The only issue with Stuntman on emulators is it's one the last remaining games not playable on PCSX2. There's been consistent issues with the AI pathing on one of the levels and they haven't been able to patch it after all these years.
I'm not saying it won't ever be, but it may continue to be unplayable on non-native hardware for a while longer.

I am not ashamed to admit it either. I even made the effort to get the PS2 ports of the two games that released on PSP, however I still need to play those.
It is a goal of mine to have every single R&C game playable on my PC. The only one I'm still waiting on is the PS4 version, and it's only a matter of time with ShadPS4.

I haven't tried the R&C collection on RPCS3 yet even though I have a copy. The compatibility list has it under In Game with some graphical bugs and glitches, but it was last updated nearly 5 years ago, so things may have improved.

Luckily since you have a Deck, you can realistically change your thumbsticks should they get damaged.

No one mentioned the Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank games. Those were my childhood growing up and in my opinion hold up gameplay-wise to this day.

Plus the Jak series have a native launcher called OpenGOAL.

While I never played them myself, I have heard good things about the Sly Cooper series.

Rayman 3 Hoodlum Havoc is where it's at. I consider that peak Rayman. Would love another game with that vibe.

I do wonder what it would look like if only one singular helium atom underwent fission. Would we even notice it? Or would it still cause enough of an explosion to injure?

I don't always finish my sentences. But when I do

Schrule

We've seen this before somewhere else.

Hmmm, a nuclear based propellant. Might be easiest to make it a pulse based rocket so you can use a bunch of tiny nuclear explosions to propel yourself into space. I'm sure that won't have any environmental ramifications.

GTA 3 came out when I was in 3rd grade and I remember my dad renting it from Blockbuster. My mom was not thrilled.
I personally remember thinking, "This is like Driver, but better." I think we eventually bought it a year or two later, but my mom wouldn't let me play, so I to do it when she wasn't around.

The mechanics are definitely a bit clunky which adds to the difficulty. But outside of that, the game doesn't feel that difficult to play.
Then again, I only got to the yard as a kid, so maybe the game gets noticeably harder after that.

Lol, when I played it as a kid, it was on my grandma's tiny ~13" CRT, so I can't imagine the tv was doing much heavy lifting. My housemate does have a 60" TV I could try though...

Reminds me I gotta finish this game. I have it emulated on my phone. I only finished the house so far. It's weird playing it as an adult versus as a kid. Back then the game felt much bigger and more difficult.

I really hate that man

Reminds me of the time I put a partially filled Gatorade bottle under my parents' Jeep as a kid. I remember trying to run it over with my bike, but would just go right over it. Then I got curious what the Jeep would do and wedged it under the back tire. But we didn't go anywhere till the next day, so I forgot I put it there.
The following day, we're backing out of the garage when there's a sudden loud POP. I quickly turn to look and see Gatorade covering that area of the garage. Scared the hell out of my mom.
Was an informative time for everyone involved.

When I tried Sony's 5 IV last year, it came with a headphone jack. Most of Sony's lineup comes with it I believe.

They say the best gift is one they keep on using. By that logic, my best gift is the tea kettle my brother gave me on Christmas 2018. I was getting into drinking tea, but I had no convenient way to heat up the water. It quickly became my most used Christmas gift ever. Then when the pandemic happened and I started working from home, I used it multiple times a day. It's been used easily a couple thousand times in the past 6 years and it's still going strong.

Edit: Another arguably best gift is the headphones that my brother also gave me. I forget what year, though, somewhere between 2014 and 2016. They're a pair of Sony headphones and I started to use them a lot when I started office work at the end of 2017. Basically every day for most of my shifts. I used them so much the (admittedly mediocre) ear pads wore out and I had to replace them at the end of 2019. The 3rd party replacement pads are significantly better and show absolutely zero wear. I stopped using them as much when I upgraded to a wireless pair in 2022, but they still get used every week for work meetings and calls on Teams. I've definitely put a few thousand hours of use into them over the past decade.

I'm sorry :/ There's gotta be a way to get those screws out. It's 100% worth jailbreaking your Switch. Being able to play BotW and TotK on your 27" 1440p monitor significantly improves the experience.
