i got a switch on release day i should probably hack it one of these days

sadly these games are few and far between these days, so i can recommend some new stuff, then a bunch of older stuff:

new stuff:

• Elite: Dangerous. The space flight sim of the modern era. Plenty of missions to do and pewpew if you like, or you can be a space trucker.
• X4: Foundations. More of an economic sim. Giant simulated world. Sometimes called Eve Offline.
• There really isn't any new mech stuff outside of Mechwarrior 5. Daemon X Machina is a recent mech game but that's a bit more arcadey, but may scratch the itch.

old stuff:

• X3: Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude. Older version of X series but much more mature and polished since it's had over ten years of updates. Also easier on weaker systems.
• Freespace 1 & 2. Excellent mission-to-mission space flight sims. True spectacles in their times. If you play these there's an open-source re-implementation of the engine.
• Independence War 2. My personal fav in high school. Neat mix of pirating, missions, trading, and it has a story but I don't remember how good it actually is.
• Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries. Hard to get running on a modern machine but tons of fun if you can get it going.
• Mechwarrior 2, Mechwarrior 2 Mercenearies. Maybe a little too dated for today but they're classics.

oh so interior design is just a joke to you is it?

in my headcanon he's been reincarnated into generation alpha and will become their most prolific jazz pianist

i have read this but thank you for reminding me about it

this makes me wonder what does "too good" even mean? can a game be too good? i suppose we might not know until we see it.

as someone who spent four years having gut surgeries…. that kind of is half of what they’re talking about when they talk about “digestive health”

ever since i started on a new acid reflux medication (gaviscon advance, has a gum-like substance extracted from algae in it) i have been having amazing poops tbh

burning skull is a classic

regrettably it was not a sunday that year.

I think the ultimate problem is that the main character, Mario, is fucking boring

i can't believe a character played by chrisp ratt is boring, oh what a surprise

we all gotta start somewhere

i have a hunch the "energy shield" is metaphorical anyway

1. take the pendulum from your favorite clock

2. while your nintendo 64 is running mario 64, smash the cartridge with the pendulum. aim to smack the cartridge out of the slot, though fully removing the cartridge isn't necessarily required to trigger the crash

3. with enough luck, the game will crash after a swing or two. it may take more depending on how weak and noodly your arms are

i stole it

you're so right friend

yeah whenever my acid reflux acts up

god i love name of the wind
