Still have mirrors edge to continue, but this week i actually started setting up my own wow private server for some old buddies to play on. Will start for real after summer when they are more inclined towards gaming again. So far pretty fun to do (even thoguh just solo testing so far). I played a lot of wow 20 yrs ago

And if I don’t it’s because I’ve misplaced it, and the program isn’t going to help with that :(

In that case it will help you with where it was supposed to be

I dont think most android users know you can install alternstive app stores and otherwise sideload apps

Mirrors edge. Started a few weeks ago and been getting a couple of sessions in since. Its quite fun but also very frustrating. The controls are almost there but its just janky enough for me to die stupidly at the same spot over and over if it requires some combination of actions that is difficult. I somehow survived jumping from a subway cart to another without understanding how i actually was supposed to do it properly. And the combat i dont like. But will likely try to play thru it.

I also just discovered that xenia has a linux build now so i will be exploring some x360 games in the near future to see the state of it.

Yea me too, there are certain aspects of emulation that gives a better experience that in my opinion makes up for not playing on original hardware, such as save states and fast forwarding. I dont have the time to play games for two hours at the time often so if save options are scarce i wont progress without save states. And skies of arcadia would have been a nightmare to play without fast forward, i think i skipped 6-8 hrs of repetitive attack animations in my playthrough (as judged by diff in play time in retroarch vs in-game).

But i would love to play on original hardware once in a while still

I first got mirrors edge around the time it came out, but didnt play it much, think it was because of stability issues. Then ive always meant to play through it but never got around to.

And while you can only ever experience portal for the first time once, it is still fun to play thorugh again, especially if its some time ago and you dont remember how to solve everything.

I picked up portal 1 again, one of my favorite games. And then i also tried frostpunk a little. Seems cool but so far i suck at keeping the people warm

I also picked up a bunch of games on gog and might finally get around to play mirrors edge if it plays nice with proton.

I saw this some days ago and decided to buy ut only to realize i already owned it 🫠

What? I remember only small parts of the game being an rts. Didnt really like that part, but it was definitely not “the entire game”

Ive been a nintendo fan my entire childhood and early adult life. I would say i am (at least clasically) nintendos target audience. I agree with the sentiments in the video. Nintendo is doing a lot of shitty consumer hostile things and people forking up ever increasing prices for decade old games will only validate their business practices and quality will further decay (like the games industry in general). That is essentially what he is saying. I will not buy the switch 2 (this video did not change my stance either way)

Granted his overly negative rant was a bit tiresome, it felt like he was impersonating the angry nintendo nerd without the comedy. But that just feels like any other yt video rant these days

Iirc (and the story was not complete bogus) the first game was designed for it but some exec didnt like it and forced hud and minimap late in development and is why it feels easy and repetitive if you play with minimap. Wouldnt be surpirsed if ac2 then was not developed with that in mind and would explain why it doesnt work as well

For those more updated than me, what are your thoughts on Skyblivion and Skywind?

I love my surface duo for ds emulation!

I recently finished main story in bully on ps2 (emu). About 55% completion after end mission, and 11 hrs. Did some additional missions to get me up to about 65% and then retired the game as im not all that crazy about hunting down blue rubber bands and whatnot. Did most of the classes, but lacked a few art and photography.

Moved to another ps2 title now: jak & daxter the precursor legacy. No experience with this series before, but enjoyable first 45 mins which is what i have been able to play so far.

Neverwinter nights still on the backburner for now, and tomorrow i will play some kind of multiplayer game with an old uni buddy of mine, but not decided which one yet

When watching some videos from retro game youtube channels, they tend to point to how much more daring they were back then, and all new games will just safe it. New aaa games cost so much they cant fail, but then a flop was to a larger extend “meh” and move on for the studio. Guess that made some of these games feel more freaky as you say

I just completed bully on the ps2 (emulated on pcsx2)! Had a lot of fun, planning on going for jak & daxter series next i think. I never owned the console myself, so there are many gems ive never tried, and many i only played at friends houses sporadically.

This thread is a gold mine for suggestions!

I love soulcalibur 2! I played it (and still play sometimes) on gamecube tho, but apart from a different special character (link from zelda in the gc version), its the same game. Tried soulcalibur 3 as well, but didnt really get into it - cant put my finger on why, but it was ages since i tried 3

Ive never used their software, but it exists for android, so maybe you can use it on linux with waydroid?

I have the original and it works both with 2.4ghz and bluetooth out of the box. Been a very good experience.

Id have thought he would choose a language he had a better grasp of
