I have gotten back into non-patiently playing Helldivers, but I think I’ll spend the weekend playing Hex of Steel, CtA:Gates of Hell and Dawn of War:Soulstorm with thr Unification mod, same as I’ve been doing all week.

Well that, and watching the 24h of Le Mans race, this saturday!

Same for me. There are some interests I have (mostly niche games) that just don’t have the population to have any sort of traction here. I don’t comment or vote there anymore, and I’m only still logged in on my main PCs because I didn’t bother logging out. Deleted all my old comments and posts.

Same. I don’t even give a shit about them announcing Bloorborne or Gran Turismo on PC anymore. I’ll just wait for PS4 emulation to get better and play that instead.

Growing up in a 3rd world country. When my father gave me a PS2 it was hacked to play pirated games. We also burned CDs on our PC before that.

No no no no stop talking about it, quick before the Nintendo lawyers show up!!

I had a sudden urge to look into TERA Online private servers, downloaded 100GB of custom game clients… And that somehow resulted in me getting back into playing Grim Dawn. This time I want to play it enough to really learn it and actually finish the game.

Bought it on sale earlier this year alongside Palworld and Helldivers 2. You might notice why I still haven’t started it.

I mean even without that slip up the rest of the message still gives them away. Who the fuck would say that without being a vatnik shill.

The golden days of Ultimate-Guitar uaer submitted tabs and pirated Guitar Pro 5 (which my guitar teacher gave to me on a burned CD) Good times.

I feel bad for Arrowhead. Sony fucked them over and it’s not going to take any of the backlash, they will.

Speaking of the state of piracy, how is the state of piracy on Linux? I usually only do that stuff on Windows, I’ve never tried installing Repacks and such on my Linux machines.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah I tried actually joining a Foundry game because my friends wanted to use it instead of Roll20 for our next game. We only really played two sessions on it amd it was an absolute nightnare, so many technical problems that it completely soured the experience. The first session had a TWO HOUR delay because the thing wasn’t working and had to install a bunch of addons, and then I had to install a different browser because it didn’t want to work with what I had at the moment. Pissed me off, ngl.

I haven’t played on my Switch or really touched in in a few months now, since around the Yuzu news. I’m too disgusted by them to want to do it, and shortly before that, I had decided to mod it and not buy their games again. Now I’m 100% certain I’m going to do that. If I really want to give money to some indie game I like, I’ll buy it on Steam.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

I actually had that realization yesterday. At this point I hope they keep doing it and making Win11/worse. I’m not moving out of Win10 and I have Linux on all my other PCs, and this should push more people into Linux too.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

I have never used Arch but I have had SEVERAL FUCKING TIMES Windows comppletely fuck up something in my system through updates. Thankfully it hasn’t happened in my latest machine running Win10, but in my laptops one ofthenm literally died trying to upgrade versions, and I had to block ut from ever attempting it again.Nowadayas that same laptop is happily running Mint and testing Fedora.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

In my old laptop, Windows updates used to cannibalize my AMD graphics card driver literally every time.

@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Can we go back to when every technology was just weaponized instead? No? This is somehow worse.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Will? Will? Think again. Cars are already the worst when it comes to data collection and privacy. Not just Teslas, anything with Android Auto or similar. They can literally tell if you’re banging someone in the back seat. BMW made people pay a yearly subscription to access heated seats. I hate the modern automotive market.

I remember when U-G used to be good. You just downloaded the user submitted tabs and there you go. Now thing thry have are ASCII charts from 2010 and ads.

Songsterr is much better now, even if most of it’s tabs are suspiciously similar to the same user submitted guitar pro files I remember from back in the day.

@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Oh good I had just checked them this week and aaw that they were coming back soon.

@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Ohh I’d love to ask you: which emulation handheld you think provides the best arcade emulation experience for vertical shmups?

You are going to be trapped in a room for 12 hours with a mid 2000s office desktop with no internet connection and an external hard drive; what are you putting on the hard drive?

I’ve got some DOOM WADs I have been meaning to play so I would probably grab Trench Foot, Total Chaos, and the sequel to Ashes 2063, Ashes: Afterglow with a portable install of GZDoom to play them....

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

I’d copy my Doom and Quake folders, hoping the modern sourceports still work on them. Well, PrBoom+ and ZDoom should both work. Then all my emulators up to the 32-bit era, some music and the seasons of Kamen Rider and Ultraman that I’m currently watching.Honestly I could just bring my actual external hard drive or my HP laptop from 2013 that I installed Linux on. It’s what I got on those.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Yes, all of their games in the past few years or so have DLCs like that. What I’m actually worried about is some of their games the MTX aren’t irrelevant like these. Monster Hunter has been getting more and more of these with each new release since World and I’m scared of what they’ll do with Wilds.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

FUCKING STOP. Pieces of shit gambled with several studios to get themselves bought and it blew in their faces ruining several of said studios losing many many people their jobs.

@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Does DOOM count? It’s been officially open sourced recently, even though it was already treated as such for decades.Either way, I can’t stop playing it, there’s 30 years of user created content to go through.

Does anyone know of a half-way decent FOSS alternative to Kega Fusion?

To start off, I just want to say that Kega Fusion is a wonderful emulator for pre–Sega Saturn emulation. However, the fact that it is not open-source concerns me. What if something happens and the person is required to take it down? (Not likely after 14 years but still…) Or hell they just decide to take it down for whatever...

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Eh, if it’s installed on your machine you get to keep whatever it is. I have both Kega and Retroarch installed for Genesis emulation anf it’s alright. I think Ares does that too?

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Ares is a standalone emulator that also does Nintendo and PC Engine consoles. Very versatile.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Yup, that one.

Me, installimg a few Flatpak apps, having them work for a while then suddenly break for no apparent reason, spend an enture day trying to fix them, only for an update acouple days later to fix it.

The Armored Core Portable games are really good, if you can live with thr wonky controls. There’s Tekken 5 Dark Ressurrection, great port of the same.fighting game of the PS3. Gran Tourismo Portable is nice, alongside Wipeout Pure and Pulse, and Ridge Racer are all nice racing game options. And I cannot go without mentioning Monster Hunter Portable 3rd! One of the best in the series, easy to get into and has a fan translation available.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Extremely based of them. I want to learn Dusk modding but I’ll first doDooma and Quake. That should give them time to iron out the kinks of the SDK.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Add ActiBlizz and Epic for me.

@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

I instantly picked up SimCity 3000 there, it’s literally the first computer game I’ve ever played! It was practically free and runs well. Might grab the C&C collection too, I didn’t play those back in the day.

@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Fucking hell, screw Unity. So many indie game projects got shafted or cancelled because of this, it’s crazy. The devs that could, jumped ship to Unreal or Godot or something else, but the damage is done, and the trust is never to return. Not unless the entire heads tbat own Unity roll.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

I have literally 30 years of gaming history in my PC. I can go without playing subscription based games. Fuck off with that, Ubisoft.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Armored Core wasn’t even a runner up on any of the categories, while FC24 was in like 3 of them. I completely give up.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Ohh yeah going back through the tower again in DMC3 is annoying. It was already kinda hard to navigate before the scramble.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Always skip Blighttown, and the game still loses steam on Lost Izalith. Really the worst part of the game.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Everyone already mentioned Dark Souls and stuff like that. Some stages in classic Doom are also kinda like that.

But my personal nemesis is the mission Glatisant in Ace Combat Zero. Every AC game has it’s long score attack missions, but Glatisant is mandatory in every run of a game you have to clear at least 3 times, and it’s a 30 minute long ground assault on a snowy mountain range with poor visibility and covered in air defenses. The danger level never gets lower, and it’s easy to get shot down right at the end and having to start it all over again.

Speaking of Armchair Copelord, it seems like he’s hit a “broken clock is right twice a day” moment with the new Russian rifle proposal. twitter.com/ArmchairW/status/1739403026451112357

God I love old games getting fanmade expansion and mods. The passion people have for their favorite games can kee them alive and interesting after many years. I’ve been playing 30 years of Doom mods, 20 something years of Quake mods, fan translated Super Robot Wars, a fully standalone modpack expansion to another standalone mod based on a custom engine of the Stalker games, I’ve recently got Star Wars:Galaxy at War… The possibilities are endless.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Yeah, and it sucks because of that. The amount of misinformation, propaganda and fake news that has been circulated through Whatsapp on the previous 4 years was astounding and almost ruined the country permanently.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Both, it’s both.

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Oh my gods, I thought we were going to have to wait another year for the PC version after the PS5 one released. I am now VERY hyped for this release! EDF!!

Varyag ,
@Varyag@lemm.ee avatar

Ah yes, of course immediately after they got all of the money for the things that scalpers bought out instantly, and are now going to be resold for triple the price online. So, so sorry.
