I'm still playing Rimworld

Regardless, I never spend more than $20 on a game, wait for the "Game of the Year Platinum Super Edition" to go on sale. It works every time!

Same. Got the base Cyberpunk 2077 game for $18. And then got the dlc for $18. Best $36 I've spent on a game in a long time.

If a new take on an old MMO is interesting, maybe look up Everquest Legends. It's basically an oldschool MMO combined with a massive power fantasy. It has problems (many, many problems), but it's still a pretty good time.

All hail the ability to emulate console games up to a certain generation well enough on even lower end hardware.

Ain't no other way to officially enjoy classics like Tony Hawk Pro Skater ( best on Dreamcast IMO ). Probably one of the greatest skater games, just behind a game like Skate 2. But maybe that's the nostalgia talking...

Clan Lord

I played it during the beta way back in ‘97(?) but couldn’t continue when it went to a monthly subscription due to being a teen. I found out it was still going 3 years ago and became re-addicted.

Now a character is $15USD and no money is asked for after that. No micro-transactions or nuthin’.

The graphics maintain the ‘97 2D top-down style with chat bubbles, but the game still gets monthly updates.

You can log in for free but no progress will be saved and you don’t get to choose your name or anything cool.

The community is super friendly and helpful and some players have been playing since the start. It’s deceptively deep and there’s wikis to help you figure out what’s going on, but I don’t want to overload you with links right now.

There’s a discord too, but I’d rather you ask for it in-game to avoid and non-clanners causing trouble

What about playing them on the original consoles? I've got a Game Cube and PS3 I still use occasionally, and a PS2 that I haven't tried in a long time but would give it 50/50 for just booting up if I hooked it up, plus some portion of the failure 50% includes the possibility of repairing it.

There's sex mods for Rimworld so I wouldn't be surprised.

Original console, in most cases, is probably gonna be the better option IMO. But due to the rising cost of everything, games/consoles included, emulation is better from a purely price saving standpoint. I am lucky enough to have so many consoles, but I still emulate or use console softmods because I can't afford every game I want.

I remembered my family having the ps1 version, but my brother said I was wrong because we apparently had the n64 version.

Either way, was definitely a defining game of my early childhood. Such a fun game. I was lucky enough to find it at a game store where I live. It was for some reason tucked away with the ps1 games and somehow just barely under $20USD before tax! A steal, if you ask me.

My latest round is Kohan: Immortal Sovereigns, Railroad Tycoon II, Plants vs. Zombies, and a bit of TF2.

We still bust out the GameCube to play MarioKart Double Dash.

Kinda wish there would be some effort for a de compilation or custom engine for linux but for that its probably too modern to be feasible.

No disagreement there, I only responded because of the "ain't no other way" in your OP.

Fallout New Vegas

You had me worried. Surely Fallout New Vegas isn't a 20 year old game? But no, it only came out 16 years ago. Crisis averted.

Good news! Bethesda is surely about to release a patch that fixes nothing you need and breaks all your mods, just like Skyrim the other day again!

I’m currently obsessed with How Many Dudes? That game is so much fun.

The newest console I have is a ps3. I had been playing Final Fantasy 13 recently.

I’m thinking of getting a ps4 though maybe for cyberpunk or no man’s sky?

I got annoyed with Skyrim on ps3 because of annoying save/load times and broken quests that I couldn’t patch or fix.

If I try Fallout NV on ps3 will I have a better time?

I also love how emulators make 40 year old games much more playable with features like state save.
