With that consistency I think the milk spoiled.

Are you playing it on disc by any chance? I know that I couldn’t get it working due to “Games for Windows Live”. I had to purchase it a second time on Steam before it worked (since they removed GFWL from the Steam and GOG versions).

The appetizer before the main course.

Have you looked through PCGamingWiki?

• To The Moon: Absolutely heart breaking.
• Tales of Maj’Eyal: An incredible rogue-like with 30+ classes and God knows how many achievements.
• Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead: Apocalyptic rogue-like. Zombies, bandits, aliens and Lovecraft shit. Want to raid a dojo? Learn Judo from a book and proceed to race around town on a pair of rollerblades practicing on the undead? Feel free.

I just checked the compatibility list for PCSX2.

Both games seem to be fully playable from start to end. DA1 has a fix listed for some of the issues. DA2 has a 4GB patch listed.

You might want to try both of these if you decide to give them another go.

Honestly, I think if a game was good back then, it’s still good now. There’s just a bit of an adjustment period.

Are there any types of games you enjoy in particular? Favourite genres and series?

How about Planet Crafter? You crash land on a planet and you have to terraform the planet using the materials you gather.

There’s also Occupy Mars. This is more realistic. It’s just that there’s one aspect of it that I think you might love.

Using a drill, crane and vehicle to break down boulders for example.

Since I finished Starfield. I’ve had an itch for more space exploration. I decided to get back into Elite Dangerous. I haven’t played it for a good couple years. I bought the latest DLC for it when it was released. I just never got around to playing it. I’m absolutely loving the space legs.

I’ve been going from system to system. Mapping each planet and moon. Landing on those that I can. Exploring for geological features and biology samples. All while marathoning my favourite YouTube channels.

I haven’t played the games I’m about to recommend.

2. Medieval Dynasty - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1129580/Medieval_Dynasty

Is it Life Simulator type games you’re interested in? Or just specifically those concerning mining, smithing, and forging?

Especially with a decent modpack. Specifically, one that comes with Tinker’s Construct.

Honestly, the only reason I have Netflix in the first place is because it came bundled with my ISP. Can’t cancel it without phoning them up and I’m much too lazy to do so.

I recall a few games where I’ve had to limit the processor speed.

The weirdest one was an old adventure point and click. It was either “The 11th Hour” or “The 7th Guest”. It had a puzzle where you need to beat the CPU in a board game.

At the time it was released, it was possible. On a modern PC, not so much. The more powerful your processor, the more skilled the CPU was in the board game. Made it impossible.

I’ve been taking my sweet time with Baldur’s Gate 3. Getting close to the end at 300 odd hours in.

I’ll take a break every so often with Halls of Torment.

Before this I spent the last 5 months playing Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead.

People whose first love was Lara Croft on the PSX?

I’d recommend either Tidal or Qobuz. If you end up buying albums instead I would also recommend Roon (not a streaming service).
