Don’t forget the Xash3D engine for GoldSrc games (e.g. Half-Life and mods). It runs on everything from a PSP to a PC. And it’s faithful. It relies on the original assets.
I hate it because it’s like they’re trying their hardest to make a shitty storefront.
It’s awful.
I get almost none of the information I need when on a game’s store page. Meanwhile, I get all the info I need and then some on the same game’s Steam page.
It’s like they don’t want to sell their product.
I do definitely appreciate the weekly free games. Sometimes, like this week, they have solid offerings. It’s Dead Island 2 this week, btw.
Because in 2025 people get info about games they are buying from the app store instead of twitch or YouTube or the game devs website. Give me a fucking break dude.
The only way I know anything about the games I buy is by reading the store page. If I have to go looking for the dev’s website, it’s because something has gone wrong.
When I’m browsing, it’s my first stop. I want to see the minimum specs to estimate how well it’ll run, how the devs market their game at a glance, year of release, rating, etc. Then if it looks interesting it’s time for external reviews.
Throw Manic Miners on there. It’s a fan remake of the old Lego Rock Raiders game, and it’s really fun. There’s a custom level builder and I think there’s a browser you can search for other custom levels.
At least they added the rematch feature at the end of a battle. I often find myself stuck on a particularly hard fight for many attempts till I get it right.
Even a SATA SSD is gonna cut that down almost as much as an MVMe! I have both types in my machines and basically… as long as it’s not a hard drive hahaha
Decent speed storage and hardware to match, remove all splash screen bullshit and loading vids etc, kill any other pre menu misc they might have, and yeah … ???
If I’m lucky I can find something new to hyperfixate on to get me out of a rut. Old stuff doesn’t do it for me. Discovered my favorite genre this way actually.
Ugh the bruma mages guild recommendation took me, I kid you not, an entire week. I never got any prompt options after finding the guy hiding and assumed I had to get up enough mysticism to cast dispel on him lmao
After a week of making no progress leveling mysticism I went back and they were like yeah just go get a book or something and I’ll stop hiding
The staff you get is well worth it though, I wasn’t sure what I would use a staff for so I just went with shock and holy shit that staff is the most overpowered thing in my kit. 80 points of shock damage per hit with some 120 charges when full. I only ever take it out when I’m fighting hoardes or doing a boss-like mission because it clears rooms so fast lol
On your last point: If you haven’t heard any rumors about frostcrag spire yet I highly recommend seeking it out. Not trying to spoil anything but there might be more freedom in enchanting than is revealed in the mages guild quests. I could be wrong but its worth checking out either way.
Frostcrag spire is that DLC player house in the mountains, right? I went by there because i remembered it having a Spell Station i was hoping to get to circumvent the price for spell making. But i guess spells just cost cash to make in lore or something.
On the Bruma Quest on the original i did something similar and walked around for a good hour looking for him without realizing i had to talk to NPCs
Yeah its like the mages guild house! I wasn’t sure if the enchanting tables there were different from the rest of the game, I’m too poor to afford the candles lol that kinda sucks it costs money even at the player house. I’m broke as hell in oblivion. I keep finding new player houses right after spending my money on upgrading the last one! Frostcrag is by far the cheapest to upgrade though, I really regret not going there first :(
I go through that but I stay in the menu tweaking the settings until it’s perfect. Then I start the game mess with the settings again only to lose interest in actually playing it.
At my age, I'll pick a game that doesn't require several hours of unfun stuff to get to the fun stuff (endless tutorials, churning, unfun mechanics, git-gud, etc..)
If I want to dedicate lots of times to learn something, I'll pick any of the thousands of half-done projects and abandoned hobbies spread around my home.
Was playing this but my steamdeck is bugging out when going outside in the plain of oblivion after talking to the guy in the round cage. switched to skyrim. the more I play these the more morrowind was like peak elder scrolls for me. I wish they had been smarter with the simplification to not lose the rp aspects as much. I want the temple and mages guild teleports as well as the city conveyances but I could see being able to access them from anywhere once unlocked.
I like to spend all day at work thinking about how much fun I’m going to have playing a certain game when I get home.
Then, when I finally make it home and sit down in front of my computer, I’ll “get to it in a minute” for the next 3 to 4 hours until suddenly it’s time to eat and go to bed. Repeat 5 days a week.
