486 dx2/66 and a CRT monitor was the shit!

cd..

I'd bring up my XT with a 20 meg hard drive and CGA monitor, but that's probably not very Steam-related...

 

[Xanathus]

I started with MS DOS, get off my cyberlawn you whippersnappers!

 

[Kurt Russell]

I'm not old, but my first PC was a 386 (a nice, gray, Olivetti machine with a beautiful grayscale/sepia monitor)
Had that beast for some time until I inherited a Cyrix thingie from my father. Playing the Gorillas game was amazing.

 

[Maniac]

And come to talk about keyboards before. As much as I find the new ones interesting, I have done very well with my Logitech Dinovo Edge for years, even if letters has been wiped off the keys etc. I should just keep playing with that one.

Logitech really makes some sturdy shit, it's insane how long all my Logitech stuff held up.

You could easily identify the buttons to issue commands, too; they were really, really worn.

Those were the days.

Those weren't the days, I had a terrible childhood and didn't enjoy life much if at all back then. Fuck those days.

You guys suck at helpin' me find a new wallpaper. Not a single response? I'm disappointed in you all. Not even someone linking some animoo to fuck with me. 10/10 am disappointed.

That came out last year as a "Definitive Edition" from Windows 8. Microsoft thought its so awesome, that they jumped from 8.1 to 9.5 or Windows 95. Last month came the successor, Windows 10

Oh, thanks for the clear explanation. Dunno why MS would do something like that!

disgusting

;_; Not my fault I've had good taste in games since I was a kid!

Ha, I didn't know until just now that that game is sorta well-known and not just some obscure thing I played once.

It's from No Man's Sky. I think that there are higher res versions, but dunno where.

Oh wait you mean the days of good ole dial up where it would take you years to download one song, let alone a movie

You kids with your windows, when I was young, we did everything on the command line, and we liked it!

I had different autoexec.bat and config.sys ready to go to change the EMS and free memory to get games to boot. Can't say I miss those days, though I fondly remember them.

Pretty euphoric stuff!

 

[Werd]

This was the first computer i ever used



on one of those, i played Mechwarrior 2 and Jedi Knight before i even had an email address, which i made on June 11th, 1997.

i was no more than 3 using that beauty

I didn't remember what hardware the PC me and my brother had as kids was at all when there was a thread last week, but this IBM Aptiva looks very very familiar, might be it. Cool, going to have to ask my dad.

 

[Kurt Russell]

Ha, I didn't know until just now that that game is sorta well-known and not just some obscure thing I played once.

I lost countless hours to that game. Played against my sister, mostly.

Then, we had some educational stuff and demos that came on the magazines that my father used to buy.

 

[shockdude]

Ok so uPlay dropped The Crew's base price to $50 which means it's now on sale for $25. That's super tempting

Yeah, I remember me and my Dad stumbling onto it once late at night after getting something set up on the PC. We also had (still have somewhere, if they're any good) a couple disks full of assorted primitive games and it was kinda like searching for treasure as you started each one up to see what it was, with only the 8-character file name to give you any hint.

Just played some NaissanceE, a first person walking simulator/puzzler. I had my eye on it for a while when it released, and picked it up sometime ago and promptly left it in my backlog, but today I decided to try it out. It's got an amazingly creepy ambiance to it, all geometic shapes and lights.

Here's a screenshot. I've a feeling I'm meant to get to the bottom of that.

Kinda reminds me of exploring the ruins of Aperture Science in Portal 2 -- lot harder to traverse when you don't have a portal gun, though.

The way down is damn fiddly, so watch out and prepare for lots of accidental deaths

 

[zkylon]

i like the idea of a game being about the difficulty of navigating a very weird looking place, but in a way that's not platforming

so like a puzzle thing but more about finding the right path and not getting lost and all of that

kind of like miasmata

i wish miasmata was like 25% more fun to play

It's pretty cool. Might be a bit too abstract for me — I've made it decently far, but I haven't felt any substantial sense of progression, though the brutalist environments are fascinating. I find myself putting the game down for long periods of time.

 

[dex3108]

F Arkane and F Dishonored Knife of Dunwall. I still can't believe that they didn't fix respawn bug to date (if you knock out or kill everybody in one area and go out and then go back game will respawn enemies and one or more will be dead so you can say goodbye to no kill). I did whole first mission without being detected and no bodies found but then i went back in one area and triggered respawn/bug.

OS talk?
I went ME > XP > Vista > 7 > 8 > 8.1 > 10
I'm contemplating buying Type-0, but I'm not sure how much I can make back from the cards + Dota 2 skins. I was saving that money for TitS SC, but that shit is looking grim anyway.

For those wondering why fantomena is banned, I wrote him on Steam and it seems he posted something about Game of Thrones in a wrong thread. His ban is until 15.08.

Such soothing sounds. NightmareTrigger really is doing a good job with this.

 

[Backlogger]

Wow, the difficulty curve for the final boss on Wolf the Old Blood is pretty crazy. I've tried around 10 or 11 times and not sure I am even getting close. I even turned down the difficulty.

Anyone else have the same problem? Or am I just being a wuss? Its getting to the point that its not worth the hassle honestly.

It's a bit frustrating at first, but once you get a good rhythm down it's not too bad. It took me maybe 10-15 tries on the hardest difficulty. I recommend the silenced pistols + grenades for any dudes rushing you and the bolt-action sniper for the boss weakpoint.

 

[L.O.R.D]

so , after i play for 2 hour in psx emulator and i put the sitting to 800X600 @ 4:3 aspect ratio screen
closed the game and opened google and my face like

oh man , wide screen is maybe one of the best inventions in the history

Yeah, I've tried all that. My silenced pistol runs out of ammo pretty quick though so I end up rationing grenades until I eventually run out of health and die. I always thought it was silly how many health drops they give you through out the game, but now that I am on the final boss I wish there were more.

It's fairly easy with good tactics. I was struggling with it too but was able to beat it on Uber too.

Spoiler

It will attack to noise, so you have to move. One way is to always shoot from top (bolt thing, for example) and then quickly drop to low level. I let monster take care of enemies

Yep, I just end up running out of health eventually with everything going on. I get the strategy, but taking damage over time seems completely unavoidable due to all the chaos.

Not sure if this helps but: Next to stairs/wall is good spot to avoid enemy fire.

It's a shit boss design.

Spoiler

Basically, hide and let the boss take care of the enemies, always move immediately after shooting at him, stay at the top for the first half, then move downstairs for the second one

I feel kinda dumb now because

Spoiler

I think I was right at the end many times and kept getting caught up in trying to take care of zombies when I probably just needed to hit the boss 1-2 more times.

Any way, got it now guys, thanks for the tips!

I didn't see your earlier post so I don't know if you wanted something specific, but I've been using interfacelift for years now to get some random photography wallpapers.

 

[derExperte]

And that's Deadpool, very short but the unlock system motivates to play again on higher difficulty settings. Maybe I'll continue one day but see now that it doesn't support cloud saves. Argh. And too bad you can only skip a few cutscenes, strange. 7.5/10

K, next game on the backlog now is Thief 2. Let's see how this goes.

I know it's a classic but it's predecessor, although enjoyable, did love it's labyrinthine level design a bit too much =/

[Copons]

my first windows was 3.1

im so old ;_;

Win 2.11 bitches!

Actually, some kind of unremembered DOS version before that, but as for Windows, then Win 2.11 was what I got back then. Lovely days indeed!

You kids with your windows, when I was young, we did everything on the command line, and we liked it!

I still do plenty in CLI, I almost always have a terminal open, especially since at some point some hipster web developer decided it was TOO cool to switch everything back to command line probably to gain some street cred with proper programmers, who knows.

Spoiler

also fantomena banned?
