Demonoid, absolutely! Warez-bb, and many oldschool GeoCities blogs. I remember one that had portable cracks of any programs you could imagine.

Holy crap, they had to use a custom build of DSDA-Doom to mitigate lag from so many monsters. DSDA is already super efficient and can handle most absurd maps (like Nuts.wad) with no problems. This map was truly something else.

It’s not just about the tech, it’s about their mindset. They’re stuck in that era mentally.

In the modern age, we all need to be our own archivists, saving whatever we can from a perpetually burning Library of Alexandria. This is why pirates are a community, each one saves a little bit of history that matters to them, and then we share.

access to everything that isn’t bogged down by stupid licensing deals, too. so many things just disappear because someone wants someone else to keep paying for that one song they added in a single episode 15 years ago.

Japan was already living in the 2000’s back in the 80’s. The problem is that 40 years later, they’re still living and thinking in the exact same way.

I don’t know either, and I haven’t been able to use spotify_player in a while, either in my Linux or Windows machines because of that. Already ended up accidentally resetting my Spotify password 2-3 times trying to solve that.

Yes this is pretty great, these games are arguably more fun than regular Raiden but are a bit annoying to emulate.

Why is anyone susprised about this? This is the most predictable outcome.

Then again, you’d probably already have a jailbroken PS1 to play copied games, you could burn them yourself. Or emulate, it’s so easy to emulate PS1 nowadays. No need to spend money importing those copies from China.

FromSoftware, 100%. From the days of Armored Core to all the Souls games.

They’re very different racers. One is arcade racing, drifting fun perfected, the other is an incredibly fun racing career and car collecting simulator (still not an actual simulator, but physics at least resemble the real world)

I say play both GT2 and RR Type 4 and see which one you like better. Alongside Wip3out I’d say these are the absolute BEST racing games of the console.

Eh, it’s annoying but it wasn’t even a very good wad. If you want to play it, you can just download it off the internet and play it on another free sourceport.

We all need to be our own archivists in this day and age. The internet isn’t forever, it’s a constantly burning Library of Alexandria. I’m glad you found your lost media again.

I tend to not go that far back usually, mostly hovering around the mid 90’s and 2000’s with my retrogaming, but does it count if I’ve played some rounds of NES Tetris?

I’m currently reading a fantasy book from 1984 if that doesn’t count.

Isn’t this by the same guy who made Art of Rally? Either way, it’s going into my wishlist.

I have been having an absolute BLAST with this new version since yesterday. The news of this and the subseauent drop as a free update for the versions I already owned on GoG and on the Switch just made my whole week, where I was bumned by the Helldivers bullshit.

A solid new port by Nightdive, implementing most of the modern mapping techniques, able to run a LOT of custom content that was created over the past 30 years. Plus extra artworks, bonus IDKFA soubdtrack by Andrew Hulshult, addon downloads on all platforms (with user sent ones on the PC), and 16 player multiplayer?

This is now the immediate response to anyone who wants to get into Doom nowadays. No need to fiddle with sourceports or go chase obscure mods, they’re ALL there. If you get more into Doom modding after that, you can go after all those things later. It’s great!

I aspire to have enough storage to do that someday.
