Yea! They are pretty great, haven’t played many of them yet, but working on it!

Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis, and Sam & Max: Hit The Road. I have probably played through both uncountable times, love 'em. I do like most Lucas ones, few Sierra ones.

Yep, same. I still regularly come back to my point & click adventure games from the 90’s. Such comfort.

gaming industry is researching new ways to disable old games so aging gamers would buy new games

oh, thanks random internet stranger, have a point!

I did do a cursory search for firewatch wallpapers too, but the darkmode term seems to be the key here. Anyhoo, thanks!

edit: though, the site has it in fairly low res, all the download options are super compressed and just (badly) upscaled. But gonna look around if I can find a better version

digging the vibe.

can you share the wallpaper, please? :)

I’d throw memtest on a throwaway usb stick and let it run tests overnight or so, unless errors appear immediately.

Easier than doing a reinstall. :)

Does the restarts happen on idle, gaming/heavy load, or just randomly?

Idle/Random tends to point to ram sticks being faulty, run memtest for few hours or so?

Heavy load crashing could mean flaky power supply.

huh. the 2nd game looks like a game mode for the chikkyhorse but just… for some reason separated as a standalone game.

push to public git repo or archive.org, if you have the rights to the games/assets/etc.

Even if the games are ages old mobile nonsense, they’re always someone’s nostalgia bombs

of course that’s a thing

we must go deeper, surely you can launch minecraft in minecraft? :P

“I use minecraft, btw” was in the comments of the demo video. Had a giggle.

For novelty I do install msedit, because nostalgia is rose tinted. But for realsies it’s vim, not because I’m good at using it, but I’m familiar enough.

Just a hunch, but it’s not performance why peeps are migrating away from windows

It’s been a minute since I last tried it, but: Forge: The Magic: The Gathering Rules Engine https://card-forge.github.io/forge/ & https://github.com/Card-Forge/forge

It’s essentially MTG: Shandalar - but free & opensource. So basically you start with some starter deck, roam the lands to defeat color-coded wizards and dungeons for ante-cards and money (which you use to just buy cards from vendors), build deck, and ultimately defeat the elemental gods etc. Shandalar. :)

The game has actual MTG cards (can be downloaded via the game’s menus).

I kinda wish the game would detect modding, or the easymode at minimum, and hold the achievements. I don’t particularly care one way or the other, but some soulslike-folks probably will get their panties in a twist for dilluting the global achievement-stats… maybe? But oh well.

The exploration aspect is pretty cool, there’s hidden tomb-dungeons etc everywhere. Other games where I’ve felt exploration was fun were Skyrim, Cyberpunk and (similarly to you) Subnautica.

I dunno, 80’s glamrock church could be dope, but it wouldn’t be dark souls anymore

Been chipping away with Elden Ring, but I do use seamless coop for the off chance my friends want to join, and some easymode mod because I am so unbelievably bad at these games.

Having fun, but it’s funny when every time I think I could do with less easymode, some enemy absolutely curbstomps me. Maybe one day I can manage without:P

I do like how there’s very little waypoint-guidance, but some todo-list for things I have agreed to would be nice. But that’s the style, I guess.

you think you’re getting off the call if it isn’t?
