Honestly, I feel like games have been getting too big. The ends of RPGs always feel like a slog these days.

Maybe it’s because every game thinks it needs a 3 act denouement. Maybe it’s because there’s 100x the games coming out now compared to when I was young and the feeling of wanting to get to the next one is rushing me. Or maybe I’m just plain getting old.

In any case, I’m ok with shorter games.

Mac user here. I never use the App Store.

From what I understand this is a problem with FAT32 formatted drives specifically since it doesn’t use the Linux file system. Reformatting is not an option at the moment.

What this does is give my user ownership when you plug in a usb device, which allows rw.

I have it set up to mount on startup, but it mounts to root ownership. Now, I remount it and the owner becomes my user.

I honestly can’t remember what I did to make it happen, but it always mounts to /mnt/drivename

I’m using this for a Jellyfin server. Before I added this rule, I couldn’t add folders past the drive itself as a library, so I see this as progress. I just want to edit meta data now.

Edit: I do have it in my fstab file listed by device ID with these settings:

LABEL=drivename /mnt/drivename/ auto rw,user,exec,nofail,x-gvfs-show,dev,auto 0 0

I don’t know what HLL is.

I don’t play a lot of multiplayer games tbh, and the ones I do tend to be cooperative.

I agree. It keeps them out of games I enjoy.

Carry on, COD

Asylum was so good. It was a tight focused story that used its small map effectively. The later games were also good, but each entry suffered from trying to be bigger than the last.

Before I rush to buy this before it disappears, two questions:

Do they sell a Mac version that will work on current OSes?

I still have my discs in a box. Would my CD keys be valid?

I’m off to find these answers on my own. Will report back.

Edit: looks like no and no.

Guess I might try to see if I can get those old discs to run on my Linux setup.

Remember when they told us Pogs would make us gambling addicts?

Kingmaker came before this.

I really enjoyed Kingmaker and have just started Wrath of The Righteous. I’m already finding that there’s a bunch of QoL improvements.

I would suggest if you want to play both, play Kingmaker first. The stories are separate, game play is the same, but you’ll notice the little annoyances way more if you play WotR first.

Biggest one is not being able to rotate the camera in Kingmaker.

As a patient gamer, I only buy older games on sale under ten bucks. I don’t replay games too often, so if I lose access it’s a big whatever.

Many RPGs allow you to shoot a bow, or throw a dart, hand axe, rock, and other stuff to initiate combat.

Red Dead Redemption lets you ride horses. So did Ultima, as someone pointed out.

Good games are good games regardless of when they’re made

Yes. Let me pause cut scenes. I like to pee then come back and watch them

Same. I played the first one and it was ok.

I dunno I find these games are always the same and there’s no point in playing every release.

Years ago I told myself I’d play every 3rd COD game because of this, but haven’t played one since the 360.

You can also buy second hand games and even borrow some free at the library

Yeah I just wanna see pictures of my friends’ pets, kids and art. Not posts trying to bait me in to arguing about whether or not She-Hulk should be twerking (She should btw) or if rice is woke. 🙄

They arbitrarily decided which of my friends’ updates to show me, then started showing me more ads and “promoted content” (read: culture war incitement) than what’s going on with my friends. Lame.

Joust?

Gotta write an article for every interview question these days to maximize clicks.

Were they first? I can remember the battle.net launcher way before I ever heard of Steam.
