I play open source games
🙇🏻
I’m having a blast with all of the old God of War games currently. 🥰
i tried so hard to get them to work on my ps2. those damn gold discs.
i can emulate a ps2 now. thanks for the idea.
All of them have PS3 ports (God of War Collection Vol. 1+2), even the PSP games.
God of War III even got a PS4 remaster. :)
i was a fool and went xbox that generation because of the online bullshit. i had to “make a point with my wallet” it’s not like i enjoy online games anyways.
i should boot mine up and play costume quest tho, that was fun
Kingdom Hearts II is 22 years old. Just picked it back up today.
Still fucking rips.
Lol, Oblivion ftw
Oblivion just came out dude
Oblivion “remastered” just came out. OG Oblivion was released 20 years ago.
I’ve heard others say the same
Morrowind was peak Elder Scrolls, imo.
Oblivions not 20 years old lol
… Oh. Oh no.
I’m still playing Rimworld
Regardless, I never spend more than $20 on a game, wait for the “Game of the Year Platinum Super Edition” to go on sale. It works every time!
Same. Got the base Cyberpunk 2077 game for $18. And then got the dlc for $18. Best $36 I’ve spent on a game in a long time.
Isn’t each rimworld DLC more than 20USD? Though I play it enough to easily be worth it.
I normally do that, but I got Baldur’s Gate I think within it’s first year, and the thing that sold me is they put it DRM free on GOG super early. Normally you have to wait 15 years to get a AAA game on GOG, so I wanted to support that decision to put it there early.
Skyrim, Fallout NV, Diablo II, modded to fuck Dungeon Keeper, Age Of Empires II, so many more. I’m set for life
How do you mod dungeon keeper
KeeperFX is a modern port of the game that makes it run on modern pcs. It needs the jase game of course but it comes with mod support so after you install keeperfx, mods are basically plug&play
Awesome thank you so much. I used to play dungeon keeper a ton as a kid
Modded to What?
I know nothing of the Diablo 2 modding scene but there better be a sex mod.
There’s sex mods for Rimworld so I wouldn’t be surprised.
That’s incredibly expected from Rimworld. Hell the base mechanics encourage colonists pairing up.
Yeah, nothing the Rimworld mod scene could do would surprise me.
Technically vanilla RimWorld already has “Lovin’”, which colonists sharing a bed can do, and the DLC has colonist pregnancy, IUDs, babies, and I think even artificial insemination (though it’s been a long time since I played without mods, so I could be mixing something up)
But really, given sufficient time, any sufficiently moddable game will have a horny mod made.
Playing Evil Genius as I read this.
Any old mmo enjoyers with a game with an active community to link a fella? Was a fiend for RF online back in the day it was sci-fantasy before I knew what sci fantasy was haha!
The original Guild Wars trilogy is going strong still. One of the better communities for old mmos still active in my opinion.
If a new take on an old MMO is interesting, maybe look up Everquest Legends. It’s basically an oldschool MMO combined with a massive power fantasy. It has problems (many, many problems), but it’s still a pretty good time.
Star Reach is a new one that came out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1925650/Stars_Reach/
Monsters & Memories: https://monstersandmemories.com/
Thanks for these! Mnm sounds sounds like it has promise I’ll have to check out star reach see if it scratches that sci fi itch haha!
Its been a hot minute since I played, but city of heros is a fun one.
Clan Lord
I played it during the beta way back in ‘97(?) but couldn’t continue when it went to a monthly subscription due to being a teen. I found out it was still going 3 years ago and became re-addicted.
Now a character is $15USD and no money is asked for after that. No micro-transactions or nuthin’.
The graphics maintain the ‘97 2D top-down style with chat bubbles, but the game still gets monthly updates.

The community is super friendly and helpful and some players have been playing since the start. It’s deceptively deep and there’s wikis to help you figure out what’s going on, but I don’t want to overload you with links right now.
There’s a discord too, but I’d rather you ask for it in-game to avoid and non-clanners causing trouble
Thanks for the response! I’ll look into it :)
UT2004 still bops. If I suddenly stopped being able to buy new games, that one would keep me entertained for at least another decade.
That’s me except with UT 1999! As long as the community servers are still there, I’m good.
Rocket league and factorio scratch my itches
Retro game prices have been skyrocketing too. Everything’s kinda fucked.
Just soft mod your console or get a flash cart and sail the high seas.
Even if it’s just 10-15, Zomboid, Oxygen Not Included, Factorio, Isaac, and Risk of Rain, are thousands of possible fun hours, even without rotation
Most of my games are from the 2010s, don’t really need to get a better GPU. Factorio megafactories will probably always enjoy faster CPUs though.
All hail the ability to emulate console games up to a certain generation well enough on even lower end hardware.
Ain’t no other way to officially enjoy classics like Tony Hawk Pro Skater ( best on Dreamcast IMO ). Probably one of the greatest skater games, just behind a game like Skate 2. But maybe that’s the nostalgia talking…

A little wordy as a catch phrase, but I like the sentiment.
What about playing them on the original consoles? I’ve got a Game Cube and PS3 I still use occasionally, and a PS2 that I haven’t tried in a long time but would give it 50/50 for just booting up if I hooked it up, plus some portion of the failure 50% includes the possibility of repairing it.
Original console, in most cases, is probably gonna be the better option IMO. But due to the rising cost of everything, games/consoles included, emulation is better from a purely price saving standpoint. I am lucky enough to have so many consoles, but I still emulate or use console softmods because I can’t afford every game I want.
No disagreement there, I only responded because of the “ain’t no other way” in your OP.
I also love how emulators make 40 year old games much more playable with features like state save.
Hey! That’s cheating! (I do it too)
I knowwww but I need to get good at it without spending thousands of hours per game. I have kids and only maybe 30 years left to live lol
Fast forwarding through slow unskippable cutscenes and slow walking parts.
my opinion is that as time marches on, fewer and fewer of these original consoles will be around, assuming that they don’t get manufactured anymore. so eventually, we’ll all be forced to use emulators anyways.
on top of that, i guess emulators are cheaper. you already have the computing device, you only need a new controller to attach to it.
I remember spending hours watching my friends play that game.
I remembered my family having the ps1 version, but my brother said I was wrong because we apparently had the n64 version.
Either way, was definitely a defining game of my early childhood.
Dwarf fortress is around 20 years old so that checks
Morrowind, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Saints Row 2, GTA San Andreas, Ultima, beside few indies, Pragmata and Fallout, this and retro console games are my main playthroughs
Fallout New Vegas
You had me worried. Surely Fallout New Vegas isn’t a 20 year old game? But no, it only came out 16 years ago. Crisis averted.
Good news! Bethesda is surely about to release a patch that fixes nothing you need and breaks all your mods, just like Skyrim the other day again!
I got annoyed with Skyrim on ps3 because of annoying save/load times and broken quests that I couldn’t patch or fix.
If I try Fallout NV on ps3 will I have a better time?
Well, thank God than my copy is from GoG and only update if i choose it
