Are you playing it on disc by any chance? I know that I couldn’t get it working due to “Games for Windows Live”. I had to purchase it a second time on Steam before it worked (since they removed GFWL from the Steam and GOG versions).

Have you looked through PCGamingWiki?

This sounds like a plot straight from Gintama.

I just checked the compatibility list for PCSX2.
Baldur’s Gate DA1 - …pcsx2.net/Thread-Baldur-s-Gate-Dark-Alliance-SLU…
Baldur’s Gate DA2 - …pcsx2.net/Thread-Baldur-s-Gate-Dark-Alliance-2-S…
Both games seem to be fully playable from start to end. DA1 has a fix listed for some of the issues. DA2 has a 4GB patch listed.
You might want to try both of these if you decide to give them another go.

Honestly, I think if a game was good back then, it’s still good now. There’s just a bit of an adjustment period.

Are there any types of games you enjoy in particular? Favourite genres and series?

How about Planet Crafter? You crash land on a planet and you have to terraform the planet using the materials you gather.
There’s also Occupy Mars. This is more realistic. It’s just that there’s one aspect of it that I think you might love.

Using a drill, crane and vehicle to break down boulders for example.

Since I finished Starfield. I’ve had an itch for more space exploration. I decided to get back into Elite Dangerous. I haven’t played it for a good couple years. I bought the latest DLC for it when it was released. I just never got around to playing it. I’m absolutely loving the space legs.
I’ve been going from system to system. Mapping each planet and moon. Landing on those that I can. Exploring for geological features and biology samples. All while marathoning my favourite YouTube channels.

I haven’t played the games I’m about to recommend.
Is it Life Simulator type games you’re interested in? Or just specifically those concerning mining, smithing, and forging?

Especially with a decent modpack. Specifically, one that comes with Tinker’s Construct.

This type of stuff always reminds me of “Welcome to Nightvale”.
- Comment on Streaming Has Reached Its Sad, Predictable Fate | What should I watch? is now a much easier question than How do I watch it? 1 year ago:
Honestly, the only reason I have Netflix in the first place is because it came bundled with my ISP. Can’t cancel it without phoning them up and I’m much too lazy to do so.
- Comment on Low Sodium Starfield 1 year ago:
Personally, I don’t really bother with keeping up with things like upcoming releases, reviews, teasers and trailers.
Not only to avoid the hype but also because there have been a couple of occasions when watching a single review or trailer on YouTube led to me getting a recommended video of the game during the release week, and that video had a massive spoiler in its title.
I prefer to go into it completely blind. Maybe I just have incredibly low standards though. Some of my favourite games are those which were widely hated.
Although after spending 10+ years on Reddit (which I’ve since quit using). Even the dedicated game subs are full of bitching and constant arguments, and God help you if you’re a fan of MMORPG’s cause that sub seems to absolutely despise them.

It still goes to the cargo hold. You won’t lose anything. You just end up with a cargo showing 700/400 or similar.
- Comment on Saints Row developer Volition permanently shuts down 1 year ago:
I recall a few games where I’ve had to limit the processor speed.
The weirdest one was an old adventure point and click. It was either “The 11th Hour” or “The 7th Guest”. It had a puzzle where you need to beat the CPU in a board game.
At the time it was released, it was possible. On a modern PC, not so much. The more powerful your processor, the more skilled the CPU was in the board game. Made it impossible.
