GoOnASteamTrain,

In case anyone is following this: Eurogamer are reporting that Game have denied this.

I really hope game will still sell… games, but am cynically wondering if they are measuring the reaction from this to make a decision. :/

GoOnASteamTrain,

Aw I miss my dog! I used to say he’d walk into a room and think “Hi everyone! I’m a dog! Someone should play with me I think this would be good!”

GoOnASteamTrain,

Thank you, that’s really kind. All the more reason to enjoy that time! :)

It’s been a few years, and the way you described your dog made me smile more than anything :)

GoOnASteamTrain,

I can second this! For me it meant that I could finish my game of modded fallout new vegas, and connect to my work’s microsoft vpn nonsense (IT support didn’t fancy trying it on Mint but that’s another story!)

I now have a personal OS that I like, and a windows partition for those few things that I can’t be bothered to troubleshoot.

So far the list is just those things and the Unity Engine as Visual Studio debugs better than code in my experience. :)

Having the option to flick back is great :) In the XP days, I loved the WUBI(?) tool that let you install ubuntu dual boot as an exe, but I think that’s not a thing these days., :)

GoOnASteamTrain,

Oh fantastic! :) Thank you, next playthrough I will get things going on Linux in that case, as that’s new to me! :) Like a fool I tried nexus mods vortex in Wine initially because I didn’t know better!

GoOnASteamTrain,

:(

GoOnASteamTrain,

Heck yes! Earthbound! One of those games I felt was made perfectly to my taste :) funny, quirky, slightly uncomfortable… All great. :)

GoOnASteamTrain,

Darn it, I popped into this thread to suggest Thumb-Key, and was beaten to it by the maker of the keyboard!

Thank you for making my phone usage much faster and enjoyable (written using Thumb-Key of course!) :)

Which video games have been trapped on a hardware platform (console/handheld/headset/etc.) that you wish would be ported well?

I was reading about Oculus accounts that haven't been assimilated into Meta accounts being erased, & it got me thinking about games trapped on hardware platforms again. What are some of the games you wish would have good ports across different hardware?

GoOnASteamTrain,

Ugh that reminded me of getting “stuck” in Phoenix Wright 15 years ago because I didn’t have a microphone for my PC! What a disaster! That said, they did a steam remake, so that made me happy :)

GoOnASteamTrain,

I went and played Fallout 1 because I loved 3 so much… It took a few false starts (1 intelligence was a terrible call for a first playthrough lol, it ended bad)

Now I see it, 1 and 2 were so brilliant with the role playing and story that I can’t go back to 3! 😊 So many choices, strong characters, just brilliant.

GoOnASteamTrain,

Can’t you even skip one of those goals? What a great game 😁 It really does let you work it out, but not in an annoying puzzley way

GoOnASteamTrain,

To top up the happy tank, I love playing

  • Katamari games
  • OpenRA (Red Alert)
  • Wrestling games (Smackdown on PS1/2)
  • OpenRCT (Rollercoaster Tycoon)
  • Baldurs Gate 3
  • Mass Effect
  • Frog Detective 1, 2, 3
  • Game Dev Tycoon
GoOnASteamTrain,

That looks great, wishlisting tomorrow definitely! I miss simple racing games, so sounds like my cup of tea! :)

Hehe my lemmy client saw the game’s name as a link, and it went to a strange redirect thing! Here’s a link to the game if it helps anyone :) www.beamng.com/game/

GoOnASteamTrain,

Yay! There are dozens of us! A cheap trackball is one of the best things I have ever bought. No pain, and it is really accurate.

I did have a regular mouse in my pc too so that other people could use my pc without complaining, but donated it to one of the new people at work. But happy, nice mouse makes the day better.

GoOnASteamTrain,

Hehe I know exactly that feeling! Honestly I found the same with Skyrim, GTA5 and Witcher 3 - I can’t imagine spending 100+ hours on a game like that, knowing I’ll probably not finish it! I know it’s irrational but I’m the same. :)

I loved Disco Elysium and Life is Strange 1 because I truly did feel that I left no stone unturned in my playthroughs - it felt very “complete” and had such a satisfying ending that didn’t leave me wandering around a progressively more empty hand world.

I guess that’s a type of game preference - I love watching other people play big games like that, but can’t do it to myself as I feel it’s never “done.” :)

And yet… I’ll play a wrestling game for probably hundreds of hours, knowing fully beyond unlocking everything, there’s a game I can’t “finish” - weird really! :)
