  @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 what do you mean? And how is that related to gaming?

  @ZippyBot looks cool! More info here https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/frictional-reveal-soma-follow-up-ontos-a-lunar-nightmare-with-talking-rat-walls-and-stellan-skarsgard I hope it matches the atmosphere of Amnesia, which I'm still to scered to pick up again and continue playing

  @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

  @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?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What anime character, you wish had more merch?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  @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

  @Endmaker @mo_lave I'd think because it says "10 animes that xyz" and then where's the list? lol pointless post! How do I downvote it btw?
