So it’s the overly complicated version of a system that’s on more sane platforms like Steam? Ok.


The problem with that is when you have some computer on the LAN that is running Windows, it doesn’t always work and who the fuck knows why.


Original Diablo or Diablo 2 (not sure about the latter though, haven’t played it yet, lol)


I am pretty sure it was possible even like 15 years ago through unofficial app on Google Play. What’s new here?


IDK. I see plenty of RTX 3060’s and 4060’s around for relatively cheap, but I didn’t follow the evolution of PC components in years, and my GTX 1060 still works, lol.


I’ll be riding my bike till I feel and die.


I really dislike any game with difficulty scaling. It might make some sense, if you fight random bandits in the middle of nowhere, since they had time to level up a little, but in most places it’s just annoying.

I’d rather have my character level up and be able to literally destroy everything with one hit when I spend a shit-ton of time making it stronger. See: Gothic games or classic RPG’s.


A romance story is good if’s not half-assed and a game doesn’t depend on it. 16-bit RPG’s did it well.



We just want a good GTA game… Fuck this monetization bullshit.


Well I don’t know… it will end in October. Time surely doesn’t fly that fast…


It’s a very useful site, but I don’t get the competition thing. If you want to finish the game fast you speedrun it, not play casually.


There’s no way I will ever get rid of my desktop PC (and my 3DS I guess).


That’s just not true. They have their own emulators, but most of the time they are inferior to community ones. I think Virtual Console releases used some kind of optimized emulators for their hardware, but didn’t care about accuracy, etc.


There’s nothing new in this article. And I don’t think Nintendo ever said that emulation is illegal, just emulating their games is, which technically is true to some part at least in the United States, where sometimes you need to circumvent some security measures to get games emulated which is a forbidden (this is mentioned in the article).




Firefox is absolutely horrendous on mobile. A lot of websites don’t render properly, or when scrolling everything jumps around. Browsing Facebook is especially bad. Also UX is a lot worse than competing browsers.


At least Samsung phones are only bloated with Samsung apps, which in most part you can uninstall or disable. Although it’s still fucking stupid that when you buy a new phone you need to do a lot of maintenance just to make your phone work as it should, and not slow down because of shitty apps.



I’ve just finished playing Half-Life (or in fact, the fan-made remake Black Mesa), and Half-Life: Uplink (the demo version that was released after the final game, and it consisted of a short non-canon scenario that’s not included in the final game, but lately was included in the 25th anniversary version).

I will be playing HL: Opposing Force and Blue Shift next. And in general I am planning to fish every Half-Life game this month (except Alyx since I don’t have good enough hardware for me to enjoy it, and playing it on GTX 1060 3GB is not enjoyable at all), and if it goes well Portal games as well.


Absolutely nothing, like in the past like 5 years.

Currently (re)playing all Half-Life and Portal games in order they were released.


Technology is incredible!

There’s a new flight simulator? Shit, I still haven’t played the one I bought like a year or two ago.


It’s a huge deal for hardcore fans, but I am overall against these practices, since they are just illegal, period.


There are a lot of fangames that contain regions and their Pokemon from original games, with some enhancements. You could try these.


That’s probably something a person who has no clue about Pokemon could say. You underestimate how many mechanics older games contain, since like half of them are not obvious for casual players. Although I am not sure about gens newer than IV (Diamond and Pearl is the most recent I’ve played), since I haven’t played them. But most people agree that the best games were around that period (Gen IV, or V), and they only become worse over the years.


To be honest I really think that an AI surprising human brain in many ways is a matter of time, but what people don’t tend to talk about is whether or not we are slowly approaching the limit what we can do with technology, because I already see tech progress slowing down in some areas.


Mouse and keyboard, optionally a Xbox Controller or similar.

But my least liked one? Probably any PlayStation one, I hate them all.


What about the original Game Boy? I am pretty sure it lasted nearly a decade.


While I don’t really like to play newer Doom games (still would rather play original Doom or Doom 2), they really look great and metal as fuck.


I think that’s what we expected? I don’t think anything else would make sense. Although I miss small handhelds like GBA or 3DS.


Oh it looks like your PC is not supported because you turned off single option in UEFI. Go to this link and buy your new Windows 11 PC today!


Original Xbox had custom OS. It run on something similar to Windows 2000 (NT 5) kernel though.




Missing Euro Truck Similator 2 Map DLC’s :)


I don’t think I ever seen an Android app launching Chrome if it’s not a default browser. Are you sure they are not launching built-in WebView?


I mean, they look nothing like RL people, but still there is some progress.


In no particular order:

  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
  • Minecraft
  • Gothic II (or The Chronicles of Myrtana: Archolos, but that’s a mod)

With honorable mentions (also in no particular order):

  • Portal 2
  • Heroes of Might and Magic III
  • Pokémon Platinum (Previously I would put Emerald Version, but I’ve recently started to play Platinum and it’s best one yet, didn’t touch later ones though).
  • Far Cry 3 (and Blood Dragon)
  • The Witcher 2 (Haven’t finished TW3 yet)
