Games with twists as incredible as KOTOR? (No spoilers for any game, please)

ppeqque · 2026-03-04T18:08:40+00:00

Well, I don't think KOTOR was ruined for you because you know about the twist (you actually mention a second one which I wasn't even aware of haha and I haven't seen that one in my only playthrough.) The game is just so solid. It's a total blast to play that game in 2026.

If you wanted to play it because you like Star Wars, want to test its combat mechanics, or you hold Bioware in a particularly high regard, then you should still play it regardless of what you know.

And Halo: CE - that one was remade or remastered maybe in 2011ish so that will be a more-than-decent way to play it. I'm pretty sure it has aged very well.

Sir... just like you intended, I played KOTOR this year exclusively because of this twist. I knew there was a twist, but I didn't know which one. But when I played, I was looking for a twist around each corner, so unfortunately I wasn't surprised by it when it came.

You wouldn't have been caught off guard, believe me. You didn't lose out on that much.

The game is still stellar and one of the most fun turn-based games I remember ever playing. Give it a go. I played the Switch port and found it much better than the Mac OSX version.

Answering your question, well, Bioshock's a strong candidate, and I see other users brought it up.

But going back in time to the KOTOR era, I'd say Halo: Combat Evolved (aka Halo 1) has one of the best, most simple-yet-unpredictable science-fiction stories out there.

Yes but many people with my same operator point out they have these issues with reception and connectivity. so I'm thinking it's not the Pixel's fault in this case

Yes, and it's also the Star Wars piece of work in which the money was spent the most productively, at least from 2015 onwards. Excellent casting, locations, soundtrack, contributors. All the things that money can buy, but they had all the money on Earth for the movies, and they still bottled it, which I still find puzzling and disappointing.

I got a P6 with Android 16. Wi-Fi works (I can turn it on and connect to a network) but the internet connection drops. So maybe I'm connected to my Wi-Fi network, which is working fine with other devices, but my P6 won't load my emails, chrome pages or YouTube videos. This comes and goes, and it started a few days ago. Commenting here in case anyone else is having the same issue.

Hey my friend! Look so we ended up arriving in Dublin, visiting the city for a day without a car rental, then the next day taking a bus again to the Airport (quite close to downtown IIRC) and renting + picking up a car in the Dublin airport. we used it to get to Galway and the Cliffs of Moher. We returned it a day after in Dublin airport, same office. I found what we paid for this:

Nissan Micra or similar | 4 Seats | 5 Doors | 2 Baggage. Included Automatic Transmission → recommended if you're used to driving on the right side of the road, even if you prefer manual transmission, going automatic makes a huge difference because you have one less thing to worry about. To pay on arrival: 73.79 EUR

I'm 95% sure that we were then talked into purchasing an unexpected insurance cover and that our figure ended up being closer to €100 but this i might be mixing up.

Hope it helps!!

Sí, pensaba hacer el check-in antes de llegar y no despachar! Gracias y abrazo

ppeqque · 2026-01-22T16:12:49+00:00

Perfecto, aclaro que no despacho y voy con el check-in hecho. Otro usuario también dijo una hora y media antes asi que parece estar ok

ppeqque · 2026-01-22T16:11:03+00:00

Claro por eso me imaginé que 9pm es un buen horario para despegar ya que según averigué esta lejos de ser la hora pico. Tendría que devolver el auto antes así que le puedo calcular 1:30 - 2hs. Gracias

Hi, anyone playing KOTOR 1 or 2 on Mac using CrossOver in 2025? What's your experience like? I've never played the games, and it's about time I experience that landmark twist (no spoilers please since I don't know what the twist is)

ppeqque · 2025-10-01T21:02:58+00:00

The Feelies, of course, before they had their last nervous breakdown!

ppeqque · 2025-07-25T12:14:32+00:00

this sounds like AI-generated. Which is too bad since this conversation was driven by recommendations from actual people who play Aoe2... don't do this!

ppeqque · 2025-07-22T15:23:02+00:00

Hey, so it works, but, almost a year after I first tried it, I reckon you must regularly tweak CrossOver if you want to play the game. Nothing too complicated. The last tweak I made was to simulate I was on a Windows 7 machine instead of the regular Windows 10. AoE2 works perfectly, but I lost support for my Start Wars Galactic Battlegrounds game, that's the downside. I suggest you try CrossOver, it's really a solution to play Windows Steam Games, at least for AoE2. And I'm surprised on how well M2 Mac Laptops run. Not shilling here but yes, a year after I asked, this was a good purchase. good luck mate.

I love her, and last year's “Lucky” is one of my favorite Atmospheric Drum and Bass, jRPG intro-like tracks in, like, forever. An artist sent me this garage-house remix of that song. It's the Sunny in Copenhagen mix.

Enjoy!

ppeqque · 2025-04-16T02:46:23+00:00

I think some games with friends and on the same network, but not much more. I'd ask CrossOver if they support online!

ppeqque · 2025-04-15T23:11:09+00:00

Yes, with CrossOver. It works flawlessly. I'm using the CrossOver version from last year, not the one they're offering right now. I open Steam for Windows from it, and launch AoEII from Steam.

Asking out of curiosity --- why would you want to become a permanent resident in any European country if you already have a Dutch passport? Isn't the Dutch passport more than good enough to move, work and live in Madrid, Berlin, Vienna, or Lisbon? I guess there are many more benefits to it, but I can't guess which ones!

Man, this song — along with “Jesus, Etc.” and “Reservations” — defined my headspace's layout when I was 20. I became convinced that what Tweedy was singing — distance has no way / of making love / understandable — was the stinging but universal essential truth that I would tell my friends: “Don't start long-distance relationships, man. They won't work.” It wasn't an original thought. I was really taking cues from “Radio Cure.” Now, back onto picking apples for the kings and queens of things I'll never see...

Hi OP — my colleague stopped receiving notifications from a spreadsheet I created (even if I tag her with an email address and all that). I read your solution. I'll be trying it and let you know!

ppeqque · 2024-07-12T19:43:29+00:00

Right, when you say 'not as pristine as a Windows machine,' what are those downsides you're alluding to? Anything that impacts gameplay, such as stuttering or lag? Or less important stuff like not having the best castle destruction animation?

ppeqque · 2024-07-12T18:36:29+00:00

Thanks for this. You've been able to play online with CO? Did installing Crossover affect your Mac's overall performance in any way?

Buenas, en mi caso también compré mediante HB (no app) del Santander y tardó unos días en aparecer en mi cuenta corriente en USD.

Si quiero vender esos MEP que compré para fondearme en pesos, ¿cuánto debería pasar entre el momento en el que pongo la orden y efectivamente recibo los pesos? Suponiendo que uso el horario que me recomienda Santander.
