pretty well...see the related [blog
post](https://www.trueos.org/blog/playonbsd-trueos-getting-steamy-ive-
much-wine/) on TrueOS Blog

Am I even supposed to reply to this? Or do you think you can explain
yourself?

i think freebsd people are just tourists that dont understand what
operating systems are. you are proving my point. illumos lol. a lost
soul from system v land looking for a nice gui for installing video
games in BSD land. LOL. i hope freebsd never dies. all the laughs will
be gone.

Only one I ever heard of was the PlayStation Network's store. You knew
that the operating systems for
[PS3](http://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps3-oss/) and
[PS4](http://doc.dl.playstation.net/doc/ps4-oss/) are based on
FreeBSD, right?

Too bad they don't let you run a POSIX shell using a connected
keyboard/mouse or over SSH.

>pkg_add bro

By the way Jordan Hubbard wrote the pkg_install toolset in C [for
FreeBSD
2](https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/release/2.0/usr.sbin/pkg_install/),
Marc Espie rewrote it in Perl for OpenBSD later on

a diamond covered in horseshit is by definition a shitty diamond, ergo
jordan hubbard is a shitty developer. have a nice day.

PS3 I wouldn't be so sure about

are you capable of talking like a regular person?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
poshpotdllr · 2018-08-21 22:23

not always. depends on the context. crimes against computer science
and technologically transmitted diseases need to be resisted for great
justice.

There is a GOG list of OpenBSD-compatible games

This is pretty cool. Needs more upvotes.
