I completely forgot but apparently I joined Lemmy exactly one year ago lol

I don't know how or why, but I get absolutely atrocious stuttering while playing games on X11 that simply doesn't occur with Wayland, so X is just not an option for me.

Now I'm honestly kind of glad that I've been too lazy/depressed to figure out how to get FOLON to run on Linux. I really hope they fix all this...

I'm fully out of the loop on what's going on, but I really hope the emulator doesn't shut down, I love my PS1 emulation...

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 is my childhood game and I will always love it. I also like various other games from the NFS series, from the first one up to Carbon.

Not many newer racing games I like, but I do enjoy occasionally playing art of rally, Inertial Drift, Forza Horizon 4 and Wreckfest.

As a fellow ace, I get your frustrations, I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, WHAT? I don't use RetroArch most of the time (I find its UI rather inconvenient), but I had no idea its main developer was transphobic, can you tell me more?

Appendicitis. I described it as feeling like a Chestburster from Alien was gestating inside me and ready to chew its way out of me at any second. I needed near-lethal amounts of painkillers while awaiting surgery to not feel like I was about to die.

For comparison, I broke my foot last year and it still wasn't anywhere near as painful as appendicitis.

I'm not technically inclined at all, so the most duct tapey thing I can remember was hacking Gnome to use Nemo as my file browser instead of Gnome's default file browser once.

I dealt with that too, sadly. Thankfully there is a mod that can alleviate it. (I'd link it but it'd also reveal spoilers...)

I beat it last week. Amazing game.

Can't wait to get the DLC and play it!

 

I spent the whole day flashing the MiyooCFW firmware onto it, customizing the menus, and testing which games ran well and which didn't (and constantly trying and failing to get Doom to run on it); I think I'm pretty happy with the end results now.

 

Hey folks, I've lurked on this community for a while now but haven't really posted anything until today. Sorry if this isn't really the right place to ask questions like this, but since this is a place for old games, I felt it'd be the most appropriate one...

I've been wanting to re-live some of the games I used to play as a child, and I remember how, back in 2004-2006, there was this Spider-Man game I used to play as a kid but could never beat. Lately I've been curious if I could finally do it now.

All I remember about it were three missions:

  • The first mission was some sort of "tutorial", where you'd have to use the web ability to swing across buildings and pass through a certain amount of these glowing green spider icons to clear the level.
  • The second(?) mission was about some robbers/thieves stealing a bank's armoured car and you had to capture all of them.
  • The third(?) mission was some sort of boss fight against a powerful guy who was apparently helping the thieves. I never got past this fight, he would always grab me - when he grabbed Spider-Man, I couldn't really do anything, he's just keep holding him and grunting occasionally; there might've been a key combination to break free from his grasp, but I didn't know at the time and always assumed it was game over and that I had to restart.

I understand this is really vague, but my memories of this game are incredibly vague and I barely recall much more. I remember I played it on a computer at least. I couldn't find anything like it on Wikipedia's pages on Spider-Man games, so I'm wondering if it might've been an unofficial game or something like that?

 
 

I wanted to play Test Drive Unlimited 2 multiplayer with the TDU World mod, but since I'm not one of the lucky few who owned the game back in the day (I was still a teenager when they shut down the game) I have to pirate it. Unfortunately, the tool required to do it while working with TDUWorld, 80_PA (https://github.com/Blaukovitch/80_PA ), doesn't want to work through Wine as it crashes immediately.

It's a long shot, but has anyone here used it?
