Finally decided to get Mass Effect Legendary Edition since it was on sale. It's been such a long time since I played the original ME and I hadn't gotten to the 3rd. Loving every moment so far. Gonna go for a renegade run across all three just to see what happens lol

I told myself the same once but I just couldn’t do it. 😭

Oh I don't doubt it. I get tempted to choose the nicer options but I'm staying firm. I almost never go the bad/evil route in games like these so I'm excited to see how things are going to play out. Probably going to hate every outcome though lol.

In these comments: People who can’t figure out what sarcasm is.

Goronmon,

That or they just don’t like the content of the post?

I haven’t upvoted the post because I’m not a huge fan of the “I’m not like other gamers/posters” style of content and don’t really want to encourage it.

I said nothing of the point value on the post. One can clearly see the comments here and how most of them blatantly took the post seriously (or didn’t actually read the body).

On the internet? There is no way!

I assume that this is sarcasm. However, on the chance that it’s not, why would you let internet strangers determine what you think is fun?

aCosmicWave,

You are right. I will keep the device. Thank you internet stranger!

CaptObvious,

For gods’ sakes don’t make me the arbiter of fun!

aCosmicWave,

How else will I know if I’m truly enjoying something? You seem like you know what you’re talking about.

rysiek, do zapytajszmer w Jakie oprogramowanie byście polecili do zrobienia webinaru bez użycia własnościowych rozwiązań?
@rysiek@szmer.info avatar

Pytanie ile masz czasu/zasobów, i jak webinar miałby wyglądać (na żywo? nagrywanie ekranu?). Ale opcje do rozważenia:

  • Jitsi
  • BigBlueButton
  • Nextcloud Talk
  • OwnCast

Jest też na pewno mnóstwo innych narzędzi.

Przy czym samohostowanie Jitsi to nie jest tak prosta sprawa, ma dość konkretne wymagania.

lysy,

Webinar na żywo. No też słyszałem tak, jak @harc pisze, że Jitsi ma konkretne wymagania.

Nic, co Ci pozwoli zrobić webinar na żywo dla iluśtam osób, nie będzie lekką sprawą. Wydaje mi się, że OwnCast może to być najlepszą opcją, pytanie, czy to będzie interaktywny webinar.

Remote play is an absolute godsend.

I figured it out on my Galaxy Tab A a few years ago, which required you to tether your controller. Then this past January, when I ruptured my Achilles Tendon, being able to run Xbox Series X, Playstation 5 AND Steam games from my Steam Deck in bed was HUGE!

That being said, I don’t see the need to buy another device to do what I’ve already been doing…

Remember to also apologize to the post office handling the return.

Back in the day, I installed Chex Quest on our computer and then tried to uninstall it later on. The base files were removed, but the PC always showed a listing for that game in the Add/Remove Applications section.

The ghost of Chex Quest haunted that PC until we moved on from it.

  • Battlefront & battlefront 2 first and foremost for sure. Classic battles for socializing, space battles for crash fun, single player galactic conquest
  • Battle for Middle Earth 2. Big improvement over 1 and you could play as anyone, although Men was outrageously overpowered
  • Unreal Tournament 1999
  • Starcraft: Broodwar. We were shitty turtle players, but so much fun
  • Warcraft 3 (mostly dota, twilight’s eve, and TD)
  • CS 1.6 and CS:S
  • Mario kart double dash
  • super smash Bros melee
  • Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
  • Pokemon Emerald

They don’t make games like that anymore, but then again, it is definitely 75% nostalgia and the good times with friends that I had during those years instead of the actual games.

Now we are stuck playing CS2 online getting rolled by kids on shitty comp servers with 100+ ping 1 day per month or so because there is a 7 hour time difference now. Because online games without sweaty, toxic communities are pretty far in between. Miss the days when video games were fun lol

UT 99 was the best. So much fun with Pulse Rifle combos! CS beta 8 was the end of a era.

Goronmon, (edited ) do games w What were your top favorite video games as a kid?

Super Mario Bros 3 is probably the first game that comes to mind as I was finally old enough to really get excited for specific games, and that one was hugely anticipated at the time. The whole game blew my 7 year old mind (think thats the math at least). Up until that point it was mostly grabbing games based on their box art at the rental place, or based on what looked cool in those displays in Toys R Us. And you played those whether they were good or not. That wasn’t the case with SMB3 though.

Super Mario World is probably the next example, for similar reason as above but even bigger and better. Then into the Donkey Kong Country games. Final Fantasy VI was another game that blew me away when I first saw it. That intro was crazy when you still considered the SNES a new platform. Pokemon Blue for the Pocket I got specifically to play it.

Played lots of the original Diablo, though I was terrible at it back then. Actually didn’t like Diablo 2 that much when it was first released, but got into it again years later. Baldur’s Gate 2 was fun for a while, but never beat it (and didn’t play the first until much later). Lords of Magic was a game I played the crap out of but was terrible at the game as well.

If we are just talking about time played then games like Baseball Stars, Excitebike, Track and Field with the Power Pad, etc. You just played the shit out of every game you owned back then. Because you only got them once or twice a year.

That comment really got to you huh 😂. I agree though if you get a benefit from it it’s not a waste. I did have one thought while reading this and the related thread… Why not just use an iPad and your dualsense?

aCosmicWave,

I don’t have an iPad 😆

And the experience of using a dedicated device for the task seems more pleasant to me anyway. I did try the Backbone but it annoyingly required me to take the case off my phone every time I wanted to play.

Bad troll, 2/10 (2 since it was written decently I guess). Now the real question is, Why don’t I have a downvote button?

Drivebyhaiku, do games w What were your top favorite video games as a kid?

Played a lot of games… But the NES didn’t really have that many standouts for me. I could write an extensive list of games I played for a lot of hours but out of the raft of games there wasn’t many that particularly were a favorite more like a dichotomy of whether each bit of the list enjoyable and not. The SNES was definitely Super Mario RPG, Donkey Kong Country and Chronotrigger but it was the N64 that got me games that I replayed like crazy.

Zelda Ocarina of Time, Majora’s Mask, Super Smash Bros, Harvest Moon 64, Snowboard Kid’s 2 and Diddy Kong Racing made the top of that list. Those were fucking awesome games.

By the time I got a PS2 I was technically an adult and Nintendo never really recaptured my heart like it did when I was a kid. I have been a playstation loyalist since then but that N64 still has a spot in my basement.

You should check out the Brutal Doom add-on for Chex Quest. Just be wary as the Doom modding rabbit hole runs deep.

I’ll have the check out the HD version, looks pretty cool so far!

Grangle1, do games w What were your top favorite video games as a kid?

The original Genesis Sonic trilogy was a constant replay for me as a kid and even on occasion now as an adult. I loved the visuals, the music, learning how to master every level, playing as the different characters. It was all so good to me.

As someone who only got into retro RPGs like Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger as an adult, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time was the first game to show me how games could tell an epic story. There is a reason it was held up as one of the greatest games ever made during its heyday and even holds up well now. It had huge varied environments for its time, memorable scenes and characters, and IMO a perfect difficulty curve to its dungeons and puzzles. Even after playing many of the later Zelda games, it remained my favorite Zelda game until Breath of the Wild.

And of course, the original Smash Bros 64 started off the ultimate fun party game series, my siblings and I spent hundreds or even thousands of hours playing Smash 64 and Melee growing up.
