Ditto! I run an old server, but would be willing to upgrade and self host a service instead of paying this ass hat any more money!

I used to be a big Destiny 2 player, but my friends (UK) and I (US) could never line up timezones for raids etc. so I used to just solo patrols and got bored with the rarity grind. I did hear the last expansion was excellent but also fuck Bungie for greedy practices. I was excited for Marathon, but that’s dropped a little.

Yeah this might be the direction I go, I have Titanfall 2 on Steam and played a little on the Deck and enjoyed the movement. Any suggestions as a N00B and any things to avoid?

Thanks for the suggestion, I saw DRG pop up a bunch during the Helldivers 2 drama. Is it only PVE? I’ll have a look at it.

This was the “oh shit” hype moment for me, as well as Yotei obviously. When I moved to the US all I had was my red PSP while I slept on a couch at my mom and grandma’s place in middle of nowhere Tennessee. I knew nothing about this games past, but I needed an escape at the time, decided to spring for Lunar Silver Star Harmony. I fell in love with this game, the music and anime cut scenes. Very excited to play it again on my TV and also try the sequel. Although I need to get mentally prepared for all the Nall dialogue!

If I had more physical GB/GBA carts I’d pull the trigger. But while I have a Steam Deck and plenty of other devices with good emulation, I can’t justify $250+ for a device to play retro games!

Thank you! This is super helpful to know, I’ve got “Wait!” on, it’s the knowing “who can do what when” that I’m not in the “flow” of yet, but I’m sure it’ll click soon.

I’ve avoided guides outside of getting stuck (didn’t see the Arris Dome ladder and had to look it up) and I’d like to keep it that way outside of unlocking some cool weapons/items later.

Any recommendations on when I should focus on grinding and what special mid/late game items I should look up guides for? I’m about to go to Site 32 and can’t decide if I should be grinding much or just pushing through with the story. Good call on the chests, but I doubt I’ll be able to stay on top of remembering that!

DAMN, hella amazing memories you are sharing! Also wanted to give Earthbound a go as well.

Don’t know yet, probably gonna see how this run goes. I’m hoping it sinks its teeth into me and I want to play multiple runs!

Dope! I didn’t even think of that! Thank you

First time playing Chrono Trigger, on Steam Deck (Steam version not emulated, I know! I know!). I’m enjoying it although I’m suffering from early RPG slowness and trying to push through. Hoping the Steam version holds out, seems like every update of Proton is nerve wracking. Love the music and art style. I do feel like I lose doors or POIs easily and I need to get better/quicker with the battle UI.

I can hear and smell this photo… why do I suddenly want sweets and fizzy pop?

Similar to Glide said above, wanted a space sim and realize it’s more of a survival game. On the opposite end I played a little Elite Dangerous which was WAY TOO INVOLVED space sim!

One of those games I’m glad I bought at launch, although I’ve fired it up 3-4 times and struggled with the mechanics… it’s nice to know it’s still evolving and I can always start fresh again with the new content. If I wasn’t so deep into Helldivers I’d give it another go right now… but Democracy can’t wait!
