Planescape: Torment - commented setup and let's play on OpenBSD [1] (redone)
Channel: thfr

*** Sound stuttering of the game music and sound are from the limitations of the recording with ffmpeg on OpenBSD, they *don't* occur in-game, except for mild stuttering during the intro video!***

Watch me play the world's best games on the world's best operating system!

While OpenBSD is primarily known for its code correctness and security architecture, it makes for a decent desktop operating system for those who know Unix. It even has decent multimedia capabilities.

While OpenBSD isn't exactly known for gaming, a large number of older and some newer games can run on it. This series aims to showcase what is possible with gaming on OpenBSD.

The streaming as well as the gemrb audio produce some audio glitching/stuttering, unfortunately. This is despite i3-7100 kaby lake CPU, 8GB RAM, and an SSD drive.

Please excuse low volume/mumbling in the later parts.

Contains some setup details; game starts at about 9:20.
