Nah, nothing mechanical any more. I do use a Gotek floppy emulator with my DX4 100 MHz Dos PC. Don't find that floppies have any use for other systems, and I'd rather use that bay for easy-to-access storage. It allows you to use multiple installations on SD cards, and multiple OS. This thing is sort of fiddly with Windows 98. The motherboard is better for Windows XP. These cases were traditionally paired with Windows XP Media Edition, for use as media PCs in the family/living room and a TV.

I just barely remember the XP Media Edition stuff.

It came bundled with my card. Might just be the first game I play after assembly.

Is it the first time you play this game? Im jealous, I wish to forget the story and watch it again, it was this great.

Nope. Never played it. Is it a remake? I haven't really kept up with games over the years.

 

[bacchist]

That game is quite demanding at the higher settings.

Have you seen the show? Or are you going in completely blind?

 

[bacchist]

Have you seen the show? Or are you going in completely blind?

Totally blind. I've just heard about the premise. Some kind of fungus turning people into zombies. That's all I know.

I am jealous. It’s well worth the play-through to experience the game even if you play through it on Story/Easy mode. Enjoy!

I think it needs a couple of patches.

I’m starting TLOU Part 1 on PS5 after watching the show.

A lot of great improvements to the original PS3 version. Looks and feels fantastic.

I just can’t justify dropping $70 on a game I’ve already played through a few times. Maybe when it goes on sale.

Definitely a pricy game but I only played it one time when it first came out 10 years ago. And I had a $50 gift card to Best Buy to use so I figured why not!

Honestly I’m not buying it out of spite as well. I bought the original game and I pay for the highest tier of PS+ and nothing?? No discount for either already owning it or being a Premium PS+ member? I normally feel like PlayStation does a good job providing value but in this case I feel like I’m getting f***ed.

So true. Naughty Dog is so greedy here. Spending pennies to port an already developed game, mainly to encourage ppl to buy PS and asks full price for it.

That's EA games level of greediness.

Sony sets the price

Do your first playthrough on grounded difficulty

I'm far more likely to play it on easy. I'm terrible at games.

Not even trying to be an ass though, the immersion you feel in grounded difficulty is wild, especially if it's your first time playing

But yeah I feel that, that's why I never bothered with elden ring

Oh, I'm sure it's intense! I just wouldn't last any longer than I would in a real life zombie apocalypse.

Loved the difficulty of TLOU but f*** Elden Ring forever and always.
