Bloodborne
Having played this through including the DLC years ago on my PS4 I recently find that this can be emulated quite well on the PC now. When I say quite well I mean 3440 x 1440 at 60FPS, it’s incredible!
I’m going for an Arcane build this time which is quite a different pkaystyle from the more frantic parry and dodge that you would normally have, but it’s lots of fun.
Just killed the Bloodstarved Beast and got the first Chalice, so I’m entering the dungeons next.
- Comment on [Game] So I finally played the Shadowrun Returns Trilogy (a decade late, I know) 4 days ago:
Yeah they’re fairly decent games, and as you notes there is quite a bit of workshop content.
As well as the original SNES game being reproduced someone has also remade Shadowrun Returns in either the Dragonfall or Hong Kong workshops, so playing Returns that way will help with a lot of that Janko you mentioned.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 2 weeks ago:
I think you misunderstand my point.
I’m not saying I want to have bad impractical controls.
I’m saying I enjoy it when devs take risks and put in more specific control schemes. A lot of Nintendo games try this for example and it works really well.
I’m a big tinkerer on Steam Input and will often change control schemes to help make it more comfortable and immersive.

Although I do miss interesting control schemes, everything is almost homogenous now and quite boring.
Too Human was an interesting case point. Though not a terribly successful game, they did try and make a control scheme to benefit their gamers.
The game is an ARPG which wasn’t common on consoles at the time, and more often played on PC with mouse and keyboard. The developers knew that players would spend hours on the game and needed a low impact way of playing that type of game with a controller.
They created a control scheme that relied almost entirely on just the two joysticks, moving and attacking and some special moves could all be handled with small movements, this made long gaming sessions comfortable, and far better than button mashing and getting RSI in your thumb joints 😅

I think Flycast is the most popular one now

GoG also sold the modern hitman games which have DRM.
There are also many games on Steam that are DRM free, you may need to use the Steam Client to download them (but possibly also Steam CMD) but then you can copy the files off as a backup and run them without Steam

I don’t know how you would know that after 15 minutes, buy ok…

Yep, I don’t disagree,. A couple of hours every night soon stacks up.
The problem is, I don’t play anything else and I was halfway through Kingdom Come Deliverance!

I’m in a Monster Hunter Rise shaped hole, this game is a marathon!
I’m motivated to ‘finish’ it because I want to try out Monster Hunter World, but I’m not sure that healthy.
About 120 hours in so far, I’ve just got the end credits for the DLC at Master Rank 5 for killing the Arch Demon, according to people in the community I’ve just finished the tutorial 🥲

Yes still considered a demo, new version is coming ‘soon’

Doom Infinite on the Steam Deck, it’s a Rogue Like mod for GZDoom, what a ride!
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 8 months ago:
Don’t mean to get into the argument here, but the way that people like him have spending money is to take loans out against their investments, so they go into debt and don’t pay taxes on that. The banks don’t care because if they need to cover the debt they can just sell some of the shares.
- Comment on Darktide is a banger 9 months ago:
Hey FYI Vermintide 2 has finally been updated now to support EasyAntiCheat on Linux without needing to be host, so try it again and see.
I also have enjoyed Darktide as it worked with Linux from release, such a great soundtrack too.

Neverwinter Nights: there’s a new DLC released based on Icewwind Dale which caught my eye so I’m phasing through the beginning campaign first.
I love CRPGs and Dungeons and Dragons but never played this before.
It’s OK, plays fine in my PC, Beamdog did the Enhanced Edition treatment on it.
The story is interesting enough but I’m finding that the game is filled with fighting for the sake of it.
I’m not sure I have the patience but I would be interested to try some of the community expansions, someone even remade Eye of the Beholder I & II

Is this like Ready or Not? I went for Ground Branch instead and was disappointed that it seems like abandon ware.

- Comment on Getting a Steam Deck to emulate retro games? 1 year ago:
RetroDeck is the best way in my opinion.
It differes from other solutions as it creates a containered application to run all your emulators.
This means everything is kept tidy isolated from the rest of your system under RetroDeck, if you have any errors it’s simple to wipe and start again without losing your ROMs, its simple to try new systems in the future.

I love my PSP Go, such an awesome emulation machine
- Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week? 1 year ago:
Cyberpunk,
Finally picked it up on this sale with Phantom Liberty.
Played about an hour so far, seems OK, have to get my Steam Controller setup properly for it still.

- Comment on Rebellion's just surprise rebooted Speedball and released it on Steam 1 year ago:
The thing about Speedball II was that it was made by The Bitmap Brothers. You can remake their games all you want, but it’s always going to miss the X factor without the Bros.
