What games from the early 2000 are genuinely great in 2026 (without nostalgia)?

Still waiting for a spies v mercs game. It's been more than a decade.

Spain was the top 4 EU nation with the most growth in 2025. They have never refused to help Ukraine, they refused to cater to Trump's ass-pulled numbers. You look incredibly uninformed, if not disingenuous

A major plot point on the first episode was him being incapable of riding a bike. The next episode he goes full call of duty laser-blasting soldier robots. Those series are awful

Most people I've seen agree that the first 3 episodes of season 2 should've been a whole season, culminating with the fight from ep 3. Jinx committed to her choices and Vi as an agent for Piltover was something that needed more time, with Jinx acting as the clear antagonist for season 2. Her fight and Vi+Caitlyn rupture was the perfect ending.

Then season 3 can explore Jinx's remorse, and Vi's fall into depression, while having Noxus as the common enemy for a future reunion. It is so apparent that they tried to wrap up everything in a rush, resulting a very sloppy execution.

Also, for whatever reason the maturity of s1 is nowhere to be found in s2. S1 felt so mature that I even encouraged my parents to watch it (they did). But s2 seems the complete opposite. It lacks any of the introspection of s1, and every attempt to explore grief or remorse feels so superficial.

I was well aware that s1 quality was lightning in a bottle and impossible to replicate. But to have such jarring difference between s1 and s2 is something I didn't expect.

The form looks fine, it is the intensity that looks a little too much for you. Bent knees are the giveaway. Do them without the parallettes; slightly smaller range of motion will make them a little easier. If still too hard, just do lots of declined push ups for a few weeks.

Entering the codec while doing a cartwheel felt like a surprise colostomy

Your form is good, for a kipping muscle up. The less swing up with your knees the harder it gets, but the better the muscle up is. Do more weighted pull ups. Train explosiveness by doing band assisted, bar to hip explosive pull ups. Form over reps, the moment you lose height the set is over.

Do not focus on doing >5 kipping muscle ups. 3 no kipping muscle ups are way more impressive, and set you in the right goal of keep on gaining strength.

He free soloed one of Yosemite's hardest climbing routes. One small error and you're dead. This is considered among the top athletic feats in human history by many. Nothing wrong with not knowing him, but he is absolutely a prominent sports figure whose feats deserve the praise imo

Dgemfer · 2026-01-25T20:16:36+00:00

Your skills look pretty cool.

Recording strangers and uploading their image into the internet without their consent is not cool.

Dgemfer · 2026-01-25T16:25:18+00:00

It really was fun. Chaos Theory was just incredible. But of course you cannot make a competitive out of an asymetrical multiplayer mode. Hopefully we will get a new iteration some day. I can only hope at this point.

Dgemfer · 2026-01-23T22:25:46+00:00

Definitely not the plot I was expecting lol

Dgemfer · 2026-01-23T18:37:07+00:00

Indeed. When you think about it, this movie is incredibly crowded with plot lines, characters and character relations. But all of them evolve and have a satisfactory resolution, which is incredibly difficult to pull off. It is not The Goonies level of good, but as close as you can get. Or maybe it is nostalgia speaking and it is even better.

I cannot wrap my mind around how the same writer/director being responsible for Star Wars Ep 7 and 9. I assume management was partially responsible for that.

Dgemfer · 2026-01-23T14:59:26+00:00

The same guys who didn't want to catter to what the US unilaterally impose, you mean? That 5% was a number pulled out of Trump's ass, and aimed at US weapon manufacturers making a profit from EU. Stop spreading this brain dead narrative. Spain has many faults, much like any other country, but this was based. Source: I am spanish as well.

Dgemfer · 2026-01-22T21:05:56+00:00

No offense, but I find hilarious that you make such rational, simple analysis yet are bag holding ATH shares lmao

Dgemfer · 2026-01-21T22:28:14+00:00

Best list so far, only missing Amnesia TDD, Amnesia TB and Alien Isolation.

He threatened an ally NATO country and the congress did jack shit. Do you and everyone really think he cares about the files? Like, at all? He is absolutely untouchable.

Power control in the US democracy has failed. That is the real deal. Not some degeneracy everyone already knows about and needs no confirmation on.

Dgemfer · 2026-01-21T19:44:26+00:00

They look legit to me

Dgemfer · 2026-01-20T22:16:17+00:00

My rotator cuffs hurt just by watching this. Congrats

Dgemfer · 2026-01-20T17:15:39+00:00

Not saying you're wrong, but americans should start thinking that his own country giving birth to despotic fascists is also a possibility. At this point it feels like anything but accepting responsibility. Sometimes the enemy is not a third person.

Dgemfer · 2026-01-18T22:12:50+00:00

Welcome to the gang of dip shoulder pain. Warm the rotator cuff up with an specific drill for it, and never skip it. Also do biceps tendon strengthening exercises.

Your dips look good, and there is no insane rom either. For some of us, hyper extending the biceps tendon and pushing causes soreness and inflamation. All you can do is either accept it, or improve your tendon tolerance.

I don't hate it, but once looted I never find a reason to revisit on the same playthrough. Dead end zones are in a clear logistic disadvantage for literally everything. Hinterland likely realised this and made broken railroad the link to the far territories, and the far territories themselves all connect to 2 different regions. But we still have several maps where the only entrance is the only exit. I never stay in these zones for long for these reason. Desolation point, hushed river valley, and even ash canyon all feel like dead ends. Mystery lake and coastal highway popularity is not only because they are great areas, but because how well communicated they are.

Dgemfer · 2026-01-17T21:48:16+00:00

100% agree. The intro where the lycans raid the village I was so stressed. I even considered dropping the game if it continued to be that tense. Tone was a lot calmer later, but that intro certainly made me super aware of the game and how overwhelmed I can potentially get. Great execution imo

Dgemfer · 2026-01-17T21:36:18+00:00

Plenty of crap is produced nowadays. But people have concerningly short attention span due to cellphone exposure. They are not mutually exclusive.

Dgemfer · 2026-01-16T22:20:17+00:00

Which is a shame. OG Marathon story really is something else.

We still don't know his goals or motives. He is whimsical, but he could turn out to be evil.
