BTW Steam Sumner sale is going on right now, Robocop for 5 bucks for the win! Id buy that for 5 dollars.


As someone who is 25 I must agree, not only do I not give a damn I actively welcome death. Shitty fucken eyesight not withstanding, I think there’s thinner ballistic glass


I think they may just be a mind melted apple fan boy. Its either that or apple managed to make those Cybermen earbuds from Doctor Who, ya know the ones from the episode with the Daleks and the dimensional rift.


It’s kinda mid, id suggest Tainted Grail if ya want a Bethesda like game. Doesn’t quite scratch the itch but it’s close enough.


Yeah I feel like games like Wasteland, Daggerfall, and fuck it even asteroid would be better. This is more like most popular retro games list.


The remote charge from Red Faction, cant remember the exact name but it was great for embracing my want to dig around and cause chaos.


Elden Ring better classified as an action RPG, to use an analog its more akin to PnP dungeon crawlers in how it approaches its RPG elements. While say Baldurs Gate 3 is closer to an extended campaign PnP game. They are both RPGs but that’s such a broad grouping so as to be meaningful, an atlatl and a welding torch are both tools but there’s no meaningful overlap.



Theyre also going against small gaming hobby stores which while not everywhere they can offer secondary services not reliant on reselling games multiple times. Such as offering LAN parties for old games, table top games, or even movie nights. These are just things I know the shop one of my kin in Arkansas goes to does.


Survival mechanics like S.T.A.L.K.E.R and New Vegas, dont give a damn for building mechanics though unless its simplified down to a simple upgrade system like Skyrim Hearthsfire DLC.


If you asked me what Thunderf00t would look like if he became a priest instead of a scientist/youtuber this is what id imagine.


Sounds like a skill issue. Joking aside I play largely old school games as a baseline, but maybe try playing some newer CRPGs to ease into it like Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny, or really any of Owlcats games. Also it could be worse ya couldve tried playing Arcanum which is rough even for me to play.


I want old games back! Give me more Old School CRPGs damnit, hell give me janky as unpolished Fallout 1 and 2 CRPGs.


Might I suggest playing some modern CRPGs? Rogue trader and Wasteland 3 have a good bit of that, though im pretty sure everyone ends up turning Abelard into an Angron tier melee combatant in Rogue Trader.


Ive met enough old bastards who lived through the great depression and while most of them are dead they wouldve all laughed. One of them got porn banned on a base dedicated to R&D because of the sheer quantity of privates caught jacking their privates in the toilets. That man was my great grandfather who was one leg on the porn smuggling market.


STALKER 2 is okay. Yeah I aint got nothing else besides high grade Slav jank.


Im a Utilitarian to a fault, of course I think the windows 95 version is just as valid. I wear everything down to scrap.


The fact that this business model earns moneu rather than car bombs annoys me.


Its fucking solitaire you can play the old version from windows 95 online for free. This is beyond fucking stupid.


Why, how, the fuck do you add microtransactions to fucking solitaire?!


Which is annoying cause the game world itself is usually pretty fun just to explore.


Honestly im pretty sure every stealth attempt in star wars turns to shit. The only successful one I can think of is maybe some of Kyle Katarns missions, and a single mission in KOTOR 2.


Yeah sounds about right for newer games. Prolly should stick to older and more niche games on that side of things.


Which ones are ya going to? Cause the forums I see are either tech support for various weird issues or in the case of paradox games abject schizo posting.


You can install mods directly into the OG game directory, why OpenMW doesnt tell you that I dont know. Only problem is that ya need to do trouble shooting the old fashioned way.


If you are cool with CRPGs may I suggest Arcanum? Probably has one of the most weirdly in depth magics systems.


Oh its fine on that front, id say it probably has a out as much content as Pillars of eternity. Though I do suspect they will give more endings in time, but that is moreso owlcat being full of perfectionists than anything else.


Its pretty solid but… limited. You can tell just by looking at the map that they intend to fill it out with DLC over the next couple years. Which is honestly on brand for a TRPG based game especially a games workshop IP.

Is it bad that I dont consider it all that bad since expansion modules have been a thing in RPGs for decades and DLC are just a further evolution therein?



I find it fun, gives me an excuse to act like a knowledge goblin and collect new shinies. Just as the Allfather intended.


Hey now some of them are weird ass intelligents. But yeah a lot of them aint that great.


Ya need to play more grand strategy games and CRPGs. Theres plenty to sink your teeth into such as eugenics and war crimes, im thinking specifically Crusader kings and Tyranny with these two examples.



As someone who is into CRPGs I swear to fuck y’all are drowning while we have a nice comfy supply of Kentucky bourbon. The immersive sim guys are ripping up floor boards looking for anything and licking the condensation off of pipes.


This aint a diversity thing, this is a someone in character design needs to be shot type of thing. They all look simultaneous bland, garish, over designed, and under designed. This is a fuckup that ruins folks career’s.


Or youtube, I get far more entertainment watching dankpods replace a cars oil with fucking chocolate than I do watching your average marvel movie. Deadpool and Wolverine was good though.


Ive found some weird but fun games through them ATOM RPG, Bomber Crew, and Dawn of Man come to mind.


Yeah, though my tastes seem to be a rather close to a venn diagram circle with Mandaloregaming which is disconcerting at times. Maybe a bit more post apocalyptia on my part.



I found weird ass games like Age of Decadence because of steam. I dount I wouldve found that lovingly crafted load of slavic jank without steam, or atleast it wouldve been until Warlocracy made a video on it.
