I bought it blind on gog when it was on sale, visual novels aren’t my thing usually, but it did not have the anime look so I thought I gave it a try and drop it after half an hour.

Turns out it was one of the most impressive games I played these last years. What a mindfuck!

And the ending warmed my cold heart!

So I wanted to watch a review on YouTube, and what! The! Fuck! I had no idea how different (and gruesome) this game could get! Soon it’s holiday time, and it’s on my top list of things to do! Let’s see how I can fuck things up!

Nonono, that’s it!!! I totally missed the link :)

After fiddling with my original CDs back two years I gave up and installed these! Wide-screen, stable, high resolutions, perfect! I was so happy fans decided to get them running again!

A friendly reminder to everyone: there is a fan project, part 1 and 2 updated to run on modern systems. They have their own page, the full games can be downloaded from there, and they just work. Just Google the title and fan update.

Oh man, I hope so!

I prefer their games over anything Bethesda/Diablo/whatever stuff.

Their games, as clunky and weird they sometimes are, have soul and passion. I’m playing Risen 2 at the moment, and I just love the world. So much too see, every corner has something to find, even if it’s just a bottle of Rum.

It was the same for me with the guy with the hamster in Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2. He’s a favourite to everyone, to me he was just an annoying idiot.

After the last elections the EU should be terrified of Nazis. Every bit of surveillance they get through now means less work for the fuckers later if they are able to grasp power.

May I kindly remind everyone of the Jew registers? The Nazis came and all the paper work was already done, good for them.

The EU is such a fantastic idea, but with shit like this they shoot themselves regularly in the foot.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes. Feels like good old Asimov could have written it. The remake is also pretty good so far.

I lowered the difficulty, and I were able to kill bigger enemies with the weapon of my choice. But they became bullet sponges. There’s no fun in that. I too prefer 2016, I like my shotgun.

Rated PG. It can work (The old Mortal Kombat movie), but this looks like crap.

No they wouldn’t. Think of Israel! The press!

It’s Retro Man Cave! I had no idea he had a new name, no wonder I have not seen him in such a long time!

Okay, If you like older games that card should run them at 1080p with high details. I had the 6600, and it had enough power to run Cyberpunk at that resolution with high (not max) details at 50 FPS. Less demanding games reached higher frame rates, so my recommendation would be 1080p with a refresh rate of 100hz or more. Maybe 24" or 27". If you use it for office applications mainly maybe you could go 2 or even 4k. Have fun!!

My thoughts exactly. He has the skill to built a PC from scratch, and then this? I’m so curious now.

To the OP: With the graphics card it should be a 1080p or maybe 2k monitor, preferably with high refresh rates.

Edit: Wait. Is the 6700 included or not?

I was expecting at least one Thomas The Tank Engine cameo somewhere!

Well, time to get Witcher 3 installed again…

BC?

May I ask out of curiosity what led to the decision that this was a good idea?

If I search for something specific I now usually ask chatgpt and describe what I’m looking for. The results are often (not always) far better.

I don’t want to click through 50 pages of unrelated shit anymore.

That name rang a bell, I was not really sure why. I just went to my bookshelf, and one of my oldest books I actually started to collect was the novelization of the movie Total Recall (the Schwarzenegger one), written by - Piers Anthony!

I had no idea that he was pretty famous, I loved that book, but never cared about the author, time to change that! Xanth series, you say? I will definitely check that out. Thanks!

You’re absolutely right, what pisses people of is that you can’t do shit without launchers today anymore, except for gog.

The Discs are yours, regardless if it’s a license or not, they just work whatever the publisher says.

Always on, Games as a service and game launchers and all that shit is a cancer that has to be cured.

Well, they will kill the servers sooner or later, and you won’t be able to play it ever again.

Except you look for other ways, maybe you’re in luck.
