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.
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

Fuck yes I’m so happy people did this. This is art preservation
Right now is the best time to play old games. Retro gaming handhelds have never been better, and honestly there’s little to improve in them at this point.
Get yourself a retro handheld for as little as $100, that will feel more premium than a Steam Deck, and start playing games that came out before you were born.
I’ve genuinely forgotten how bad the current video game industry is, because I’m so busy having a blast with older/retro titles.
Highly recommend to all gamers.

how old do you think i am
About to say, I’m older than Pac-Man :D
my cool SIL is way too into Ms. Pacman because that was her game at the arcade.
i can’t solder for shit, but i could code a mame console to run that for her 50th
I mean Warcraft II is still the shit. As is classic doom, carmageddon, Aoe,… you name it.
I have this urge to revisit Dune 2000 but my life is a bit hectic. Boys+Sports…
I still play Warcraft III - Frozzen Throne. So many custom maps. I’ve got enough gaming content for another 10 years.
Playing GTA V as GTA VI is getting leaked
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
This is the way.
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.
Everyone about that GTAVI life while I’m in the Fire Emblem and Yakuza mines trying to make a dent in the 50 million games each of those series have, because every time I finish one they release three more
Japan…please…stop…I beg you. I feel as overworked as the devs working for you.
On top of FE and Yakuza, I’ve still got like 10 Shin Megami Tensei games to go through, after playing (what feels like) 20+. It never ends.
I am a man dying of thirst watching another drown. Smashes skull in Fallout borne frustration
Not quite, rimworld and factorio are only around 13 years old.
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.
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 love that he says “splendid” in response to his own point
That’s honestly my favorite part of this template
I like how they both say it at the same time
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.
