I quite enjoyed this write-up, OP 😊

How many of them are “manual”? I mean, ones you had to configure goes to scrape from whatever website they are hosted on, etc.

I only have eight apps, and even then only one “manual”. It’s the most important one though… 🦜

I agree. All of that is very true. That’s why I am comparing it to Dwarf Fortress myself, which is similarly expensive.

Yet, the bias I feel between the two is one I cannot explain.

But I’m sure in a few days I’d consider it a Christmas gift to myself anyway and forget all about how expensive it felt at the moment :]

That does feel a tad bit expensive… Even though Dwarf Fortress is right there for comparison.

The Persona series as a whole, including the other Shin Megami games… If we count summoning them as playing them, but it’s basically pokémon isn’t it.

Fate/Grand Order also features a huge roster of mythical figures, but actual gods make a far smaller portion of them. Very few games get to feature, Ishtar, and, Quetzalcoatl, together with Shakespeare and Merlin.

I shall pay a tuppence, and not a ha’penny more.

What if I am robot, Bloomberg? Aren’t you one as well? Would you judge the circumstances of your creation?

The only thing cooler than a living miracle of portable computing is an undead miracle of portable computing that I’d still be playing games on come 2025 🧛

Tasker, and… that’s pretty much it!

Me too! My original discs for the sequel was unreadable even before I got to play it (it was a hand-me-down).

I also found this mod on itch as well, after your post. I think I had to edit the configs to get the resolution writing for Nolf2 even on the revival copy (and, save files from different resolutions don’t load!) If this patch can work around those issues that’d be great.

Time for another playthrough of the series, on the Steam Deck!

Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to.

Edit: no that’s just NOLF revival. I suppose I shouldn’t change it now, and thanks for posting ☺️

No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.

They’re both fantastic games, but the original (in which you go to Hamburg and a space station) felt more adventurous rather than the more grounded sequel (in which you go to the arctics and even more exotic locale: my hometown of Calcutta). Set it in the fictionalized disco-themed cold-war with the lead jet-setting around the world, and we’re golden!

Also, only a single game, but: Arcanum. (At least this one’s possible to buy on Gog and Steam…)

Arcanum supposedly had a sequel in the works at some point: Journey to the Center of Arcanum, and frankly, while I’d prefer to see other continents on that world explored a là Around the World in 80 Days, I’d still be sold on a hollow-earth adventure any day!

[Finished with the edits now!]

Allow me—blissfully unaffiliated with all the parties involved in my post—highjack this irredeemable piece of spam with an actual “blackjack game” worth playing:

Dungeon Degenerate: Gamblers is Balatro but blackjack and just as wild a ride!

I can only conceptualize “pro” meaning “large” in the “large, and in charge” sense.

One hand, the game changed surprisingly little over the years in early access. On the other, it remains incredibly fun since day one in early access 😊

I can only assume someone made them an offer they could refuse

Thanks a lot!

And now we wait…

If you remember which community that was, please let me know. Still missing a replacement for r/androidappsales!

I hear he don’t run in background. Always center stage him. Super star.

“Joke” done. Have you tried Hermit, OP? It has containers too. Kinda pricey though.

That’s what the new RPS reporting looks like eh?

I didn’t expect Rentals to be as infuriating as they are. But I’d take them over an even smaller hand any day…
