If you can emulate PSP games with ease, check out GTA Chinatown Wars. I just wanted to see how the game played one evening, and I ended up beating it in a couple days.
It has a drug dealing mechanic, and you have to crash cop cars to lose stars. Extremely unique and fun GTA.

You already have an insanely good library. You could probably play for the rest of the year on those games alone. In addition to what you have here, I’d recommend:
Alien Hominid Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance Burnout series Def Jam: Fight for NY Destroy All Humans 1 & 2 Devil May Cry Godfather, The GTA Vice City Stories & Liberty City Stories (NOT ON PC) GUN Hitman: Blood Money Jak & Daxter series Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest Marvel: Ultimate Alliance Marvel vs Capcom 2 Need For Speed Underground & Hot Pursuit series Onimusha: Warlords Psychonauts Ratchet & Clank Series Rayman 2 Resident Evil 4 Red Dead Revolver Sly Cooper 1 & 3 (1 & 3 are probably my favs) Shadow of the Colossus Silent Hill 2 & 3 Simpsons Hit & Run SoulCalibur II Spider-Man 2 (phenomenal free roam) Star Wars Battlefront I & II Super Monkey Ball Deluxe Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 Twisted Metal: Black
FWIW, the original PS2 versions of the GTA games that are also on PC are actually better because they removed content as licenses expired. Unless you have the downgraded PC versions - in which case, godspeed.
Even then, I usually stick with PS2 as PC doesn’t have support for the analog face buttons that the PS2 had. I don’t know if you can emulate that on Steam Deck, but if you play PS2 GTA San Andreas with an OEM controller, pressing the button harder actually does make you go faster. It’s magic, and I find it hard to play without now. 😅
I look forward to seeing how the Deck holds up with some of these titles! I’ll admit, I’ve been thinking about getting it to use as a portable PS2 myself.

Ugh, I have too much to play in my backlog already. I’ll probably pick up one game that I want to play eventually, maybe Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon.
I’ve been playing Outer Worlds, though, so I’m saving up for the 2nd one just in case it’s good. Given Avowed’s release, my hopes aren’t high. However, the first game is so perfectly average that if they can just

Because it’s so fucking impressive from a technical level.
John Kricfalusi is insane (and a groomer). He actually got fired from Ren and Stimpy for two reasons. The first being “creative differences” (read: dude, why are you putting so much sex and shock humor into this kids’ cartoon?), and the second being a failure to meet deadlines.
That failure to meet deadlines was due to the fact that he would make animators work for days on just a few frames. If it didn’t look exactly right, if one line was off about it, it got sent back and redone.
I don’t really think R&S is the funniest show, and they certainly go out of their way to make you not want to look at it, but fuck it is gorgeous from a technical standpoint.
- Comment on What is it called when you believe the U.S. political parties shouldn’t exist? 3 weeks ago:
You know, I don’t think there is a term.
So, I’ll coin it: Washingtonism.
Our first President famously advised against political parties. He also stepped down after two turns, establishing a tradition that later became part of the Constitution after FDR won his third term.
He also had slave teeth.

Free gravel is so busted compared to these. Gravel’s one of those things that you don’t need often, but someone in any town on any given day will need some.
You could undercut every single other gravel business. Even if the competitions lowers their prices dramatically, they can’t go lower than their costs. Meanwhile, you have absolutely no costs on material. Gravel monopoly.

- Comment on Anon learns a new spell 2 months ago:
Ok, this has been driving me crazy for seven movies now, and I know you’re going to roll your eyes, but hear me out: Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.
Here’s why:
Think about how quickly the entire WWWIII (Wizarding-World War III) would have ended if all of the good guys had simply armed up with good ol’ American hot lead.
Basilisk? Let’s see how tough it is when you shoot it with a .470 Nitro Express. Worried about its Medusa-gaze? Wear night vision goggles. The image is light-amplified and re-transmitted to your eyes. You aren’t looking at it–you’re looking at a picture of it.
Imagine how epic the first movie would be if Harry had put a breeching charge on the bathroom wall, flash-banged the hole, and then went in wearing NVGs and a Kevlar-weave stab-vest, carrying a SPAS-12.
And have you noticed that only Europe seems to a problem with Deatheaters? Maybe it’s because Americans have spent the last 200 years shooting deer, playing GTA: Vice City, and keeping an eye out for black helicopters over their compounds. Meanwhile, Brits have been cutting their steaks with spoons. Remember: gun-control means that Voldemort wins. God made wizards and God made muggles, but Samuel Colt made them equal.
Now I know what you’re going to say: “But a wizard could just disarm someone with a gun!” Yeah, well they can also disarm someone with a wand (as they do many times throughout the books/movies). But which is faster: saying a spell or pulling a trigger?
Avada Kedavra, meet Avtomat Kalashnikova.
Imagine Harry out in the woods, wearing his invisibility cloak, carrying a .50bmg Barrett, turning Deatheaters into pink mist, scratching a lightning bolt into his rifle stock for each kill. I don’t think Madam Pomfrey has any spells that can scrape your brains off of the trees and put you back together after something like that. Voldemort’s wand may be 13.5 inches with a Phoenix-feather core, but Harry’s would be 0.50 inches with a tungsten core. Let’s see Voldy wave his at 3,000 feet per second. Better hope you have some Essence of Dittany for that sucking chest wound.
I can see it now.…Voldemort roaring with evil laughter and boasting to Harry that he can’t be killed, since he is protected by seven Horcruxes, only to have Harry give a crooked grin, flick his cigarette butt away, and deliver what would easily be the best one-liner in the entire series:
“Well then I guess it’s a good thing my 1911 holds 7+1.”
And that is why Harry Potter should have carried a 1911.

Nice. The first time I ever played CrossCode, I was shocked at how much it felt like a Nintendo DS game. The sprites, UI, and music are so representative of the DS era. Plus, playing the game with Mouse & Keyboard controls is so reminiscent of using the stylus for games it’s ridiculous.
It looks like they’re doing the same thing with this, except it looks like a 3DS game. I’m in.

Almost anything with 6 at the end of the title feels tedious at this point.
Make a trilogy, and then follow the public’s opinion after that. If people are trashing your new games, it’s time to stop.
I guess some people will buy anything though.

- Comment on Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Platinum Edition is free to claim on Epic 2 months ago:
I’ve seen advice to turn the firewall on, but that would probably mess up any multiplayer.
Tbh I just started playing Unciv instead, which is an open-source recreation of Civ V + G&K, with a BNW mod already existing.
AFAIK, there are mods that add Civ VI rules as well. It’s been great for me because you can play it on your phone, so you can start a Marathon game with your friends and just crack out a few turns throughout the day.
