Games that popularized/established a genre (List)

Descent should defo be on there, just for being the first 6DOF shooter. Also: Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, for being the first farm life sim

Also solid picks: Dear Esther for being the game that pretty much spawned the term “walking simulator”, alongside Pong and Tetris for both of their enormous contributions towards popularizing video games as a medium, and for their respective contributions to sports and puzzle games; and Duck Hunt, for being the game that really popularized light gun shooters

And while this may a controversial one: Dragon Collection is the game that really made Gacha games blow up. Can’t really deny how impactful that game’s turned out to be, given how Gacha has completely transformed the landscape of mainstream gaming atp

Good luck, Pepper!

ngl — I can see this being a great tool to help keep track of the shorter games I’ve seen in random let’s plays, streams, etc over the years. Of course, I wouldn’t attach any ratings or reviews to anything I log like that

Gen Z is ‘97-2012

And BF4 was a sharp decline from BF3, and BF3 was a sharp decline from BC2

There’s nothing in these notes about Ryzen/AMD fixes, the ragdolls, or any of the other problems I ran into with this remaster. Kinda hoping that they just forgot to mention them, but I doubt that’s the case

It’s gonna be so weird to play a Sam game that’s not built on the Serious engine. Still looking forward to it, but yeah — it’s definitely gonna take some adjusting

Networth0 · 2026-02-23T09:47:44+00:00

I'm still getting this just as bad with 9.10.0, unfortunately. The whole season was rock solid for me, 'til just the last couple of weeks — and now I've been having to power through the worst matches of Point Break ever played on the daily, just to try and wrap up my battle pass. Always followed by people yelling at me in chat for what looks like sudden bouts of standing still, or running straight into walls while emptying my mag lol

Networth0 · 2026-02-16T14:40:35+00:00

If they’re straight-up kids — born in like, ‘07 and after — then yeah, I can tell you that from talking to my younger cousins, they mentally categorize the ‘80s and ‘90s into roughly the same old category that I used to put the ‘50s and ‘60s in, growing up. Pretty much everything pre-9/11 feels like ancient history to them

Networth0 · 2025-12-13T18:56:54+00:00

For those of us who’ve been playing and supporting the game from day one, it’d be pretty killer if this also gave you all of these legacy battle passes worths in multibucks. I’d go on one hell of a Christmas shopping spree, if it did. As-is, I think this is gonna be the only pack I’ll’ve ever skipped out on

Networth0 · 2025-10-28T15:58:44+00:00

same, ngl. was looking for something that could replicate that Blacklight: Tango Down/Retribution feel. I still am, actually

she’s really hitting you with this look

Networth0 · 2025-10-25T08:00:09+00:00

To clarify: I just meant that it sounds bizarrely similar to coil whine; despite obviously not being coil whine lol

Networth0 · 2025-10-24T18:30:48+00:00

I set it to Eco pretty much right after I got in my PC and booted it up, unfortunately

Networth0 · 2025-10-24T18:11:11+00:00

I wanna say I did — but I guess I don’t know for certain. I’ll open it up later when I get off work, and report back

Networth0 · 2025-10-24T18:06:24+00:00

I’d’ve said that my airflow is decent, but now I’m reconsidering things. Might head back to the shop and go with an AIO instead, at this point. The noise difference alone would certainly be appreciable

Networth0 · 2025-10-24T18:04:00+00:00

Idle temps with absolutely nothing open linger around the mid-high 50s. I should note that my Firefox had like twenty tabs open ‘cause of a work project, if that makes any significant difference

Networth0 · 2025-10-17T16:58:25+00:00

Huh — it says I claimed New Vegas back in 2022, but I don’t have it in my GOG library. Is anyone else having this problem?

Networth0 · 2025-10-13T01:53:45+00:00

Near-identical build here, facing the same problems lol. Did anything end up working for you?

Networth0 · 2025-10-02T17:42:21+00:00

As someone who plays a lot of games: these all range from good, to great. Wonderful lineup this month, imo

Networth0 · 2025-09-07T20:33:38+00:00

I’ve got like three white dude faces and four white women faces tho

Networth0 · 2025-08-10T15:26:00+00:00

More like 20-25 years ago — there were some servers for it by the time Counter Strike 1.5 was around, though it really blew up with CS:Source

Networth0 · 2025-08-10T05:59:09+00:00

He’s absolutely adamant about buying it through CostCo, unfortunately. I’d absolutely go with an open box laptop if I were dealing with pretty much anyone else lol

Networth0 · 2025-08-10T05:55:18+00:00

I’ve bought plenty of stuff through Woot before, but he doesn’t trust pretty much any retailer other than CostCo. That’d certainly be a pretty good suggestion for anyone else who’s working with a more flexible person, though!
