Somehow, our gaming habits keep overlapping. I just started playing Minecraft again a few days ago. However, I’m playing “All The Mods 10”. I’ve been focusing on creating an aesthetically pleasing factory this time. So far, I have a cozy house with a workshop. My mineshaft is behind the house, and it’s my starter shack converted into a garden shed.
I highly recommend playing with a mod pack on a return playthrough. You can still do all of the vanilla stuff, but the experience is also expanded upon with things like steam quarries, programmable mining bots, digitized wireless storage, blood magic, dimensional travel, and cozy kitchens with in-depth cooking.
I used to dive pretty hard into Feed The Beast, but All The Mods seems to have taken over it. The big thing with these packs is making all the mods play nice with each other, so they can share resources and be cross compatible.
I recall one pack where the world was a wasteland. All the ores were depleted, and the oceans were toxic. You had to figure out how to try to grow crops, make survival gear to explore, and eventually make mystical crops that could produce tiny bits of ores that you could harvest.
I never even made it to the End though. Haven’t played in about 10 years so this will be vanilla. There’s enough new stuff to discover to last me years if I even get into it at all.
You should do it! It’s a good time. I’d recommend Prism Launcher if you’re doing mods (or playing on Linux).
If you’re looking for a legacy console experience though you can do the 4J Modpack on Java (I’ve heard good things about it) or run it through Xenia, RPCS3, or CEMU.
Most if not all version of Minecraft can be played. I think the only one I haven’t been able to play is Bedrock edition PC and that’s only because it needs windows 10/11 and I use Linux.
I will be playing Linux vanilla Minecraft if anything, I believe. I haven’t played in probably 10 years, so the basic experience will be plenty new for me as it is. 😅
You should share a picture of the factory! When I play with create with friends I’m that guy and always make factories for my stuff so I love seeing a good factory
Star Wars Jedi Knight I and II: Jedi Academy and Jedi Outcast (Not stable) - OpenJK github.com/JACoders/OpenJK
Despite the official name being “Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy” it is not Jedi Knight I. It is actually a sequel to Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. It came out only a year after JO and was announced in April. At first I thought it was an April Fool’s joke because the screenshots looked like something that could easily be made with the mod tools at the time.
It wasn’t called Jedi Knight III because you play a different character.
Anyways, the real Jedi Knight I was “Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II”. An open source implementation is available at github.com/shinyquagsire23/OpenJKDF2
And to round it off, the open source implementation of Dark Forces is available at theforceengine.github.io. I think it even supports the remaster.
I actually really appreciate someone clarifying the chronology of these games, I’ve got them all in my steam library and can never remember the order they go in.
Do the OS remakes have any QoL improvements? I tried playing through them recently and had a very hard time with the manual save system since I’m used to autosave points in linear games like that.
Honestly anything to deal with the horrendous friction and instability of the original would be welcome. Even modded I think I had to stick with 4:3 which even with black bars was still not quite right on my modern system. It would have to be a better experience, even if I have to re-learn manual quicksaves.
Got them working, and was pleasantly surprised to find most of them had flatpak installers! Manual saving is still a pain but the engines running smoothly does make a big difference.
Although the dark forces installer doesn’t work with the steam install so you have to copy the game data to the data folder to make it work.
I like the look of the white custom title cards but whenever I get to a game that doesn’t have one it ruins the theme and I end up changing them back…
Also if Old School Rally does come to GOG I would buy it in a heartbeat. Colin McRae Rally (and 2.0) are some of my all time favorites and I still play them regularly.
Ohhhh maybe that is why I found a user elsewhere offering to pay for people to design some game covers for specific titles with the similar white font idea?!
(and me too, I played Colin McRae with my papa a lot and I just love it, you can make it look amazing with emulators these days!!!)
Some other bangers are the entire Silent Hill 3 sound track (You’re Not Here and I Need Love are my personal favorites) and My Dark Disquiet by Poets of the Fall from Control.
