No One Lives Forever and NOLF2 get my vote. I enjoyed them a great deal back in the day and would love to have another bash at them now, albeit with a lick of paint.

Symlink each individual file, obviously.

Perhaps it's just me having different priorities, but I have no interest in making small talk with lots of people. There's plenty of spaces for that already whilst the spaces for enthusiasts have been sacrificed to the general public.

I'm not arguing this specifically about Lemmy, or trying to suggest policy, I'm just chipping in that there's at least something to be said for not trying to make all social spaces for all people.

Not inherently. I have the option of having the lease company handle insurance, but it's much more cost effective not to.

Amazing, I needed something like that a few months ago (and will need again in future).

I'm actually looking to move from owning to leasing a car because it's been false economy. The maintenance costs and stress have been so high as to make it cheaper to pay a few hundred quid each month.

No, don't trouble yourselves, I'll just use something else.

Not particularly paranoid. I have clothes with my username on!

I feel like Lemmy is substantially less combative. Reddit has become so very hostile over the years and every thread felt like someone was about to start a fight. Not that there isn't any here, but there feels like a normal amount, rather than an over-representation of people spoiling for a fight.

They don't have the same problem for me at all. I really enjoyed Freelancer, for example.

It'd legitimately be easier to fit an arcade cabinet in my house than space for proper VR play.

It's an odd one for me. I think it's related to how I like to spend my relaxation time. I don't want any significant challenge (I have lots of other stuff in my life that scratches that itch, often too much...) and I don't want to be particularly uncomfortable. I hate games that try to grade my performance (league tables, onscreen timers, ranking systems). I'm not necessarily bad at them - I just do not like the approach.

I've not played Baldur's Gate 3, unfortunately, so I can't comment on that.

I'm trying to figure out why I don't find The Binding of Isaac uncomfortable. It might be because I disable the oppressive soundtrack and know that the maps are actually quite sprawling, often with many ways to approach problems. Hmmm...
