Oh it's super easy to emulate older handhelds on a phone. Vimm.net has a bunch of ROMs, .iso files, etc. and also links to emulators to download. I do recommend against DS emulation, melonDS is super unstable and I found it better to just hack a 3DS

Oh wait, my issue with KOTOR actually wasn't the gameplay. There was a...very noticeably missing choice in the final mission on the starting planet and it really messed with my immersion. I'll probably get back to it and just pretend I made the choice they didn't allow

Seconding the Fallouts and KOTOR. I want to like these games, I've tried so hard to get into them, but the gameplay is incredibly dated and it's hard to wrap my head around some of it when I'm used to modern games. The keyboard mapping in Fallout makes me feel insane

Rice can be microwaved, and once you can do that, there are endless meal possibilities
(One cup of rice and two cups of water, tablespoon of oil, dash of salt in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with paper towel. Nuke 10 minutes. Stir. Nuke 15 minutes at half power. Rice complete)

This is my wife's favourite game! They recently discovered that refusing to check out the research portal does not prevent Demolior from spawning, and then spent the evening forcing all their dupes to build a massive abyssalite cradle in the impact zone (after loading their oldest autosave)

As inclined as I am to have in depth discussions, I've become pretty quiet online recently because of this. There's no joy in being the only person in a room trying to understand anyone else there

that every weapon in the game may as well be hit scan. This might have been some optional upgrade I took, but I recall my character generally just accurately lobbing grenades where I pointed instead of me having to account for the physics of it. 90% of the challenge is clicking on things well.

"FPS is menus" statement is specific to hitscan. Projectile weapons can function identically to hitscan at point blank range*, but that positioning is in itself more parkour. I can't speak to counter strike, but D2 maps are trivial to traverse and engagement ranges are often so short...

FPS is, in a vacuum, menus. The main gameplay consists of placing your cursor (crosshair/reticle) over UI elements (enemies) and clicking on them, with high precision and speed. RPG elements definitely add to menu-ness of D2. It's worth noting that projectile based weapons are parkour, and the...

Exact same experience for me. I had no idea who Ilyana was and didn't expect to like her so much (I normally don't care much at all for the more magical superheroes)

Personally I tend to like in-universe, flawed or incomplete studies of magic and taxonomies of fantasy creatures (when the creatures are even of a kind where taxonomy makes sense). Also love the Craft Sequence's "the laws and contracts are what make the magic in the first place"

You might also like Freesscape! It's a band Emi Evans was in before working on the Nier soundtracks and some of the songs are very fun to sing :)
