    Indie devs are fucking killing it, though. A lot of bangers have been coming out.

    I’m currently obsessed with How Many Dudes? That game is so much fun.

      Have you heard of agent 64: spies never die? I’m curious if anyone around here has played it and what their impressions are.

        I played the Steam NextFest demo back in (damn…) 2022, and it felt like playing GoldenEye back in 1997. I don’t know if they can keep that level of quality for an entire game, but the demo was really promising.

          That sounds promising, it’s not really my genre but I’m sure tons of people are looking for a game in that vein.

      The newest console I have is a ps3. I had been playing Final Fantasy 13 recently.

      I’m thinking of getting a ps4 though maybe for cyberpunk or no man’s sky?

      You could, or gog have a much better refund policy than steam. You could even refund it and keep the offline installer if you really wanted to, of course you won’t get updates and it isn’t really the idea of it. I think they do block you eventually if you keep abusing it for everything.

    I got a XP PC for playing Sims 2 and 3, especially 3 is such a mess that it don’t really work on anything else, even if it kinda runs… Also some Lego games and such I used to play as a kid. Well, anything XP era runs, obviously. Just stick/disc it in.

    Now I have been cleaning my PS3 (stolen from an ex, added in a bigger SSD) and buying some used games on it from trift stores, for about 2-3€ a piece… Looking forward for playing that new (for me) GTA! (IV) We also have like… two PS1s and at least two PS2s. I also still have my PS4, but gonna sell that once I get around. I need money for my offline Linux PC project… Chose a case that requires a single-slot GPU, send prayers and so on.

      It does work wonders on Proton.

        Interesting! I’m beginner with Linux and haven’t really touched or looked into Protons and Vines and those things, but very interesting! On Win10 or Win11 it’s not great at all, but Win7 was still alright… Even when that PC obviously had less of everything.

    I just spent the summer playing all of the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS Castlevania games. The series had its ups and downs, but the games are still fun. I think the DS titles still hold up very well.

    My latest round is Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, Railroad Tycoon II, Plants vs. Zombies, and a bit of TF2.

    We still bust out the GameCube to play MarioKart Double Dash.

    yet another shout out for Space Station 14, a fully open source almost-massively multiplayer game with tons of forks being actively developed with lots of cross pollination of ideas and mechanics between them.

    outrageously fun gameplay, totally free, easily modified, decently easy to set up ones own server

    also totally cross platform between linux, mac, and windows
