Yep. Its such a great series with such a cool, fleshed out world, its hard to find another scifi series that hits the same way.

It does everything through clever game design, nothing takes you out of the game. No cut scenes or text popping up or freezing everything while dialogue is going on. You’re just in that world.

Its just like with idealizing music eras. People remember the stand outs and forget the bad and mediocre stuff so it seems like everything was better in whatever time.

Duckduckgo has an email redirect thing where you can make temporary addresses that forward to your normal one.

SNES does have a lot of the better games in lots of great series. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Castlevania, Final Fantasy etc etc etc.

Though the cheat answer is probably PC since its been around for decades can just evolve with whatever is going on.

I do it the old school way and just use stopwatches. Especially with running, it’s easy to just go by time and record it manually.

Joplin for notes, and Rclone drastically improves any cloud services.

I’ve been saying this forever too! Boomers were the ones complaining about thier kids playing them back in the day because of the violence and demonic imagery.

In the 90s people called them "Doom-like"s. I usually just say “90s FPS games”. Which I guess could be confusing and make people think I’m talking about framerate, but eh.

I’m like that with OG Doom. Its half nostalgia and half it just being a fun game to play.

Old school FPS games. Doom, Quake, Unreal, etc. They’re just simple, cathartic stress relief.

Its tricky, because how much do I really know about people’s views who I’ve never met? Especially more famous people who might just be crafting a public image. They might be hiding aspects of thier views that are bad publicity, or just being controversial to drum up attention.

OpenMW may as well be a remake, it runs very well and updates everything for modern hardware. Thats probably the way to go if you want to play Morrowind today.

Morrowind and Oblivion both have a massive fan following but I think always get unfairly overlooked for Skyrim.

I was thinking Soul Reaver too! I think the problem is that it had a handful of mediocre sequels that made people eventually lose interest in the series. But the original game was one of the best on the PS1. I loved the whole improvised combat mechanic where you have to use anything around you in the environment that could hit the vampires’ weakneses.

I don’t know if this helps, but if you use DuckDuckGo as a default search engine in your browser, its easy to look things up on Wiktionary using !wt. And yeah, Wiktionary is awesome and very underappreciated.

Synfig might be what you’re looking for.
