  • "Right-wing populism" = The people are useful idiots for getting fascists into power.

  • I prefer the non-job system DQ games from IV onwards. Hoping they keep going and do IV and V with the HD treatment!

  • What have you been playing!?

    I've been tinkering with my Steam Deck almost since I got it a month ago. I mostly use it hooked up to the TV with a PS5 controller. I have a problem with sticking to one game and tend to jump around a lot between them, but here are ones I can remember playing in the last week or so for a decent amount of time:

    Fantasy Life i: Not usually a fan of cozy games - I like more direction - so this one looked right up my ally with an actual plot to follow along. I got about 10 hours in until the game started blocking my progress by requiring I find buddies to advance the story. I'm not interested in having to look up where they can be found, so I dropped it. It was a fun 10 hours, though!

    Broforce: Bought it for the 3rd time on Steam so I could access player-made levels, something not available on other platforms. I love this game! Wish they'd make a sequel or even an official expansion.

    Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie: I recently decided to test out 360 emulation on the Deck via Xenia and remembered these 2 were on it with better framerates and camera control than the originals. Pretty funny to use a 360 emulator to play N64 games, but until the fanmade PC ports are available it's the best way to play them.

    My next tinker project is seeing if I can get the DS models and texture mod for Mario 64 EX working. I have a thing where I prefer to play official upgrades to graphics when possible, which is why I'm use the 3DS textures for Ocarina of Time on the PC port.

  • Because of the tariffs that only apply to the US, see, they have to charge more for digital goods in other countries because reasons.

  • Not a big fan of the new Dooms, although I did like 2016. Nothing beats the ol' Doom II (via source ports).

  • Instead of just saying it's incorrect, say why. I can just as easily say that you're incorrect.

  • Maybe the guy at the front will eat vanilla paste instead of cuttlefish this time.

  • Wreck It Ralph doesn't count because it wasn't based on an actual video game, but on video games in general. But it was indeed great.

  • That one got a lot of hate, but I actually liked it. Not so much the second one, though.

  • Oh, that's good to know! I wondered how a cold-blooded mammal could be a thing.

  • They don't have to. They can release the code and let people run their own servers once they're no longer interested in doing so. This costs them nothing.

  • Slapped it together real fast, yup.

  • My first was 500MB. I remember Stonekeep seemed enormous at 80MB.

    My first computer didn't have a hard drive at all (Apple IIe).

  • You can also choose to call them out on having anti-consumer practices. You are entitled to criticize shitty business practices.

  • Marvel Heroes Omega is one I recently discovered has private servers now. I really miss that one. The whole campaign is playable, but the server will be wiped once 1.0 of the emu comes out, possibly early next year.
