Now we just need to wait for Microsoft to ditch Windows lol

I could see them abandoning Windows as it is and instead making their own Linux distro, maybe in like the year 2100 lol

For these discussions I think it would be good to link relevant communities.

I don’t think there’s a community just for Monkey Island, but there is !adventuregames@lemm.ee

I played the first Monkey Island as a kid with my family and still love these games. Great humor, puzzles, and music. #1 is probably still my favorite, all of them are great except maybe #4 I still need to play (now that it works in ScummVM it’s a lot better with modern computers). #2 is probably the hardest game in the series. Tales of Monkey Island is maybe the easiest but still good. Return to Monkey Island was also very good.

Zelda: Minish Cap, and Castlevania are my favorites

I haven’t played many JRPGs, but I’ll say Grandia 2. I liked the way the timers worked, and the cancels. Also positioning always adds depth to combat.

Panzer Dragoon Saga was pretty cool too, with the circular movement.

here’s a good video essay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxOKEsBx4NU Ross’s Game Dungeon: Deus Ex

and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgJazjz9ZsA Deus Ex: Human Revolution is FINE, And Here’s Why

I feel the same way about the prequels, but I think the original game is the best game ever made.

I would suggest against GMDX for a first time playthrough, it changes A LOT. From the aesthetics, to the gameplay, to the sounds, the mood, the feel of the game, and the viable approaches in each level, there’s so much that’s changed it just isn’t the same game anymore.

You’re much better off with the Vanilla Fixer tool, Transcended, or Zero Rando (I’m the dev). You could also use Revision and toggle every setting to vanilla, but make sure you also disable the HDTP models, and disable Shifter and Biomod too, and definitely set the maps to vanilla.
