I’ve been replaying Dragon Quest 8 (PS2) on my Steam Deck, and it just fills me with joy. Except for the absolutely bonkers choices they hardcoded for buttons and camera movement. Ah, good times.
I just have all my old consoles, a crt, and an input switcher for composite and hdmi. 7 consoles on my bookshelf and 5 more in my entertainment center. I could probably save a healthy amount of space in my basement with emulation lol
Not exactly sure what the server limits are but something like Valheim could work for a large group of people. It’s an open world sandbox so people can divide up and do whatever they want to on the same server (exploring, fighting, mining, building, farming, etc.) Not sure how far you can get in the game in 3 hours though…
Alternatively you could play some sort of team based shooter but there might be a stark skill difference in a competitive setting.
Apparently the star wars bf classic collection has a 32 player co-op mode vs ai which sounds amazing to me, but I’ve never tried it before
I use a Mister FPGA for emulation of pretty much all 5th gen and older consoles, as well as a ton of arcade games. I like to use it with my CRTs - it has direct analog video output, and it’s highly accurate hardware emulation with effectively zero latency by nature of it being FPGA. It was expensive but it turned out to be right at home in my CRT setup, and I couldn’t be happier with it.
If I had to pick one, Zenos from FFXIV. Incredibly overdone - even in a japanese-game context - hero foil, always used at moments where his presence doesn’t fit the tone and interrupts an otherwise consistent tonal progression.
He among other things wastes much of the catarsis of the story’s ultimate ending in Endwalker by adding a 6-10 minute incredibly boring battle with a ton of exposition for no reason right in the middle of it.
I cannot update this enough. Just completed the Endbringer MSQ, and holy hell. His entire character, premise, every stupid monologue, every cutscene, his entire arc. Banal and awful. Felt like some 6yo on DBZ crack wrote his entire plotline.
I just searched for any reference of Zenos and I’m glad you posted this. His existence serves zero purpose in the story. Zero.
Też korzystam z Mullvada. Ale nie wiem, czy polecam, w trchnikalia się nie wgłębiałem, ale póki co działa i ma bardzo prosty cennik, bez kombinacji typu „kup więcej za mniej“.
Edit:
Komentarz @noodlejetski sprawił, że zdecydowanie polecam!
Nie do końca rozumiem Wasz projekt. Jest opisany bardzo ogólnie, przez co trudno mi go sobie wyobrazić. Czy to na być platforma wspierająca współpracę i wymianę informacji?
Czy waterfall to nie wiem, ale na pierwszy rzut oka wygląda to bardzo mało konkretnie. Trochę taki kombajn podobny do hubzilli. Chyba – nie wiem tego na pewno.
I love the mods and graphical upgrades. For example, the “FFT Complete” hack on PSX is still my preferred way to play Final Fantasy Tactics, and I can get a buttery-smooth 60fps on Link’s Awakening (2019).
Lately I’ve also been dabbling into CRT filters with mixed success. Every now and then I’ll get the nostalgia buzz, but a lot of the time I feel like I’m just looking at a game with visible scanlines. I’ve heard it’s better on 4K displays though, and I don’t have regular access to one.
I got a girlfriend a long time ago to give the game a shot. She had played stuff before- she was playing BioShock on Xbox when we met. The rats by the big drake on the bridge literally made her cry. Felt pretty bad.
(We did eventually finish the game together in co-op, but we’re long since broken up for largely unrelated reasons)
One of my coworkers at some point told my girlfriend she should go in completely blind when she tried DS1, and I agree with that, but she took it to mean she should under no circumstances allow me to explain the mechanics of the game or the UI. She spent nearly two hours in the Asylum without ever getting to the boss’s fog wall because she wouldn’t let me explain that picking her weapon up didn’t mean she had it equipped. Finally I told her there was a big problem she could easily fix and move on with the game if she’d hear me out, but she still wouldn’t hear any of it, and then 30 seconds later I see her on her phone googling “do you need to use a shield in DS1” 🤦♀️
It was really frustrating because DS1 is hands down my favorite game, and I fully expected her to give up at some point but she gave up before she actually got to play the game.
