I never played the game, so I’m not sure what SnapMap is (Fandom says it’s a map editor), but there is a note in the “Details” that says SnapMap cosmetics are unlocked by default. Is that something else?
The writeup mentions GoG, but I don’t see any mention of the fact that Sim City 2000, Sim City 3000, and Sim City 4 are all currently on sale. You can get all three for less than $10 out the door.
Ok, I’m loving the idea of making cases for my GoG backups. I didn’t see a reference to the community. Can you provide a link?
Edit: I found this page, which has a dead link to the “up-to-date” list.
I realized a while ago that it’s not actually the physical media I care about; it’s the unfettered access. Physical media is just the easiest way to achieve that. I still buy from steam and pay for streaming, but I recognize that those could be taken away at any time. I want to feel like I actually own something. I buy digital music because I get a DRM-free file. I buy from GOG because I get an installer that I can store locally for as long as I want to.
When it comes to movies? I have to buy the disc because (almost?) no one offers a DRM-free video file that I can store locally and play whenever or however I want.
I mean… Which Judgment Day? The obvious answer is T2’s Judgment Day of August 29th, but the timeline is so complicated that there’s at least one Judgment Day in September.
Ok. I bought the bundle, but I haven’t heard of any of the games. Are there any that are a “must play”, or do I just add them to the backlog?
Edit: I briefly tried a couple of the in-browser games. What I found was that my French is terrible, and the games need better instructions. I couldn’t do anything in Save the Rioters. Flesh Psychosis is confusing, but might actually be a simple/solid game if I could figure out what I was doing. Macron Dissolution seems to be some sort of political parody quiz game, and I managed to do better than I had any right to do.
Edit 2: I played a couple levels of “RUN: The World in-between”, and it seems like a solid, responsive platformer. I got Super Meat Boy vibes, but I didn’t play it long enough for it to get too challenging.
I enjoyed the original Dino Crisis, despite the clunky controls, but I never played the second one because I wasn’t in the mood to deal with the same interface.
You’re saying the controls are better? I might have to give this a shot after 25 years!
Anyone know how it runs on the Steamdeck? I’m aware that Heroic launcher exists, but I haven’t looked into it yet.
I haven’t played it, but isn’t that what the Minecraft game Oasis is supposed to be?
From what I saw a few months ago, it has a ways to go, but it is playable.
you have a better experience for half the price or less.
And there are no downsides!
I always look forward to seeing your posts, and (based on the comments) I’m not alone. Keep up the amazing work!
The only minor thing I will say is that these info dumps take a long time to parse, and I’m usually looking for shorter content. I often scroll through your posts fairly quickly looking for things that tickle my fancy, but I always go back a second time to see if I missed anything. Also, commenting on a specific section almost requires quoting it to give context. In a perfect world, each section could be separated out into its own post.
But hey, I recognize that would be even more work for you, so it’s not fair to expect it. Just offering an unsolicited opinion. 😜
I really appreciate all of the effort you put into these posts, and I can’t wait to read the next one!
