It’s the bit about RIPPING AND TEARING them to bits and rebuilding the Earth at the end.

This, so much this. As a car enjoyer, seeing cars slowly mutate into giant bloated expensive iPads on wheels is painful. I don’t want to buy any car made past 2010 and I know that won’t be a viable option soon.

Demonoid, absolutely! Warez-bb, and many oldschool GeoCities blogs. I remember one that had portable cracks of any programs you could imagine.

There’s way too much stuff in there, but as of right now I think it’s Mechanicus, and the Serious Sam HD remasters, thanks to a recommendation in another thread just now. I also have a couple interesting demos I downloaded. The problem is, I haven’t played anything from my Steam at all in the past month or so. Everything I’ve been gaming has been outside of it.

Also hilariously, these Serious Sam games were the literal first games I bought when I created my Steam account and I never played through them. They were an impulse buy from a friend’s recommendation back in the day but I wasn’t as into boomer shooters as I am now.

Holy crap, they had to use a custom build of DSDA-Doom to mitigate lag from so many monsters. DSDA is already super efficient and can handle most absurd maps (like Nuts.wad) with no problems. This map was truly something else.

It’s not just about the tech, it’s about their mindset. They’re stuck in that era mentally.

There’s even launchers that do the work of the batch files for you! I like using Doom Explorer or Doom Runner for that. You set it up with your ports, point it at your wads folder and then you can save preset combinations of mods, it’s so practical.

I immediately sought out working backups of both Yuzu and Ryujinx. The “bright side” of this situation is that it pissed me off enough to go acquire both the new Zelda game that potentially caused this whole situation by being leaked early, and the game that was at the absolute top of my to-play list: Unicorn Overlord. So far it is looking like a fantastic game.

I’m thinking less bribe and “laughing away to the bank” and more of a “Nintendo threatened to ruin their life with legal fees if it wasn’t taken down”. The frivolity of said case is irrelevant when they just bully normal people legally like that.

In the modern age, we all need to be our own archivists, saving whatever we can from a perpetually burning Library of Alexandria. This is why pirates are a community, each one saves a little bit of history that matters to them, and then we share.

access to everything that isn’t bogged down by stupid licensing deals, too. so many things just disappear because someone wants someone else to keep paying for that one song they added in a single episode 15 years ago.

Japan was already living in the 2000’s back in the 80’s. The problem is that 40 years later, they’re still living and thinking in the exact same way.

I don’t know either, and I haven’t been able to use spotify_player in a while, either in my Linux or Windows machines because of that. Already ended up accidentally resetting my Spotify password 2-3 times trying to solve that.

The new Kex port is great for it’s accessibility for new players not used to the Doom sourceports scene, but I guess there’s still a few kinks to solve. I still end up preferring to play on my other sourceports (Woof! Is my favorite) but I gotta get back to it to actually finish Legacy of Rust later. At least this new port is MUCH better on the console versions now, if only the Switch version had proper access to the player uploaded addons…

In the meantime Ive been going through Freedoom 2, and I hear people are adapting the assets of the new mapping format into an open sourced version. Looking forward to that.

Yes this is pretty great, these games are arguably more fun than regular Raiden but are a bit annoying to emulate.

Why is anyone susprised about this? This is the most predictable outcome.

Then again, you’d probably already have a jailbroken PS1 to play copied games, you could burn them yourself. Or emulate, it’s so easy to emulate PS1 nowadays. No need to spend money importing those copies from China.

FromSoftware, 100%. From the days of Armored Core to all the Souls games.

Well, over the past week I finished my second full Hard run of EDF6 with a modded class, and I updated several mods on other games. Got the updated Shutoko Revival Project on Assetto Corsa, the new Gran Turismo 4 Spec II, which I’m enjoying a lot, feels like a new game. And the Dawn of War Unification team pushed out a minor patch for the 20th anniversary of the series. I am also considering upgrading my old build of STALKER Gamma from late last year to the current one. My setup is working but they added a lot of new things since then that I want to check out, like new early game guns.

They’re very different racers. One is arcade racing, drifting fun perfected, the other is an incredibly fun racing career and car collecting simulator (still not an actual simulator, but physics at least resemble the real world)

I say play both GT2 and RR Type 4 and see which one you like better. Alongside Wip3out I’d say these are the absolute BEST racing games of the console.

Yeah except Palworld has joined Sony for their multimedia franchise, so potentially they can get a lot of monetary and legal support from that. Nintendo took way too long to actually do this frivolous lawsuit.

Let them fight.
