It has been ages since I played something on PC (I don’t have a gaming one) but that is crazy to me lol.

Is it not possible to just put the .exe files into the desktop (not shortcuts).

I know you used to be able to do that, but I don’t think it works anymore.

The exe is typically a tiny part of the actual game files, so no.

Perhaps the entire folder of the game on your desktop? I do remember to have done something like that before lol.

bleistift2,

I tried that with Tropico 5. The .exe launches the Kalypso launcher. When you press play, it launches the steam launcher, which then launches the Kalypso launcher again. When you then press play, you get to play the game.

(This is from memory. Details may vary.)

Kecessa,

Depends, DRM free games yes…

I hear there’s a website for that… amazing how you can get anything drm-free if you know how to sail.

What it the game with the guy with a gun behind a container?

Yeah that’s the only one I can’t identify. And the bulldozer may be Blast Corps. but I’m not sure.

telllos,

Yes, probably blast corp. What an amazing game this was!!

Rakonat,

Thought it might be vigilant 8 but could be wrong. Been a looong time.

Jessica,

I just skimmed through the entire list of N64 games and I couldn’t figure it out. It looks like time crisis, but none of those were on the N64, and the only on the rails shooter I am aware of is sin and punishment, which doesn’t look like that. The only thing I could think of that’s even in the ballpark is Duke Nukem.

telllos,

I think you’re right!

Why not

RacoonVegetable,

Because then he wouldn’t be able to go to space

That screen alone scared the shit out of as a kid, looked like something out of the Exorcist

MonkderZweite, do gaming w How can it be so bad?

That thing triggered a “too much open files” for me, while the games didn’t.

Not familiar with the titles on the right are this the font style names or actual game names?

dejected_warp_core, do gaming w A message from your backlog

Unpopular opinion: a lot of games have an artificial massive skill cliff right at the game’s climax that ruins the mood.

Some people collect platinum trophies and call it done, I hit about 99% and call it done. We are not the same.

Edit: Example - Dark Souls. I flew through the game with a bastard sword, medium rolling and smashing everything in my path. Can’t beat Gwyn because I never learned to parry. Yeah, I need to get gud, but that’s hardly a sane skill progression, even for Dark Souls.

@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

I’ve played all the souls games, bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden ring (and love them all), and I’m complete ass at parrying. Aside from Sekiro where you have to, I never really learned. I’ve just beaten every single game by dodging or blocking.

dejected_warp_core,

Point taken. Guess I should dust off my save and give it a go. Thank you. :)

blocking

Oh no, we don’t do that here.

@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

Lol, it’s more of a desperation move when there’s some attack that I just can’t figure out how to avoid.

I only have the new one, that was made for VR. It can be played in flat space, but you can tell they did very little to make it work. The text is so small on a regular screen I can’t read a god damn thing.

I never played the original, but I suspect it’s probably better in every way except for the visuals (other than having readable text I mean).

Dwarf Fortress is my favorite game of all time now, though. It’s not old, but it just uses ASCII or tilesets. And I’ve been playing since version 3, using the default ASCII because I think it looks more interesting than the tiles.

There are games where everything about them sucks but I still love them.

Body Harvest for the N64 is a classic in my head.

In Synthetik 2 enemies have some of the same quirky ability items the players have and it feels… Oddly unfair.
