Probably the period of '95 thought to '05. Mostly because they were the days of local multiplayer with friends and also the jump in technology made things even more interesting.

Combined we had all the 4 player games on the N64. So Goldeneye, SSB, F-Zero, Mario Kart, Snowboard Kids, DK Racing, Perfect Dark, WCW vs NWO and more.

It’s still there but with family instead friends now. My kids won’t get the same experience though which is sad.

I have 2 cups in the morning and then an espresso later on.

I didn’t own a PS2 until about 2006 when I lived with my girlfriend (now wife!) but even then it was replaced with an Xbox 360 the next year.

I’m a Dreamcast and GameCube kid and I do love the PS1 but just haven’t got any nostalgia for PS2.

You won’t believe what happened next…

No one likes post like these so please give more context next time.

I haven’t played it yet and every time I get reminded of the game it’s because of something like this…

Probably the Xbox Series S because of the quick-resume feature. Sometimes I just want to play for 15 minutes in-between other stuff so skipping the loading time is great.

I’m glad you went with that and not on a history lesson…

It wasn’t really an issue while the console was still alive though, at least not until very near the end at least. It would have became a massive issue if the console continued though.

I think the 3 main reasons why are lack of DVD player, lack of 3rd party support and then the player base losing confidence because of the Saturn.

DCJY podcast Ep.100 is great for this and has an interview with Peter Moore that gives some details.

SWH is excellent so the same and more please.

Games that still need more patience: what games released a year ago (or older) are you waiting for a sale on? Or that need another patch?

Other than a slew of Nintendo titles that maybe hopefully will come down in price (the patient gamers’ bane), I have my eye on the next time Divinity: Original Sin 2 goes on sale. A friend who never plays anything other than WoW loved playing Larian’s newest with me and I’m trying to get her to pick this up. Pretty sure...

Highfleet

It’s been on sale a few times but not more than maybe 30% so I’ll keep waiting.

Also I’m waiting impatiently for EA WRC to come to gamepass!

Some good nostalgia and my god they wouldn’t dare see the light of day anymore.

How to revitalize this sub?

I love the original patientgamers subreddit so I was stoked to find this community. And because lemmy seems to have a more knowledgeable crowd any topic I posted here had great engagement and discussions, despite the small community. I am too busy to be a mod but maybe I can help by sparking this discussion: what would be needed...

The monthly recommendation thread is from 3 months ago so doing that regularly is a start. It at least shows the community is active if it gets updated on time.

I’d agree and I think especially the amount of comments per post has reduced.

There was a crossover podcast recently with DCJY and SSS! that was very good. Also I’ve never actually played on a Saturn before but I’m starting to gain interest.

I often used the original Playstation and then my Dreamcast for CDs but not in a long long time.

Tiamats Wrath by James S. A. Corey.

Its been a few years since my first time reading so it’s been great going back to it as I’d forgotten most of this one apart from the major points.

Also I’ve struggled to want to read something new recently so also re-read Murderbot Diaries and The Martian.

Today is our daughters birthday and we are both in a daze of “how are they so old already”…

The past week has been a chill one so couldn’t ask for anything more really.

I’m really looking forward to Harold Halibut.

I avoided the demo last month because of spoilers and have barely read or watched anything about the game in anticipation.

Late-to-the-party appreciation post for Ted Lasso (spoiler warning goes here)

I absolutely adored the first 2 seasons as they came out and wasn’t confident in how the third season would follow up. And tbh, the first half was somewhat underwhelming. The Zava stuff seemed pointless and it kinda felt like it was running on auto-pilot. But man, starting with the Amsterdam episode it was just banger after...

B0NK3RS,

I enjoyed the first season but then it dropped off hard from there. I did watch it all but doubt I’ll ever go back to it.

Thanks. Looks like an interesting adaptation.
