I prefer this Halloween mood simulator:

I bought a jailbroken xbox 360 a while ago, just recently figured out how to pirate the games, now fixed the thumbstick drift. It was way easier than I thought. All I had to do was clean it, I thought I'd have to disassemble it and patch it up with rubber bands and staples. Enjoyed some Lost Odyssey, Geometry Wars, and Ninja Gaiden 2, with many more games to come.

You're a furry?

Anyway... I had this old chromebook (new from my tribe in 2020 but i never got it activated correctly as you need internet).

I dl'd some games from googleplay and took it home where i have no net. I tried this game: shattered pixel dungeon and i see it wants to emulate beneath my parents house via the crawlspace

I already killed one rat. No idea how to screenshot on the device.

Mine is much dustier and dirty and lacks box, manual or software. I need a manual, drivers and usb adapter. Even thrustmaster site doesn't have this listed. I found others on ebay. Old tech.

Yeah, no clue if coleco works at all.

The game port is a device port that was found on IBM PC compatible and other computer systems throughout the 1980s and 1990s. It was the traditional connector for joystick input, and occasionally MIDI devices, until obsoleted by USB in the late 1990s.

Enjoy the Revolution! Another revolution around the sun that is. Shadorwun: Hong Kong Divinity: Original Sin 2 Pillars of Eternity 2: Deadfire Pathfinder: Wrath I'm very into cock and ball torture I helped put crap in Monomyth
I wasted time on Carmageddon TDR 2000, and now I am wasting time on Sanitarium. Both of them, I have had a good time with.

I've been playing the game where you click on steam discovery queue and put a bunch of trash games on ignore.
:negative:
Just play older stuff. 1 of the 51 games that I beat this year is a 2022 release.

Or just write what type of game you're looking for. I'll give some suggestions, and then you can shit on them.

I played a google chrine game but killing rats in the game isn't as thrilling as IRL slaying rats. (Shrugs)

Always a good time to suggest Hammer and Sickle and Prelude to Darkness since most people even the codex never played them.

Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001)

The one I just beat was the 2003 PS2 version on my handheld; on PC the ideal course would be to start with either console version for the exclusive prologue in Egypt before switching to the PC version for glorious M&K.

The PS2 and Xbox versions have different titles (Operation Resurrection / Tides of War) but are essentially the same, the real difference is that on Xbox the campaign can be played cooperatively in splitscreen.

I've always been lukewarm towards it, obviously that's a different approach to WWII but to me RtCW has always been Allied Assault's cripple sibling.

Apart from being first-person shooters where you kill nazis during the 1940s, those games aren't particularly similar.

RtCW is basically a Half-Life successor - you have a huge arsenal of guns, there are more enemy types other than "nazi with a pistol, nazi with a rifle, nazi with an smg, etc", character's movement is relatively arcadey and allows you to run-and-gun, the level design has a similar flow to Half-Life and features secret places with extra supplies. Meanwhile, Allied Assault, despite being a PC game, is a progenitor of popamole console shooters.

I'm on an old ass laptop so I figured I'd play old ass games. I'm very impressed by Dark Sun: Shattered Lands. It feels like a proto IE game with how it controls. It's not quite there yet with regards to quality of life but it works well enough.

There's also an impressive amount of freedom and detail in the game. Sure, a lot of the maps are desert corridors but at least they mixed it up by having some maps be at night for example. You can straight up kill anyone at any time if you want
