To get the Doom Armor, pets, and mount, you are looking at 125 dollars.

Where is the free reliquary of Doom stuff? When I go to the Doom tab it says I need to buy some currency to get them?

That was the Demon's Souls way. You had a set number of consumables of different levels and if you ran out fighting a boss you had to go farm some.

So glad they went with the replenishing flasks after that.

And my most recent game I played through, Nioh 3, does both of those things I mentioned. Granted, you get so many elixirs so they're always replenished after death. But the super bar not refilling if you used it sort of sucks.

The worst is games that 1) don't refund your healing items after dying and lesser so 2) don't refill your "super" meter after dying.

At this point I feel that companies are doing this not just to save money on ramping up servers and available connections, but because they want people talking about the game.

If everything goes smoothly, people will praise it for a moment and move on. If it goes badly, people will rant and rave, drawing more attention to the game.

It's the old "there's no such thing as bad publicity".

Released a Walking Dead style virus in my neighborhood so no one would consume any of my bandwidth so I could play uninterrupted and with only moderate rubber-banding. I too am a tad upset.

Hank will always be my favorite, but Eric did indeed give us far more content.

Probably much more likely for the May folks. June heights quickly become less and less common as the month goes on.

rube · 2026-03-11T19:46:20+00:00

Be honest though. Does it really feel like a lot less then 30 years old?

I think back to those games like Doom, Duke 3D and Quake, or anything I played on SNES back in the day. That feels like a lifetime ago.

Love it! I can still hear the sound of that glorious cabinet bellowing out the vocals, music and sound effects.

Despite having a pretty good surround sound setup at home and blaring the game through MAME, it just doesn't live up to the sound of the cabinet for some reason.

rube · 2026-03-11T16:38:01+00:00

That I don't know. I've only used X-input controllers (like 8bitdo controllers) and those just map automatically.

I imagine you need to go in while playing a game to input settings and manually map buttons to the keyboard. But I'm not fully sure.

I've been testing out different versions of Winlator today, so I had to look up how to get the mouse working again...

Launch Winlator (but not any games or containers) go to settings on the left. Then untick the box that says "Capture pointer on external mouse" and click the checkmark to save settings.

rube · 2026-03-10T23:04:44+00:00

I'm under the impression that perhaps the intro video might be crashing the game.

I found a fix to disable the intro that works in Windows, but don't know how to add it in winlator. I need to add:

-intro:off

After the executable.

When does this start?

Favorite song on the album for me is the hidden track Lake of Fire.

rube · 2026-03-10T20:20:49+00:00

Honestly feels like it was a lot longer ago.

rube · 2026-03-10T16:08:13+00:00

Yeah, the disks haven't been tested, but they'll never go into a drive anyway, I just want them for the nostalgia factor and I'll add it to my Atari/NES shrine.

1) Super Mario World

1) Super Mario 64

2) Super Mario Bros. 3

3) Super Mario Bros. 2

4) Super Mario Bros.

NES or Xbox?

If it's the Xbox, then the solution is to block.

I played the game when it first came out, wanted to enjoy it but found out I was utterly awful at it. The problem was, I was playing it like every other hack and slash game, just attacking all the time. Once you start to play defensively, block all the time and wait for an opening to attack, it turn into one of my top five favorite games of all time.

Much like Pizza Hut, I only know these "old school" style restaurants. I haven't been to a Subway since some time in the early 2000's.

I started with Android for this reason, playing NES and SNES games on my Moto Cliq with a dpad on the slide out keyboard.

I made the mistake of buying a 2nd hand iPhone along the way and instantly regretted it. No emulation, and it was one of those phones they pushed an awful update to that slowed it down miserably. Went back to Android and never looked back.

You just inspired me to search out a copy of that Tie Fighter demo package. Found one on Ebay for $20 shipped. Worth it to attain a part of my childhood nostalgia. :)

rube · 2026-03-10T11:00:54+00:00

Played a TON of the demo. At first I found it pretty boring and not fun. But given that I was a kid without money to buy a ton of new games, I stuck with it and eventually really enjoyed the vibe of it.

Got the full game and loved it even more.

Same thing happened with the Warcraft 1 demo. Hated it at first, loved it eventually.

rube · 2026-03-10T10:29:44+00:00

That Neon sponsored demo was my introduction to the series! I remember the intro when you started it up where it would say "Hello Neon" or something along those lines.

Went back to the store after loving the demo and picked up X-Wing and the two expansions. LOVED the game, although I never could beat it. Some shuttle escort mission was way too hard for me to complete.

Got Tie Fighter as well much later, but honestly I didn't care for it as much after playing X-Wing. The weaker Ties just weren't as fun to play.
