IMO pre-shave balm before shaving cream makes a noticeable difference in irritation.

Nice post! It’s really cool that these third party tools exist around GOG!

Roll it back in please.

Looks like it’s already happening!

Yeah Goldeneye has a legit good campaign… would love to play it on PC with some modern convenience. The Perfect Dark decomp/port project is fantastic so maybe there’s hope for a Goldeneye port too regardless of what Nintendo says!

Nice post!

Fan-made big box with a Civvie quote on the back… that’s the dream as an aspiring boomer shooter dev!

I’ve been playing Nine Sols on Steam Deck this week… getting my arse kicked and it’s making me kinda sad. I used to love difficult reflex challenge games like the From Software games, etc. But last year I was destroyed by a mystery virus and it did something to my brain. I’ve been feeling a lot better for the last few months and thought maybe I’ve finally recovered enough to play some hard games so I grabbed Nine Sols and yeah, I’m not quite there. But it seems like a really cool game! Urgh!

I’ve also been playing Medal of Honor Allied Assault which I grabbed in the GOG sale. Playing through on hard has been a blast (except the snipers, fuck those guys), and the early 2000s aesthetics are really nice… didn’t realise how much I missed this style as I usually go for 90s games when I’m feeling retro.

Those backdrops are nice! I tried out a Kill Team board as a sort of rocky cliff face backdrop but it was too obviously just a board… might have a go at making something like yours!

Hell yeah square bases for Space Hulk! Always upsets me to see those minis wasted on round bases for 40k.

Thanks! Kabalite Green and Incubi Darkness… one of my new favourite colour combinations.

Thanks for saying that! After all the hours staring at this guy under the magnifier it’s hard to not just see all the mistakes haha.

A definition I saw many years ago was something like a troll tricks you into feeling a certain way or doing a specific thing. Could be positive, mostly done for humour, but the ones we hear most about in the media or whatever are the upsetting ones.

Thanks! I’m mostly recovered now anyway.

I briefly had a go with EmuDeck a while ago and everything was so fiddly that I lost interest almost immediately. RetroDECK is the champ!

My favourite game on 3DS was Monster Hunter 4U. I really loved the Majora’s Mask port too but 2ship2harkinian is probably the better way to play that now.

I love what Nightdive does but I’m a little disappointed that they are doubling down on remasters. The System Shock remake was so amazing…. I was really hoping they would remake some other crusty old imsims since we get so few new ones.

I’ve been recovering from a surgery so done nothing but play games for the last couple of weeks:

• I finished Drova. What a badass game! I want more anti-power-fantasy RPGs like this!
• I got about 30 hours into Death Stranding after being inspired by PerfectDark’s comments. Got a bit tired of it and put it down, but I would like to come back to it. I got stuck on my bad checklist grinding habit and sucked out all the fun for myself… don’t progress until everybody has 5 stars, all roads are built, etc. Don’t know why I do this.
• Played Blue Prince for 17 hours and bounced off it hard. This game wastes so much of your time for tiny payoffs. The puzzles don’t really give you any revelatory excitement because the pieces for them are so unhidden… and the ultra simplistic roguelike mechanics were such a chore!
• I got retrodeck running and wow… it’s slick! Already gathered a bunch of roms for some of my childhood games. I beat Perfect Dark (coincidence) on Gameboy Color… fun but brutally difficult, thankfully it was pretty short. Started Metal Gear Solid on Gameboy Color but put it down with intention to come back to it. Gave Terranigma a go on SNES because of nostalgia but it doesn’t really hold up compared to similar Zelda games. Last night I started .hack//INFECTION on PS2 also because of nostalgia and it’s pretty bad… very simplistic. Gonna find something else to play tonight.

Woohoo!

This game is really fun. Reminds me a bit of childhood Goldeneye/Perfect Dark battles I had with a friend to decide who was actually the best.

Yeah it’s the classic problem… quality goes down as population goes up. Never mind whatever dumb shit the company does.

It’s like a better version of Reddit in 2025, but what I really want is Ye Olde Reddit of 2010. I keep seeing comments about how Reddit turned to shit with the API changes, but IMO it’s been garbage for more than a decade. I haven’t been on Lemmy for long but so far I’ve mostly seen the same posts as on Reddit with mostly the same types of comment, just at smaller scale.

Huh… from the way people talk about gen AI coding, I figured it was much further along than this. Imagine being asked to work in that cpp dumpster fire!
