  • Recommend some games for PCem

    Jump

  • About games hard to run, back on Win7 I couldn't get Dark Colony installer to run with any compatibility mode (luckily, you can run the game just by copying the files from the CD). StarCraft had some graphics issue but just on menus (I think on Win10 as well), and I couldn't play Outwars at all (although GOG version has some fix for modern Windows). A GOG game I bought that I couldn't run on modern windows was Slave Zero.

  • Jagged Alliance, Commandos, Fallout :)

    ps: no idea how original versions are hard to run nowadays, even though I have JA and FO CDs, it's been like 10 years since I last had a CD drive, I just bought them again on GOG :P

  • Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World.

    Jump

  • When out of nowhere Trump got very hostile towards my country (I guess, that's every country in the world) and then right in my city was discovered one the biggest depots of rare earths of the world I got really worried. But then he got nasty with Venezuela so I was kinda relieved.

  • fucking hell, I really thought it was a satire, but what’s really scary is how many absolute morons are ready to get behind it.

  • This doesn't answer who is that Dem presidential candidate who isn't in Israel's pocket… perhaps Paperboy Love Prince?

    Questions

    Jump

  • In one of the tests my cousin, with very Latina facial features, took in the USA, she was asked how many generations of her family had a college degree, and she said four. They took her to another room to ask if she understood the question.

  • Active Retro Consoles?

    Jump

  • That's awesome!MobyGames is a collective database active since 1999. Years ago I was looking for a "letterboxd for games" and others like backloggd and rawg were missing a lot of stuff and had poor info about releases and so (I never checked again, so they might be better now). At the time MobyGames seemed like the best one, there is a lot of very obscure releases there, but I don't know if other databases are more complete.

  • Active Retro Consoles?

    Jump

  • There were also a lot of collection packs in the middle but I was too lazy to count and exclude them :PBut even if they released just roms instead of physical media, wouldn't you still be able to play on the actual hardware using Everdrive or something?

  • Active Retro Consoles?

    Jump

  • So I did a quick search on MobyGames looking for new release since 2020, and:

    • Atari 2600: 10 new games
    • Atari ST: 7 new games
    • DOS: 33 new games
    • Commodore 64: 55 new games
    • NES: 72 new games
    • SNES: 12 new games
    • Gameboy: 42 new games
    • Gameboy Advanced: 9 new games
    • Master System: 6 new games
    • Genesis: 49 new games
    • Dreamcast: 23 new games

    I believe those are the most active

  • So, have you guys watched that The Outer Limits episode The Architects of Fear?

    edit: I guess not. It's about creating a monster that can unite the world [against it]

  • Poor analogy, Blizzard didn't pay my internet bill, and all previous games you could play online just by buying the game. Diablo II had a single player but it was created for online multiplayer, and you didn't need to pay a monthly fee.

  • You think you rule

    Jump

  • Yeah, I used to play Diablo II online and Ultima Online as well (other friends would play Tibia), all of these were created for online multiplayer as well, that's why I thought WoW was bullshit... nowadays I understand the difference in server costs (Diablo II they basically just hosted a lobby and your character data, the game instance would run on the player's computer and not their server, but the other two games hosted all their realms 24/7 with thousands of players simultaneously, the difference is that WoW were hundreds of thousands to millions).

  • You think you rule

  • Hell yeah!

    If just I had CD drive on my laptop lol

  • You think you rule

    Jump

  • Diablo II was the last time I bought something by Blizzard. When they launched WoW I found it absurd that you had to buy the game and still pay a monthly fee to play.

  • Or perhaps my ISP's range of dynamic IPs improved its reputation recently?
