  I’ve downloaded Diablo II and have started leveling a necromancer. I called him Old Mate.

  I still have a soft spot for DIII because that was my first Diablo game and I got the box as a gift from a Xmas casual job I was doing (bauble painting at Knox City lol). We we’re right outside EB games, and my manager George bought it for me as my Xmas bonus. Fond memories ahhh

  I’m loving DII, I’ve played before with my partner, but this is my solo run.

  I’ve never played Majora’s Mask, or many Zelda games at all really. I did play the DS one that was a train? Spirit train? And Breath of the Wild.

  Do you emulate it?

    I’m playing the recompiled version. People made a native PC version based on the Super Mario 64 source code leak from a few years back. It has improved framerate, widescreen support, and mods.

    One great QOL improvement it comes with is your main masks and ocarina are mapped to the D-pad and you can skip the cutscene of putting the masks on. I think in the original they had to be part of your 3 item slots.

    You can get it here, you still need a ROM file but they’re easily acquirable if you need one:

    github.com/Zelda64Recomp/Zelda64Recomp/…/v1.2.2

    There’s also recomp versions of Super Mario 64, Ocarina Of Time, Mariokart 64, and Banjo Kazooie that I know of. These recomp versions are the way to play these games now they exist.

      Is this like the ship of harkonan thing?

        Yes. Ship is OoC. I’m playing the MM version. They could be separate teams though, I think the Majora’s Mask people want to do their own recomp and put it in the same program

  Different game but also up super late playing cult of the lamb. 20 mins turns into 2 hours super easily.

    They’re like different types of getting hooked. Modern games make the gameplay loop so fluid you can just keep going. In old games you’re stuck looking for that one thing you need to do to get to progress the game

      You’ll love it, it’s great! The best of both rogue-likes and town building/pop management.

      Plus it’s made by a Melbourne dev team, Massive Monster. I feel lucky I got to meet them at pax at a few years ago lol
