Also quite different. I think Terraria is objectively better than base game Minecraft, though, after their respective updates (which I blame Microsoft monetization). When modded, they're both great games.

I still love working against the clock to stop corruption from taking over my Terraria planet, though. Reclaiming land is a thing I like, but there are mods like that in Minecraft too that are really fun of you're into it.

Funny how I'm an era with 70inch+ TVs, split screen feels like a relic. No, instead we had to do our split screen on 18inch CRTs. Tsk.

At least it exists still in the indie sphere (and I guess Lego games, when far apart!).

Side by side, but let's be honest, over/under gives a better field of vision. Depends on the game, I guess.

Woe to the people with more siblings and the four way split.

Funny, cause my wife found that kind of annoying for some reason. Iirc, it was optional though. (I ultimately had to solo most of the ones I had, but I'll get back into it when my kids are older, haha)

Favorite point and click adventure: Sam and Max. They recently remastered the first season. Funny/silly game.

Only silly people flaunt achievements. I use them as a meta-gaming guideline, which in a good game leads to interesting and fun challenges. In an RPG, it's like a check box for getting every ultimate weapon, fighting every boss, etc.

Can also give me something to do in a game I've played but loved. Retroachevements for instance encouraged me replay SaGa (aka Final Fantasy Legend) with only one character in the team. Wasn't too hard, but definitely a second playthrough thing.

True, if and when I ever get around to replaying things that could be a problem (although the industry has seen to remaking everything I cared about, sometimes poorly, but that's another problem).

Another shout-out to the nerds running retroachevements though because they thought it that; they have an encore mode that let's you redo achievements. Although honestly you could just make a second account, that stuff is for emulated content anyway and it's not like it's DRMed, haha.

Let's not besmirch the name of modded Minecraft. I just got my mekanism fission reactor running and the nuclear fallout from messing that up would make a 8 chunk area unlivable for 29 game days.

Vanilla can have it's fucking armadillos, lol.

There's a couple of mods that do that, but I remember watching a streamer nuke a small town for the luls (his fans were on server and were cool with it). Nowadays most packs have anti-greving stuff, though, which is a double edged sword as claimed chunks can't even get damaged by creepers.

That said, I think my favorite is Thaumcrafts oopsies--- too much magic, you get eldrich horrors tearing the very fabric of reality. It's very unsettling and does turn every block to a corrupted stone that's a pain to break.

I know what to do next time I'm teaching on 4/1...

And that's what I kept getting on LinkedIn.

I visit reddit occasionally and honestly, Reddit is also just reddit recycled content. I'm not on there nearly as much as I used to be and I still see the same fucking posts and videos on popular, many of which are just karma bots.

I think I see more new stuff on Lemmy. Not usually good stuff, but at least it's novel. Or very very old memes, but that's not recycled reddit, that's more recycling icanhascheeseburger or some shit, and I'm down for that.

I'm glad someone brings that one up. Oof.

Oh man, I love 1991s MSDos platformer Cheeze Caves. Apobee went on to make Nuke Dukem, Kommander Clean, and Wolfenstain 3D.

Funny I was just thinking about getting the 4080 super. Kinda on the fence, but I need something for the living room TV.

Yeah... Just a little longer I suppose.

Yet, in the old days the only path to success was through shoving straight into a hole. Now a days (while having a Tetris 99 orgy) you have your T spins and your combos and your double T spins. It's a T agenda conspiracy!

I mean, if you duel boot, it's just a matter of time until Windows nukes your other OS. At least with me, my Linux was about to solve world peace, but Windows got wind of that and shut it the fuck down.

Meme is correct, they're coming for you.

I still need to fix mine, thanks for the link. The weirdest break it did once was messing with my Wi-Fi driver, managed to break Linux' driver somehow, making the Internet a no go. Still no idea how Windows managed that though, they shouldn't be messing with my bios. :/

The fact denuvo can make a 20+ year old port run like garbage is especially impressivly bad. It's sometimes hard to avoid, but usually it gets dropped because it's a subscription a publisher has to pay. Patient gamers just have to be patient.
