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...

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

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.

Doom at over 30 years here, what what

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!

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.

You can log in for free but no progress will be saved and you don’t get to choose your name or anything cool.

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

Star Reach is a new one that came out: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1925650/Stars_Reach/

Monsters & Memories: https://monstersandmemories.com/

Its been a hot minute since I played, but city of heros is a fun one.

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.

Skyrim, Fallout NV, Diablo II, modded to fuck Dungeon Keeper, Age Of Empires II, so many more. I’m set for life

Modded to What?

Sounds dope, though. Enjoy your peace, king

I know nothing of the Diablo 2 modding scene but there better be a sex mod.

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.

Lol, Oblivion ftw

Oblivions not 20 years old lol

... Oh. Oh no.

Morrowind was peak Elder Scrolls, imo.

Oblivion just came out dude

Oblivion "remastered" just came out. OG Oblivion was released 20 years ago.

I've heard others say the same

Rocket league and factorio scratch my itches

Playing Evil Genius as I read this.
