Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door quite a lot. Also getting back into Minecraft and Euro Truck SImulator 2. And of course, Cassette Beasts.

I’m getting back into Cassette Beasts and still am playing my comfort game, NFS Hot Pursuit 2

Honestly I’m very much a hermit plus I play the game very heavily modded, so I’m indifferent about the update if not worried it might break my mods lol

I think it’s absolutely amazing and I don’t regret spending money on it at all! Maybe it might be worth seeing if it’ll go on sale when the update releases just in case, but if not then I think it’s worth a full-price buy imo.

I can try to help. Are you using Linux or Windows? (I admittedly don’t have much experience using git on Windows)

Assuming you use Linux: usually, what I do is create a folder in my Documents directory specifically for handling Git projects (mostly because I like being organized), then open a terminal window there (right-click and press “Open Terminal Here”) or CD to its directory (for example, if it’s in home/<your username>/Documents/Git, run cd ~/Documents/Git).

Then, go to the github page, click the green Code button, and copy the URL there, which you will use to pull its git repository. Normally, you would then do git clone <git URL>, but the instructions say this uses submodules, so you should instead use git clone --recursive-submodules https://github.com/Mr-Wiseguy/N64Recomp.git. Don’t bother making a specific folder for this project because git automatically does that.

Then, go inside the folder containing the cloned git repository, make a folder inside it for containing the compiled build of the project (name it, say, “build”), move inside said folder, and then run cmake … (you may have to install this package first depending on if your distribution includes it or not) and then cmake --build. I think it then should be done.

I played with my PS2 quite a lot when I was young, particularly because it had a much better version of a game I grew up with (NFS Hot Pursuit 2); it then introduced me to other games I quite liked, such as Test Drive Unlimited.

It sadly broke sometime around early 2018 because I didn’t take good care of it. Now I emulate it but still wish my console worked.

Yeah… I largely live under a rock and vastly prefer indie games (and older/abandoned big-name games) to most of the usual AAA games and live-service games.

Which makes it quite funny when I see so many Gamers complaining about how “gaming is dying” due to the enshittification of mainstream games, when I’m quite happy under my rock and sheltered from all that 😅

I’m a pretty big fan of an online-only game that was killed while I was still in diapers, and I can only play a limited debug build of it that was leaked by a disgruntled developer who was mad the game was shut down. I often wish I had been able to experience it the way it was originally intended to.

I don’t have The Crew, but what I’m seeing lines up very closely to my situation, so I relate to it. And this is a cause I most definitely support, so I really hope this works out. I hate when games end up as permanently lost media…

Christ, Gamergate is still around? :/

I’ve been playing a lot of Broken Reality to get my fix of “retro-style internet simulator” after finishing Hypnospace Outlaw. I’m also getting back into Cassette Beasts, especially after a cool new mod (Living Wirral) released for it.

Besides that, I’ve been enjoying Forza Horizon 4.

I’m VERY tempted to buy Fallout 4: Game of the Year edition due to my hype for Fallout: London (which releases in April of this year), but I’m worried of getting burned if it turns out to be a bad/disappointing mod. :/

From what I’ve seen, Boomer Shooters were actually often developed by Gen Xers (and played by Millennials), and both of them despise being lumped with the boomers - hence why they dislike the term :p

I’m so mad that Citra was also killed because of this. This means that 3DS emulation is effectively dead, since the next best emulator, Panda3DS, can’t run most games…

I already had it installed via Flathub, hopefully it won’t somehow uninstall itself 😅 (Or that I ever need to wipe my system…)

Not that I know of :c If anyone knows, I’d like to know.

I’ve been absolutely obsessed with Hypnospace Outlaw and Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath. The latter has gotten me interested in the retro shooter genre since its gameplay is genuinely really fun (but I don’t really know many such games outside of Doom), while the former has been keeping me in a perpetual state of hype exhaustion waiting for its sequel to come out, which won’t until next year…

I’ve been chronically obsessed with Hypnospace Outlaw…

I bought it but haven’t played it yet, I really need to overcome my laziness and do it 😅

Eh, issues aside, I’d rather have a greedy late-stage capitalist developer than a proudly neo-nazi developer.

Their website is also extremely laggy with all the boatloads of ads they keep covering their pages with. The ads really got extremely out of control and made the entire website completely unusable for me - at least it’s possible to bypass that with BreezeWiki for now…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers. I wasn’t very thrilled about the change…
