The neck tie has the appeal of flapping around in the wind.

I have absolutely no idea. It’s an old meme. But since it’s hentai I think it is probably exactly what it sounds like.

The intro was cool. When I played it I thought “nice, they’re going back to Diablo 1’s atmosphere”. Then the rest of the game happened.

I just don’t get why they didn’t think of quickly porting the Xbox interface over to desktop Windows. Should have been an easy fix to make handheld gaming on Windows more appealing.

Ah, that makes more sense.

I think the timing of this news coming so close after Valve announcing the SteamOS beta shows that Microsoft might actually be afraid.

Back before AMD bought ATI (and during the transition) nvidia was actually much better than ATI. For my previous desktop I specifically bought an nvidia card for the better Linux support.

I also wasn’t so worried about my laptop having an nvidia GPU either. And then it kept crashing after being suspended to RAM. Stopped after switching to the integrated Intel graphics. Sadly nVidia doesn’t care about old or laptop graphics.

Yeah, nvidia started open sourcing their kernel interface. But it only works with new GPUs and not the millions of 1080s people still have. Plus the license of nvidia’s closed source drivers (which are still needed) forbid them from being included in an OS image.

Small projects like Bazzite might get away with including them anyways but I bet Valve will have to make a deal with nvidia.

edit: With nvidia releasing their cloud gaming client on SteamOS I just now realised that that is probably a direct result of this kind of discussions.

Are there handhelds with nvidia GPUs? That might be the big distinction.

I remember them investing into x86 emulation. I think the rumors suggested that it’s for Deckard, their next VR headset. If that is true it should be a short jump from there to phones.

And vice versa.

Yeah, I’ll definitely check it out when it’s out of EA. PoE 1 is already great.

Don’t have the energy or money for a new game at the moment, though.

Diablo 2: Resurrected

Actually played it while watching the fireworks.

I so much want this to release before Bethesda’s own remake and be better.

I remember mostly liking it. More than HL1. I don’t remember much beyond the bootcamp and how you could use your squad.

I’m not worried about MachineGames (although I’ve never played a game by them). I’m worried about Disney stepping in and attempt to micromanage everything with their greedy corporate bullshit.

Great, that means a stupid watered down bland sequel is coming.

I remember that one. I played for two days, got nothing done, and left.

Unreal and Unreal Tournament (the latter only has single player with bots) got officially free the other day. You can get them at https://oldunreal.com/.

No One Lives Forever has been abandoned for a while. You can get them at http://nolfrevival.tk/.

I just subbed to [email protected].

I’m pretty sure there are tons of people like that. It’s the same for me.

Oh yeah, Goat Simulator is hilarious mayhem!

Maybe Minecraft in creative mode without monsters.

For kids this young Gcompris on a PC or Android device is always great.

And with all of that they never repeated their GTA 5 giveaway.

I got Life is Strange: Double Exposure. It was meh. Not super bad but had enough bugs to push it in that direction.

After that I played The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow which was phenomenal.

Thank you for your service! o7

I miss my N900. ☹️

Yeah, it’s pretty normal for Nintendo to make a slight improvement every two consoles. Also see the Wii and Wii U.

I thought Path of Exile was done by ex Diablo 2 devs.

Be nice, it doesn’t have any other games.

I got our engagement rings from a gumball machine. And I didn’t even pay for those myself because I didn’t have the necessary 20 Cent coins. A passerby gave me three and didn’t accept a Euro in return.

They did that with StarCraft. The original is free and the remaster is paid

Replayed it the other day. It’s great. One of my favourite adventures.

Darkside is considerably harder. It’s easier when you finish Clouds first but you quickly reach a point where it also gets harder. I think a balanced party composition is also even more important.

When I was a child I didn’t understand that it was turn based. So whenever there was a monster I rapidly clicked the fight button without much regard to strategy. Made it even harder. Don’t think I managed to beat either game back then.

World of Xeen

For the hardest dungeon you have to solve a crossword puzzle. In the game you can read a long story that contains all the answers but the puzzle is in a huge labyrinth far away from that story and it would be too tedious to change back and forth between the two.

The manuals of the games (it’s actually two games combined into one even larger game) have dedicated blank pages for notes at the end. I also had the way to the boss of the second game written down there.

Back then it was quite common for RPGs to have space for notes in the manuals.

Probably too much salt.

I actually think a 2D fighter game would fit them well. They have a huge roster and I think a fighter game is easier than a full blown RPG.

You’re supposed to be in bed. No game for you!

The antagonist in Blade Runner.
