First game i played on my new PC (2019 i think) was Binding of Isaac Rebirth. I think Minecraft was the second one. It wasn’t till a few days in I played a modern game, losing interest and going back to some other old game.
I like what i know and know what i like.I built my first high-end gaming PC during the pandemic. First game I played was HL2
New PC? What kind of person can afford one of those? Elon Musk?
Me replaying Bejeweled 3 in 2026 :)
A Steam Deck is made for you with such behavior.
It guves me the occasion to play all the titles I ignored over the years.
Still I need something powerful to play sim racing titles as it’s the only category where I can’t just play old games.
This month I built a Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 32gb DDR5, XFX 9070 FX PC and the first new thing I got into was Mina the Hollower, a graphical throwback to the 8-bit era.
I’m playing slay the spire 2 and even my Ryzen 9 3900 is woefully overpowered for it.
Good, says I. The whole point of what I built is to own all of the compute I need to ride out an AI bubble, a protracted chip shortage, and a broad retreat of self-owned hardware. I plan to nurse this rig along until the world has changed twice over, and if good games stay easy to run that won’t hurt my feelings none.
StS2 is great, but it seems like there’s no true ending yet? Is that because it’s still in early access?
I love that the alt text is actually of a game I still play even now.
I remember trying to log in to the original Command and Conquer servers a year or two back and feeling like I was knocking on the boarded-up gates of a ghost town.
You just need to use CNCNet. There’s usually ballpark 1-2K players online across all the games.
kind of ironic this is trying to make us feel old, but came out over 13 years ago. Still relevant of course
I can wait for new games to go on sale, there’s so plenty of great older games and a consistent flow of good indie games to play. AAA titles can wait till they are cheap enough to be worth the cost. Especially now with AAA being the cost of 4-5 Silksongs but not being 4-5 Silksongs of value.
This is de wey
You know, maybe it is time to reinstall Dungeon Hack
Last two times I upgraded GPU; booted up FTL.
I think it’s because by the time it’s installed, clean while I’m there, get it all back together, do all the software side of things… I’m not in a Cyberpunk kind of mood.
