I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m here now…
I used to collect a lot more in the last 20 so years but sold anything not Dreamcast related. That was mostly because of space saving though.
I did manage to get a clone GDEMU before they were in high demand but playing roms loses the nostalgic charm that having something physical has.
I don’t have a hard cut-off but I also haven’t bought a physical game in some years now because of the price increases. I would love to continue my Dreamcast collection but it’s not worth the risk spending so much anymore.
I don’t really have an opinion either way for “always online” but live service (games as a service) makes me actively avoid that shit.
It’s perfectly fine to “finish” a game (maybe after a year or two) and move on to making the next. You don’t need to have a 10 year plan to try and keep it relevant.
Fixed. Thanks.
I didn’t realise it was a failed Kickstarter. I bought it in early access so I guess they decided to risk it that way and it worked out in the end.
No not really but it’s all subjective anyway.
I remember RAGE we good the first time I played but I really struggled with it last year when I tried it again. Also John Goodman voiced a character at the beginning and then buggers off never to be seen again…
There are so many reasons why it failed but we all love it so.
This War of Mine: Complete Edition £26.93 £3.91 (85% off)
In my opinion one of the greatest games but also one of the saddest. If you already own the game then I highly recommend all the DLC as they all bring some interesting scenarios to the game.
GRIP: Combat Racing £24.99 £2.49 (90% off)
Spiritual successor to Rollcage with a great soundtrack.
There were some bizarre ads from around the late 90s to early 00s.
The Dreamcast Barber comes to mind.
Psychonauts 2 is amazing. I had a really good time playing it and my kids were completely engrossed in it by my side.
To me it feels like a big drop in activity on Lemmy over the past 6 months? So the weekly and monthly post are being forgotten and some are letting standards slip.
The HDD in my Xbox One S was starting to die so I decided to swap it for an SSD. Surprisingly easy to do with just a torx screwdriver and a spudger. So now I’m starting Red Dead Redemption again as I got so close to completion but didn’t quite finish the story.
Old School Rally
Heavily inspired by Colin McRae Rally on the PS1 and it looks the part but the car handling really lets in down. Unresponsive at stirred, brakes are too sticky and pace notes are called to late and not together.
Parking Garage Rally Circuit
Fun little circuit time trial mode in the demo with arcade controls (hold X to drift and earn boost like Mario Kart). Kind of game where you will spend time perfecting your run to try and save milliseconds. It has the visuals of a Sega Saturn/Arcade game which is cool.
N64 is one of my favourites but also the hardest to go back to after all these years.
Never heard of BAR before so thanks for this. Looks amazing and can’t wait to try.
I have barely any subscriptions for anything anymore and once Gamepass expires (I did the £1 upgrade offer) I will not renew.
I just chop and change to whatever I want for the month but overall I don’t really use many paid services anymore.
Smaller scale than Cities Skylines and also have other gameplay mechanics but that’s how I like it.
I’m the same way with games that just get overwhelming and I loose interest.
Ostriv is another game like Banished where it is smaller scale so you might like that too.
Swapped my copy of Power Stone 2 for Soul Calibur with a friend of a friend and what was supposed to be a week or so became forever…
I also let a mate borrow MSR on the Dreamcast and when I went over again I found the disc being used as a coaster to someone’s coffee…
