They did not, they said you can be successful without corpo overhead and bullshittery.

Github, that’s limiting API calls, hmm…

It’s literally not, but I don’t want to get into it.

You don’t need full communism, just make sure companies are owned by the workers, suddenly they will have more money, free time, they will cut down the working hours, and that will help passion projects like these and many more.

There’s no need for this aggresive exaggeration.

The problem is capitalism, plain and simple.

I pre-ordered the Steam Deck.

That is the only thing I did in the last decade.

Man, I miss those times.

My favourite kill vid I go back to is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnnY9e_7XZw

I should just host some CS1.6 servers and hope some people start playing.

Send me links of what you’re watching, I wanna watch too :D

I remember those frag compilations vids, those were so badass.

You can’t replicate that era, you have to keep the memories alive inside you, and perhaps try to improve some other communities.

I plan on helping/sponsoring some minor leagues just for the fun, find a game and try to make some magic happen.

You won’t get scammed in the traditional way, it’s just that gamblers mentality is so self-destructive.

You know the joke that 90% of gamblers stop before hitting it big?

The ‘10%’ (it’s obviously way smaller number) even when they win big, they won’t stop.

If you’re in an online casino… you won’t.

I’ve seen some shit.

Yeah, me too… man, I would play 16+ hours on some weekends… I was kinda good, too. Too young, but godly reflexes. I still think about those days sometimes…

Yeah, but it still popped into my mind sooner than other games, dunno why,

I tried playing it, but the combat… the combat, man, I can play many games, finished Elden Ring, played ton of CS1.6, Dota 2, Terraria Infernum… but Sekiro I could not finish.

I’ve heard it’s a rhytmic game, but I suck at those, too.

Games I haven’t seen mentioned yet:

• Fez - cute little 2D/3D platformer. It’s amazing and very wholesome

• Stalker: Shadow of Chenrobyl - dunno what exactly is it, perhaps the settings and the grit, but it has a special place in my heart. It’s about average FPS, but not too long and for me enjoyable

• F.E.A.R. - very good FPS, with amazingly scripted enemies, decent horror elements (not compulsory - you might miss some of them if you’re not looking).

• Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - for me the best 3rd person action adventure ever. Best combat hands down (or head, or torso, you choose), streamlined blade dance at your fingertips. You play with your enemies, and you get many tools. There are some locked camera issues.

• Touhou: Lost branch of time - If you liked Slay the Spire, but wished for colorful mana, this is the game for you. It has anime artstyle, I usually focus on the cards, though it might turn some people off

• Dota 2 - Dunno if it was mentioned and I didn’t see, but the mechanics are absolutely amazing, the things the game lets you get away with are incredible. 10/10, but other people might bring your experience down. Specially friends. Can play against custom (workshop) bots. Still takes too long to git gud. I studied the game for 10 years and still sucked.

• Divinity 2: Original Sin - also haven’t seen a mention, everybody talks about BG3, I haven’t yet played it, but D2:OS was also a masterpiece. Haven’t played a lot of TRPGs, this was a blast, with easily set up multiplayer. Played through it twice completely, with many abandoned runs.

• CS 1.6 - remember that? I lost my childhood to that. They don’t make counter strikes this good anymore.

• Synthetik - top-down rougelike shooter, with amazing weapons and physics and classes and enemies and mechanics and 2 person multiplayer

• Dwarf Fortress - the real objectively best game :D strategy simulation of the 3D box world, predecesor to both Minecraft and Terraria, but with A LOT more sand in your box. They are still extending it. And it’s on Steam if you want a UI.

• Terraria (Calamity mod) - Terraria is obviously a great game, but what makes it 20/10 is the mods. Calamity specifically. Tripple the content, 5x the difficulty (20x if you try Infernum), amazing multiplayer experience. Don’t install Infernum if you haven’t beaten at least Revengeance on Calamity. Trust me, it will fuck you up.

• Yakuza 0 - how could I forget about this masterpiece? Story done absolutely right, that game had no business making me feel so strongly about it. Cool combat, very funny moments, but I cried during it. If you haven’t tried it, check it out. You won’t regret it.

• OpenTTD - Trains. Do you like to create and manage big rail systems? This is for you. And your friends. Only noobs use planes. Only psychos use boats. Nobody uses only vehicles.

I tried to play that game, expecting perhaps a DMC-like gameplay.

Instead I got a 2D plane scroller?

Then 2D sort of platformer?

Then some weird 3D action that I did not understand at all?

What the fuck is that game.

If I enjoyed combat more, I could give it another go. But it was just not for me.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within.

Hands down best action adventure ever.

That combat was soo smooth and satisfying.

I want to replay it every year, but it hangs shortly after start on my Steam Deck.

You can decrypt old messages on Matrix, in some cases.

Nicole is now on Discord, too?

It would be, until I’ve seen millenials do the exact same thing.

Yeah, but the image seems pretty spot on, and that’s what you replied to.
