yet another shout out for Space Station 14, a fully open source almost-massively multiplayer game with tons of forks being actively developed with lots of cross pollination of ideas and mechanics between them.

outrageously fun gameplay, totally free, easily modified, decently easy to set up ones own server

also totally cross platform between linux, mac, and windows

Dwarf Fortress is 20 years old and still only has half the planned features. Tarn will be working on it until he croaks. Bless that man.

It's kind of blown my mind to learn about the development of that game. UnReal World's similar how it started development in like the 90's and the guys still just keep working on it like a group hobby. Love that for them

Did you see the /NoClip documentary?

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 hours ago

I have not. My exposure to it was through Frederick Knudson DownTheRabbithole.

I'll go look that up though if there's more to be heard

My ADHD would never. I'd love to have a forever project, but the unending crave for novelty would never allow me.

The amount of simulations is still looking for its match. Hell, it reminds me of the possible best simulation: Dwarfes are having a party. Someone spills their beer. A cat walks through the beer puddle. The cat cleans its paws. The cat becomes drunk from the beer on its paws.

The graphic is rather old, even the steam version or with "Lazy Newb Pack", but it is still !!FUN!!.

Flashpoint is amazing!

Fuck yes I'm so happy people did this. This is art preservation

Right now is the best time to play old games. Retro gaming handhelds have never been better, and honestly there's little to improve in them at this point.

Get yourself a retro handheld for as little as $100, that will feel more premium than a Steam Deck, and start playing games that came out before you were born.

I've genuinely forgotten how bad the current video game industry is, because I'm so busy having a blast with older/retro titles.

Highly recommend to all gamers.

how old do you think i am

[–] psycosulu@ani.social 6 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

About to say, I'm older than Pac-Man :D

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

my cool SIL is way too into Ms. Pacman because that was her game at the arcade.

i can't solder for shit, but i could code a mame console to run that for her 50th

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 12 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (2 children)

I mean Warcraft II is still the shit. As is classic doom, carmageddon, Aoe,... you name it.

I have this urge to revisit Dune 2000 but my life is a bit hectic. Boys+Sports...

[–] Waffelmeister@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

I still play Warcraft III - Frozzen Throne. So many custom maps. I've got enough gaming content for another 10 years.

I mostly play minecraft and indies, i am relatively safe lmao, what can happen? Mojang stop to update the game? Great now everyone will make mods on the same version lol

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 54 minutes ago

lmao, what can happen?

Microsoft, a company i never did business with during my purchase of Minecraft, stole my copy because I didnt learn about the account migration in time.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

????? so i have some bad news about minecraft...

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

That there's an open source alternative which is gaining momentum?

Edit: oh bad news the Microsoft

You can log in Minecraft (Java) without using Microsoft authentication servers (and even if we couldn't, we could just mod it in the game tbf)

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I was not able the last time I tried...

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 1 points 8 hours ago

What launcher have you used?

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 8 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Everyone about that GTAVI life while I'm in the Fire Emblem and Yakuza mines trying to make a dent in the 50 million games each of those series have, because every time I finish one they release three more 🫩

Japan...please...stop...I beg you. I feel as overworked as the devs working for you.

[–] Datz@szmer.info 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

On top of FE and Yakuza, I've still got like 10 Shin Megami Tensei games to go through, after playing (what feels like) 20+. It never ends.

I'm having a blast with all of the old God of War games currently. 🥰

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

i tried so hard to get them to work on my ps2. those damn gold discs.

i can emulate a ps2 now. thanks for the idea.

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

All of them have PS3 ports (God of War Collection Vol. 1+2), even the PSP games.

God of War III even got a PS4 remaster. :)

i was a fool and went xbox that generation because of the online bullshit. i had to "make a point with my wallet" it's not like i enjoy online games anyways.

i should boot mine up and play costume quest tho, that was fun

Indie devs are fucking killing it, though. A lot of bangers have been coming out.

I’m currently obsessed with How Many Dudes? That game is so much fun.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 6 points 18 hours ago

Not quite, rimworld and factorio are only around 13 years old.
