I haven’t played in a couple of years so I don’t even remember all the different weapons. I just loved the challenge. I found the game by accident on steam, tried playing and got totally crashed. It took me couple of months to be able to stand my ground and finish the round in the top half. Really hard but as you say, really addictive. I don’t have that much time for games now but if I do one day I might get back to FoF.
I quit when my hometown Morroc got obliterated on iRO. I’ve tried coming back once right after the server mergers, but I don’t know what kind of methodology they’ve used when determining name conflicts, I’ve lost quite a few character names to what I assume were randoms from other servers banking on taking over the names. Pissed me off way too much. Tried coming back a second time about a year ago, but I was unable to figure out my character account passwords with the warp portal changes and what not.
My best friend and I used to spend summer afternoons trying to figure out the answers to all the riddles on the chests (in Betrayal at Krondor). We sucked at it (lol) but when we finally managed to crack one, the feeling was euphoric.
The music was awesome. I used to listen to the CD while I slept.
I can’t deny that nostalgia has to do with the first two fossils in the list, though I still maintain that I like them more than their latest counterparts in their franchises.
Not Half Life though: it was ~15 years old when I first played it, no nostalgia there.
Still, between the many games I would gladly build a monument to, those are games that I can play beginning to end without getting bored, annoyed or burnt out (as long as you allow me to use the Ship Of Harkinian randomizer for Z:OoT, otherwise replace that game with Perfect Dark ig).
My platinum collection on PlayStation started with Uncharted 1 on PS3. So switching gears to PC and another Naughty Dog franchise is like coming full circle
Beneath A Steel Sky has a help system now you can refer to, and I ended up using it a fair bit. The solutions often just pissed me off though, as they rely on you remembering a one-off bit of dialogue you saw (or skipped) days ago in real time. or were just nonsense.
When I walk around the floor at work now I often see other devs on their phones while they wait for the AI to do stuff. People are getting disengaged are forgetting skills already - this is unsustainable.
I use Arch and its fantastic! Sure some of the multiplayer games with bullshit DRM won’t work (only because the companies will ban you even though the tech is working as expected FU EPIC)
Once you get your system functioning the way you want it, you almost never have to worry about a patch breaking your shit. That is unless you customized your video drivers or the kernel.
Wind Waker holds a special place in my heart after a summer where the Wi-Fi and the AC both went out and Wind Waker was the only game installed on my Wii U. It’s definitely my Second Favorite Zelda
I am playing almost exclusively in linux since 2012 (diablo3 came out, it worked on Linux, i sank an ungodly amount of hours into it.) the only thing that made me reinstall windows was to play counter-strike go on faceit, because their client did not work on linux.
proton made so much, so much easier that it almost became frictionless to play on linux. wine made huge strides before, but it never was so smooth before proton.
what often was a problem where laptops with dedicated and integraded graphics cards, or nvidia cards on rolling release distribution often having issues after kernel updates, which is why i was on fedora for a long time, because there the akmod stuff worked better in my experience.
overall: when it works on the deck its almost guranteed that it runs just as easy on other linux distributions, maybe don’t pick a rolling release distro if you have an nvidia card, and most of the time you can forget about the fact, that you are gaming on linux.
I actually have never seen that show growing up. It took a friend who asked me to babysit and put it on for the child for me to even actually pay attention to it
Hah - I get that. The show wasn’t around when I was a kid and, when I tried to start it as an adult, the first two seasons didn’t exactly encourage me to pursue it. I’m not normally okay with “it gets good in season three” type shows, but a friend convinced me to stick with it and I’m glad they did because it’s now among my favorite shows.
I definitely didn’t click with it like others around my age despite seeing up season 3 I believe, but I totally respect the show and what it is. It had a lot of merit too it and values I think are important for people to learn
I’m sorry if I’m telling you something you already know, but for reference: the creator of AT was explicitly “anti canon” for the first two seasons. In the third they started to be willing to tell a consistent, coherent story. It’s a rough start, but it gets better from there; I understand if you’re reluctant to dedicate more time, but IMHO it’s well worth it.
Whenever I introduce people to Adventure Time, there are a few episodes I recommend. They are generally episodes that don’t require much familiarity with the universe, though said familiarity would enhance the experience.
I encourage you to watch the show in whatever way seems beneficial to you, but if you want suggestions, I’m here for you.
edit: But even if you don’t seek out any other suggestions from me, it’s a good idea to watch the Graybles episodes a maximum of once.
