I used emulation to show a bunch of old PS1, PS2, and original Xbox games I had when I was younger to my partner. It was a fun evening, and they actually enjoyed most of them. They didn’t really get into gaming until the Wii, so it was nice to see their reactions to some of the older stuff.

But I agree with the other comments here, it should really only be used for preservation or things you can’t purchase from retail anymore.

I remember being blown away by a gameplay demo of Bioshock during E3. They used a lightning bolt to shock the water, and it worked?!

I rented the game for the Xbox 360, and was equally blown away by its story. What an awesome experience. I play though it occasionally on my PC just to live in its world again, though I think I like the original more than the remaster.

It’s Star Wars stuff, don’t worry about it

What a shit take lmao

My work shift doesn’t even end by that time!

Slice and Dice is a very fun strategy rougelike, kind of a mix of DnD and Yhatzee.

I saw this post as I’m rubbing my cat’s belly, lol.

I didn’t even know there was a submersible tour-

Oh. That’s why.

I had a friend that would constantly teleport out of the map when hit by the new scorpion enemies. It was funny at first, but then annoying when she had to leave and rejoin multiple times. Love the randomization beer though!

I played this demo and loved it, really excited for the full release.

I also have longer queue times, but I’m skewed towards the higher end of the curve so there’s already just less available players for me.

I’d imagine it’s a combination of a few different things; -The awful news of PvE and terrible PR probably turned off a lot of people from the game -The surge of free to play players moving on -The time you were playing can have a big impact, at least it does for me. I get way shorter queue times on weekends and evenings.

For reference, I’m in NA and get around the same times though. 5 minutes in quick play when queued for damage or support.

I have nothing to contribute to the actual conversation, I just wanted to point out the way you worded that your “gardening instance is growing slowly” was funny.

The implication here that the blackout was mods on a power trip when in my experience, most subreddits were already put to a vote, and the users voted for this.

I hope this mindset becomes more common. I have ADHD and it’s been difficult just to get my medication every month.

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed!
