I see on Steam that there are other Supaplex games too, but haven't bought or tried any of them. Maybe I should..
Yes!!! That's the one!! I loved that! Have you tried it?

I have Indiana Jones on my Steam wishlist, but trying really hard to not buy new games before I have played the ones I already have. Maybe I'll try Sonic Frontiers too if it's on sale. Quite expensive on Steam at full price. Looks very different from the old Sega ones, but still kind of the same too.. have to admit I'm quite curious.

I love some old games too, but not sure they are arcade games. But still remember very well the first two games I ever played on a PC. One was called Supaplex, which I still love, even though I mostly just play level 4 over and over😅 and then one we called Tim, think maybe it was short for The Incredible Machine or something like that, but not sure, didn't really speak english back then. Haven't been able to find that game again as an adult, but would love to try it again now.

No clue, haven't played it since my Sega in the 90s. I hear a lot about this Sonic Frontiers though, but haven't tried it. Wondering if I should..

So many I haven't heard of, I'll have to look them up. Was surprisingly difficult, wasn't it? Still can't decide on my number 10, but getting close to being able to make a list of 10 potential number 10s😅

I played so much Sonic on our Sega when I was a child. Have you tried any of the newer Sonic games?

2025-04-19 01:11:36

Could you make a list of your 10 favorite games? I had a surprisingly hard time doing it, but when I was allowed to put franchises, I think I did it! Almost anyway, can't quite decide on number 10. Possibly Cyberpunk 2077, Space Engineers, Stellaris, Islands of Insight, or Surviving Mars.
Sherlock Holmes
Mass Effect
Elder Scrolls
Ratchet & Clank
Enshrouded
Satisfactory

If you are, have ever been, or know someone, who are struggling with loneliness, do you have any thoughts on what could possibly make you/them want to go out?
Could be any activity (within reason) that can be advertised as open to everyone in the local community. Examples are culinary group, philosophy café, boardgame nights, book club, science café, a group that goes for walks together.. Would love other suggestions as well.

It was so weird. Felt like I had to defend calling playing the games that I do, gaming. Never heard anyone question if playing RPGs should be called gaming before. He seemed pretty determined that only mmos and shooters are real gaming. I was so thrown I couldn't quite gather my thoughts. Have thought of a lot of things I wish I had asked or said now though😅 But has made me curious if his "definition" is common.
How have you been? Been playing anything lately?

2025-03-13 02:51:02

Was at a work dinner, and this man asked me what my hobbies were. I said (among other things) that I'm a PC gamer, and he asked "how do you define gaming?".
I was a bit thrown by this, and now I find myself wondering, are there some rules about which games you must play to be allowed to call yourself a gamer that I don't know about? And if so, which games qualify, and what do you call people that play other games on their PC? What is a gamer?

@npub12ze…hunm oh, at the risk of sounding like the strangest person on earth, I've never actually seen the muppets. I know the song though, if that helps😅 I can't be bothered with things that has ads anymore. I can accept an ad in the beginning or the end of a video or podcast if it's free, but can't be bothered if there are ads in the middle of something, or if I'm paying for it. Like when all the pocasts on Spotify suddenly got ads in them, even though I was paying for ad free. Just too annoying.

@npub12ze…hunm what is Henson stuff? Or, instead of just giving them money, we could become shareholders, and make some money too when they do😉😅
Oh, okey. I live alone, so I only ever subscribe to one streaming thing at a time. Spend most of my time at home gaming rather than watching tv, so really don't need more than one at a time. I switch rather often though, like 3 or 4 times a year. Not sure paramount is even available over here, haven't heard of anyone that has it at least.

- reply

@npub12ze…hunm no, I don't really like Star Wars, watched the two first SW movies once, or the 4th and 5th, depending on how you view that. But I think you have to have watched Star Wars as a child to like it as an adult 😅 definitely not my thing, although I gather that's a really unpopular opinion 🫣

2023-10-22 21:57:30

- reply

@npub12ze…hunm oh, had a look, none of them are on my current streaming service. Apparently Disney+ prefer Star Wars😅 I'll give it another try the next time I have it available. I'm off to bed now, so enjoy the rest of your day/evening, depending on where you live.

@npub12ze…hunm I loved the first season of Fargo, but then they lost me when the UFO appeared. I never really watched any of the Star Trek series. Started one of them once, but it was just a bit too old for me I think. Maybe it was the original one? Which Star Trek is your favorite?

2023-10-22 19:14:10

- reply

@npub12ze…hunm I think me and your wife could have had some great movie nights😅 not sure why Supernatural is different, maybe it's just that it's kind of funny without trying to be a comedy. I loved that Fargo series too until the UFO appeared out of the blue, just stopped watching then😅 quite picky about SciFi too. I love Battlestar Galactica though, even though it's a bit SciFi ish. Always something I like in any genre even though I don't like the genre in general it seems 🤔

2023-10-22 18:41:01

- reply

@npub12ze…hunm fine line between passion and obsession😂 think I'm giving up on AHS. It's very supernatural. While I do like the show 'Supernatural', the supernatural genre is not really my thing in general. Think I'm more of a psychological thriller kind of person when it comes to scary stuff.

@npub12ze…hunm I seem to go through some (rather obsessive) phases where I do a lot of one thing, then I move on to a new thing after a few years. Wonder if my gaming is a phase that will end too.

2023-10-21 21:45:33

- reply

@npub12ze…hunm I had a phase when I just wanted to learn everything, so probably read hundred something for dummies books😅 then a lot of popular science books, and few other ones too, not a lot of fiction though, but some. For a few years, I think I read one or two books a week, depending on how long they were. If I ever get a reading kick again though, I think I'll start with all the Douglas Adams books, both hitchhikers guide, and Dirk Gently

@npub12ze…hunm I had a bit of a Kubrick kick a long time ago, like probably 15 years ago, so think I watched all his movies then. Don't remember them very well anymore though, maybe I should have a Kubrick marathon again some day. Think A Clockwork Orange is the only Kubrick movie I still remember fairly well. I used to watch an insane amount of movies when I was younger, not sure how I even found the time😅 but then I became more of a series person, then more of a reader, and now more of a gamer.

- reply

@npub12ze…hunm I haven't seen any of those😅 I spend very little time in front of the TV after I took up gaming, but haven't seen the older ones either. Horror has never really been my thing I guess. Think I watched one called I Know What You Did Last Summer once, does that count? Oh, and The Shining, that's kind of a horror movie, isn't it?

2023-10-21 18:01:49

- reply

@npub12ze…hunm what are your favorite horror movies/series? Why haven't you watched AHS? I rarely watch horror actually, but so many people have suggested I watch this over the years, and I just switched to a streaming service where it's available, so thought I'd give it a try. Seems like an October thing to binge, and I have a really bad cold, so kind of stuck alone infront of the tv anyway.

2023-10-21 16:51:14

Decided to finally watch American Horror Story. Is it worth watching? What is your favorite season?

@npub12ze…hunm yes, Space Travellers Demo is 13.1GB, and Enshrouded Demo is 10.5GB. Celestial Empire Demo is 8.3GB, and a bunch at 3-7 GB. Luckily my internet is fairly fast (500/500) so didn't take too long. That would've taken forever with my old internet to install 29 demos😅

2023-10-09 23:39:54

@npub12ze…hunm some of these demos are really big. 10-13 GB, that's big for a demo, isn't it? Finished the downloads now, but where to begin.. 🤔
Well as long as the whole family enjoy gaming, a new computer sounds like a good investment. If you get any complaints, just say I approved it, and it should be fine😌😂

@npub12ze…hunm oh, I see. I only play on Steam. I got my brother's old gaming pc when he bought a new one, so it's not the newest of the new, but everything has been working fine so far. Downloaded 29 demos now, so hopefully a few will make it to my wishlist. Over half of them are simulator and management games😅 they really have a simulator for everything these days..

@npub12ze…hunm thanks, I'll have a little browse on Steam. I love Next Fest, think I tried 40 something demos the last time 😅 it's the main way I grow my wishlist on Steam, and it's important that your wishlist grow, right..? 🤭 will probably be a disaster of some sort if it becomes too short.. 😌😅

@npub12ze…hunm no, I never remember my dreams. Only remember what nightmares were about when they resemble something that has actually happened, or involves the same people that were involved in a real event, even if the event is completely different. Think maybe it triggers my ptsd. Or maybe ptsd triggers nightmares, not sure which way anymore.. until last night, it had been a while since I struggled with this though, so was kind of hoping I had moved on so to speak. But apparently not.

@npub12ze…hunm oh no, that's terrible, so sorry to hear she gets that often. I had a horrible nightmare yesterday, woke up all sweaty and shaky with an insane pulse. Only remember a small part of it, but it's enough to keep me up. Went to bed a little before midnight, even took sleeping pills, now it's 6.40 am, very tired, but I can not fall asleep. Every time I think I'm about to doze off, I get like a kick of dread, then I'm wide awake again.

No idea what the DLC is called, so can't google it either 😅 and I get oddly stressed in the subnautica games. At first, they are rather relaxing, but then they gradually turn into these scary stressful games..

@npub12ze…hunm I've been watching Battlestar Galactica, and my mind wandered a bit from there 😅 I would imagine that if AI become consious, it would be way smarter than the cylons in BG though. And worry that there would be absolutely nothing we could do about it if they decide to take over. Wondering if they would care about humans, or any animals, and I wonder what their goals would be.
