I mean, look at Nintendo. Obviously aggressive legal tactics aside, they make some damn fun games because they know that gameplay matters more than graphics.

Well, I seem to like first-person shooters:

but realistically, I have like, many dozens of games with like 30-80 hours played, I’m really into variety gaming.

The only exceptions to this are RuneScape (OSRS and RS2 back in the day), World of Warcraft (I played a ton of Cata until maybe a year before Legion), Starcraft 2, League of Legends, and Osu.

There are tons of good games always coming out even recently, unless you only like multi-player games.

On areweanticheatyet.com it seems like the percentage of denied/broken keeps getting higher and higher :(

I guess it makes sense, new games come out with anticheat, and rarely do new games come out without anticheat.

People used to think so highly of CEOs, that they must be doing something right if they got to where they are. They must be smarter and have all the answers.

Now people are realizing CEOs are just rich scumbags.

That’s one thing I really hate and why video game preservation is so important. We need to keep games alive forever so future generations can enjoy the classics and all the masterpieces out there.

They’re creating the one thing they want to destroy. lol

They even admit that pepe can be used in perfectly normal ways, yet they show it’s the number one most used one. That’s crazy to me lmao

But Zionism isn’t a religion, it’s a nationalist movement.

I laughed way too hard at this lmao

I mean, they are located in Japan, so it’s not like Yakuza don’t exist (though to be fair Yakuza don’t really target foreigners).

That’s true, but that wasn’t my point. My point was that the majority of the population voted for someone who does have white-supremacist ideals - whereas Biden and Kamala do not.

America is a white-supremacist country.

I know that sounds controversial, but that’s the ideals of the president elect of the country, who won the popularity vote.

There are dozens of us!

Damn, that’s crazy. Here I am being happy that I have their older consoles that I’m still playing their best older games, even with modding them and using flashcarts too etc. I guess retro gamers are a bit of a dying breed, but there’s still some people out there like me.

The weird thing is, corporations can’t even make any money from these older games. I guess they think that means people who can’t play older games will just buy their newer garbage, and yet that’s not how it works at all lol people just end up buying indie games instead these days.

Is the source code for HG/SS the latest or is it from an earlier build?

No other company aggressively goes after its fans quite like Nintendo does. Nintendo have not only gone after fan projects made by fans showing their love for their beloved games, but also gone after community-run tournaments that in no way affect Nintendo, etc. Nintendo are pretty awful.

Gen 4 was peak IMO, both the new Pokemon were excellent as well as the best remakes ever made. Gen 4 has Platinum and HeartGold SoulSilver which are the best games in the series.

That has to be a real wake up call to Nintendo.

That’s optimistic thinking. Nintendo doesn’t learn, they just bulldoze.

$100 LOL

They really, really, really, really earned it.

I think it is fair. When you buy games through GOG, you get the offline installer. Nobody can take that away from you.

When you buy games through Steam, you can only install them via the Steam client. If the Steam servers are offline, you cannot install your games. In theory, some games are without any DRM, and you can just zip them up, but even then that doesn’t always work, and you shouldn’t have to. That’s not to take away from Steam, of course, it is great at what it does.

Providing an offline installer that works no matter what is as good as “owning” the game IMO, even if “technically” you are just purchasing a license to use the game.

Obviously those claims are overblown lol, AIs literally cannot think. They are currently LLMs. They are impressive, sure, but anyone knows the technology knows that this is NOT AGI, and it is entirely possible we will never get AGI. It’s also possible we will get AGI, but this ain’t it. lol

That would be so unfortunate, I would definitely hate that!

Plus, there’s always piracy. With that said, I generally prefer the older games anyway.

They should have added a battle tower, that’d add a lot more replay value and keep people coming back years later.

Source: Pokemon games like the DS generation of Pokemon games.

That is honestly the most true picture ever lol

Remember when everyone though the PS3 was insane at 599 US dollars?

That’s because it WAS insane at 599 US dollars lol that’s worth like $900 US dollars in 2024.

Yeah, people thought the PS3 was insane at 599 US dollars because it WAS insane at 599 US dollars lol

My PS4 controller doesn’t even pair to my Linux desktop, I’ve tried just about everything you can think of but it only works via USB cable. My Xbox 360 controller, Xbox One X, and Xbox Series X controllers all work on Linux just fine and work better on Linux than they would on Windows thanks to xpadneo.

But there’s more than one currency.

I shouldn’t do math right when I wake up.

That’s 36% but I’m sure it’s higher in some other currencies. 50% would have to be 16.

edit: This is the worst comment I have ever left on this website. I’m leaving it up so people can see what happens when you do math early in the morning. Embrace it, learn from it, live with it.

OP said it’s 20% to 56% depending on currency.

Does anyone know of a good open-source launcher? I know there’s FastDraw and Olauncher, but I wouldn’t mind having some more alternatives to try out just to find one that truly works best for me.

Well yeah, they always want to squeeze more water from a stone. They need every last drop.

I’ve been playing Pokemon SoulSilver and Pokemon Y on my 3DS. It feels good to play older games again.

Yep, these companies are so dumb, and then they go under. It’s impressive really. They just end up being out of a job and nothing to show for it.

A live-action Halo that was proud to not follow the games was a terrible idea. They did not care at all about following the source material, they did not care about wanting to make something good for Halo fans. If it had been better executed it could have done well.
