Boiglenoight,

I played C&C, Red Alert 1, 2 and 3. Tiberian Sun was bad.

Boiglenoight,

I love Red Alert’s, they’re still funny. :D

I thought, in the past, there was a way to swap what region of a game you had from within Steam. For example if you had an account in Spain and you wanted to play the English version of a game due to poor dubbing or whatever.

Could you order a disc version online? The game was removed from the Federal Testing Agency for Media Harmful to Minors (?) in 2011.

Disc versions will not run. Old CD’s won’t work due to DRM stuffs from Microsoft (all of my old games on CD’s like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets PC won’t run on Windows). The only solution would be a no-cd version, but I’d like to avoid random downloads from unknown sources.

Thank you though! :)

No worries. There is a fix pack available for it that has about 2,000 reviews on Steam if you do want to go that route. I would image that would be relatively reputable.

Probably just as safe as the pirated version Rockstar themselves were selling.

Yea, I have seen the article yesterday. Absolutely nuts! :D

The Stanley Parable, although it couldn’t be further from High on Life in terms of its comedy. Personally I don’t love the game but it’s absolutely hilarious.

Fun fact: There’s a fan-made Unity port of the Stanley Parable for PS Vita

I tried the game and it really wasn’t a fun experience for me. It’s just an overpriced walking simulator with some not really funny dialog playing.

All I did was trying to find bugs because I wanted to uninstall after 30 mins, when I figured out it’s not just the start that is slow, it’s the entire “game”

Oneeightnine,

I mean yeah, it’s absolutely that.

@azalty@jlai.lu avatar

High on Life is cool but seems defo overpriced and still has unfixed bugs that can brick your save.

I like to find bugs and do out of bounds in games but here it just broke a lot of things.

CorrodedCranium,
@CorrodedCranium@leminal.space avatar

That’s always a shame. I wonder if there is a mod out there to remedy some of those issues or if they are still rolling out updates.

You could try to use a VPN and make a US steam account, then that might allow you to buy the game

RichByy,
@RichByy@beehaw.org avatar

Thank you for your suggestion! :D But please be careful with buying games on Steam through VPNs, because that can actually get your Steam account permabanned. I don’t know if you can avoid that with creating a new account though, just be careful with main accounts.

Playing Starfield, very fun so far but man it is demanding on my graphics card, barely holding 30 fps.

Also playing project zomboid with friends making our way to louisville.

Seathru, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of September 10th

Still on a space game kick. Finished up Freelancer and started playing No Man’s Sky’s recent “Voyagers” expedition. It’s still got over a month left so I highly recommend checking it out if you haven’t played the game in a while. Just to see whats new; It’s come a long way.

And picked up Hardspace: Shipbreaker on sale for when NMS starts getting monotonous.

Ashtear,

Ooh, was this your first time with Freelancer? It’s amazing that it’s twenty years later and it might still be the benchmark for non-HOTAS space sims.

I enjoyed Shipbreaker much more than I thought I would. Not typically my style of gameplay, but the setting is fantastic.

Seathru,

No, I played it at release and was HOOKED. I remember clearing a 3 day holiday weekend so I could play through the whole thing (for the second or third time) in one sitting.

I had somehow missed that a HD remaster was released a couple years ago, so I gave it a shot and got sucked right back in. Still a fantastic game, even if the cut scenes and voice acting are a little dated.

For anyone who hasn’t played it, it’s abandonware now.

Are you using a VPN? Your ISP may be blocking them.

spiritedpause,

I’m in the US, and as far as I know, ISPs only block websites if the federal government mandates it, in which case all ISPs would have to block it.

ArcaneSlime,

Not necessarily, they can block stuff if they want and some don’t like torrenting. Typically they just limit your speeds and send ineffective letters rather than block the site though, so it would still be weird.

I do this except with github.com/qdm12/gluetun

(which apparently also can be used as a k8s sidecar container, am gonna try this soon as well)

I’m trying this and it seems to be running. If I run curl 127.0.0.1:9091 I get a 403 which is expected but if I try to access the same from another computer on the network then the connection times out, any idea what could be the cause?
