Well… for me? It's Corpse Party, as in the whole IP. I'd recommend starting out with the more simple RPG Maker titles from the early days, even the wide variety of fan titles, since they're SOVL, though the peak is probably the PSP and PS Vita titles, I'm excited that it seems the IP's getting revived on consoles this year, hopefully it's good, at least the artwork looks promising…

>>63143
corpse party has been such a iconic japanese horror game that it is still known to this day (game was created in 1996!!)

I know PS1 aesthetics games like "Night of consumers"


>>61348
>>61349
yeah, FEAR was quite a game

>>63143
Oddly enough the OG title from 1996 is still the series' peak in my eyes, the atmosphere was excellent.

welcome to the game 2

>Were old games better?
Yes.
>I think there is just something “magical” about old games, like someone’s great ideas
Yes. Also someone's wish to make an adventure - and a good one, one, that player would enjoy. A whole experience. Not just some separate attractive things being put into overall bland/intentionally unattractive environment, mixed from some typical blocks almost without direction. Vision of something cool/beautiful/fun, that covers all aspects of it.
Modern games are made by people, who first and foremost try to push a propaganda, then put it into any form most people would try it while spending as less money as possible. The goal of many modern developers is not to make an adventure for the player (while maybe putting some morals into it), but to shove "our ideas are correct" first, adventure is optional. Modern videogame industry would've turned into powerpoint presentations about modern views of some minorities factory if not for the fact that players still somehow want at least some interactivity (and can't read anything longer than a twitter post).
Some modern developersgo further though - they try to "subtly" make all characters "on your side, with correct views" to look ugly and most "really bad, toxic, evil" characters to have relatively good looking faces to promote "beauty bad, ugly good" idea. Beware of such.

During the 80s/90s we experienced what it was like to go from silent movies to talking movies to color movies.

Now the video game medium is completely standardized, just like movies and books. As long as you have the budget there are no limitations.

yeah they were better. I thought that im done with video games, but it turns out that im just done with modern video games

I recently started emulating psp, ps2, ds and other older consoles, and im actually having fun now

IMO, a lot of games of GameSpy era *that has been hackd to circumvent the GameSpy ties* are good and probably still active communities (hacking such games takes skill mind you)

same story with still mentionable old games like


* Age of Empires II
* Heroes of Might and Magic III
* Kosmicheskiye Reindzheri (e.g. Space Rangers)
* i dunno, Star Control II ?
* XCOM !!!
* Interstate '76 Nitro Pack counts, I suppose

Same problem
Finished school in 2012
In 2013, I couldn't study at all; bonu spoints for me dad and me mum taunting me for not being able to learn stuff (implying i am too dumb for uni, avoiding the question I cannot sleep ater a horrble long commute without a train)

>>54341
I'm not sure I can call them "better" really… I mean, look at how much money and production values the industry has nowadays. I do subjectively tend to like them more though, mainly because of the hardware limitations forcing titles to be shorter and less bloated, often focusing on a difficult couple of hours without saving, or little saving, and overall simple 100% requirements. Nowadays my time to play is small, and when it comes I often don't have the energy, focusing on something short and sweet, simple loops where it's all about replaying the same levels until I get good enough at them to finish the whole thing in a sitting…

It's ideal for me.

this one? was it good and scary?

Machine translation is better than localization.
Besides lets be honest here, there is no way there is enough interest in this to attract proper fan translators nor enough commercial interest to justify paying proper translators.

That said I do think that using AI voices for such a project is dumb.
Subs are fine. Have a AI do the bulk of the work and have a fan translator proof read it and do QA. Makes it far less work so someone would be more likely to be willing to do it for free or very little. Plus the turnaround time would be much faster if multiple projects are the goal.

>>61902
Think again.
JP voices: very hi-pitched "nasal" sounds
ENG voices: powerful low-pitched "stomach singing", closer to Brunghilda the fat valkyrie rather than a Japanese chirping lady. As if "Dominion Tank Police" main character got a role voicing 15-year-old kids with her 20-something voice of a tank driverette.

RU dubs: Either Cuba77 or Persona99 trying to sound feminine for female VA and masculine for male VA; but never Cuba77 humming out in masculine and Persona99 chirping in feminine

Hey, that's the perfect argument to mock Collective Snout and Vissa tribute system!

You pretty much should make fun of the fact modern computers have no CD drives or floppy drives, while Windows lacks in-built comfy ways of launching PC-98 games or DOS era games as a "XX century 90's guy roleplay"

>>63131
I mean, think about it.

You should make a parody "Collective Snout" meme where some doggy with * for you-know-what hints Vissa to peddle an idea to instal a card reader into every single computer - just like there were CD drives or floppy drives back in the day.


Vissa thinks about turning their cards into DVDs instead and peddles a world of DVDs in computers "for privacy", by wrecking havoc on Steam.

Would be funny, I thinkk…

If you find that "Windows 11 is too annoying" then stick to windows, linux is much more annoying and limited unless you like to tinker. Those who say otherwise are activists. Sometimes you'll need manual intervention to not fuck your system up like this

With `20250613.12fe085f-5`, we split our firmware into several vendor-focused packages. `linux-firmware` is now an empty package depending on our default set of firmware.

Unfortunately, this coincided with upstream reorganizing the symlink layout of the NVIDIA firmware, resulting in a situation that Pacman cannot handle. When attempting to upgrade from `20250508.788aadc8-2` or earlier, you will see the following errors:

linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad103 exists in filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad104 exists in filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad106 exists in filesystem
linux-firmware-nvidia: /usr/lib/firmware/nvidia/ad107 exists in filesystem

To progress with the system upgrade, first remove `linux-firmware`, then reinstall it as part of the upgrade:

# pacman -Rdd linux-firmware
# pacman -Syu linux-firmware

>>63137
Well you're using Arch, so no wonder your system occasionally shits itself. I'd hope a beginner would use a more casual distro. I've been using PopOS for half a year and it's working pretty well out of the box. Main gripe is the out of date packages, so I plan on switching to Fedora or something for my next distro.

>>63137
try Cedega

No?

>Remember 237's Xenophobia?
Never heard of it before, sound quite niche and interesting.
>You can find and download it on itchio as xenomaker.
Can you make it browser-playable? If so, then I'm going to play it tomorrow.

>>63152
seconded

>>62321
I never played it because I don't know how to install it lmo

>>62321
There was this romhack called Pokemon Prism that got famous years ago because it was 10 years in development and Nintendo cease and desisted it right before the official release. I heard it's pretty good

Pokemon Zeta/Omicron are pretty good and have quite a bit of content.
The same developers of those also made Pokemon Insurgence which is good too.

>>62323
I think I played that.

>>61951
It's an FPS, use a fucking keyboard and mouse, you console mongoloid.

>>61958
butthurt

>>61951
I would just recommend learning to play games with keyboard especially since you are playing games on PC. I got into using a keyboard as a teenager by playing basic fps games like Half-Life 1 and slowly building up.

>>61958
time to play Microsoft Excel, thx for a reminder

You have a false dichotomy in this thread. Reaction time (what you call reflexes) always corresponds to general intelligence. In fact, reflex timing is the one way to have a cross-cultural iq level that doesn't depend on education. In other words, working on your reflexes will help your cognitive ability. Furthermore, the older you get, the more pronounced the effect is. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5608941/#:~:text=Highlights&text=Both%20simple%20and%20choice%20reaction%20time%20are%20strongly%20correlated%20with%20IQ.&text=The%20correlation%20increases%20with%20age.&text=The%20underlying%20relationships%20are%20different,is%20complex%20and%20non%2Dlinear, I'd say the great Metroid-Vania style games would keep you sharp without being board to death. Especially the main two, Super Metroid and Castlevania SOTN. WarioLand 3 is one of my favorites. That one has some great puzzle solving in it Metroid requires you to recall areas that you couldn't visit before because you lacked the power-ups. Getting one always triggers the memory of that area then you go back.
Personally I believe the best thing to stay sharp is to master different games. It could be anything, a platformer, shmup, puzzle, strategy game or whatever. Old games are very much about repetition and are short; try to overcome them without using features like save states or rewind, without worrying about finishing, just play them. Once you get really good at something, move on to a different game, And yet I specifically suggest a forgotten game called Locomotion (Kingsoft) A good mental workout, I don't think the premise is that accurate. On the surface it might seem a puzzle game is more about problem solving and cognitive skill, but there's no reason to elevate it above others.

Most games that you think are about reflexes are a combination of short-term decision making (problem solving), long-term decision making (strategy) routing (memory), and fine motor skills. I'd even argue the average arcadePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>62102
Interesting

>>62102
>master many games

Although I agree, my idea is to find a good game that give the best cognitive training with the least amount of money spent on multiply games.

>>62105
brain training on nintendo DS

>>62106
who knows


maybe ill buy a nintendo ds soon

>>63048
You're using a very outdated machine translator.

Seems to be the natural progression it just gets boring I enjoy project zomboid and larping like the world will end but that's my escapism groundhog nigga

>>63014
What are the bees about?

context: try enjoying the 'capre diem' feel

>>63048
I sometimes play 00's racing games

>>63062
whos even paying them? is it fundraising from a pissy collection of seething females and normies?

>>63106
proudly, some never-loving undiagnosed psychopath of a female now tries a rationalisation of her "i married a rich guy but i am not a golddigger" or "all men are the same - buckos" Bellshill, erm, bullshit.

>>62146
frankly, a honest wizard can mimic as an asex fella who struggled with finding his passion before realizing he's not supposed to have one to begin with.

>Turns out it's mainly due to a anti porn feminist group.
The exact same group that got rid of No Mercy.
It's called sex-negative feminism. You have to start naming the trends in feminism causing this shit.

Does it even matter anymore? They're shutting everything down using emotional blackmail.
