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

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.

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...

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

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.

  • Ostriv
  • Banished
  • Surving the Aftermath
  • Frostpunk
  • Planetbase

Smaller scale than Cities Skylines and also have other gameplay mechanics but that’s how I like it.

I’m the same way with games that just get overwhelming and I loose interest.

Ostriv is another game like Banished where it is smaller scale so you might like that too.

I’m pretty sure it was Paperboy on one of those Tiger Handhelds. Looking them up now brings back memories.

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.

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

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.

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.

B0NK3RS,

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.

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

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.

B0NK3RS,

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

SWH is excellent so the same and more please.

I played it lots back in the day. I was watching a random Twitch stream last night for C&C Generals multiplayer. 5 player skirmish was just an absolute frenzy.

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!

You won’t believe what happened next…

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

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