Yeah the war has definitely affected the team a lot, and it’s very admirable they managed to release the game at all. Here’s hoping that with a few bug fixes and patches the game can be a solid entry to the series.

I can’t believe “the children yearn for the mines” is now an actual plot point

LOL no. The democrats are entirely supportive of israel despite the occasional virtue signaling. I don’t understand why people would put Kamala on a pedistal and say maybe she’s different.

Once the election was won, we could have rallied. We’d have been united finally, and she wouldn’t have needed Biden anymore.

This is not how real life works.

Now instead of a sympathetic president

She’s not sympathetic to anyone. You don’t become president out of love and good vibes. The options were either vote for nothing to change or vote for trump to make everything worse, yet people post fanfiction on how the US will suddenly be a utopia and we just need to give the dems one last chance

It’s a free update, but it’s listed as its own free DLC on Steam which is weird. I guess since it still has issues, they wanted it to be opt-in.

Yeah but it’s MSI, their quality control on all products is absolute garbage. Last I heard the hinges on their laptops still fail after 1-2 years.

In terms of 3D prince of persias, then I’d say The Sands of Time probably. It’s the most consistent and well-paced.

People love praising Warrior Within but I played it again recently and it doesn’t hold up. Lots of backtracking, lots of confusing camera angles and a frustrating world to get around. Dahaka is very cool though.

I don’t remember Two Thrones enough to comment on it, but I thought it was pretty good at the time.

Prince of Persia 2008 is my 2nd favorite and it still sucks that they never followed up on it. There’s a lot of room for improvement but it was a great entry.

Since it’s running Android, it might not even need Portmaster. You can run Windows games via Winlator. The chip in this thing isn’t bad, so it should be able to run most 2D games no problem

What’s wild to me is, that Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom didn’t appear once on this list.

Makes sense to me IMO. 2023 was a stacked year, and while TotK was a pretty good game, it was way too close to Breath of the Wild for me to even consider it as game of the year. Other games that could’ve won the award over it include Alan Wake 2, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Hi-Fi Rush, and Octopath Traveler 2.

Almost every content creator I watch say their VR headsets are collecting dust. Part of that is because there aren’t many good VR games, but also I think there are very few types of games that are fun in VR. They’re just not made for long-term play, you’ll quickly get exhausted in half an hour and want to rest your eyes (or if you’re playing something movement heavy like Beat Saber, rest your body as well).

I tried Skyrim VR, albeit the vanilla version. It sucked. Once you get over the initial hype of “wow, it’s like I’m really there!” you quickly start to realize that VR adds nothing to the experience. It’s the same game, except way clunkier with broken combat and makes you dizzy after some time. Most VR games feel similarly shallow. Even when it comes to racing games which I thought would be killer in a headset, I came away realizing I’d prefer just playing it on a flat screen.

I don’t know where you live, but here there are a couple of places where you can try a headset. I would recommend finding a way to try it first before buying.

Okay man, we get it. You like Bluesky. You’ve posted at least 10 articles of people moving from X to Bluesky.

Even more confusing considering Citra is a well-known 3DS emulator, so you’d think that’s a fork of that

Blood of Zeus is an obvious one

Dude’s almost 60 years old. I really don’t understand the hype of watching someone fight a retired athlete.

Sweeeeeeet! I had HL2 on my ancient Steam account that I lost ages ago, it feels right to have it back in my library all these years later.

The anniversary update sounds tempting, but I think I’ll wait for HL2 RTX before replaying it.

Really good bundle if someone has never played these, but sorely lacking Tales from the Borderlands!

Not to mention the internet wasn’t as secure as it is now. There was lots of malicious code everywhere. Oh, and if you write a typo in any website’s name there was a 50/50 chance you’ll be redirected to porn.

Oh thank god, I might actually consider buying one now that it’s not Exynos

Fair warning though: Vintage Story is vveeeeeerrrryyyyyy slow paced and involved. Making a pickaxe for ex requires you to find copper nuggets scattered on the floor, making a mold, heating the copper in a crucible, casting it, then waiting for it to cool.

Brand names have gotten worse, that’s not you. Cost saving measures upon making sizes smaller while still raising prices. I swear, KFC mid-2000’s was amazing compared to the bland oily ones of today. That said, you probably have gotten desensitized to them in general as you grew older too.

Local fast food is still really good for me, but I’d just avoid major brands like Mcdonalds. They’ve become synonymous with trash food.
