Me too! Maybe the Steam name is just the boost the Linux market share needs. But wait, I thought Fry’s went out of business. Do they still exist, and the two near me just imploded?

Regardless, MicroCenter is way better, and also closer than either Fry’s was to me 😎

If he’s claiming he’ll drop the US out of NATO, why does he think his (concept of a) plan, for the alliance that he hates, has any weight at all? Fucking dipshit.

It’s amusing, but not very helpful. Granted, what could the average reader do with an exact size, besides adjust their level of panic?

On second thought, the first one is very easy to picture 😺😸

France or Belgium would be my guess. The box on top of the cabinet reads “Le temps des soupes”

Agreed. They need to retire that dogshit engine and write a new one. I know that’s a huge and expensive undertaking, which is why they probably won’t. TES6 will sell like hotcakes on its name alone.

I had been looking forward to TES6 for so damn long, but at this point the most exciting thing we can look forward to is the crazy glitches that speedrunners will discover. That is, if they’re not just the same glitches we’ve alll seen time and again.

When I read your comment, I internalized “sorted” as “sordid.” I guess either one works!

I was talking to a friend the other day and trying to convey how good that fight looks. In some ways it’s kind of cliché (the narrative flips on the “lightning” switch for effect), but it’s so well-done that it doesn’t matter. If you let yourself get swept up in the story, it’s so damn tense and emotional. And the music, oh my god…

Off-topic, but I finally beat TotK the other day and the experience was utterly transcendent. I’m still blown away. They seriously made up for the deflated final fight in BotW, and then some.

I don’t think I could find it, but there’s a different, older version of this meme with the same pic. The punchline is indeed the first part of this one, but it was done in a much more subtle way and didn’t ruin the joke by spelling it out with “murder instead of suicide.”

Shame on whoever stole the joke and then not only told it badly, but ended it with necrophilia.

Chrono Trigger is my favorite game of all time.

Every day I pray to whatever benevolent god(s) are out there that CT is never remade/remastered.

If it is, I hope it’s everything you want it to be, but I know I won’t be touching it.

Completely unrelated, but your comment reminded me of this old meme that always cracked me up

The only Zelda-like I can think of right now is Tunic. I haven’t finished it yet, but it’s a great game. It’s on PC and all the major consoles. I’d say it’s more like the pre-N64 Zeldas than the open-world ones. Also has an in-game manual that’s 100% inspired by the manual that came with the first Zelda on NES. Incredibly charming game.

Respect 👍 I still have all my old consoles and games from my childhood, all the way back to the NES. And I still collect classics that I didn’t grow up with. Hope you play yours on a good ol’ CRT :)

I really like DKR but I was never amazing at it. Especially the boss races. Killer soundtrack though. I listen to it more often than I play the game lol

In case you don’t know about it, there’s a cool site called Retro Achievements that has community-curated achievement sets for thousands of games (and leaderboards for specific tasks, like Mario 64’s Princess’ Secret Slide), and it integrates nicely with RetroArch and Dolphin (I haven’t looked into other emulators, but I’m sure there are other supported ones). It’s given me a great reason to play all my childhood games again, instead of playing them just to waste time.

Speaking of BK, I finished that set just last night and it was so satisfying. I’m sure you’d make short work of the DKR achievements!

Came here to say this! Take my upvote!

They live kinda far away but I’ll definitely do that next time I see him!

Holy shit lol, that’s my sister and her cat! I never thought I’d see them on Lemmy!

You’re right. I wasn’t sure if you were talking about new or old games. I’ll always encourage owning ROMs as opposed to paying monthly to access them for the few years they’ll be available on [current device]. And with such a tiny library, too.

Then there are other factors, like not being able to access certain versions (Nintendo offers only the Shindou version of SM64 because breaking an ancient single player game for fun is verboten).

Not even just out of spite. In a way its another form of “voting with one’s wallet”. It will affect their sales, and if their heads aren’t too far up their assess (like, sitting on their own shoulders), they’ll finally get a clue.

But I’m not holding my breath.

This is really cool, thanks for sharing!

You can find plenty of ISO files on archive.org. I’m not sure about the legality of it, so I’ll say I don’t condone doing it, etc. But some of them have been there for several years, so I think MS doesn’t care.

Just be careful about clinking links in the user comments. People have been known to post shady links and moderation seems to be lacking, from what I’ve seen.

Good luck getting your game to run! Oh, and long live archive.org!
