Flashpoint Archive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashpoint_Archive
:o
that sounds like an amazing project. i have literally been thinking just yesterday whether i could ever get back the nostalgic (and often crappily made xD) flash games of my youth.
xD and the video on the project website is so iconic xD literally uses music from redacted (guess the game yourself :)).
question: does anyone have a backup of the flashpoint archive itself? in case that one goes down (so, double backup)
Flashpoint is amazing!
Fuck yes I’m so happy people did this. This is art preservation
It’s so fun!
This is the way.
Wololo!
I mostly play minecraft and indies, i am relatively safe lmao, what can happen? Mojang stop to update the game? Great now everyone will make mods on the same version lol
lmao, what can happen?
Microsoft, a company i never did business with during my purchase of Minecraft, stole my copy because I didnt learn about the account migration in time.
As said, you can still play the game without account on Java edition as of now (you have to either use a 3rd party launcher or launch the game from the terminal though)
Anyway, i don’t know how the fuck Microsoft wasn’t sued for that ““incident””
you have to either use a 3rd party launcher or launch the game from the terminal though
i’m pretty sure that both are illegal btw
if you’re interested in this, somebody made an open source re-implementation of it with excellent modding abilities.
??? so i have some bad news about minecraft…
That there’s an open source alternative which is gaining momentum?
Edit: oh bad news the Microsoft
Luanti aka minetest
You can log in Minecraft (Java) without using Microsoft authentication servers (and even if we couldn’t, we could just mod it in the game tbf)
I was not able the last time I tried…
What launcher have you used?
My latest round is Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, Railroad Tycoon II, Plants vs. Zombies, and a bit of TF2.
We still bust out the GameCube to play MarioKart Double Dash.
Indie devs are fucking killing it, though. A lot of bangers have been coming out.
I’m currently obsessed with How Many Dudes? That game is so much fun.
I’m playing Goldeneye on N64
Have you heard of agent 64: spies never die? I’m curious if anyone around here has played it and what their impressions are.
I played the Steam NextFest demo back in (damn…) 2022, and it felt like playing GoldenEye back in 1997. I don’t know if they can keep that level of quality for an entire game, but the demo was really promising.
That sounds promising, it’s not really my genre but I’m sure tons of people are looking for a game in that vein.
The newest console I have is a ps3. I had been playing Final Fantasy 13 recently.
I’m thinking of getting a ps4 though maybe for cyberpunk or no man’s sky?
I love that he says “splendid” in response to his own point
I like how they both say it at the same time
That’s honestly my favorite part of this template
yet another shout out for Space Station 14, a fully open source almost-massively multiplayer game with tons of forks being actively developed with lots of cross pollination of ideas and mechanics between them.
outrageously fun gameplay, totally free, easily modified, decently easy to set up ones own server
also totally cross platform between linux, mac, and windows
Lol, Oblivion ftw
Oblivions not 20 years old lol
… Oh. Oh no.
Oblivion just came out dude
Oblivion “remastered” just came out. OG Oblivion was released 20 years ago.
Morrowind was peak Elder Scrolls, imo.
I’ve heard others say the same
I play open source games
🙇🏻
Dwarf Fortress is 20 years old and still only has half the planned features. Tarn will be working on it until he croaks. Bless that man.
The amount of simulations is still looking for its match. Hell, it reminds me of the possible best simulation: Dwarfes are having a party. Someone spills their beer. A cat walks through the beer puddle. The cat cleans its paws. The cat becomes drunk from the beer on its paws.
The graphic is rather old, even the steam version or with “Lazy Newb Pack”, but it is still !!FUN!!.
It’s kind of blown my mind to learn about the development of that game. UnReal World similar how it started development in like the 90’s and the guys still just keep working on it like a group hobby. Love that for them
Did you see the /NoClip documentary?
I have not. My exposure to it was through Frederick Knudson DownTheRabbithole.
I’ll go look that up though if there’s more to be heard
My ADHD would never. I’d love to have a forever project, but the unending crave for novelty would never allow me.
Not quite, rimworld and factorio are only around 13 years old.
Cyberpunk 2077 is 6 years old. May pirate and try out before realizing my pc can’t run it.
You could, or gog have a much better refund policy than steam. You could even refund it and keep the offline installer if you really wanted to, of course you won’t get updates and it isn’t really the idea of it. I think they do block you eventually if you keep abusing it for everything.
I got a XP PC for playing Sims 2 and 3, especially 3 is such a mess that it don’t really work on anything else, even if it kinda runs… Also some Lego games and such I used to play as a kid. Well, anything XP era runs, obviously. Just stick/disc it in.
Now I have been cleaning my PS3 (stolen from an ex, added in a bigger SSD) and buying some used games on it from trift stores, for about 2-3€ a piece… Looking forward for playing that new (for me) GTA! (IV) We also have like… two PS1s and at least two PS2s. I also still have my PS4, but gonna sell that once I get around. I need money for my offline Linux PC project… Chose a case that requires a single-slot GPU, send prayers and so on.
especially 3 is such a mess that it don’t really work on anything else
It does work wonders on Proton.
Interesting! I’m beginner with Linux and haven’t really touched or looked into Protons and Vines and those things, but very interesting! On Win10 or Win11 it’s not great at all, but Win7 was still alright… Even when that PC obviously had less of everything.
