This was such a nice read! I can totally feel that you are inspired by old video game magazines. Feels so fresh and your personality really does shines through 😊

Also gifs convey so much at a glimpse, no gaming site should use just Screenshots I’m convinced now 😅. No really, I got interested in a few games on the list just because I “felt” them way more than seeing Screenshots on some news site.

I love those posts, thank you so much.

With Captain blood and tridents tale we even have 2 pirate themed games today. I am surprised by Captain blood, I know quite some niche stuff in video games, but never heard of it.

The one click mods coming to gog are really cool, allows you to step in a curated alternative form of a beloved game without the hassle. I’m curious what we will get there. I could imagine a version for gothic 1, which is such an interesting game, but very clunky - but there are fan patches to address that.

Btw. I see an “Arari” where it should probably be “Atari”. Not to nitpick, but rather to express my appreciation for the post.

I’m also looking forward to the next remedy release, those guys are very special to me.

Again, thanks for the writeup, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Also the wider look including the PS2 and gog office rooms. ☀️

Get well PerfectDark ❤️

Yeah it’s really no replacement but it feels special to some extend. ☀️

I would mostly agree. The magic of video games and the virtual worlds was bridged to the real world by sharing them with friends. I can totally see that!

I guess “modern” gaming works best when playing online with friends (not every game allows that of course), and wind down type of games. Self care gaming 😄.

I had some great moments though screensharing my game on discord while being able to watch what my friend was playing on their screenshare. There is something - even though that it is not exactly what you were hinting at, as obviously you can’t directly influence the game that the other is playing - but it is a shared experience in some way that makes it feel connected and special.

That post gave me food for thought.

That’s going to gather some attention from the big publishers.

Would be interested what you fedis think about that?

edit: interested in opinions regarding the news as the game is surrounded by quite a bit of controversy, not “just” the publishers part I mentioned.

True. For me it was counter strike source 😄

And here I am trying to figure out what Child Youth Gap is lol I played through burnout 3 a year ago, it is soooo good still ❤️

Is there a possibility to play a campaign in online coop?

Good point!

The editor confusing smaa with supersampling irks me more than it maybe should 😅 Guess more confirmation to always rather look at the sources.

Nah, sounds like the rendering is simply broken at the time. When you turn off fsr it still seems to render lower than native.

Hm, I did not see the video, but I think if I’d pay for a product and get a weaker quality than 1. I paid for and 2. possible on my machine - I would be hesitant to accept a reasoning that has nothing to do with my usage of the service. Is the potential piracy (that happens anyway) outweighing the bad customer experience? What I mean to say is, if I pay for my product, and have capable hardware - I think from the customer perspective I am in a position to complain if I don’t get the quality I paid for.

It indicates bad decision making by the company at the time? Just as the other points mentioned. 🤔

Hey just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate your perspective. I know that unions result, in general, in better working conditions. However me as a customer not only supporting such companies, if I choose so, but also benefitting from better products in general is a nice perspective. food for thought!

The atmosphere of the first pic is beautiful 😊

It’s common since quite a few years. And blocklist as counterpart
