The article reads severely like “old man yells at clouds” against the practice of modding. If people want to modify the experience, it’s their game to play (or ruin)

BAR is peak RTS game. Although lately I’ve mostly been playing Dawn of War for my strategy fix.

I’ve been playing American Truck Simulator, OpenTTD, and sometimes hopping into my playthrough of Stalker Gamma. It’s a simple life.

I’ve been playing Doom again lately (as one does) but I really should take a detour through the other idSoftware games… especially this one

Yeah they don’t want their precious anti-cheat to be tampered with… to protect their microtransactions, which is the real reason they are even making this game in the first place. To make it a vaguely skateboard themed Fortnite skin selling money printer.

Linux IS a lot of work to keep up with. But it’s also way better to use after that work is done. And won’t be enshittified against your will with every update, unlike Windows.

Fucking hell UK. Fuck that stupid ass island and it’s government. 1984 and V for Vendetta were documentaries. huh.

I don’t like that, but I’m still refraining from buying the game altogether because of it’s ridiculous always-online requirement. The predecessor wasn’t like that, and there’s no reason for the singleplayer segments of a racing simulator who enjoyed extreme longevity through modding, to be stuck on remote servers that can and WILL be shut down at some point in the future.

Surprised it took this long to happen. The game was already a shambling corpse after it got sold to a crypto company.

Gran Tourismo 2 and 4, Ridge Racer Type 4, Burnout 3 Takedown and NFSU2/MW. I like a lot of racing games but these are my favorite retro ones.

It’s THPS 3+4 Remaster. They finallt got to make that.

It’s thr reason a SIGNIFICANT portion of users still put up with their bullshit OS on their machines. Doesn’t mean they aren’t shitting the bed with said OS or their gaming divisions.

Splendid! I have a laptop running Arch, and while I did set that one up manually, it was a lot of work. Next time, when I do it on my gaming PC, I’m definitely using Endeavour

I honestly loved it almost instantly, especially with the aspect that each settlement is a short time investment of a gaming session with semi randomized goals and build orders to get to those. While there are still overarching goals for the game as a whole.

It looks real good, but I’m still playing Aginst thr Storm, and will probably give Farthest Frontier a try before goong into this one. Still, it’s on my list!

Yes that’s what I said. PS3 era games and at this point, early PS4 start yo qualify for me. Although still actively developed games aren’t “fully” retro, clearly. I’m still on the fence about calling Bloodbkrne retro, for instance.

Around 2 generations of consoles ago, or around 10 years, whatever comes “first”.

Pokemon or other turn based games that were originally designed for portables usually work great for a commute! Also monster hunter, I played a lot of that on the subway back in the day on my 3DS. Thr PSP games might be easy to emulate.

The exact same bullshit they pulled on Helldivers 2 and all their other recent PC games, for that matter, even the single player ones needing PSN logins and region locks. Don’t buy their stuff.

Of course they did.
