I was about to ask you where the hell to find it, but I just realized I could use Google and found it myself.

It’s on the actual website TimeplittersRewind.com in case anyone else was a little lost like me.


They’re fun and campy, taking most of their inspiration from those old sci-fi B-movies. Some of the humor might not have aged very well, particularly in the second one, but there’s a disclaimer at the beginning of each game that says as much.

For instance, the second game takes place in the 60s, and in a couple levels some of the thoughts you can scan are a little questionable.


Arkham Asylum but not the rest? /s

I loved Spider-Man and Miles Morales, I need to play Spider-Man 2 but I’m waiting for a better sale on steam.

Also, Guardians of the Galaxy blew me away with how fun and awesome it was. Like I honestly feel bad for waiting so long to play it.



Halo 3 Theater was the best, imo. Idk why, but I never really bothered with it in the later games, aside from ODST.


Hell yeah. I spent a few hours playing with some friends too, all the way back when Labs was the farthest you could go.


I finally finished Abiotic Factor, and yup. I need more story and places to explore already. And I haven’t even done everything there is to do yet.

I’ve also been playing some more Enshrouded. Finally got to the mountains, and now I just need to make some warm armor. I probably need to take a day or two to expand my main base, as it’s getting a little cramped. I have pretty much all the crafters and some villagers in the main building with all their stations shoved into different corners, but my farmers actually have a house that I built for them with a separate bedroom upstairs.


True. And I do like the games, it just kinda felt a little strange the first time I played the first one.

Baranor is one of my favorite side characters in anything LOTR too.


Idk, I felt like the story for the games was pretty complete once I finished it. It’s a little weird with the whole “Shelob can shapeshift and helps this Gondorian guard get his petty revenge on Sauron” noncanonicity though.



I started a playthrough right before they released the 1.0 update and wiped my progress (which I was aware of, and I’m not upset about). How are you liking the full release? I’m kind of excited to get an airship and be able to fly it around.


Abiotic Factor. I finally made it to the Residence Sector and am working my way through the last bit of story content now. It’s taking me a bit because I’m kinda taking my time, but also cause I’m playing solo. I’m sure I could do more to make it more smooth/faster, but I like playing at my own pace.

Other than that, I’ve been picking away at 100% Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 and a second run of DC Supervillains.


I bought it and played through the tutorial.

I haven’t touched it since. But I do think it’s a cool idea/game, as basically just a single player DnD campaign.


Damn, now I want a mod that replaces all Covenant enemies with these fascists, and replace all their voice lines with actual quotes they’ve said.

You could do Stephen Miller for the Prophets, Trump for the Elites, and maybe Alex Jones or something for the Grunts.



I never played classic Blue Shift until a couple years ago (I didn’t actually finish though, but I did get a part of the way through Xen in that one) and thought it had a little more “personal” feel to it rather than Half-Life. Like everyone has a name, and calls you Barney or Calhoun all the time and such.

The Blue Shift Remake mod for Black Mesa is really cool imo. It’s bigger, there’s been more stuff added to levels, and it kinda fleshes out Black Mesa itself as a location (you have different divisions with their uniforms and such, like Security, Research, Warehouse and Maintenance).


Or the spirit you meet who tasks you with stealing insignificant things. She was fun.

ETA: I also treat that undead crypt keeper nicely any time I see him in a playthrough. He’s always nice to me so it only seems fair.


Psychonauts 2 was probably the best sequel ever imo. I grew up playing the first game so I’m a little biased, but holy shit is that second one a masterpiece.


It’s such a fun and cozy little game, I honestly want the creators to make it into a show or something. I love all the characters and I want to see more of them!

And the soundtrack was absolutely gorgeous too.


I think the moment that got the biggest laugh from me, was shooting that kid in the face then telling his mom about it, or finding the dying care bear dude voiced by PsychicPebbles and he’s going on for almost more than five whole minutes about how close he is to dying and he sees the light and blah blah blah. Anytime you tried to leave he’d be like “wait where are you going?! You’re just gonna leave me here to die alone?!”


Those Wolfenstein games kinda rule because they’re so over the top.

And then you become Terror Billy.


Holy shit The Alters has a music video scene? Is it like in American Dad when he’s in Francine’s mind and has the other versions of him sing a song?


I’ve been wanting to play the full game for a while now, but I saw a review that said it was a surprisingly short game, so I’ve been holding off spending the $20 on it. I had a TON of fun with the demo though. Kicking barrels and crates into people, kicking people into furniture and water, all their little comments like “maybe if we don’t move, she’ll forget we’re still here” after “knocking them out.”


I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I’m sure it wasn’t long ago. I laugh pretty easily at a lot of different things, like ironic situations or bugs/glitches that look silly.


Don’t forget the thousands of mods, too. And like the other reply said about server/game world settings before you start playing, there are mods that add even more settings to tweak, or they make gameplay smoother (or harder), or they add new things like weapons and vehicles. There are even entire new maps to add to play in.

It’s very doable solo, but it’s kind of a slog if you want to do anything significant in a playthrough, plus it can get very lonely and isolating.



I’m one of the ones who doesn’t give a shit about that. On my PC I use windows, and my phone is android.


They made Goth Mommy GF into a pokemon with “Gothita”

How many sentient clouds are also pokemon? Or that one that’s literally just a balloon?

I swear pokemon ran out of creativity by gen 3 - and I’m not even a pokemon fan.


This is the reality everyone on Lemmy, and even reddit, needs to face. We’re a minority of a minority of people. All the people who glaze and go nonstop about Linux? That’s not even half of Lemmy users, and you can find someone like that in just about every thread on Lemmy, regardless of context.

We’re such a miniscule group of people we probably wouldn’t even register on studies about social behavior.


I haven’t even heard or seen anyone mention RDR2 in at least a year.

That one guy who makes daily posts about the games he’s playing made a post like last week about him playing Undead Nightmare from the first one, but that’s it.


Getting back into Schedule 1 after a few months, it’s still fun and decently chill to just be a drug dealer for wacky cartoon drug addicts.

I have almost all the properties - all I’m missing is the docks warehouse - I have all possible customers, I’m almost done taking out the rival drug cartel in the game, and I’m still only based out of the barn. I also finally got around to hiring my first few employees so I don’t have to constantly be mixing up new shit to sell or give to my dealers. I’m excited to see what else they add to the game (it’s still in EA).

After I’m done with that, I’ll probably jump back into Abiotic Factor and try to finish the story of that one.


It’s been talked about online ever since it first came out, because people love it. I personally think it’s one of the best DLC for any game I’ve ever played.


I fucking hate living in today’s world.

You can’t even talk about different games while playing certain ones, like what bullshit is that? I really feel like corporations are policing people’s lives nowadays, what with Nintendo being shitty to everyone, CoD not letting you talk about certain other games in-game, YouTube and other social media companies censoring any goddamn word that has even the slightest negative connotations (kill, suicide, pedophile, etc.}

Like the world just feels so infantilized and people can’t actually be people anymore, like we all need to be told what to do.

And in the end, I think it could all be explained with the rise of fascism literally everywhere right now. This world and existence fuckin sucks.




I physically can’t say that without sounding like my mouth is full of peanut butter



I hate it. It’s always stupidly cringe, overly wordy, and just makes me feel dumber for having read it.




How Do You Deal With Thumb Stick Drift?
So I like to use Xbox controllers (doesn't matter if it's first- or third-party) because I like the layout, it's just comfortable to me. However I've noticed that on all my controllers in the past few years, the left thumb stick will start to "give out" over the course of a couple months. For instance I'll be pushing it forward all the way, but it won't register for some reason and my character will only move a little bit. Sometimes wiggling it a bit will fix it, sometimes it doesn't. And it's not like I'm squeezing the hell out of the controller or mashing the stick constantly; in fact it's made me try to be more delicate with my controllers, even though I'm just playing the games normally. Is it just how controllers are, or am I just getting the shit end of the stick?
