Every time I see an interview with the new CEO of Jagex, I'm more and more impressed by his resolve and where he's leading the company (and thus, the games).
Never before in history has a dying legacy MMO been able to turn itself around like they're doing right now.
I absolutely cannot wait for RuneFest in October, where they'll "lay out the feast" for the players as he put it.

I love seeing that Thief Gold was added to GOG's Preservation Program. While I'm very hyped for the upcoming Nightdive remaster, it's nice to know that we'll still be able to play and enjoy the non-remastered version for years to come.
This was my entry into stealth games and to this day, it's one of my all-time favorite 90s PC games!
Also, it's on sale for $1.75, I recommend grabbing it before the remaster.

With the recent news that #Microsoft marks each machine running #Windows with a "global device id" ( #GDID ) that it stores and uses for profiling even before any request is made from law enforcement, I'm again exploring moving my personal PCs to linux. Last night I installed #CachyOS on my #Lenovo #laptop which went smoothly. I'll test out #games tonight. I also deleted the last bit of data I stored in #OneDrive. I've been running #Nextcloud for years now and am confident in my own data integrity/access/backups, etc.
I'll add that I don't think the particular hacker caught by the FBI with the help of Microsoft is justified in his actions. It seems he is justly accused of crimes. But the mechanism of an OS so secretly logging your locations and actions has just become too much.

#LukeMiani hitting the nail on the head calling out the multi layered #corruption behind the current #rampocalypse. Consumers are the ones getting screwed.

🔌 The "Layer 1" Disaster is here.
Why are we connecting $2000 GPUs and 4K 240Hz OLEDs with cables that physically cannot handle the bandwidth?
In our latest deep dive on Rational Tech, we dismantle the DisplayPort 2.1 "80Gbps" commercial scam. We look at why passive copper is hitting a hard physical limit beyond 2 meters due to skin-effect and dielectric losses. Stop troubleshooting your drivers, your infrastructure is the bottleneck.

For the last two decades, I've been on the hunt for a custom RCT2 park that I played on an old PC, but couldn't ever find it. I couldn't remember the name of the park, but I knew that I was astonished by how well-made it was. It had a Greek theme to it, with lots of whites and blues in the color palette.
I just found it!
It's called "Acropolis Revisited". I absolutely cannot wait to dive back into this park!

One of the games that formulated my childhood was Star Wars: Rebel Assault II.
It's an on-rails shooter and not particularly amazing in terms of design, acting or CGI, but it stood right next to the original trilogy, building my earliest memories of Star Wars.
The sense of Star Wars atmosphere was spot on, and it placed you right into a story that FELT like one of the movies, yet didn't share any of their plots.

NO FREAKING WAY, we're getting a Nightdive remaster of Thief: The Dark Project?!
I played the ever-loving snot out of this game as a kid. I never beat it but I loved it so much, it influenced so much of my taste in gaming! This might have to be a day one buy for me :guilded_eyes:

Lately, I've been playing a bit of Torment: Tides of Numenera, and I'm not sure why this didn't get more love from classic cRPG fans.
It's made by inXile (founded by the legendary Brian Fargo of Interplay fame) and truly does feel like an appropriate spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment. Incredible lore/writing, an immensely appealing GUI, seemingly great characters... it really does have it all :guilded_shrug:

I have my issues with Garriott's worldview and Shroud of the Avatar had some problems, but this is another one of those whitepill scenarios like Perifractic buying Commodore!
Absolutely insane news. Ultima is THE grandfather of the modern computer RPG, alongside Might & Magic and Wizardry. Having this series back in its' creator's hands and possibly getting some new titles in the series would be outstanding!

After watching this guy playing the first game, I'm strongly considering grabbing the Master of Orion 1+2 bundle on GOG for the summer sale. I love 4X strategy and I know how foundational this one was on the genre!

It's no secret I love retro PC games, particularly for MS-DOS and early Windows... but if there's one thing I really don't like about games from this era, it's the fact that running them on modern displays does one of two things:
1. The image is rendered low-res and pixellated (to an unpleasant degree) and stretched to fit modern resolutions.
or
2. Running in modern resolutions makes the menus, text, or FOV look really tiny.

The most excellent remaster of one of my all-time favorite games is currently Fanatical's star deal!
Just $33.99 for an open world sandbox RPG with hundreds of hours of gameplay and some of the greatest DLCs and expansions in genre history. If you've never played it, you owe it to yourself to at least consider picking it up.

Everyone talks about HOMM3 but personally, I feel HOMM5 is incredibly underappreciated!
The gameplay is smooth and well-paced. The story is campy early 2000s high fantasy at its best, and the visuals are timeless: colorful and evoking thoughts of tabletop miniatures.
Did you play Heroes of Might and Magic 5? If so, what did you think of it? :odysee_thinking:

I have a question for the retro gaming community on the Fediverse: do any of you have any experience with the GOG Patrons subscription?
I know it's mostly just bonus features and added say in what dreamlist games are prioritized but I'm curious to know what it's like being a patron in case I ever decide that I can spare the money to become one myself. :odysee_thinking:

I don't know about anyone else, but having grown up on PC (9x-era Windows), videos like this fill me with both nostalgia AND wonder.
Nostalgia for an era of games I remember when I was very little, and wonder because there are so many I still haven't played!

can't believe - in a span of a year we got from RAM being so affordable and available to just fucking NOT, that we have to repair RAM. So, great news, I guess?!

While I prefer the base Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, its standalone expansion (Mysteries of the Sith) has one of my favorite Star Wars aesthetics of all time.
It captures the dark, "gritty" feel that people often talk about with shows like Andor, but it does so without abandoning what makes Star Wars what it is, as Andor did.
