People I know (not PC gamers obviously) balk at the sight of me playing a PS1 game on today hardware.

“Why would you play a game that old on such a powerful computer?”

“That’s obvious, upscaling exists, and games from this era were/are more complete, entertaining and bug-free than most things released in recent years.”

“Huh… Guess that makes sense.”

Is usually how it goes anyway.

oh fuck, those beautiful manuals just came rushing back into the surface from the depths they were buried under.

I think there is something to respect about both types of games these days.

Yes, there was no online play or updates, so they couldn’t steal back the game you paid for because they decided to stop supporting it one day.

Hey you need a beefy pc to get the mega bezel shaders with reflections on the fake crt to work properly.

Doom II, Factorio, Fallout 1-4, and Minecraft.

Who do I need a top-tier PC? The ten year old rig I build still runs them like a champ.

I like playing newer games which all require pretty beefy rigs. I have a weak GPU so I can’t play most new games but it does make me sad.

So you can megabase Factorio.

Project Brutality is a lovely mod for Doom fans.

Fallout 1 and 2 are god tier. I‘ll throw in planescape as well, since the teaser for it came with Fallout 2 (I think). Like what you want, I like bmovies more than regular movies, but OG fallout is so much better than the skin husk that gets worn these days.

I feel like the dude in the wrestling meme with this post haha, it’s still real to me damnit

So you’re just about finished with the character creator, then. Don’t worry, Hadvar is a patient man.

This meme makes me miss the button we used to have on the front of PCs to slow down the CPU, so that some games could be played.

Me with Battlefront Classic if they hadn’t fucked up multiplayer so bad that I refunded immediately.

Hah I’m much the same. Makes the whole 60fps minimum argument laughable when you’re playing games nowhere near that and completely enjoying them.
