I can hear the Out Run music in my head like it’s been yesterday. No way it’s been 40 years…

Oof, turning 32 next month. Played almost all games from 2006, bit of a reality check haha.

orbitz,

Talk about feeling old I played almost all the games until 2006, but fewer of the list after and hardly from the 2016 one. Not trying to one up but figured good place to comment.

It’s been a fun time seeing progression over the years, haven’t stopped playing since my first Gemini (Atari 2600 knockoff that played the same games) system. Going from 2d squares to a proper video representation has been awesome. I always enjoyed the graphic improvements the gameplay has had its ups and downs but the remembered ones did that part right.

Factorio. It doesn’t matter how you are playing it, you are doing something wrong and that invalidates your whole base.

als,

I finally properly started space age 2 days ago and feel like I know nothing again and have been cooking up spaghetti since

VonReposti,

I’m pretty sure it was yesteryear that all the kids were hazardously catching Pokémon outdoors while staring blindly into their phones.

BoiLudens,

To be fair I’ve aged 30 years in the past 5

Assuming you don't live in Japan, Red/Blue actually is slightly more recent than OP led you to think. JP Red/Green was 1996, but international Red/Blue was 1998. Assuming you don't live in Japan, you get two years of youth back.

With headphones.

I only accept the 1989 Nintendo version of Tetris as “Tetris.” Anything else is incorrect.

That said, there was a flash game in the early 2000s called Supertris that was amazing and held global high score lists. I played the shit out of that.

I would love to get an audio player on my old Powkiddy V90. It sucks as a gaming handheld. But it’s small, has a headphone jack, and a physical volume wheel. That would be awesome.

REDACTED, do games w Why is Valve being sued for almost $900 million, but Epic Games wasn't sued when they bought Rocket League and Fall Guys to remove them from steam?

because of the anti-competitive price restrictions that Valve often imposes on game developers and producers (the Price Parity Obligations). This means a publisher or developer would not be able to list a game on another platform as well as Steam, unless the prices offered on Steam is the same or lower. This applies to games on all other distribution stores (including online and physical stores) not just those distributed by Steam Keys

Textbook anti-trust lawsuit. Different from what Epic does, I doubt they impose such rules on developers.

I am still playing Fall Guys via Steam

The Dark Souls series takes place in a fascinating universe and I’m sure the lore is enthralling… I just refuse to play games that are made artificially hard for the sake of it. If it’s single-player, the devs shouldn’t have an opinion on how much time each player is comfortable wasting on it. Give me “story” difficulty, cheats, etc., and let me decide what to do with them. All you’re hurting are your own sales.

fyrilsol,

Agreed.

I love dark fantasy as a theme. But I can't enjoy the theme if the game is going to be padded like that. That's how you make games not fun and there's nothing fun when you're killed in one or two hits. There's challenge and then there's not fun and all soulslike games fall into the not fun part.

duelistsage,

Part of what makes Souls games fun is that you can work together with others.

I pretty much only play them co-op.

Tetrips, or maybe it was Tetripz, I can’t remember, it’s been years. It’s Tetris except with crazy video effects that supposedly simulate being on various drugs. It’s a lot harder to play when the whole screen is flashing and bouncing and twisting.

In the time since Quake released, common rendering systems and resolution options on monitors have changed. ID’s solution to put it back on Steam was some gargantuan monolith wrapper that might’ve used Unity or something, and ties to an online ID, so that it could release on consoles. The open source community’s solution was to take the original, open-source engine release, and port it upwards. Playing through the recent Quake Brutalist Jam 3, a map pack using a set of reinvented weapons and altered enemies, they recommend you use the “ironwail” source port, which even has a native Linux build.

I’m playing QBJ3 via Linux version of Ironwail right now, can confirm it works flawlessly. I think it’s something like 70 hours long? According to Vinesauce anyways. I’ve barely begun lol.

The picture with the red gamjng handheld shows a TRIMUI Brick Hammer, right?
I’m so looking forward to receiving mine and installing Songo#5 on it 😊

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

No, its just the Brick, not the metal Hammer version!

So, almost the same, but your version of is has some improvements (and a nice metal body!). You’re going to love it when it arrives!

zergtoshi,

if you’re playing FFXIV, especially on Linux, don’t bother with the official launcher/updater. Use XIVLauncher, hell even use that if you’re playing on Windows. Updates a hell of a lot faster plus you also get the dalamud stuff which adds a few quality of life plugin improvements.
