Looove Dues Ex. I just looked up The Neverhood, and it looks so interesting. Definitely going to need to watch a long play of that.

Omg, thanks for this. I was looking for the name of Gunman and Oni. Played them when I was younger and forgot what they were called.

Mesophar,

Came here to leave the same comment! I have such distinct memories of Gunman, but could never remember the name of the game.

Eidos, I know that name… Anyone remember commandos?

farcaller,

There were quite a few games using the same formula (and improving on it), to the point where I feel Desperados would be my favorite in that genre, not Commandos itself.

I still remember having to reparation my drive and reinstall windows, upgrading from fat16, because commandos wouldn’t fit on either partition.

And009,

Going through Desperados 3 after wastelands myself. Shadow tactic up next.

For me Xcom mechanics is goat. For all my life I’d been into RTS, rise of nations kind.

Commandos remaster is on the way. Maybe I’ll pick it up to remind myself of childhood horrors

TheEighthDoctor,

Alarm! Alarm!

Loved commandos. They’re making a new one. There is a demo out. Probably launched next year.

You save scum because you get too attached to your soldiers, don’t you?

It’s okay. We all do it.

Not as much as you’d think. I keep my soldiers faceless and unattached until they are fairly leveled up. By the the time they get customized, they tend not to get meatgrindered. Usually.

Rumbelows,

Yeah, none of mine get any customisation at all until they make Sargent.

It’s like a trip across Antarctica - don’t give the dogs names!

smeg,

I create them in advance so they appear in game ready-named after my friends so it really hurts when they die

Zahtu, do games w I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store

What about Windows Store 😏

Nikls94,

It seems you don’t know, but we don’t talk about that

I know this is unpopular, but I don’t understand why people care so much about which storefront they use to buy a game. I buy it where it is cheapest.

Hell, Epic takes less of a share of the sale. It is better for devs.

For me, the social aspect of the store I buy games from is irrelevant.

One reason is Valve has put a fuckton of effort into linux support. So for linux users, buying a game on Steam means it’s probably going to work right out of the box. Buying from Epic, it’s a crapshoot.

For example, I spent hours trying to get Red Dead Redemption 2 that I had bought from Epic to work. Never did, something with rockstar launcher compatibility. Gave up and bought it again on Steam, worked the first time I hit play.

Pyrin,

I agree with the sentiment that people should shut up already about the launcher thing. I know it's aggravating, but, there's options.

However when it comes between Steam vs Epic as storefronts, you'd be hard-pressed to try and find anything to like about what Epic has done with their launcher vs the years of hard work and labor for Valve to get Steam to where it is today. Epic's launcher is like where Steam's was - 17 years ago. It's noticeable, you can't hide it.

Cris16228,

Hell, Epic takes less of a share of the sale. It is better for devs.

88% of 1.000 vs 70 of 1.000.000? Which one is better? People don’t like what they did with exclusives. I’m kinda okay-ish if you keep the game you founded locked on your store for a year or 2 but not all the games you get by paying devs to release it exclusive to some shitty launcher

I just wait, not like I don’t have a ton of games to play with. Plus I get to buy it for cheap later on.

If it’s true, that’s pretty sweet.

I’ve seen girls at locals too so it’s not entirely impossible.

It’s just uncommon, much like anything else. Especially so for Yu-Gi-Oh because it’s simply not as popular as it used to be (especially when compared to Pokemon or Magic).

And just to throw this out here, for fun.

My ex and I had so much shit in common it was unreal. We were both miserable and living in hell.

My wife and I have very little in common and we get along swimmingly. It’s actually crazy how much we get along.

She laughs at my nerdy interests and can’t relate to them at all, but she admires the things about me that she can’t relate to and I am the same with her.

Our egos don’t get in the way of anything between us. We don’t bump heads about common interests because we don’t have a pile of them. We’ve actually been able to show each other things we wouldn’t have encountered without each other over this last decade (roughly).

We aren’t exactly opposites because we share political and religious (or lack thereof rather) views. We don’t have many common interests though.

Sometimes I wish I could make her understand this or that about me, and she feels the same way. We make it though.

Based on my experience with my ex, if I found myself single and I met a woman with too many of my interests, I’d run.

Starayo,

I’ve known plenty of girls that play pokemon TCG and MTG, yugioh not as popular in my area. They’re just not as visible about it because guys get fucking weird about it.

I’m thankful I had younger sisters so I (apart from a bit of the usual teenage awkwardness) didn’t get creepy about the opposite sex.

MonkderVierte, do gaming w At least it was unique

My mood: the bluray player that cost €140 10 years back can’t recognize modern blurays with a 20 years old film anymore.

Why did i buy a bluray with a 20 years old film, there’s Netflix? Because they compress to death and you can’t backup the video there.
