- Comment on If you ask Yoshi-P, kids don't care about Final Fantasy anymore because they're taking too long to come out 1 day ago:
@wopalopa @GamingBot when the demo of FF15 came out I was so excited about it I bought the spinoff FF game just to get the demo. The spinoff game was supposed to be good but imho it was another mess of weird royals, gunmen, chocobos that didn't fit and a story so convoluted and names so weird I was forgetting them 3 seconds after reading the dialogues

@wopalopa @GamingBot they abandoned the fun battle mechanics and deep storytelling a while back, it's all graphics now. Graphics is a lot of work, a lot. I remember zero from FF15, except the up and down with the damn car, I remember even less from FF13 and have skipped FF16 entirely

@A_Random_Idiot well for example Alpha Centauri and even Civ 2 were really easy for me. I used wine without any wrappers, I simply set an older Windows compatibility version in winecfg. StarCraft also worked easily though I wasn't able to set it to full screen properly on Wayland and had to re-login into Xorg for it. Let's see if OP provides us with more details

@noumenon it depends on how old! Are you talking Windows 95 old or Does old? Either way, step 1 I suggest is to start from Linux. Step 2 depends on your answer to the above :)

@ZippyBot more info here https://www.gamesradar.com/games/rpg/larians-next-rpg-is-a-new-divinity-and-its-even-larger-than-baldurs-gate-3/ but I'm a but sceptical... Kirill Pokrovsky is long dead, most of the focus these days is on 3D and "cool" graphics. And like I said very likely no Linux

@ZippyBot knowing good ol' Swen, there will be a Windows version, a Mac version, a version for each console and no Linux :D
- Comment on Epic and Steam banned it but HORSES is out now on other stores 3 months ago:
@HarkMahlberg @ZippyBot I see, well that's hardly a pedo scene imo but some people like to take things out of context and spin crazy narratives so what do I know. What with that game where you had to "nail a coffin with a live girl inside in order to win"... I know exactly what kind of people sided with that version of the story, and it's not the kind who'd know which side of a PS2 controller goes up

@ZippyBot for those of us who don't know, what is Horses and why is it banned?

@Yokaihauntedsprings Tekkaman! Way too cool, way too little about him. Not talking about Tekkaman Blade, I mean the original

@BrikoX they must have found out that suing minors is harder, so they're not the ideal user base. Better have adult customers that can be threatened and sued into oblivion! Fanbois will put up with all of it no questions asked
