The worst kind of an Internet-herpaderp. Internet-urpo pahimmasta päästä.
Just because “when finland -> lol alcoholism”, I get that it’s a self-deprecating joke and all that, but… we could have other jokes too, maybe? :P
I don’t mind the games, let peeps have their fun.
edit: what I called “weird”, is probably better put as “…this thing, again”. I guess.
well, ofc I can only speak on my own point of view, as a finn, the fairly prominent “lol drunk” -memery in games feels a bit weird. If that was what you were asking.
So many “drinking-games”: Obenseuer, Finnish Cottage simulator, My Summer Car, Finnish Cabin Mayhem/Mökkimähinä… probably forgetting a few… and now Drunkard Simulator and Last Drop?
Self-deprecating humor and all that, but… this starts to feel a bit weird :|
about the spacebar:

if you can flash it with a firmware which supports vial, it might provide a better customization experience. edit: linky: https://get.vial.today/
got the first game/shareware on some random “bajillion games collection!” cd when I was a kid. Even if it wasn’t a full game, the amount of game the shareware episode had was staggering. Years later I came across the second part which was released as freeware. There was much rejoicement.
The game sure has it’s BS moments - like nearly impossible dragons/whatever enemies which occasionally just murder you, but dangit I like it. :3
Just got to figure out a way to “double the pixel size” so that all those crusty graphics don’t get too small on my screen, dosbox + win3.1 is nice but… could be better! :P
most people and/or critics hate witcher 3? o_O
np, it happens. :)
Elex
I truly need to give this game another go, can’t really say why I stopped playing it. But it is EuroJank all the way.
Funny tho, I noticed most of the character animations I saw in Elex are straight up the exact same they were in Gothic 3, possibly from even earlier games’ of theirs. Nothing wrong with reusing assets, but damn they’ve gotten some mileage out of them :D
I did state that I can’t remember - entirely possible we did, but it has been quite a while since we played it.
Aliens: Colonial Marines
IMO, the game is better than it’s reputation - at least in it’s current state. After the .ini tweak to fix the alien ai-typo makes it a bit better - afaik, I can’t remember if my group played it with the fix or not, we’ve played the campaign at least 3 times now.
The game’s not a masterpiece by any means, though. It is pretty enjoyable action game in COOP and fairly high difficulty. Sure, arguments could be made that any game is, but game still more fun than not. Now, would I play the game on my own, as single player? Eeeeeeeh, dunno… But if my gaming group asks to play some ACM, I’m down.
Some random points about the game summarized:
Oh, but you might finally play some of those untouched games in your library, so there’s that.
(X) to doubt.
As cool as this is, to me this just screams security issues. If scripting in PDF can run doom, it can be (and is) used for nefarious purposes. Wasn’t eg. LTT’s channel compromized because of a PDF with some nasty stuff in it?
Not really a solution for the game specifically, but there’s a spiritual-successor of sorts for it, “Golftopia”. It is a bit scifi/neon themed, but does a similar thing.
I tested the game quite a bit and found it not working, and after some digging around I found some tidbits that 64bit windows’ lack the old systems to run 16bit apps.
Kinda sounds like the installer supplied winevdm or similar with the game. Pretty nice of them, tbh.
TBH, I kinda do prefer to run the game on Win 3.1 I have installed in my dosbox (and neatly transport the whole “C:” around my systems with Dropbox sync :D), as the UI of CoTW gets kinda too small without pixel doubling/tripling - and afaik that’s one thing Wine doesn’t do.
Sidenote: BTW I have looked what the game Castle of the Winds is about. Man its from Epic. This company was such a cool company back then.
published by Epic, but not developed by them. Anyhoo, they were cool once upon a time. :)
edit: apart from nostalgia trip, I would say you don’t need Win 3.x if you already have Win98 set up in dosbox - should run all 16bit windows apps from stone age just fine as is.
Wine is kinda magical. I really like this old 16bit Windows 3.x game “Castle of The Winds” (topdown, turn based, roguelike) which doesn’t run on any 64bit windows as is (though, you CAN, with https://github.com/otya128/winevdm, but iirc it was a bit finicky).
Wine runs CoTW fine, seemingly.
same, same. Had some cheap laughs with it around the time of release - got horribly drunk, peed out of the van’s window - at obscene speeds on dirt road, died several times… good times.
But actually building the car? Yea nah, that’s some arcane arts to me, don’t know much about cars beyond the surface level.
I just started watching the video and… I do agree, but worth adressing, isn’t it? Majority of desktop computers do have nvidia gpu after all.
I do wish nvidia would get their shit together, I am dualbooting with win10 and arch (kde/wayland/nvidia), with preference on arch. But man, when their shit breaks it’s dire. My work laptop with amdgpu works so much better… but I can’t game on that system, can I x) (edit: also, shhh, SHHHHHH. games work, but I shouldn’t)
edit: done watching, as far as I can tell (caveat: I am slightly beer’d up) nvidia issues didn’t come up. Not that they’re not a thing, … are we commenting on the same video?
burn the (s)witch! /s
can’t argue what feels nice to type with. :)
didn’t take it as such, no worries. We cool? :)
And I bet the whole “'murica” stuff is quiiite a bit more prevalent.
Aaaaanyhoo, feels like these kinda drunklol games are pretty much just youtuber/streamer-bait for cheap giggles - and I do watch quite a bit of gaming content so these things are kinda inescapable. Oh well. Old man yells at cloud. :P
