Right now? I’m thinking of maybe doing another playthrough of Silent Hill 2’s remake. I want to try and finally beat Resident Evil 2 though, and I want to get another playthrough of Alan Wake II in as well. If I have extra time I want to try one of the Amnesia games as well

It’s a lot of fun to play through. It’s nice having a game that supports multiple playthroughs and isn’t extremely long. Though, for people who don’t like multiple playthroughs i imagine such a short game hurts the experience

Ah. I should have known that was the case with the 1800/1900s and its love of smoking lol

That’s where I got all my used parts too. I don’t have as many issues with eBay as I do with other online marketplaces luckily (and as far as I know they haven’t done anything scummy which is a plus), but something about it just rubs me the wrong way. Idk what it is

I was watching this the other day actually. I forgot about it when I was following the power lines but now that you mention it again, yeah. That’s probably what put the thought in my head lol

The combat I’m a little iffy on. It’s not the worst thing, but sometimes it feels a little off

You can hunt a bunch of cryptids and the four horses of the apocalypse. That’s what I can remember off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s something else I’m missing too

Same. I always get fun ideas for builds but then look at PC part prices and go “no way I can afford that” and the idea just sits there lol.
I once saw a PC at my local Career Center in the Computer Engineer class that was filled with Mineral Oil irc (because it’s non conductive). That idea stuck with me because it was a very “why the fuck would you do that?” unhinged idea. They also had one with a screen slapped into the side.

The fake crash sent shivers down my spine even though a part of me knew it was just the scarecrow section fucking with me.

Man, this sucks. I haven’t played any games like this in a while (i legit have my guitar hero mounted on the wall) but it sucks to see something like this going away

It’s been a while since i read with my short attention span making it hard. I do appreciate fantasy and have a secret soft spot for romantasy in specific though, so i’ll have to take a look.

Humble has a bundle going too with like all their games included, at least last I checked. It even had Alan Wake II irc

My guess is the issue with the older case would be more so thermals. With the size of modern GPUs I wouldn’t be surprised if I ran into some issues though.
SFF computers are crazy. I had a HP Compaq for my first “gaming PC” (4 GB of RAM and a 32 bit CPU in 2016). As expected it struggled to run most things. Still, for its age and tiny ass size it did really well with things I wouldn’t expect it too

Unfortunately they don’t grow out of it. I have a friend who still spends upwards of hundreds of dollars on games, especially Gacha games. It’s an addiction that i worry won’t be stopped

360 version was so much fun. It had this feel to it i don’t think any of the newer versions really quite have
- Comment on Day 441 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 days ago:
I’ve always thought about trying it out, and i think at one point i tried it for a few seconds but something just felt off? I want to give it another try though some day
- Comment on Day 441 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 days ago:
360 was where i got my start. Something about 4j’s tutorial world is oddly charming. I love bouncing back to the alpha though on Java

My PC isn’t anything special. I was cheap about the case (if i had my way though i wanted to put it in a old Beige PC case). Specwise it’s a Ryzen 7 3700x, 32 GB of DDR4 RAM, and a Radeon RX 7600 XT. It’s enough to run most modern games on Medium without breaking the bank.
I think in total it cost me around 900$? I remember i got the CPU really cheap (one of the pins were bent and i had to straighten it out) and the GPU i got a good deal on too.

That’s my suggested way of playing the games (unless you’re looking to try and get closer too the original hardware with filters and stuff). The QOL features really make it worth it

Ooh, yeah, now that you mention it those are two other consoles i try to avoid emulating. I have a 3DS i still use regularly, but man, it does suck that there’s no comfortable way to play the DS/3DS games emulated on a PC
- Comment on Day 440 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
The QOL are definitely what makes it worth it. The only console I prefer OG hardware is probably the Wii and N64, and only because there’s not really a uniform way to capture the controls. Even then, there’s adapters for both controllers (I just don’t have any) and for N64 most games you can work around the controls in some capacity with only a little jank

Ooh, that is an interesting idea. Isn’t 8’s version of the map a little different? Maybe after 21 years, at some point the expansion is finished and that’s actually what we’re driving on
- Comment on Day 440 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
I do actually own original hardware, it’s a bit of a headache to setup though so I really only use it for situations where I feel like its controls are really needed or just special occasions. So usually I emulate.
I chose Lemmy because I liked how small the community was if that makes any sense? Like, I won’t complain if it gets bigger, but there’s something nice about refreshing the page a few hours later and instead of getting an onslaught of new posts to consume, it’s just a few new posts stacked on top of the old ones from before.
I guess if I had to summarize it, Lemmy feels a lot less like it’s trying to shove content down my throat which I appreciate. It makes interactions a bit rarer for me, but also makes them feel a bit more authentic
