Yeah except Palworld has joined Sony for their multimedia franchise, so potentially they can get a lot of monetary and legal support from that. Nintendo took way too long to actually do this frivolous lawsuit.

Let them fight.

Fuck. This is me with music production about a month ago. I produced exactly 5 seconds of music trying to learn it after several days of endlessly learning about it.

It's amazing that it's still the best rally sim to this day. This game is old enough to drink in the States.

Why am I not surprised.

Welcome! Emulation is probably my favorite method of gaming nowadays, giving me access to most of the classics of gaming from over 20 years of history all at once. If you have a decent computer you get get everything up to the PS3 generation easily, and a less powerful one or a phone can go up to the PS2 or PS1 gens, still giving you plenty of gaming options. I have found so many games and genres I would normally not get into, by trying them out via emulation. Arcade games, especially. I love arcade shmups of the 90's and early 2000s.

there is an emulation community on lemmy.ml and another at lemmy.world but I would understand if you don't want to interact with those. I am kinda surprised dbzer0 doesn't have one.

Hm. Maybe I'll do it, then. Don't know if I got the patience to admin a community but I am an emulation enthusiast.

We all need to be our own archivists in this day and age. The internet isn't forever, it's a constantly burning Library of Alexandria. I'm glad you found your lost media again.

Yes, yes it is. The term coined by the Ubishit CEO trying to cover his own ass by claiming that Skull and Bones took so much time and money to make, and was being sold for higher than $60 (while still being a pile of shit) by saying it was a "AAAA game" and the term stuck. I mean, it's own very first use was to describe a terrible AAA game. It's only natural.

It's open, it's free, and it's fun! It's got a ton of mods and custom games to make it whatever you want out of a voxel game. That's everything I need.

Shoutouts to the Asuna game.

It's a game about WW1. It came out a few years ago, before Battlefield V iirc.

I have been having an absolute BLAST with this new version since yesterday. The news of this and the subseauent drop as a free update for the versions I already owned on GoG and on the Switch just made my whole week, where I was bumned by the Helldivers bullshit.

A solid new port by Nightdive, implementing most of the modern mapping techniques, able to run a LOT of custom content that was created over the past 30 years. Plus extra artworks, bonus IDKFA soubdtrack by Andrew Hulshult, addon downloads on all platforms (with user sent ones on the PC), and 16 player multiplayer?

This is now the immediate response to anyone who wants to get into Doom nowadays. No need to fiddle with sourceports or go chase obscure mods, they're ALL there. If you get more into Doom modding after that, you can go after all those things later. It's great!

Love me playing some Minetest with the Asuna game. It's the perfect expansion of the basic game formula and a beautiful world to put other mods on top of.

I tend to not go that far back usually, mostly hovering around the mid 90's and 2000's with my retrogaming, but does it count if I've played some rounds of NES Tetris?

I'm currently reading a fantasy book from 1984 if that doesn't count.

It should run, the Unity port before this worked, right? I'll try installing the GoG version on Linux tomorrow, but I already played it on my Switch too and it ran great. Just like the Quake rereleases

Well this one was incredibly easy to identify, even with mods.

Doom is almost always my answer. Especially with the fresh Nightdive rerelease!

Anyway I've been playing EDF5 again online, and Kaido Racer on the PS2, a lovely street racing game about the mountain roads of Japan.

Armored Core 6 is pretty easy to 100% and it's really enjoyable the whole way there. Just don't bother with PvP.

And my favorite 100% grinding game that I keep playing just because I enjoy it so much, is the Earth Defense Force series. The game encourages you to play each mission with each of the 4 classes in each of the 5 difficulty levels. Even though clearing Hard also gives you Easy and Normal completion too, you're still looking at over 200 hours of gameplay, easily. The games have over 100 missions, tons of weapons to gradually improve, and at higher levels become true combat puzzles to solve with said weapons. Cheese is a way of life, in an enjoyable way.

EDF!! This is one of my favorite series and one I'm very hyped for again due to the new sequel. Definitely recommend it as a fun coop experience with friends, blowing up hordes of giant alien insects, robots, flying saucers and legally-distinct Kaijus.

Isn't this by the same guy who made Art of Rally? Either way, it's going into my wishlist.

I aspire to have enough storage to do that someday.

Or Quake! Even though I suck at arena shooters, any of them I'd want to hop in for.

This run, I started with a Toyota Vitz because of the Gran Turismo meme. Even painted it pink and all. Many cars are viable in this game, I'm currently tearing through most rivals with a Subaru Impreza Wagon! The thing you must notice, however, is that the game heavily relies on upgrading and tuning your car. And, many upgrades don't initially do anything tangible to your car until you manually mess with them. Upgraded transmission, go in there and set shorter gear ratios. Upgraded suspension, go in there and mess with hardening the springs and dampeners, change wheel alignment and lower the ride height. You can touch up almost any setup section you can think of, it's really a car game for gear heads. But that's why I love it. I think it's even more in depth in that aspect than even Gran Turismo, even if it's not trying to be a super realistic sim. The whole Tokyo Xtreme Racer franchise is like that, although the highway racers are much more hardcore. TXR Zero is straight up unfair if you're playing sub optimally.

oohh that is nice, I think I'll swap my nano to that.

"Who has power to destroy something, is the one who holds true control over it." Or something, I never conquered a planet. Thank you Paul Atreides, very cool.

That is a nice way of measuring control over your own devices and systems, though.

I had done the same, and did the upgrade. So far I haven't seen any issues with audio. Just remember to reboot after the upgrade is done.

I would ABSOLUTELY attend a local tournament for AC6. The netcode is absolute ASS but the gameplay is so crisp, if we could play it without lag or ghost hits it would be great.

I think I'm about 40 hours in? I have unlocked all but one track in the game until now. You gotta remember to check the "internet forums" to challenge the leaders of every track, and get hints of how to find new rivals. After some point when you get sponsors, money stops being an issue, even if you can't farm races during the day.
