I replayed the 360 version of TFU recently and really can’t stand it. But I also played the Wii version ported to Switch recently too and it’s just as good as I remember. They’re very different games and the Wii version was always my favourite.
Giants: Citizen Kabuto. I love the PC version, but the PS2 version–despite looking a lot worse–feels more like a finished game. There are things like elevators that don’t exist in the PC version, cutscenes don’t cut off dialog before it’s finished, and the UI is overall more polished.
Please forward this topic to your instance admins as an example of why lemmy.ml needs to be defederated. Yes, they’re a big instance and, no, not every user is like this. But enough of them are that it’s a constant problem that the .ml admins have no interest in stopping because they adamantly support it.
Leaving it up to us to block .ml ourselves is insufficient as the comments on this post perfectly demonstrate. You can’t even point out their Chinese/Russian propaganda and censorship on other instances without being brigaded by .ml users.
They need to be cut off from the rest of the fediverse. The sane users and communities can migrate to better instances. Not wanting to move because it’s inconvenient is no excuse. At a certain point you have to acknowledge you’re hanging out at a nazi bar, and if you stay there when every other sane person is urging you to get out, that’s on you.
The comment I’m replying to is an example of why .ml needs to be defederated. Leaving it up to us to block it isn’t enough because their tankie users can still spread their shit.
I saw this Criken video a while ago of him playing it with friends and it looks awesome. The video is hilarious too.
If you haven’t already checked it out, Armed and Dangerous is by the same studio and is very similar in terms of gameplay and humor. Not quite as polished, but a lot funnier in my opinion.
It’s definitely my favourite of the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games. I really like the story in it, focusing on a family caught up in the war.
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
These were some of my favourite games as a kid/teenager. There are a lot more but I didn’t want to dump a giant list in the comments.
I’ve played them all on my Steam Deck so they definitely run on linux.
I mostly use mine for the PS1, PS2 and PSP games that were released for it. I actually don’t think I have a single original Vita game installed. I tried out the Killzone game but could never gel with anything that used the back touch panels. They never worked right for me.
I still love it, though. It’s my favourite way to play all those ports and remasters.

I forgot what the original post was about. I just wanted to concur.
When I was young and having fun building my own personal sites, I made sure everything could work without Javascript. Now I’m an Angular developer for work and I die a little more each day.
The soulsborne games. There are a lot of bad souls-likes and also a few good ones. But the Fromsoft games themselves are impeccable. They could keep making the same thing over and over and I’d eat it up like a diabetic in an insulin factory.
That’s the one. I felt bad leaving without a word but it was spur of the moment. I just got the sudden realization like I was a teenager still hanging out in the McDonalds Play Place and quietly noped out the door.
Not that I have anything against gen z. I just couldn’t relate to most of what they were saying. So I guess a better analogy is that I was like an old man wandering around the mall surrounded by teenagers. Except malls are dead now so gen z still won’t relate. Hence: bumbling grandpa.
I also joined the RetroDaze forum before that but there were only two or three other active users and I got the impression at least one of them was an “I voted for Trump” type of guy.
I was active on an “Old Web Revival” forum for a while last year. I was expecting it to be populated by nostalgic gen x and millennials, but it turned out to mostly be zoomers romanticizing the '90s and thinking they could save the internet with Neocities.
After realizing I was the oldest person there I felt like a bumbling grandpa telling meandering stories of the way it used to was, so I eventually left. I haven’t been able to find another retro nostalgia forum since then.
Samsung devices have become very ad-heavy. My first smart phone was a Galaxy S3 and I used to prefer their TVs, but forcing ads into everything has guaranteed I’ll never buy another Samsung phone or TV again.
I believe this trailer was shown during E3 or TGS. There’s another version that was also shown a year or so later but never released either. It has more of a supernatural vibe to it that people compared to Silent Hill at the time.

I was a member of an RE fan forum back then where we spent an unhealthy chunk of our lives poring over these trailers.
Now im just hoping for a code Veronica remake.
This is what I’m hoping for next as well. RE5 is way too recent to need a remake, but then again I thought the same thing about RE4. Code Veronica is such a good game but is old enough that it could really benefit from updating the graphics and gameplay.
I like RE4 a lot, but I wish they had released this version instead.

This looked like a continuation of what the first RE remake started. Much more horror-focused, more realistic and less campy. I still watch this trailer every once in a while to torture myself over what might have been.
But I don’t think that game would have been as commercially successful as the RE4 we did get. The shift to more action definitely brought in more players, but a lot of classic Resident Evil fans felt alienated at the time.
I definitely started reading this as though it was about the older CoC game, Dark Corners of the Earth. It’s a bad sign when so many descriptions of a 5-year-old game also apply to one that’s almost 20 years old.
Dark Corners of the Earth is actually pretty great, if anyone would rather give that a try. There’s one level set in a factory that really drags, but everything else is enjoyable. There’s one sequence in the hotel that feels straight out of The Shadow Over Innsmouth.
Yeah. It made the focus a lot more on lightsaber combat instead of force powers and showing off the physics engine of the technically “superior” versions of the game.
