Younger generation is lame. We were so awesome. Remember how awesome we were? Kids these days!

No. I already own more games than I’ll ever play. Any new acquisitions are indie or on deep discount, preferably both.

Age of Empires, XCOM, Cities: Skylines, Divinity Original Sin 2, Starcraft, +1 for OSRS.

Can anyone recommend a decent space sim? I’ve talked myself in and out of buying No Man’s Sky a dozen times, and all this shade will probably remove it from my wishlist.

Ah, but it’s alright if the government does it.

No, there’s a surplus.

I broke my own rule and actually preordered something – Diablo 4. Huge mistake.

This would be great job if it weren’t for all the people vibes

For $1000 – what a deal.

“In terms of the Final Fantasy that I think is the ‘most complete’; I believe Final Fantasy 6 comes close, and does stand out above the other Final Fantasies, especially because it was the last Final Fantasy to use pixel art in all of its visual expression,” Sakaguchi said.

Good point. I’m VERY curious to see what lunar lake can do with DDR6.

Couldn’t be worse than Resident Evil 0.

2026 will be the year for me. Let DDR6 and next gen APUs hit mini PCs and I’m there.

Workers rights. Next question.

Whisker Squadron: Survivor

1/10 is still relatively significant. I would’ve figured that figure was lower.

FS-UAE – available for most platforms and FOSS.

I was deep into Strategy and lore – preferring games that ate hundreds of hours. Unfortunately these days my available gaming hours are reduced to a mere handful. It’s difficult to remember everything when I can only play sparingly.

Thus, I’ve resorted to smaller indie games that can be enjoyed in a smaller amount of time, with less of a learning curve. I’m a casual gamer now. What can you do?

Just Google it.

As a PS2 owner, and a lover of the Dreamcast but had to skip a gen because of poverty – I always felt like I made the wrong choice when I went to visit my xbox owning neighbor.

Which is fun, because in my eyes the OG Xbox was just a refined Dreamcast.

They were making enough money, but not as much as they’d like.

Xbox Super Sport.

The game remained the same – it was I who had changed.

Thanks for the reminder that both of these games are sitting in my backlog.

What, don’t you have phones?

I’ll take a 10 hour to finish, passion project by an indie dev over AAA every time.

Call it what it is. At the very least, loot boxes and the like should be considered outright gambling – which is highly regulated.

The science of slot machines is applied directly to some video games. The Molecule of More is worth a read.

Built in malware that phones home to the Kremlin, most likely.

So release a half-baked, half broken turd on time then take 3-5 years to patch it. Got it.

it only got worse

The lasagna or the economy?

76% of statistics are made up, including this one.

Titan Quest is on sale for Playstation. $6 which matches its all time low. Thanks for the recommendations.

You can now adjust the brightness of your PS5 console’s power indicator

Rejoice!

I don’t play Palworld and I haven’t played Pokemon in years, but this was beautifully authored and a fun read.

I don’t remember the last time I saw actual gameplay in a trailer.

True. Also, the joysticks can be purchased separately. 15 for a few bucks IIRC. There are videos of people changing out the gear from the new one and putting it into the joystick soldered onto the controllers board.

It looks like something I could do. I’m not hardware savvy and get the shakes during precision work.
