Somehow I seriously doubt that anyone would want my cards, and don’t know what prices to set. Oh well.

How does one buy games with trading cards? I have tons of them

Castlevania Symphony of the Night.

It’s only $3 on play store and iPhone store. The phone version has the advantage that you only have to cast/input each spell once, and then you have a button to press.

No clue. No idea if this is the same dev that joined the VS team.

I wonder how this will affect Vintage Story. At least a couple of the devs were working with them on a “Fantasy Mode”

We’re all cousins, so probably?

That’s Jon Arbuckle

I just found the (mostly) OG 2005 rerelease with all the DLC on steam for $10. It’s called “Painkiller: Black Edition.”

It was the very first game that Yahzee gave a good review of. He caused a 900% uptick in sales of a several years old game, at that point.

Well worth torrenting and playing with if you remember Quake 3 or Doom 2

Is this a sequel to the 2004 Painkiller by People Can Fly?

Edit: looking at the steam page it certainly seems related, but I don’t know if any of the original devs are involved.

So what is Microsoft going to be doing?

Same for chex quest. Free video game that was better than it had any right being.

According to that blog, I should interview for a Sr. Dev role, lol

It was released for both then. I have a physical PS2 copy. Not really surprised. They did that with a ton of titles when hopping from one generation of console to the next.

Smugglers Run 2

Castlevania Symphony of the Night

Gladius

Burnout Revenge

Gran Turismo 3&4

Final Fantasy X/ X-II

Just Cause 2

Drakkengarde

I’m sure I’m forgetting some really good ones.

Age of Empires, Definitive Edition is honestly amazing to look at. Cities Skylines with mods and all DLC. Fallout NV with mods can get insanely good looking. Just cause 2 and Just Cause 3 are both beautiful at ultra settings. Star Wars The Old Republic gets fairly pretty for an MMO. Obligatory EvE Online, just don’t try to play the game. Took me 16 years to win EvE.

Do we finally get to mug Tom Nook?

I’m pretty sure the mass shootings are just emulation of the mass violence the ultrarich inflict on everyone on a daily basis.

I hope the shooter’s name is Mario Brother

I mean Terraria and Factorio both took years if not a decade to hit 1.0

Derail Valley Simulator, and Vintage Story

Vintage Story player?

That just means that we know their addresses

You suck at parking is a neat game. Well worth the $4 they are asking for it right now. It’s not a typical racing game, more like a souped up hot wheels track, with a “how accurately and fast can you park in the correct spot,” element.

Rollercoaster Tycoon and RCT2 should work well on most machines. They are smallish games and written in assembly.

Sounds like an excellent reason to never buy a non indie game again.

Not so much the collecting. I like learning how to drive them, and driving them. I blew up my steam engines the first several times I touched the controls

Check out Vintage Story! It’s really fun and pretty hard.

Depending on how long ago it was, we’ve had a couple of updates recently. You can now paint all your engines, and there’s a ton of gadgets

Pick up Derail Valley Simulator. It’s not as pretty, or expensive, but good Lord is it satisfying to learn how to NOT blow up a steam engine.

Derail Valley Simulator. I like my trains.

I put Factorio down for a bit. I have almost 4,000 hours in Factorio, and almost 3,000 hours in Dyson Sphere Program. Been playing Derail Valley Simulator, Schedule 1, and Vintage Story recently.

No clue, I just know that it exists and seems to work with the scammiest scammers that ever scammed

EvE Online doesn’t use root access anticheat software. I know it doesn’t because it runs on Linux just fine. That particular player base is the worst hive of scum and villainy that you’ll find outside of government. Clearly the anticheat software isn’t as essential as game studios would have you believe. The only major cheating I’m aware of in EvE was the BoB scandal, and that involved Devs cheating because they were Devs.

You made me read the link. I don’t think these games are actually related, but I dunno at this point.

I remember the guns, and the painkiller. Shooting enemies with mini telephone poles never got boring

The original Painkiller was the first overwhelmingly positive review that Yahtzee Crowshaw ever made. That review caused a years old game, at that point, to spike almost 3000% in sales for the next month. It contained gems of sentence construction such as: [Painkiller] (sic) “has a gun in it that shoots shurikens and lightning. I’m not making that up. It shoots shurikens and lightning. This gun could only be cooler if it had tits and was on fire!”

Its current state isn’t even close to being done. VS has a roadmap that is just as large as Schedule I or All Will Fall.

And VS has a modding API, unlike MC, or so I am told. I played MC for all of about two hours years ago. I thought that the graphics were the issue. Turns out it was that the gameplay loop was lacking in depth

Not that it actually matters, but Qualified Immunity is also against the actual laws that were passed.

White Mage/White Wizard gets Thor’s Hammer for a reason!

Chrono Cross. You can accidentally write out all the endings of the game if you try to play without a guide.

Also Mordor 2. Completely procedurally generated world. The game literally can’t tell you where to go, it doesn’t know.
