reuse maps and assets as much as possible

Once upon a time this was a method to expand on the story or add more to the game world, content people were craving. They came in packs, not those small pesky downloadable ones, but packages comparable in size to the original game. It’s been so long, I can hardly remember what they were called…

Expansions?

… I know those places. I’ve been there. A long time ago.

They have haptic grip sensors and ALL the sticks and pads, I wonder what they traded off lol

That’s a great deal, I’ll take the full set and throw in some extra controllers thanks

That controller makes me swoon.

I want backpack sized battery banks.

1998. I need help with Final Fantasy 7.

Buddy recommends this site I’ve not heard about, Game Facks.

It did not contain game FAQ’s.

Also, whitehouse.com, as was the style of the time.

Or was blanket removed in the first place. That’s one of the factors keeping me on custom ROMs, I’ve had silent call recording for the last 15 years.

Thanks for the drive-by downvote [email protected], imagine what you might achieve if you voiced your grievances instead!

They diminished Jackie to shoehorn Johnny into the story, it wasn’t very well done and I miss a lot of the low life lore. I want a Jackie game, a prequel leading up to the start of 2077’s life path intros.

It’s the default graphics pack. Use the build-in mod downloader to use something you like. Or just avoid it due to your graphical preferences, whatever floats your goat.

I know the feel. But don’t let the peabrains get you down, find something else to play which brings you joy and fun again.

Or do like me and mostly just give up on gaming as it’ll be a long time until it’s going to be fun again - Going from a lifestyle gamer to a filthy casual in just a few years.

Dad?!

Probably, I don’t know.

I prefer Unciv, open source, actively developed, active mod scene, free online multiplayer, linux+android support and cross platform saves with Syncthing autosync.

I’ll never let an opportunity to tell about Unciv pass me by.

Everybody I know who plays the civ series complain about the gameplay being ever simplified and dumbed down. And with the latest game being divided into epochs wat?

I wouldn’t know, I stopped playing after it peaked with civ4.

Now I play Unciv! 😁

I have a separate phone for this exact reason. Works great. I’m only using it with trusted apps straight from a factory wipe, no funny business, no webbrowsing, no nothing. Worked well so far.

When I’m not using it I turn it off.

I’m satisfied with the relocked bootloader on my Fairphone.

Unless you need fucky security chips made in the land of National Security Letters.

It’s not about the notification, it’s about being reminded.

I use a task manager because I can’t remember every task I need to do. I use reminders because I can’t remember to do the tasks I need to do.

Me too, in this way it’s more than just a todo list, it’s also a time management tool.

I use tasks.org, every morning all my tasks pop up and I defer them into timeslots. Before noon, afternoon, evening. Then I get another reminder at a point where I should be done with the tasks in a previous time slot.

Now you’re thinking with portals!

Good point, they have a reasonable purchase and backup policy.

Dang, looks like I actually have to do some reading.

Steam accepts major credit and debit card brands, including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

Digital wallets, such as PayPal and Skrill, offer a convenient and secure way to make payments on Steam.

Steam gift cards can be purchased from various retailers, both online and offline, and can be redeemed on the Steam platform.

In addition to these payment methods, Steam also supports other region-specific payment methods, such as iDeal in the Netherlands, Sofort in Germany, and WebMoney in Russia.

Looks like there is a way. Is there a will?

We only had the “Platinum” line, just a silvery platinum color instead of the very tasteful green you showcase.

No, only plastic ones.

They’re not the same size. European is bigger. Also the groves are just an inlay print, literally paper thin.

I wouldn’t know, I don’t buy games ever since I found out I didn’t buy games, merely licensed them. Which is kind of ironic as I would assume most of the censored games are available on the high seas.

Is there any other payment method that works? Use them instead. If no, then just boycott MasterCard and whoever else, it’s not like you’re going to be able to buy your games anyway.

Very good.

I love 2077 but CDPR keeps on ruining my modded excellence with worthless patches. I wish they’d just give up and leave it to the many amazing modders to add content and fixes. 🤷‍♂️

Sounds chill.

They ended RedEngine with Cyberpunk 2077, too much work. Everything going forward will be UE.

Good thing I’m an anti-zionist then I suppose.

All you young’uns and your fancy moderns music.

Nothing beats Gone Jackals songs in Full Throttle.

Perhaps, but I advocate against using both card and phone payment. Cash is the only truly private pay method, barring facial scanning cameras at the counter. Each to their own.

I think people that take that approach to life are partly ruining it for us all. You’re selling your privacy for convinience and in the process legitimising the removal of (what I consider) more ethical and reasonable solutions.

you’re inconveniencing the people in line behind you

They’re inconveniencing me with their thoughtless jump into cashless society. Fuggem.

Isn’t what you’re describing herd mentality, putting the need of the group or other individuals above one selfs - never mind if it’s consciously giving up on cash money in exchange for speed or not?

I’m not dealing with all this tracking and surveillance bullshit on a regular basis. No digital wallets, no mobile payment. Cash as much as possible. Where I live most stores allow cash withdrawal, I’ll literally rather withdraw cash in one go and then pay with that cash at the same check out to server the link between the me and purchase. I do keep a modest amount of cash at home.
