Game is okay I guess.

Set your device language to Roman. Should fix it, I think.

I love using CRT shaders on a game by game basis. As others commented, if it’s more detailed artwork, I’ll flip it on. Other times I don’t like how it looks with some classic games.

The only mod I do want is a way to replicate, on a modern monitor, the feeling of turning it off and putting your arm against the screen to get that sweet sweet static discharge that only CRTs could give you.

Edit: Removed my joke at the end of my original comment.

Hold on just a darn tootin’ minute here. That there’s robot speak, ain’t it? We don’t take too kindly to robots, fella. Are you a robot, or ain’t you? We’ll defederate you mercifully.

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Yeah this is spam. See ya!

Remember when all three of these companies used to be great 20 years ago? Such a shame how far they’ve fallen.

I’m playing Beyond Good & Evil on GameCube for the first time, and this game is an absolute gem. Makes me miss how great Ubisoft used to be. They started turning into hostile trash somewhere around ten years ago.

Good point. Perhaps we also put up a cautionary sign that reads, “Warning: Crushed glass below. Do not dig. No corpses buried at this site.”

Let’s table that for a second and circle back to it. Help me understand why you hate me for writing that. What can I do to help? Consider that our goal is to maximise our efficiency by staying in our lanes, escalating where required, and providing all necessary language to our partners for transparency’s sake.

LOL I’m really sorry to do that to you bud but it’s fun to laugh at the way we have to talk in corporate world

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

You’re welcome, Chocoboo.

Okay that was a bad joke but I tried.

It's interoperable, baby. It's how we get to "done" by energising ourselves, being more agile, adapting to new models, and advocating on behalf of--

Okay, I can't do anymore I'm repulsed.

[–] CatZoomies@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Agile and synergize aligned itself into this chat.

Hey Everyone!

You probably saw my post a few weeks back where I am giving away some Steam codes for a bunch of games: https://lemmy.world/post/18183898

I've been really tied up handling some personal things so I have not been able to start drawing codes on Sep 1st like I planned. However, everything's good on my side, so I'll start drawing winners now!

While all the details are in the original post linked above, here's the main bullet points people will care about:

  • If you are a winner, I will @ mention you in the comments to the original post.
  • I will also send you a Direct Message
  • You will have 48 hours to claim.
  • I also ask that you confirm back to me that you were successful, and it would be great if you post a comment saying you claimed it for transparency. (Optional of course, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do.)
  • If the winner does not get back to me with a reasonable 48 hours, I will redraw.
  • I will continue redrawing until game codes are exhausted and all codes have been claimed.

All winners will be notified on the original post, not this post.

Therefore, go here: https://lemmy.world/post/18183898

I will also edit the original post with updates so that everyone can keep track of the winners and codes.

For the upcoming winter holiday, I might check and see if any people out there want to collaborate on donating a bunch of keys and then we do a massive games giveaway. People have been messaging me periodically about something like this, and I think it'd be cool to organize. Might have to work it out with the Admins of Lemmy.World, but let's see.

Good luck to the winners, and again, very sorry that I wasn't able to start drawing the winners until slightly over a week later!

Hey PC Master Race community! And hi anyone else that stumbles upon this post and is not a member of the PCMR community!

Summer is almost over, and it has been an interesting year for sure. I previously did a giveaway for last Winter Holiday 2023, and decided I should do another giveaway! Basically because we here in Lemmy are still alive and kicking, and I want to do something nice for a few lucky gamers.
