I collected some disc copies of games, I put on my fancy gloves, carefully opened the overwrap, brought out the disc and cloned it to my pc, then put everything back together in a laminar flow table. fast forward a couple years and I hear about disc rot. I checked a few and they were fucked. checked the rest they were fucked. put them back as before and sold them as unopened to a collector because I’m just an asshole that way. actually I was desperately broke. actually I still am FML, dunno karma?

Anyway retro gaming, or anything else in life really, will find a way to fuck you over.

good luck to him even though it seems futile. nintendo really needs to get fucked then pound sand after, but this doesn’t seem like the one. Hopefully it doesn’t just end up benefitting Nintendo more.

as in these are recurring characters?

I’m drunk in the back of the car and I’m crying like: a baby coming home from the bar.

thats literally the second easiest stealth section in the past 2 decades of gaming.

There are some out there that are actually so infuriatingly bad due to shitty programming and npc noticing you is rng and skill isn’t an option.

yeah the same game twice. generally a remaster or goty/special edition/etc.

It went something like: friend: hey grass I got you a game! me: oh cool thanks. *redeems game without thinking… me: wait I already have this friend: its the special edition. me: but I’ll have to get the achievements a second time. friend: you won’t do that, your only all achievement game is mw2.

then other friends got me more duplicates because they knew I would be an idiot and do it repeatedly to ‘prove a point’. In the end a miserable time. The easiest were the souls games because once you learn the controls they are all the same, apart from the different enemy placements in ds2. hardest was probably between the older version of kingdom or old bioshock 2 due to buggy achievements and the ungodly amount of time doing the exact same thing until it worked

now we just need someone to edit a carpet cleaner into the first one

Kinda same. I do have it on switch and 360 but those are my pirated copies and you couldn’t even apply the unofficial patch so I never ended up playing them much. I bought the pc version then was later gifted SE, and ended up starting this regretful and hellish dupe game achievement quest as a joke with the friends that got me the game since it turned out I had several duplicates. -17/10 Would not recommend.

it was more about showcasing my mental illness and how I can’t help punishing myself by playing games like old kingdom or old bioshock, or both borderlands. I also tried to do ori but now I have work burnout and gaming burnout. I wouldn’t actually feel inclined to double zero dawn as the game really is enough of a slog just to complete the main story and I really really don’t want to suffer any more.

all they had to do was not force accounts. then they could join this club:

its kinda funny because it looks dated even with the graphics overhaul in mcc but the gameplay is still solid, and there are older games that still look as good as release day but the mechanics are kinda rough. And some that always were and always will be perfect.

I feel like at this point retro is more of a style though. Graphics can only get so realistic and anything made to peak modern visual standards will be harder to differentiate from previous decades as time goes on, if we don’t all die from pollution and war and other shit. Oh fuck, maybe retro will become anything that features a non-destroyed climate/environment in a world where children will be born having never seen what earth once was.

not many people are likely to have one but tiny cameras in various forms are quite cheap.

more likely his pants judging by all the smell statements

ryujinx literally minutes before it was shut down. on steam deck at least it seems impossible for the audio to stay in sync and occasionally you have to pause emulation and resume after the sound stops to bring it back in sync. Maybe a spot of lag or frame drop when some things happen for the first time, but mostly stable 30fps. I’ll probably switch to desktop once I have space to set it up if the audio desync doesn’t happen there.

ttyd switch, echoes of wisdom.

if it turns out to be another big dreamer AI thing…

I guess shattered horizon was already taken and dead…

it will come with time as long as it’s not more self degrading Intel hardware that will lose performance by merely existing.

I mean we just got the info on the cups one where you execute arbitrary code by trying to print

This is a high quality meme
