I’d say 1975 was a damned sweet spot for me. Medicine had advanced literally just enough that the life saving surgery I had at birth was a success. I had access to but was forced into the tech and comms revolution. Was right in time for the second wave of skating boarding, and got to be in on the very ground floor of snowboarding.

I honestly can’t think of a better time to have been born.

Yeah, can see that question is vague. Lots of remakes / remasters in recent years, some amazing, and some garbage. Didnt want to invest in this and be pissed off about it.

Watched a few youtube reviews and sounds like something I’d enjoy.

Start deprived w master key.

Dual scimitar, composite bow, and a buckler. Lot of focus on parry and fast bow game play.

About 2:1 dex / end, no other points in stats aside from one in str to use the weapons.

Black leather set at +6 to offset no vitality.

Basically a Link glass cannon.

Scimitars can parry in left hand, and have a fun flippy move set. Will likely add the flip ring for style, and a divine club for the catacombs.

Currently lvl 53 w 45 dex and 23 end, and just reached the Anor Lando archers.

Back to Dark Souls 1. Tried so many challenge runs over the years, I decided to just have a casual play through with my favorite build.

Is it a good port? I really enjoy turok 2 on PS4, would love to play perfect dark on something better than an N64.

Computers became fast enough about 20 years ago for everything short of gaming for the average user.

Before that, lots of effort was put into efficiency, specifically in the OS.

Now days, hardware is so fast, and storage has become so large, the only way to force people to buy new hardware is to create total bloatware and planed obsolescence.

I’m forced to use windows for work, and have been on 11 for a while now. Many basic tasks are indeed much slower.

I finally have my own home PC for the first time in decades, and this is one of the many reasons I plan on switching it to linux.

I want all that horse power going into graphics and gaming, not running a shit OS.

Suicide run, Mass Effect 2.

First time on a bike was about 15, was my brothers 500cc two stroke single cylinder thumper. Ran into a wall, lasted about 90 seconds.

At around 35 I got a kawasaki 650cc, didnt know how to ride, and had to call my brother for lessons over the cellphone to learn enough to get it home. Got very very lucky in a high side crash a few weeks later, was able to walk away bad bruised and bloodied but not broken.

Then I got smart and went to take the three day DOT class.

Bought a Chinese newstar 200cc dirt bike and actually learned to ride.

Moved on to another 650 kawasaki, then fell in love with my other brother Darrell’s Harley VRod, and am on my third, a muscle, a Nightrod, and now back on a muscle.

It’s the only platform I have to play it on, and switch doesn’t support the new space age expansion.

It did get many of the 2.0 updates, like the extended belt reader, free circuit wires, and all inserters are filters.

As far as acceptable, I love it. I’m sure I can’t build the crazy 10k science per minute monstrosities I’ve seen on youtube, but I’ve never really run into an lag issues with the bases I’ve built.

When I bought the switch I called it my $500 zelda machine.

I also have factorio now.

If a new mario, zelda, or factorio is available on switch 2, I’ll buy one.

That’s my argument, release the server code and the fans can host them.

Take your servers down, move on to your new games, but give us the tools to enjoy what we bought. It costs them nothing.

I don’t think anyone plays factorio the way it was meant to be played.

With the new belt reading mechanics, I’m trying a single sushi belt play through and have made it as far as blue science so far.

Two games I have platinumed on PS4 that I still go back and play are Subnautica and Kerbal Space Program. Not sure if you mean 100% as in like scan and collect every item, or get all the trophies, cause I don’t think I’ve ever 100% a game in that way.

I’m glad to hear this. Bought it at launch, on PS4, which I understand had some of the worst problems. Maybe one of the most disappointing games I ever got after all the htype. Gave up after maybe two hours because of all the bugs.

I now have a PS4-Pro, and keep wondering if its finally time to give this game another go.

George Carlin said it best, yes a receding hairline is annoying, but no where near as bad as an advancing hairline.

Who would want to have to shave their forehead?

No, haven’t seen it, but will check it out.

So, the first 30 minutes go like this. Find the stuff to make and craft the knife, scanner, fins, air tanks, and building tool.

You can eat kelp and make bleach>water w salt and coral to stay alive, though it’s a LOT of kelp.

Then head straight to southern island to scan the multipurpose room, indoor and outdoor grow beds, and grab lantern fruit and marble mellons.

You can then build a base and grow all the food you will ever need. I stock up on a ton of bleach and make water as needed, though the food also restores some hydration.

I usually have this done before the Aurora explodes.

Once you have the cyclops you can plant in there as well. Three lantern fruit trees per base is all the food you will need in the game, and marble melons have a lot of water.

The only thing you miss out on really is the emergency air bladder, as that requires a fish. To make up for it I carry a second air tank when diving deep or exploring wrecks. I also build outdoor grow beds w brain corals in strategic places as emergency air supplies.

Honestly, I started it as a lark, and found it so enjoyable because I never get distracted chasing down and catching fish.

It’s one of those I downloaded, played 10 minutes of, and then got distracted by something else. I’ve done a good job avoiding spoilers, I’ll check it out next.

Just finished my first permadeath vegan play through (never caught a single fish, though I admit I ran over a few hundred).

I’m not any good at deck building games, but my girlfriend is pretty close to platinuming it on PS4 and I have to say, that game just gets weirder and weirder.
