Re: Determining how much to spend on this hobby

Posted on 2021-04-22, 10:19

Most of my things are freebies from friends and co-workers, basement salvages, stuff to be discarded at my workplace and I like to fish in troubled waters, buy mislabelled and/or untested items extremely cheaply and in the majority of the time those are either good or can be fixed. I rarely spend …

Today I received my retail copy of Prey (2006) from the UK. If we are talking about preservation, whenever I get an older retail game, especially if it's something that used to be in online stores, but got removed I always try to redeem to product key. With this one I had luck on Steam, so now I …

Ditching the X1600 Pro for the HD2400 Pro wasn't the best choice. The X1600 is the faster graphics card by around 50-100% depending on the game and the settings. It'll really struggle in the later part of your targeted era (2003-2004 games). I'd recommend keeping your eye open for a 7600GS at least, …

Sounds like you are trying to describe me and other middle-aged, married people with families, as a gamer. Although I don't get the statement "don't really care about games." Why would somebody bother playing lengthy games if they didn't care about them? I would think if it took months to get …

There is nothing wrong with the save system so there is nothing to fix. .../mods/1 Just because a lot of players suck and games and/or like to save scum doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the save system. KDC's system is a good way to mitigate save scumming. A much bigger problem in role …

On a horse, it just swivels your head around. You can only move the horse with WASD. I use a mod to stop that annoying head swivel - easy to install from memory. I also use a mod to fix the save system, which I objected to. There is nothing wrong with the save system so there is nothing to fix.

Finished a game I started in 2003 and only restarted this year - Need For Speed Underground. Finished almost every map on Medium, except the drift tracks (which I suck at), and a couple of circuits and drags. Still think it holds up well today as one of the great racing games. It was recently that …

I went through the whole KDC in 106 hours and I don't think the prologue took me 5 hours even by losing all my money on dice poker and harvesting all the weeds in Skalitz to sell them and have money to buy the charcoal and whatever else. Anyway. Currently I'm replaying KOTOR 1. I'm about 14 hours in …
