Ugh - 2019-05-05

this year i'm more excited by the bullshit drama in pc gaming than by gaming on pc

Yeah, this is why I’ve gone cardboard. I’m getting too old for this shit.

The trick, in my view, is to get into retrogaming.
The graphics won't be as good but you'll get complete games. No DLC, no injection of immersion-breaking hot takes, just hours and hours of solid entertainment. Even if you have a potato computer, you could still probably play old school Battlefront II, Left 4 Dead 2, and some emulators and tons of roms. You'd end up with more gaming then you could ever do in one mortal lifetime.


Ugh - 2019-05-05

part of my problem is my rig is a dying, troublesome beast from 2009, so i've been stuck on a diet of retro for the last ten years. i was hoping to use the hype from 2019/2020 to motivate myself into a new pile of shiny parts, dive headfirst into a 144fps cyberpunky brewster 2099 or whatever experience

now i'm just watching as sweeney and pitchford pretend that they're the killdozers of pc gaming, violent and valiant saviours to protect pc game developers from the evil valve and the sith lord gaben

i've read so much on this that i'm starting to burn out before i've even started again, but i guess i can give educated opinions on the subject so bully for me

I’m waiting on cyberpunk 2077 and at least the 2nd generation of raytracing hardware before building a new rig.

AAA gaming is such a steaming pile otherwise right now that I’m plenty happy playing ye olde games

I dusted off the old NES this month and I've been really having fun playing games for the firs time in years. Even starting to get in to livestreaming a little bit now.

Don't forget indie games! Many indie games lack bullshit like
dlc, microtransactions, etc.

I highly recommend : Hypnospace outlaw, Baba is you, Heartbeat, and Secret Little Haven. There are lots of awesome free games on itch.io. Shoutout to my favorite autuers: Porpentine, Communistsister, Kitty Horrorshow, and Auntie Pixalante!

Randy Pitchford would be the biggest loser in gaming if it weren't for Anthony Burch.

And Phil Fish.

And Zoe Quinn.

And Tim Schafer.

And the guy who made YIIK.

For everyone shitting on computer games in general...
That is a very broad shit, ure shitting on an entire medium.

AAA games like modern fallout = pop music, Justin Bieber etc. Its garbage.

Indie games = awesome original music by some local musicheads.

Eg. A couple days ago I played HypnoSpace outlaw
http://www.hypnospace.net/
It was fucking amazing!
Wholly original
it cost $17
I beat it over the course of a few days, like I dunno how many hours I played, maybe 12?
It will run on any almost POS pc.

Thats all very typical for indie games.
I play probably a couple dozen indie games per year and they are maybe my favourite kind of art to consume.
Amazing indie games are regularly released if you care to look.
Here is a short list to get u started.

Paperclips
Knytt
kerbal space program
Opus Magnum
gorogoa
Uurnog
heat signature
Naissancee
legend of grimrock (1 & 2)
frozen synapse
infinifactory
factorio
spacechem
botanicula
machinarium
the banner saga
obduction
Satisfactory
Minecraft

Get off your high horse there Custer, no one was saying PC gaming sucks.

Everyone was saying AAA gaming sucks
