She was just playing a fun N64 Goldeneye game mode, leave her alone

Very much free space 2 here. 99 was a fine year for games.

Deus ex and system shock 2 should definitely be on a retro shooter/rpg list. Shock 1, you’d probably be better off playing night dives shock remake from last year… or perhaps a modified remaster of the OG. The controls from shock1 are outright painful

I will do a day one purchase despite being too busy with factorio expansion to actually start it just yet.
- Comment on Half-Life 2 is currently 100% off for its 20th anniversary, plus a major update 1 month ago:
Ah yes, the game that made me get a Steam account, so looks like my steam account is days from it’s 20th anniversary.
God damn did I hate Valve for making me get steam back then, I was on dialup and getting Steam to launch was a utter nightmare, and I HAD to have it to play HL2? F you gaben!
Fast forward 20 years and I’m eagerly awaiting the AU launch of the steam deck and reminiscing of how good steam has been for me…
- Comment on Bill Bailey on ABC Classic plays a theme tune for the Australian Ibis 1 month ago:
Saw his show in Melb Tuesday, was a ripper. Except the part where he asked the crowd for those in love with someone to make some noise and my wife didn’t bat an eyelid. Of all the ways to find out…
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 released in December 2020. Almost 4 years later, what is your opinion on it? 1 month ago:
Really enjoyed it, only recently finished a run with expansion and some QOL mods. Excellent visuals (with RTX), and if your into the theme the story was fun and pretty good. Not perfect by any stretch but solid. Gameplay mechanics is fairly engaging after the 2.0 patch.
It is definitely sad it took so long to get to here though, it was broken on launch beyond bugs - the builds you could do pre 1.5 were plain broken.
That said, we should celebrate anyone making single player games these days seriously, it feels like they are getting very thin on the ground.

Enjoy, it, Hyperion Cantos is far and away my all time favourite read (so far…)
