Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
There are so many new games coming out that even if you don't want 99% of them you could never play everything you want.
What's really going on here is that most of us are getting old and busy enough to where we genuinely prefer something familiar regardless of the quality of new games.
I'd still miss the culturally/socially relevant and intellectual games like Life is strange and Silent Hill.
Do I actually have time and energy to play them? No.
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
Gaming industry collapse doesn't sound good, I've been liking indie games a lot.
Anyone has some runescape-like game to recommend?
I play open source games
🙇🏻
Dwarf Fortress is 20 years old and still only has half the planned features. Tarn will be working on it until he croaks. Bless that man.
It's kind of blown my mind to learn about the development of that game. UnReal World's similar how it started development in like the 90's and the guys still just keep working on it like a group hobby. Love that for them
Did you see the /NoClip documentary?
I have not. My exposure to it was through Frederick Knudson DownTheRabbithole.
I'll go look that up though if there's more to be heard
My ADHD would never. I'd love to have a forever project, but the unending crave for novelty would never allow me.
The amount of simulations is still looking for its match. Hell, it reminds me of the possible best simulation: Dwarfes are having a party. Someone spills their beer. A cat walks through the beer puddle. The cat cleans its paws. The cat becomes drunk from the beer on its paws.
The graphic is rather old, even the steam version or with "Lazy Newb Pack", but it is still !!FUN!!.
Right now is the best time to play old games. Retro gaming handhelds have never been better, and honestly there's little to improve in them at this point.
Get yourself a retro handheld for as little as $100, that will feel more premium than a Steam Deck, and start playing games that came out before you were born.
I've genuinely forgotten how bad the current video game industry is, because I'm so busy having a blast with older/retro titles.
Highly recommend to all gamers.

how old do you think i am
About to say, I'm older than Pac-Man :D
my cool SIL is way too into Ms. Pacman because that was her game at the arcade.
i can't solder for shit, but i could code a mame console to run that for her 50th
Flashpoint Archive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashpoint_Archive
:o
that sounds like an amazing project. i have literally been thinking just yesterday whether i could ever get back the nostalgic (and often crappily made xD) flash games of my youth.
xD and the video on the project website is so iconic xD literally uses music from redacted (guess the game yourself :)).
question: does anyone have a backup of the flashpoint archive itself? in case that one goes down (so, double backup)
Flashpoint is amazing!
Fuck yes I'm so happy people did this. This is art preservation
It’s so fun!
Kingdom Hearts II is 22 years old. Just picked it back up today.
Still fucking rips.
I mean Warcraft II is still the shit. As is classic doom, carmageddon, Aoe,... you name it.
I still play Warcraft III - Frozzen Throne. So many custom maps. I've got enough gaming content for another 10 years.
I have this urge to revisit Dune 2000 but my life is a bit hectic. Boys+Sports...
laughs in DKFX
I'm still playing Rimworld
Regardless, I never spend more than $20 on a game, wait for the "Game of the Year Platinum Super Edition" to go on sale. It works every time!
I normally do that, but I got Baldur's Gate I think within it's first year, and the thing that sold me is they put it DRM free on GOG super early. Normally you have to wait 15 years to get a AAA game on GOG, so I wanted to support that decision to put it there early.
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.
All hail the ability to emulate console games up to a certain generation well enough on even lower end hardware.
Ain't no other way to officially enjoy classics like Tony Hawk Pro Skater ( best on Dreamcast IMO ). Probably one of the greatest skater games, just behind a game like Skate 2. But maybe that's the nostalgia talking...

A little wordy as a catch phrase, but I like the sentiment.
