Last Notes npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Just a short bit of sprint racing fun in Watch Dogs 2! :sonic: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Part 2 of my BioShock Infinite On Linux series is now live! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: There's something so atmospheric, so gritty, so COOL about the aesthetic of the original System Shock. That Doom-era 3D, mixed with a dark sci-fi and cyberpunk art style, it's just an unforgettable experience. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: My longest gameplay video is now live! This time, I'm revisiting Bioshock Infinite, the first game I ever purchased directly on Steam. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Personally, the classic Super Mario Bros. is always going to be my favorite Mario game. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Watching this is one of those cases where I'm developing nostalgia for something I forgot I even had nostalgia for. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: I know BioShock Infinite gets some grief from fans of the original game, but personally, I always found it to be insanely interesting. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn Doom 64 was already a pretty great-looking game even now, this takes it to new heights! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn Man, that really sucks to hear :terry_nono: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn *sniff* Whoa, what's that smell? It smells... it smells kinda like a lawsuit to me, but maybe I'm crazy? :odysee_thinking: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…4d45 This has been on my backlog for a while, been meaning to get to it as well! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…8y2y No, but he does have "chaos spears" which are basically a gun haha npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: I've been playing a bit of Sonic x Shadow Generations and I can safely say, it's one of the better 3D Sonic games for sure. Like the original Generations, it thrives upon nostalgia while also dealing in new gameplay mechanics. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Just as catchy as the song it's parodying :guilded_lul: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: I don't know if I'm the only one but when I saw the whole Scarif sequence in Rogue One, the bombing run sequence of Deception at Destrillion immediately came to mind. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn I threw it on my wishlist after I saw your post, definitely looks like a nice, laid-back bit of fun! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg IIRC, didn't they learn that CRTs don't actually cause any issues other than eye strain? :odysee_thinking: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…j6ac It's not so much the food, it's what's in it and how it's processed (as well as age-old gluttony, of course). npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg I never went to college (thank the Lord for that) but I had been in several colleges and trade schools through the 2000s and 2010s. The ones I visited looked roughly the same way until ~2013 or so, the only difference being the LCD screens instead. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn Similar to my fascination with LEDs and Christmas lights, I'm a sucker for glassy/gemstone-style visuals, both old and new! In fact, that's a big reason why I appreciate Columns on the Genesis. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg They're out there, they're just not covered by the news because the news profits off of drama and wants people eternally anxious. :terry_nono: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…scxd I'm not using any BSD variety but what I've found about the seventh-gen Bethesda (or Obsidian, in this case) titles is that they generally run better on Linux in terms of stability. Try running NV, Fallout 3 or Oblivion (original) on modern Windows and you'll run into all sorts of problems, but running those games on Linux via Proton is a significantly better experience. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn I can relate to pains like that taking you down and out of productivity. It's not fun, get well soon! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: The point-and-click adventure game Deponia, by "the LucasArts of Germany", is currently free to claim on Steam! If you enjoy any sort of point-and-click games, it might be worth claiming. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn Ah you're finally getting around to playing Black Mesa? Nice! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Sonic Forces had a lot of potential but for me, the level design really brings it down. It's not even a good type of frustrating, it's just FRUSTRATING. :rp_km: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…ftu6 One of my favorite aspects of the remaster is that night sky. In the original game, the night sky of the Shivering Isles was gorgeous (haven't seen it in the remaster yet) but they went above and beyond for the regular night sky in the remaster. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Was supposed to be this emoji :gabletsgo: but I suppose that works too :guilded_lul: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg :letsgo: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…ftu6 This remaster was almost flawless! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…jqzj Sorry I couldn't make it (I have to get back to your streams at some point) but I've heard most people consider PS4 to be the best in the series. With the little bit that I've played, I'd have to agree, it seems great! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…jkac This is a vibe and a half, wow :doge_cool: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Ghost Recon is celebrating its 25th birthday and I feel old :rp_depre: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…h399 Yeah, I mean, the Playstation definitely had a wider library and some really revolutionary classics, but the N64 is way underappreciated IMO! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…h399 I'm neither looking forward to it, nor am I ready (summer went WAY too quickly) but I do at least enjoy the fall season's feel and festivities. My town and area have a lot of fun, family-friendly activities to do in the fall. What I'm absolutely DREADING is the winter, though. If I never had to deal with winter again, that'd still be too soon to deal with it :rp_depre: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Codeberg's recent denial of literally everything AI has made me much less interested in it. Github ain't great but at least you wouldn't get your code banned for getting a tiny bit of help from AI lol npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg What did I miss? I'm not seeing any messages from @nprofile…jkac, just you. I'm not blocked either, as far as I can tell :odysee_thinking: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…xuut @nprofile…lssg Probably not, but I also don't think they'll remain unaffordable. It is a shame, however, because RAM used to be one of the cheapest components for a PC build :guts: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Agreed, it has delayed a lot of projects I have in mind because I know prices will go down at some point (even if they may or may not go down to pre-bubble lows). npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…h399 Pretty boomer, IMO :guilded_lul: Nah, lots of stuff today sucks but there's more to enjoy than to hate. You just have to look a little harder and not expect perfection. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Earliest, late 2027. I don't really agree with the blackpill assessments, so my guess is that 2028 is likely going to be the start and the prices won't be significantly lower until 2029/2030. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…f9hg Spot on, that's exactly how it feels! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: I will say that Portal 2's aesthetic recaptures some of those vibes, particularly when you're in the areas outside of the classic test chambers. Some areas of that game straight-up feel like I've gone to a home hardware store, which I love. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: The grungy, industrial, brutalist aesthetic of the Black Mesa Research Facility in the original Half-Life is still pretty much undefeated in terms of sci-fi video game aesthetics... at least, in my opinion. :steam: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: The nineties was a particularly amazing era for Star Wars games, and LucasArts in general! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…ycz3 The nineties was a particularly amazing era for Star Wars games, and LucasArts in general! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…jqzj Sorry I wasn't able to make it, I hope the mind-draining stuff calms down for you! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…h399 @nprofile…05fn @nprofile…xmsv @nprofile…gnp3 @nprofile…j6ac Thanks for the shout-out and for including the others as well! I try to do my best to contribute toward keeping this place as awesome as it has been since I joined :gabsalute: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: The good news is that if you're on Fedora or Arch, it still works fine on Proton. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…af2p FunOrb was the most popular at mine (I was homeschooled) :guilded_lul: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…af2p Not all of the games are amazing but a lot of them are iterations on arcade classics and retro genres. The originals can be pretty fun, too. They were a lot of fun to hop on during school lunch breaks and such! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: The AlterOrb project: https://alterorb.net/ npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Apparently, fans are in the process of reviving FunOrb, the "hard casual" browser gaming site by Jagex, the devs behind RuneScape! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg I have truly INCREDIBLE news: I discovered that most of these games are now playable again! Arcanists (the Worms-like one) is on Steam for free, as Jagex licensed it to fan devs, and the rest of the FunOrb library is in the process of being restored via the AlterOrb project! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg There were so many good ones haha. Remember the zombie game? And the one where you build up a ship with the top-down space shooter? It's sad those games just faded away! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Oh, are you referring to FunOrb? Same here, that site was so fun! I wish they'd release them as a casual games suite on Steam at some point. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Same! I had been on the way out with the game since ~2021 and finally quit in 2024, but this dude has singlehandedly revived my interest in the series haha. I also love that he reaffirmed that his intentions with the company are to double down on RuneScape as a franchise rather than trying to branch out like they had been for years. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Yeah, he took over about a year and a half ago and has completely turned things around, especially for the modern game. They've removed Treasure Hunter, made a commitment to fix all sorts of gameplay and monetization issues, they canceled new pride events and they now focus on great gameplay over number crunching or political statements. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Every time I see an interview with the new CEO of Jagex, I'm more and more impressed by his resolve and where he's leading the company (and thus, the games). npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…ftu6 Sounds like the Steam Deck, which I do have! I've never been a huge fan of the controller gyro but having a touch screen is extremely nice :steam: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…ftu6 I see they're still using the Wii-style cursor, nice! I don't have a Switch 2 (or even a Switch 1), so I had no idea that was the case. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…h399 You're not alone, my back is jacked up right now as well. I saw my chiropractor but it's gonna take at least one more visit before the pain goes away :terry_nono: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg That's... a really fair point :odysee_thinking2: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: I will judge you by whether you consider this character to be the hero of his movie or not :odysee_spacechad: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…xuut I know I saw something about how this one is a return to the manga version of Motoko, I'm interested in how that will feel given how I mostly got into anime because of the SAC version of the character haha npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: I'm genuinely thrilled to give this a go. Old School RuneScape, the retro version of the game, has been doing these for a while but they're a new addition to the modern game and this one sounds outstanding. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Oh naur :odysee_laughing: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…xuut Oh yeah, it's probably on Prime in the States as well, I just didn't even realize that the series was out at all haha. I had seen promo art/trailers but it seemed like those indicated it was still in development so that's why I was shocked. Hopefully I'll find a way to watch it, though! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…xuut That's out? I knew it was on its way but didn't know it was out yet. Hmm I don't have Prime but I'll find a way to watch it :guilded_dealwithit: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex was one of my first forays into anime and it still has one of the most incredible vibes I've ever seen in any show, anime or otherwise. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…h399 I'd say 2008. Things were still pretty good until the recession and a certain somebody who hesitated when he spoke. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…af2p Slick! I have two CD copies myself but they're both recent; one came with the Fallout Anthology, and the other was a re-release on DVD when Bethesda was still independent. I'd love to get original box copies of the classic games at some point! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Good question! Theologically, the Bible is the only answer. But in terms of entertainment, probably CS Lewis' Space Trilogy. Those books completely changed my outlook on the purpose of space :odysee_spacechad: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…jkac Probably my favorite 90s cRPG! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Gmanlives is one of my favorite gaming Youtube channels. He's not exclusively retro but he covers a lot of great retro games in reviews and retrospectives that I personally think are very well-done. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…j6ac There's a whole series of them, they're all extremely funny :guilded_lul: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…j6ac This one was always one of my favorites :odysee_laughing: And yeah, I personally find it WAY funnier than SNL, even back when SNL was actually funny. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…j6ac Oof :guilded_lul: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…ftu6 @nprofile…ty9m Those missions were what got me interested in the game! I didn't play the first one until after MW2, I saw someone playing the Brazil favela missions on Youtube and thought it looked fantastic. Fortunately, they played just as good as they looked. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…ftu6 @nprofile…ty9m Wow... shows how far out of the loop I am on this series nowadays :guilded_lul: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: In Living Color really was the best comedy skit show. I really hate that we can't have this sort of comedy anymore :odysee_laughing: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…ty9m Not before MW2 Remastered! I loved MW2 the most of the classic MW games! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…j9hk It can be quite spooky, especially later on with the supernatural stuff! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…h399 I hate to side with Boomers OR Gen X'ers but they're not entirely wrong. Just not seeing the whole picture, either. It's a combination of laziness, fear of conditions (especially those who live in cesspits known as a modern city), but it's also because of the over-reliance on smartphones and social media. Seen all three of these with my own eyes. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…af2p Same, I had this version but I don't know where it went off to. My family moved when I was ~12 and I haven't seen it since so either it's in storage or lost. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: I love seeing that Thief Gold was added to GOG's Preservation Program. While I'm very hyped for the upcoming Nightdive remaster, it's nice to know that we'll still be able to play and enjoy the non-remastered version for years to come. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn I don't like these things lol. I always kill all spiders except the cellar spiders because they mind their own business in far-off corners away from me. These things are just too fast for me to keep :guilded_lul: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Truthfully, I don't think I've ever used Netgear routers (just wireless adapters) but that sounds pretty terrible :odysee_laughing: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…h399 I still read both, mostly novels. As for comics, that's usually only for certain franchises like Star Wars, and I also dabble in manga. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg What happened? npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…ftu6 The Gamecube ergonomics are massively underrated! npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn I was gonna respond to that post with this image until I saw they blocked us :odysee_laughing: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg Love it :guilded_lul: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…9yck This is how I feel about most of the Ultima series haha. Aside from 7 and the Underworld games, most of the series is too clunky and/or dated (in not so great ways) for my taste. Even so, I can sit and binge-watch Spoony's retrospective series over and over again haha npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: Link to download: https://nedesigns.com/park/acropolis-revisited npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: For the last two decades, I've been on the hunt for a custom RCT2 park that I played on an old PC, but couldn't ever find it. I couldn't remember the name of the park, but I knew that I was astonished by how well-made it was. It had a Greek theme to it, with lots of whites and blues in the color palette. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: One of the games that formulated my childhood was Star Wars: Rebel Assault II. npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…05fn Man, if I had the money, I'd buy it and pay for the shipping if you packed it up for me :odysee_laughing: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…lssg I need to try it out someday, would be nice to have 100% local cloud for myself. I'm curious if there are gaming-related applets for Nextcloud :odysee_thinking: npub1478fd2xpn87u9lmyuhn7fhpst6ewtah9wk4exjm9ray9s9v3h5ps2xk4fw Jakob Fel :spinningdisc: @nprofile…h399 The moment I read this, I heard that bass line in my head :guilded_lul:
