Maybe you can play as Julius in the 70s when it was all wild, and then he chills out by the time of first game

I’ve completed Jak 2, had a single crash the whole game, I think the oficial HD collection had more issues than that. Jak 3 is not done though, can’t wait to try it once they finish with it

PC games were always weird with physical media though, shareware and piracy were prevalent since the 80s. And the physical games were even worse than digital in some regards, with Starforce and Securom rootkit-like drm that crashes modern PCs or Games for Windows Live locking save files (and not even cloud saves, normal local save files) behind online service that is now dead. I resisted making a steam account for as long as I could, but today no one even owns a disc drive, steam just won on convenience

I agree with a lot of this except for destroying physical media. Even consoles went digital, music and movies are digital, I don’t think steam is responsible here

Boku girl

You can just kill everyone in stealth sections so far, and there was no eavesdropping in the missions I’ve done. There are some escort missions, but they give you time and tools to try killing all of the attackers before they even approach

I’ve bought and installed Assassins Creed Rogue and have almost 20 hours in it now. It’s basically Black Flag without the Caribbean theme

“I turned my childhood friend into a girl” is great, but maybe it doesn’t exactly fit because I’m still not sure if it’s actually trans

Is there some secret to running it? Almost every time the game just refuses to start if I add the launch option

Guacomelee should get more love, it’s a really stylish game and there is even coop if you want to play together with someone.

What tattoos do you have? And why these specific ones? It’s always interesting to see why people choose to eternize specific thing on their bodies

It can do “not giving money to Microsoft” at least, so just for that I’m curious

Like gamepass, but tooth

Only the Chinese emulation handhelds have such form factors now, too bad there are no games made specifically for such devices, so you just have old games and phone games

There was also a Babylon 5 mod for Free Space 2

It’s playable with a controller, seems like some things are much harder with it though, and the cursor is stuck at specific distance from you, but you can still have fun, I’ve played a few hours without a mouse and it was enjoyable

Check Ultimate Spider-man as well, although you can also try getting a PC version from abandonware sites and modding it for better experience. For me it felt like a better Spider-man 2, swinging is a bit different but style and story are unmatched.

Jak and Daxter are better played via OpenGoal - a modern open source engine implementation that runs natively on Steam Deck and includes fixes, graphics improvements, proper widescreen, etc.

Graphics don’t matter as much as the quality of interactions. I had to get used to my real life hands after playing Superhot VR for too long for example.

Makes you remember that your brain is piloting a meat mecha basically, and all the sensations of what is real come from different sensors around the body connected by electrical wires (nerves), and some parts constantly need calibration.

How is it clearly better? It’s a broken incompatible mess that’s being pushed on everyone that offers more headaches than benefits
