Fuck off, Denuvo.

Yes, the Steam forums are awful, but still. Fuck off. Nobody wants you here.

This, so much this. As a car enjoyer, seeing cars slowly mutate into giant bloated expensive iPads on wheels is painful. I don't want to buy any car made past 2010 and I know that won't be a viable option soon.

Came here to mention just that. Base Stalker has some nice storms, but the mods built into Gamma make those absolutely terrifying. I think I genuinely fear the weather more than any mutated monster in the Zone.

As long as the .modern AAA game development scene is still incapable of making GOOD new games that at least match their old beloved titles, I'll take the remakes of the old games instead.

Demonoid, absolutely! Warez-bb, and many oldschool GeoCities blogs. I remember one that had portable cracks of any programs you could imagine.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago. My old laptop from 2013 is hardware incompatible with something in modern Windows10 and when it tried installing the late 2019 update it just died. Had to buy a new laptop to keep working.

Today, that same laptop is happily running Arch Linux. I'm still trying to decide what I'll do with the main gaming PC.

I like playing "Asuna" as a minecraft-adjacent experience, with a bunch of nice world generation mods already packed in. But I also have concocted my own modsoup on top of that, so it's also pretty far from the vanilla of that. There's other games that come up mostly ready for play, like Mesecraft or Voxelibre (that one being mostly an actual MC clone, also renamed) look around the content DB tho, there's a ton of nice stuff around.

This mod is awesome. It can convert any fully vanilla assets map pack into Doom 64 too. And there is a project that recreated Doom 64 maps in Doom 2 format. Yes you can stack them!

As someone who recently switched to Arch (btw) I finally figured out how much work the distros were doing in the background. Between default applications and configurations, there was a lot of stuff I had to learn to do on the fly. I'm happy with my system now though, since it's just the way I wanted it to be.

It doesn't help when your scummy studio is infamous for it's egregious DLC practices, nickel and diming basic game mechanics into a million separate packs. And then you have the gall to release a game as broken as that, after having the excellent prequel as comparison? And it's still broken, a year after the initial release.

Yeah you bet your ass that customers won't be accepting of that.

also, just noticed your username. Cool Eragon reference, took me a second to remember that it meant "dragon" in the elven language.

I mean, I played several other horde shooters. Firing continually while backpedaling is the most vintage of infantry tactics, after all. I get that these games are old and simpler, but their base gameplay must still be fun if they were so popular back in the day. I'll at least give it a shot, since I already have them anyway...
