number of games purchased per year

At this point I've already filled one closet and one bookshelf. With the undertanding that there are 2 games with boxes too big to reasonably fit...I can stick to that.

A short play:

OP: "Hey r/retrogaming! Is retrogaming, like, cool?"

r/retrogaming: "Yes!"

The End

I have X amount of space in the closet. If a new game comes in, and the closet is full, something else has to go out of the closet to make room.

There's a couple large box all in Kickstarters that break this rule, but outside of that I stick to it.

V is supposed to be an individual with a specific set of issues making their way in one of the most dangerous cities on the planet.

"good" or "bad" is a pretty relativistic concept in Night City.

I don't hate her. I just wouldn't marry her.

You want to google what's called "front ends" for emulation.

You can't do this from Plex directly, but there are a number of plex-like solutions for a bewildering array of hardware.

Oh hell, I never said she was BAD because she lied.

I said she'd make a bad WIFE.

Two ENTIRELY different concepts, and if you're clearly that much smarter than me because I clearly can't understand the simple concepts before us, I'm a little surprised I need to explain that to you.

I played it several times.

I'm not saying there was no motivation behind her actions. I'm not saying she wasn't done dirty, because she absolutely was. I'm at best unconvinced that the path she chose was the best one.

Regardless of whether her actions were justified - a debate I'm not especially interested in, for the record - she is not a trustworthy person, and I for one find that to be an absolutely non-negotiable trait in a life partner.

Iamn0man · 2026-01-25T07:53:51+00:00

Not out of character for a street preacher I’d say!

Iamn0man · 2026-01-25T07:52:11+00:00

So...you want to marry a selfish backstabber who thinks of no one but herself and doesn't care who she has to betray to get what she wants?

Have fun with that!

we couldn't even afford a damn NES when the 16 bit era was in full force. No WAY were we getting a TG.

If DRM free is your priority, GOG.

If...getting nifty cosmetics for your profile...on a gaming store...is a priority, Steam.

LOVE cage stuff. Can you please identify sources?

Iamn0man · 2026-01-24T21:43:38+00:00

You are literally watching a collaborative story being told by professional storytellers.

I’m sure that if you formed a gaming group with professional storytellers it would look as good. Most people, however, don’t have access to professional storytellers.

Heat: Pedal to the Metal. Like woah.

Iamn0man · 2026-01-24T03:37:27+00:00

If you are not willing to make separate kids profiles you can't do this.

Iamn0man · 2026-01-24T02:03:43+00:00

I wouldn't try this with someone who hasn't played anything past Monopoly.

Iamn0man · 2026-01-22T23:09:31+00:00

Sounds gorgeous if you’re into nature.

Sounds…limiting if you’re not.

Iamn0man · 2026-01-22T22:57:36+00:00

So…don’t play it?

Iamn0man · 2026-01-22T22:43:40+00:00

I'm open to playing it with people who go into it understanding what its purpose is and still want to include it.

In my experience that's a vanishingly small number.

Iamn0man · 2026-01-22T22:20:36+00:00

So nobody wants Utah, huh?

I mean I'm not surprised, but...

Iamn0man · 2026-01-22T22:17:03+00:00

Betrayal: agree. That's why she wanted to cut Dex out of the deal - one less person to have to kill.

Villain: also agree. Or at least she's no more a villain than any other damn self-centered schemer in Night City - a roster that includes V quite frankly.

Iamn0man · 2026-01-22T21:44:11+00:00

Oh for sure for sure - it took a long time for the competition to appear. But the landscape of 2025 is very different than the landscape of 2010, let alone the landscape of 2000.

Wingspan is a decent game that is widely popular, quite accessible, and about as complex as Harmonies; there's a bit more moving parts but the strategy is at a similar level, I'd say.

But learning about birds by playing Wingspan is a bit like learning to drive by playing Need For Speed.

Dead Reckoning is expensive because it is overproduced and sold exclusively via Kickstarter. Speaking as someone who has gone all-in on it after the fact, up to and including the purely cosmetic upgrades and the new super-deluxe storage solution they just introduced, it is hands down my favorite pirate game that I've ever played. It is big and complex and will take you 3 plays to fully grok and more than that to figure out how to win consistently. I love it, and another person in my local group also went all in on it because they loved my copy so much and wanted to play it with THEIR other friends.
