There were some bizarre ads from around the late 90s to early 00s.

The Dreamcast Barber comes to mind.

Psychonauts 2 is amazing. I had a really good time playing it and my kids were completely engrossed in it by my side.

To me it feels like a big drop in activity on Lemmy over the past 6 months? So the weekly and monthly post are being forgotten and some are letting standards slip.

The HDD in my Xbox One S was starting to die so I decided to swap it for an SSD. Surprisingly easy to do with just a torx screwdriver and a spudger. So now I’m starting Red Dead Redemption again as I got so close to completion but didn’t quite finish the story.

Having all your games lined up nicely only to notice the 20 different shades of blue…

Old School Rally

Heavily inspired by Colin McRae Rally on the PS1 and it looks the part but the car handling really lets in down. Unresponsive at stirred, brakes are too sticky and pace notes are called to late and not together.

Parking Garage Rally Circuit

Fun little circuit time trial mode in the demo with arcade controls (hold X to drift and earn boost like Mario Kart). Kind of game where you will spend time perfecting your run to try and save milliseconds. It has the visuals of a Sega Saturn/Arcade game which is cool.

N64 is one of my favourites but also the hardest to go back to after all these years.

Never heard of BAR before so thanks for this. Looks amazing and can’t wait to try.

I have barely any subscriptions for anything anymore and once Gamepass expires (I did the £1 upgrade offer) I will not renew.

I just chop and change to whatever I want for the month but overall I don’t really use many paid services anymore.

Even though I grew up with 8/16bit I’ve never really had any nostalgia for it apart from a select few games.

• Ostriv
• Banished
• Surving the Aftermath
• Frostpunk
• Planetbase

Smaller scale than Cities Skylines and also have other gameplay mechanics but that’s how I like it.

I’m the same way with games that just get overwhelming and I loose interest.

Ostriv is another game like Banished where it is smaller scale so you might like that too.

I played it lots back in the day. I was watching a random Twitch stream last night for C&C Generals multiplayer. 5 player skirmish was just an absolute frenzy.

It’s still there but with family instead friends now. My kids won’t get the same experience though which is sad.

Probably the period of '95 thought to '05. Mostly because they were the days of local multiplayer with friends and also the jump in technology made things even more interesting.

Combined we had all the 4 player games on the N64. So Goldeneye, SSB, F-Zero, Mario Kart, Snowboard Kids, DK Racing, Perfect Dark, WCW vs NWO and more.

I have 2 cups in the morning and then an espresso later on.

I didn’t own a PS2 until about 2006 when I lived with my girlfriend (now wife!) but even then it was replaced with an Xbox 360 the next year.

I’m a Dreamcast and GameCube kid and I do love the PS1 but just haven’t got any nostalgia for PS2.

You won’t believe what happened next…

No one likes post like these so please give more context next time.

I haven’t played it yet and every time I get reminded of the game it’s because of something like this…

I’m glad you went with that and not on a history lesson…

Probably the Xbox Series S because of the quick-resume feature. Sometimes I just want to play for 15 minutes in-between other stuff so skipping the loading time is great.
