This was back in the '09-'11. After that I got bored of it and started playing everything I could lay my hands on: Aion, Vindictus, CoD MW1, Battlefields, WoW, Cabal, Guild Wars 2 which worked quite a bit as replacement and these last years Starcraft 2, Dota2, LOL, TESO and BDO that of course I already dropped because I can't stand the boredom after some days of playing them.
I tried many times to go back to those games that made me forget the real world back in the day but it never felt the same.
The only thing aside from memories of those days are the music I used to listen while I was playing that brings back a weird of feeling of both happiness and grief. I think the grief comes from the knowledge that I will hardly ever experience something like that again.

I have been playing vid related as of late, which is a video game of great interest to me since I had played the original Alpha Demo when it first released a long time ago. Flare (Free/Libre Action Roleplaying Engine) has come a long way, and I think it has truly captured the very comfy yet action-packed feeling that Diablo II originally gave me. (Incidentally I only came across it because I wanted an offline Diablo II clone ARPG to play, as Diablo II was too much trouble to set up on modern systems while Diablo III and Path of Exile required steady internet connection as well as higher graphical requirements; Flare in comparison was extremely easy to set up, runs smoothly, and isn't graphically demanding at all.)
Ultimately, the fact that since Flare is an engine means more free mods are bound to get released over time, meaning more free games on a fantastic and functional base. The best things in life truly are free as in free beer, and free as in freedom (Flare is open-source, so a very nice bonus).
Flare: Empyrean Campaign (a completely free and polished game made by the Flare team themselves since Flare on its own is just a base engine):

Really, just watch the video and see the difference, it's utterly mind-boggling stuff (simply a better resolution was enough to win me over). Keep in mind that while the video itself is a bit outdated, Daggerfall on Unity is now playable to the end and offers much more content.
All of this, also free and sets up very well between platforms while running smoothly. Obviously fancier graphical effects and certain mods require a more capable machine, potentially causing crashes and whatnot. The classic styles and mechanics remain timeless as they are brilliant though, always.

Speaking of The Elder Scrolls, to follow up on my earlier post
>>865 I spent some time today reinstalling and reconfiguring DOSBox in order to play the first game of the series, Arena, in a satisfactory manner.
Herein are my notes for other people's benefit and to archive, because hopefully Google's botnet can read this and save someone else some of the frustration I had experienced recently. Video related (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqCW6MrfjMw) is what helped refresh me on DOSBox the most, but basically you will need:
a. DOSBox as obtained from either your distro's repository (for reference I am using Debian Stretch at the time of this post
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/dosbox) or manually from
https://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1b. A copy of The Elder Scrolls: Arena, probably the free one from Bethesda directly (which is what I personally used) as linked here
https://elderscrolls.bethesda.net/en/arenac. Basic knowledge of how to use and navigate computer terminals (also known as a console) with simple commands such as knowing where your home directory is, changing directories, and unzipping .zip files. That's literally it, I don't even know why anyone would want to use GNU/Linux if they're afraid to use a terminal but I digress.
>Part I: Extracting The Elder Scrolls: Arena Game FilesDownloaded free copies of TES: Arena from Bethesda come as "Arena106Setup.zip". Create a new folder (make sure the name has less than 8 characters, I'll tell you why later) and unzip the file into the new folder, resulting in a "Arena106.exe" file.
This is where I was stuck, since obviously in a GNU/Linux system you will not able to readily execute .exe files without messing around with Wine and other convoluted software.
The simplest solution then, was actually just installing and utilizing handy old rar by Eugene Roshal. Yes, the very same *non-free* rar where you must register it after 40 days of use. (Debian Stretch:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/rar).
Install it and cd (change directory) to the new folder that Arena106.exe is located in, and "unzip" the .exe file like any other .zip file since it actually happens to be nothing more than a self-extracting .zip file archived as a .exe to inconvenience and piss GUN/Linux users off. What I mean by this is nothing more than inputting:
>rar e arena106.exeIn the terminal to extract the .exe file.
Viola! You now have the The Elder Scrolls: Arena game data files in one folder, meaning now all you have to do is set DOSBox to mount in that directory and run "arena" from there.
No.871
>>870>Part II: Setting DOSBox to Run The Elder Scrolls: ArenaThis is where the video embedded earlier helps the most, because what you are basically doing after installing and launching DOSBox is going to your /home/[username] folder, into the .dosbox HIDDEN folder (reveal by pressing Ctrl + H) and then editing the dosbox-0.74.conf configuration file.
Open the dosbox-0.74.conf file with a text editor of your choosing, and at the end there should be a section where it reads:
>[autoexec]># Lines in this section will be run at startup.># You can put your MOUNT lines here.You want DOSBox to auto-mount The Elder Scrolls: Arena directly, so write to appear as follows:
>[autoexec]># Lines in this section will be run at startup.># You can put your MOUNT lines here.>mount C /home/[username]/[that folder you made earlier with less than 8 characters, because DOSBox is picky]>C:>arenaAnd that's all there is to it – the next time you launch DOSBox, it should automatically mount the game if the file path was correct, and then afterwards run the game itself.
While you still have the dosbox-0.74.conf file open by the way, you might want to change the value of "cycles=auto" to "cycles=max" because otherwise by default, the game would run unplayably slow.
I hope this little guide helps, with the main takeaway being that you can use rar to extract that one old .exe file specifically (not all .exe files!) and get the game data files needed to actually play the game, no matter how much time you spend reconfiguring DOSBox.
No.872
>>871As a final note, here is an even shorter guide that outlines the commands I inputted from my .bash_history file to those already familiar with how these things work, but were just stuck like I was:
>sudo apt-get install dosbox>unzip Arena106Setup.zip>sudo apt-get install rar>rar e Arena106.exe>cd /home/[username]/.dosbox>vim dosbox-0.74.conf>edited "cycles=auto" to "cycles=max" for playable speed>added at the end: "mount C /home/[username]/[Arena106 folder]">added at the end in the next line: "C:">added at the end in the next line: "arena"Save file, quit, and run dosbox. It should automatically run TES:Arena if you've properly pathed the extracted game data files to DOSBox and have it auto-mounted (otherwise you have to mount it manually). Happy gaming.
Oh, and now is also probably a good time that they're also developing TES:Arena on a new engine, now known as the OpenTESArena Project. Link:
https://github.com/afritz1/OpenTESArenaFor Daggerfall on DOSBox in GNU/Linux (or any other more complex game, really), that's a different can of worms. You can try to follow the instructions on this article
http://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/elder-scrolls-ii-daggerfall-guide.1559/ or again, use the superior and more vastly more convenient Unity engine project
http://www.dfworkshop.net/Those in Windows should just stick to

There were days when one went to a video game store, and they had to make careful decisions regarding what game they could purchase that day. Tonight, I spent more time mass downloading various video games (even those I didn't even like) to play for about 5 minutes each before deleting them just because I could. Wasteful, but what a rush! All thanks to this PlayStation Portable emulator, PPSSPP, and while I really do hate sounding like a shill (even though it's free and open-source software) it is just such a beautiful emulator that made it all work flawlessly every single time.
The GUI itself is so polished that it looks like an official console, and it installed, runs, and plays games smoothly the first time. The games can even be enhanced to HD alongside other features, I mean it doesn't just run smoothly – it gives you more than what you expected! Switch the analog controls to the arrow keys, and BAM you don't even need a controller when it comes to the PSP, it's just brilliant through and through. Think of all those nostalgic PSP titles, and now imagine revisiting them in High-Definition without spending a dime!
I've got my core games now to play for a while, but as someone who regularly comes across so many errors and problems when it comes to GOOD video game emulation, this was simply a gem I couldn't help but share, my fellow lizards.

You definitely play the game because you like watching numbers go up a lot more than you do for any other reason, and that's what makes the Hayabusa a good player truck. It has good defences, decent speed and the best cargo*speed value in its class but is also very expensive compared to the competition. This makes it better at generating gross profit but not as good at net profit. So while on an individual level (player) it makes good revenue on spent time and money, on a large scale, it takes longer to pay itself off. That means you're better off using another race's trucks for your AI trade fleet because that is a business venture where you're looking for a net profit, so being able to repay the losses incurred in purchasing ships quickly and thus generate that net profit is more important than the gross profitability of individual trade vessels.

>When playing did you ever find the second screen to be distracting, or is that concern all in my head?No. Actually if the game utilizes it well enough it makes you wish more games had the second screen. It can range from things like New Super Mario bros where the second screen is just used as a progress bar and to store an item, or Yoshi's Island ds where both screens can be used for gameplay. Sometimes it isn't used spectacularly, like in Bowser's Inside Story (still a good game and both screens are utilized better outside of battles where you switch between protags), but I find it rarely gets distracting.

>>1508Is Mii Plaza and StreetPass required when using the 2ds/3ds, or can you completely opt out of them? I wouldn't want to buy a game system that has mandatory social media shit installed.
No.1536
>>1534It's on there but it doesn't do anything if you don't do anything with it. Also you can turn it off. I don't think that it works the same way as a social media though, but I never used it. The most that happened is that someone would drive by my house while I had my 3ds on and it prompted me to use their Mariokart data for a game or something. It's pretty impersonal, and I don't think it effects enjoyment at all. If anything, it's an interesting diversion when someone's carrying their 3ds on them and you exchange Streetpass data without even talking, since it's so rare if you don't go out. But like I said I never went out of my way to use it so there may be some features that are more annoying.

>>1536>prompted me to use their Mariokart data>I don't think it effects enjoyment at allHonestly, with me, something like this would make me want to throw my game system in the garbage. I just want a game system that lets me play games in isolation, not one that connects me with random normalfags against my will.
>interesting diversion I don't get why those idiot japs at nintendo didn't give people the option of completely disabling streetpass and spotpass. Or even better, make all this social media bloatware downloadable for free from a nintendo website for the morons that want it.
This is exactly the kind of crap that sours me on modern electronics. It's like I have to spend at least 15 minuets going through a device disabling feedback and networking options in order to get some privacy from a device.

>>1538Well, the good news is you can turn it off under the settings.

>>1539From my understanding you can't turn it off, you can only disable streetpass game by game. The things stays on until you disable wireless communication.
It seems like such a sketchy feature to me. That if you leave it on you'll unknowingly transfer game data back and forth to random strangers. At least with smartphones your data goes directly to google.
