So – in addition to the games themselves do we also need to preserve the culture and customs how to play them properly ? Probably! You look through old issues of Computer Gaming World, and half the ads for gridders like EOB show hand drawn paper maps next to the game box! If you aren't making one …

I mean, take 2020 for instance. Of the top ten games from metacritic, GOG doesn't have a single one of them available DRM free. It's true that GOG doesn't have many top games from the recent years. However, there are a few exceptions. For example, Control was a fairly popular 2019 title and it's …

Funny enough this month's project is finding cracked versions of my games less then 10 years old. 3 are physical media but where the game and DLC and require activation, The oldest been from 2012 and still activated last year but no guarantee for how long. The final one is C&C Remastered on Steam, …

Weirdly enough, the same site I used to use back in the late 90's and early 00's was still up last I checked. Checking now, it is in fact still up, and the banner even proudly proclaims 1998-2023. Guess they haven't updated it for this year. They even still have nearly the exact same layout as I …

You know, I've seen a lot of headlines about this being a blow to emulation, and it is. But perhaps, just perhaps, if you are operating under the fig leaf that emulation is different from piracy, you shouldn't keep extensive logs of all the piracy you've done.

So, my NVDA holding finally 10x'ed, so I took some profits and splurged on an RTX 4070 Super. First on the list of games I'd been putting off is Cyberpunk 2077 . I avoided this game like the plague when it came out. But I guess it turns out CD Projekt actually fixed it over the years? A lot of …

Very nice wooden build case.... i like it... just like the old TV-Sets back in the 50s. A little tip for the dent in the grill... perhaps you can use some coloured wax to fill it? I used some of this for repairing my wooden floor and normaly you can find it in the right color... some around the …

My labors are at an end! The last few weeks were mostly taken up blowing leaves. But then I finally got around to gluing up the back panel, then cutting it into the two sections. I did my best to route out a section for the power supply, but it's a little jank. But it's the back of the case so who …

Man, I have so many games I want to get to, but now you guys are making me want to play Deus Ex again. I remember at the time it was a whole vibe , that I think lasted until the sequel kind of killed it. The early 2000's internet went all in on Deus Ex in a way that's hard to imagine these days. It …
