  I think so yes, it doesn’t stray too far from the original story but adds a lot on top of it and adds a lot of post game mechanics that I haven’t encountered yet. I had never played Crystal before (but I did play Silver and I think Crystal’s story is 90% same?) and it seems really polished (haha). It just feels like a much more modern game than what I remember Silver being.

  I’m looking for a similar sort of ROM hack for Emerald since I never played gen 3 and later. I think I’ll go for Modern Emerald but I’d love to hear other suggestions.

  I have gone down the same rabbit hole lately. I’ve been playing Polished Crystal and am planning to play Modern Emerald next.

  Polished Crystal adds a ton of features and I love it. They added many Pokémon that you can all catch, it adds a lot of new moves and introduces the modern types and physical/special split which I prefer. It also seems like a lot more difficult than vanilla gen 2 with revised gym leader parties. I’d suggest playing the 9bit version which has almost a decade of new features added to the 2.2.0 version you usually find.

  I only read the first one so far. It’s alright but they’re not written by Clancy sadly.

  Like the Splinter Cell books? (At least the first one)

  So uhm, they made a mobile port of a pc/console port of a mobile port of the original pc/console games?

  They still haven’t formally announced that development on KSP2 has stopped right? They didnt even announce the studio shutdown. Yet it’s still on sale on Steam…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(not) shipping gaming PCs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Remember that prices in the US are before taxes (VAT) since they differ for each state and are calculated during checkout. I think I’d prefer to move -> buy than to buy -> move.

  So much for the “Red Dead Redemption isn’t big enough for PC” reason they gave for not porting it back in the day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Random Screenshots of my Games #7 - Battlezone 98 Redux⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, Battlezone: the Red Odyssey was one of my first true gaming moments and I loved it so much. It was my most favorite game for a very long time. It was believed for a while thar the source code got lost and it therefore wouldn’t become available as DLC for Battlezone 98 Redux, but I guess the developers either found it or remade it from scratch since DLC has been available for some time now.

  I bought Battlezone 1 some time after experiencing Red Odyssey and I was sure it had background music though. It was one of the very few boxed games I bought and remembered it had an awesome looking manual. In 1999, Battlezone II: Combat Commander was released and I don’t think it had a story but only a skirmish RTS/FPS mode. I didn’t like it that much.

  Battlezone Gold Edition (2017) has nothing to with the above series I think, and seems more like a spinoff of the 1980’s Battlezone. I’ve seen this game once before but totally forgot it existed until seeing it now. Battlezone Combat Commander (2018) is a remake of Battlezone II (1999).

  Didn’t we reach a point where EULAs are non-enforcable? Or is that just in the EU? But regardless, Valve can just ban you and good luck doing anything about it.

  Looks like a fun game. Thanks for sharing.

  Also remember Horse Armor DLC for Oblivion, released by Bethesda? Considered by many to be the catalyst of this kind of BS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$843 million lawsuit against Valve already has its own website: "The Steam Claim" accuses the biggest store in PC gaming of "overcharging" players⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, the profit is excessive, but it’s because they have a good product where the competition has not really been putting in much effort and letting Valve get away with it for so long.

  Valve’s goal isn’t to maximize profit because they don’t have shareholders that demand it. If they really wanted to maximize profits then there’s a whole lot more to squeeze out of Steam and the games they made. And yes I agree Valve can lower their cut and still make bucket loads of money, but I highly doubt that if they did reduce their cut it would actually lead to cheaper games except for a maybe a few. Because just like Valve, the devs and publishers are profit driven and why would they turn down a potentially bigger profit?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨$843 million lawsuit against Valve already has its own website: "The Steam Claim" accuses the biggest store in PC gaming of "overcharging" players⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Steam didn’t get to where it is because of market abuse but because of providing a good service, or at least a service that was better than anything else at the time by far. Valve are reaping the rewards now, but are also still providing an arguably better service than it’s competitors. It’s a bit odd that you want to punish a company just for being successful.

  Valve isn’t perfect and they’re profit driven, but they’re privately owned and the goals isn’t maximizing profit, which isn’t something you can say about most of their competitors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trackmania 20th Anniversary: Desert Update Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that the devs needed to strike a balance between the old style and making sure it fits with the current style since I think you can combine tiles from all themes in a single map.

  Also to add to this, you are disqualified from contributing code to the WINE project if you’ve seen parts of the Windows source code for this exact same reason.

  X or Wayland? I had lots of issues with Wayland and X seemed to work a lot better. I still prefer to do VR on Windows.

  Hopefully a better UI for Oblivion, with the included ability to actually remove spells.
