I'm still playing Rimworld
Regardless, I never spend more than $20 on a game, wait for the "Game of the Year Platinum Super Edition" to go on sale. It works every time!

Isn't each rimworld DLC more than 20USD? Though I play it enough to easily be worth it.
Same. Got the base Cyberpunk 2077 game for $18. And then got the dlc for $18. Best $36 I've spent on a game in a long time.

All hail the ability to emulate console games up to a certain generation well enough on even lower end hardware.
Ain't no other way to officially enjoy classics like Tony Hawk Pro Skater ( best on Dreamcast IMO ). Probably one of the greatest skater games, just behind a game like Skate 2. But maybe that's the nostalgia talking...
What about playing them on the original consoles? I've got a Game Cube and PS3 I still use occasionally, and a PS2 that I haven't tried in a long time but would give it 50/50 for just booting up if I hooked it up, plus some portion of the failure 50% includes the possibility of repairing it.
Original console, in most cases, is probably gonna be the better option IMO. But due to the rising cost of everything, games/consoles included, emulation is better from a purely price saving standpoint. I am lucky enough to have so many consoles, but I still emulate or use console softmods because I can't afford every game I want.
I also love how emulators make 40 year old games much more playable with features like state save.

Cyberpunk 2077 is 6 years old. May pirate and try out before realizing my pc can't run it.

I love that he says "splendid" in response to his own point
That's honestly my favorite part of this template
I like how they both say it at the same time
Skyrim, Fallout NV, Diablo II, modded to fuck Dungeon Keeper, Age Of Empires II, so many more. I’m set for life
Modded to What?
Sounds dope, though. Enjoy your peace, king
I know nothing of the Diablo 2 modding scene but there better be a sex mod.

How do you mod dungeon keeper
KeeperFX is a modern port of the game that makes it run on modern pcs. It needs the base game of course but it comes with mod support so after you install keeperfx, mods are basically plug&play

Morrowind, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Saints Row 2, GTA San Andreas, Ultima, beside few indies, Pragmata and Fallout, this and retro console games are my main playthroughs
Fallout New Vegas
You had me worried. Surely Fallout New Vegas isn't a 20 year old game? But no, it only came out 16 years ago. Crisis averted.
Good news! Bethesda is surely about to release a patch that fixes nothing you need and breaks all your mods, just like Skyrim the other day again!
I got annoyed with Skyrim on ps3 because of annoying save/load times and broken quests that I couldn’t patch or fix.
If I try Fallout NV on ps3 will I have a better time?
Well, thank God than my copy is from GoG and only update if i choose it
Still got Dosbox and a bunch of classics like Wing Commander, The Incredible Machine and Space/King's Quest.
I got a XP PC for playing Sims 2 and 3, especially 3 is such a mess that it don't really work on anything else, even if it kinda runs.. Also some Lego games and such I used to play as a kid. Well, anything XP era runs, obviously. Just stick/disc it in.
Now I have been cleaning my PS3 (stolen from an ex, added in a bigger SSD) and buying some used games on it from trift stores, for about 2-3€ a piece.. Looking forward for playing that new (for me) GTA! (IV) We also have like.. two PS1s and at least two PS2s. I also still have my PS4, but gonna sell that once I get around. I need money for my offline Linux PC project.. Chose a case that requires a single-slot GPU, send prayers and so on.
especially 3 is such a mess that it don't really work on anything else
It does work wonders on Proton.
Interesting! I'm beginner with Linux and haven't really touched or looked into Protons and Vines and those things, but very interesting! On Win10 or Win11 it's not great at all, but Win7 was still alright.. Even when that PC obviously had less of everything.
Retro game prices have been skyrocketing too. Everything's kinda fucked.
Just soft mod your console or get a flash cart and sail the high seas.
Dwarf fortress is around 20 years old so that checks
Laughing in 99 woodcutting
Any old mmo enjoyers with a game with an active community to link a fella? Was a fiend for RF online back in the day it was sci-fantasy before I knew what sci fantasy was haha!
Clan Lord
I played it during the beta way back in ‘97(?) but couldn’t continue when it went to a monthly subscription due to being a teen. I found out it was still going 3 years ago and became re-addicted.
Now a character is $15USD and no money is asked for after that. No micro-transactions or nuthin’.
The graphics maintain the ‘97 2D top-down style with chat bubbles, but the game still gets monthly updates.

The community is super friendly and helpful and some players have been playing since the start. It’s deceptively deep and there’s wikis to help you figure out what’s going on, but I don’t want to overload you with links right now.
There’s a discord too, but I’d rather you ask for it in-game to avoid and non-clanners causing trouble

TrackMania United quite literally Forever Kinda wish there would be some effort for a de compilation or custom engine for linux but for that its probably too modern to be feasible.
UT2004 still bops. If I suddenly stopped being able to buy new games, that one would keep me entertained for at least another decade.
That's me except with UT 1999! As long as the community servers are still there, I'm good.
Lol, Oblivion ftw
Oblivions not 20 years old lol
... Oh. Oh no.
Morrowind was peak Elder Scrolls, imo.

I just spent the summer playing all of the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS Castlevania games. The series had its ups and downs, but the games are still fun. I think the DS titles still hold up very well.
I’m playing Goldeneye on N64
Have you heard of agent 64: spies never die? I'm curious if anyone around here has played it and what their impressions are.

Even if it's just 10-15, Zomboid, Oxygen Not Included, Factorio, Isaac, and Risk of Rain, are thousands of possible fun hours, even without rotation
Most of my games are from the 2010s, don't really need to get a better GPU. Factorio megafactories will probably always enjoy faster CPUs though.
