Bitter sweet because I'm pretty sure this means we lost real one. RIP

It's church thrift store run by elderly people and they get overwhelmed and will just toss anything on a whim. They practically give away the stuff they do sell.

The others that were piled up in the bottom of the box. Some of the discs had fallen out of the cases and sleeves but they all seemed fine except for one: Half-Life GOTY disc got a few tiny fatal cracks. A lot of software and bargain bin games have been excluded.

There were two discs that go with two joysticks I have. I have a sidewinder somewhere but couldn't bother looking for it for the pic. https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1860493f-80f8-44e0-9a02-bf763c6224c1.jpeg

At least Starcraft II with Wings of Liberty campaign is free to play now. SC2 is still going, new patches still coming out, although with a relatively small community.

I should give it a try with the graphics turned way down. When I first played, there was so much flashy stuff on the screen that I couldn't see what mattered.

That's how the pros play, turn down everything except textures. Personally I'm too much a glutton for FX.
