I’d prefer 6 with a real Virgil campaign.

Grim Dawn’s Asterkarn diary is the best subversion of this trope.

Here’s one:

Tactics Ogre Reborn came out in late 2022 for Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and PC.

That game is a remaster of another title called Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together, which came out for the PSP in November 2010 in Japan. This puts it 12 years before Reborn.

But the PSP game was itself is a remake of a game with the same name that came out originally for the Super Famicom in October 1995, 15 years before its remake and 27 years before the remaster of that remake.

I’ve missed it until the Reborn remake, which I still need to finish. By the time I get back to it though, they might have put it out a 4th time!

Alexstarfire,

I’m still waiting for the Ogre Battle 64 remake… any day now… any day…

Vipsu, do gaming w If anything, I expect to enjoy them MORE once I can share the interest with my kids
@Vipsu@lemmy.world avatar

Personally I feel that games are just one form of entertainment among many, it’s not all that uncommon for people to have points in their life where binging tv-series or reading books can feel more novel and interesting. It’s also possible that one finds a new hobby or interest that develops in to a obsession taking most of the free time with it.

Sure as an adult you’ll have more responsibilities and less free time to play but I feel that at least for millenials and zoomers gaming in some form or another will persist throught our lives. For some it may be few hours a day, for others it may be few hours a month but it’ll still feel good to pick up that new/old title and have some fun.

Art is essential to the human experience.

Just because we like a newer kind of art doesn’t change anything about that

GreyEyedGhost, do gaming w If anything, I expect to enjoy them MORE once I can share the interest with my kids

I and all my adult children play computer games. I started playing when I was about 6. This graphic is me.

Mathazzar, do gaming w Just finished binging the Fallout show, would recommend

I have many negative options of this show. Ultimately, while Lucy was…okay… Norm and chet had my favorite dynamic and didn’t act like complete morons most of the time.

They seemed to have set out with the intention of making the BoS a slapstick comedy rayher than a serious player consisting of intelligent humans. Especially Knight Titus and Maximus felt like horribly written characters.

I understand them going for humor but… I feel the slapstick nature of it really took away my enjoyment of it.

While fallout has had humor in it, I felt it was backseat to the actual atmosphere of its story of surviving the wasteland. In the series, slapstick seems to be all it is.

Also I don’t understand why they added the thing about ghouls.

I am currently playing TOME4 on a 64GB machine with NVIDIA RTX A2000 GPU. Although technically this is more like uni for me not childhood, I could probably play this game on a calculator.

Donjuanme, do games w The sequel to Kingdom Come Deliverance will be revealed April 18th!

Too many new games! I wish these guys announced in the iii

hperrin, do gaming w Time to play some Ogre Battle 64

I’m playing through Pokemon Blue right now. I started when I had knee surgery last year and I just made it back to Pallet Town. Next stop Route 22.

Man this game brings back memories. I first played through on my original Game Boy. So many batteries because I needed that light attachment.

Piemanding,

You never went back to visit your mother even though you have fly?

hperrin,

Uh oh. Am I a bad son?

Piemanding,

Yes. And if you didn’t let your mother waste all your money in 2nd gen you are even worse of a son.

I have such fond memories of that game and how widespread the Pokemon craze was at the time.

Chasing down pre-internet rumors, learning how to catch missingno, the cards, the show. It’s my favorite generation of Pokemon.

CatZoomies,
@CatZoomies@lemmy.world avatar

I learned about MissingNo back on the playgrounds and read about how to catch him. It said it was risky, but me a kid, tried it anyway thinking what could be the harm.

I caught it! I was scared of losing it, so I hit Save and turned off my Game Boy Color. Booted it up, and my save file was gone. Kid me was crushed, and I chastised myself for being so stupid to risk it despite all the warnings.

My first play through of Pokémon Red was wiped out completely. My first party, my certificate of getting all Pokes (that I desperately wanted to print with a Game Boy Printer my folks never got us), all gone. I spent HOURS trying to find Mew under that damn truck. All of it - gone.

Thanks Obama MissingNo!

Tragic! I luckily never lost my save, as far as I can remember.

KillerTofu, do gaming w Time to play some Ogre Battle 64

I have a friend who just consumes his video games and moves on. I like to replay over and over really wring out that dopamine. He ridicules that I still fire up StarCraft 2 for some co-op maps from time to time, eww he says a 20 year old game?

aeronmelon,

Your friend treats video Games like TV & movies. Most people only ever watch something once.

You and me, we treat video games like music. We find something that resonates with us and we play it on loop, never getting tired of it.

KillerTofu,

Also guilty with music. I’ll find a new ear worm and just play it on repeatpeatpeat.

Jarix,

You people are my people. Thank you

supersquirrel,

StarCraft 2? I mean I still play Total Annihilation or Beyond All Reason, StarCraft 2 is practically a totally new game!

The nice thing about old things is that generally people only bother to keep returning to the good old things and the bad old things fade away and are forgotten, also the communities around old things while small tend to be very friendly and toxic people are muchhhhhh less common than with popular new games.

KillerTofu, (edited )

I mean Battle.net chat is still a trip but somethings never change.

supersquirrel, (edited )

but somethings never change.

I wish this could be said about Blizzard but I don’t think this can be said about Blizzard lol

HappycamperNZ,

Nothing wrong with a bit of total annihilation… just have to play on metal worlds or it gets too slow for me

bitwaba,

I just played sc2 co-op for the first time in 3 years a couple nights ago. Something about making a giant army and smashing it against another giant army is just fun.

Sam_Bass, do gaming w You want the one that's not compensating

More than two buttons is a waste

Aermis,

Not even a scroll wheel?

jol,

I’m severely handicapped without back and forward buttons.

Sam_Bass,

How so?

jol,

I’m so used to it than I break down crying when I miss it. Unless I’m not using a mouse; if I’m using keyboard only I use keyboard shortcuts to achieve the same effect.

Sam_Bass,

Same here sometimes except for the crying

vox,
@vox@sopuli.xyz avatar

also honestly I’d appreciate some extra buttons that are usually left unbound for macros and stuff

Sam_Bass,

Yeah wheels are fine.

K4mpfie,

Browsing without a forward and backward buttons on the mouse is a fucking chore

Sam_Bass,

Maybe if youre handicapped in some way

myxi,
@myxi@feddit.nl avatar

I use those mouse gesture browser extensions. Hold the right-click button, then swipe right or left. It’s probably even more ergonomic than clicking those extra buttons (I have only ever used generic mice). Not that I am against extra buttons for other purposes, though.

K4mpfie,

I often have to run through folder systems on Windows so feature parity is important. At the office I have a mouse who has these buttons “hidden” on the scrollwheel. I can just push the wheel left or right. That’s pretty ergonomic and actually feels quicker than having thumb buttons on the side of the mouse :)

some_guy, do astronomy w I want to be among those who deeply thoroughly understand & can accurately predict the path of future eclipses because this is amazing.

No, it’s a mystical religious sign. Aren’t you paying attention?

@maegul@lemmy.ml avatar

Me too! Always wanted to get into, thinking it worthwhile to have a running solar system or celestial model on your own machine that you know how to operate etc. Just never really tried sadly!

marduk,

I used Stellarium today to see how the eclipse would look from my location, highly recommend it if you want to start playing

maegul,
@maegul@lemmy.ml avatar

Oh yea I’ve used it and from memory it’s awesome as you say. I was more talking about getting into the technical details of running a model and calculating various things of personal interest.

Thanks for the recommendation though!
