Hm. Maybe I’ll do it, then. Don’t know if I got the patience to admin a community but I am an emulation enthusiast.
Certified foxgirl enjoyer. Weeb, but hasn’t properly watched anime in ages. Gamer of incresingly niche subgenres. Aficionado of racecars, mechas, fighter jets, and any other vehicles you can think of. Lives in the wrong side of the planet compared to all my friends. Made way too many Fedi accounts

Welcome! Emulation is probably my favorite method of gaming nowadays, giving me access to most of the classics of gaming from over 20 years of history all at once. If you have a decent computer you get get everything up to the PS3 generation easily, and a less powerful one or a phone can go up to the PS2 or PS1 gens, still giving you plenty of gaming options. I have found so many games and genres I would normally not get into, by trying them out via emulation. Arcade games, especially. I love arcade shmups of the 90’s and early 2000s.
there is an emulation community on lemmy.ml and another at lemmy.world but I would understand if you don’t want to interact with those. I am kinda surprised dbzer0 doesn’t have one.
And then when I say allbillionaires should be put into flaming woodchippers feet first I’m the one that’s out of line.
It’s all of those factors, combined. It’s like a granny turtle trying to catch a trend that went past it 5 years ago. And the entire game being horribly, terribly visually unappealing with the worst character designs ever, does not help at all.
Oohh, I heard about that. I’ve just kept playing the community maintained UT’99 and a little bit of 2k4.
Swear to Jah, all we need is a proper modern, moddable Unreal Tournament.
This run, I started with a Toyota Vitz because of the Gran Turismo meme. Even painted it pink and all. Many cars are viable in this game, I’m currently tearing through most rivals with a Subaru Impreza Wagon! The thing you must notice, however, is that the game heavily relies on upgrading and tuning your car. And, many upgrades don’t initially do anything tangible to your car until you manually mess with them. Upgraded transmission, go in there and set shorter gear ratios. Upgraded suspension, go in there and mess with hardening the springs and dampeners, change wheel alignment and lower the ride height. You can touch up almost any setup section you can think of, it’s really a car game for gear heads. But that’s why I love it. I think it’s even more in depth in that aspect than even Gran Turismo, even if it’s not trying to be a super realistic sim. The whole Tokyo Xtreme Racer franchise is like that, although the highway racers are much more hardcore. TXR Zero is straight up unfair if you’re playing sub optimally.
I think I’m about 40 hours in? I have unlocked all but one track in the game until now. You gotta remember to check the “internet forums” to challenge the leaders of every track, and get hints of how to find new rivals. After some point when you get sponsors, money stops being an issue, even if you can’t farm races during the day.
Doom is almost always my answer. Especially with the fresh Nightdive rerelease!
Anyway I’ve been playing EDF5 again online, and Kaido Racer on the PS2, a lovely street racing game about the mountain roads of Japan.
It should run, the Unity port before this worked, right? I’ll try installing the GoG version on Linux tomorrow, but I already played it on my Switch too and it ran great. Just like the Quake rereleases
EDF!! This is one of my favorite series and one I’m very hyped for again due to the new sequel. Definitely recommend it as a fun coop experience with friends, blowing up hordes of giant alien insects, robots, flying saucers and legally-distinct Kaijus.
Yeah except Palworld has joined Sony for their multimedia franchise, so potentially they can get a lot of monetary and legal support from that. Nintendo took way too long to actually do this frivolous lawsuit.
Let them fight.
