Dawg these are just the aleph one ports but on steam, the aleph one team are even the ones who worked with bungie to get these on steam, it’s just a convenient way to install is all. Makes it easier for ‘eck players too I suppose.

>your saves are saved in steam's cloud so you can uninstall it and don't erase your progress.
On Windows, your saves are kept in the documents folder, so they won't be removed if you delete the game(s).

I don't know how it is on Mac or Linux, though.

I doubt they made that many changes to it. The current netcode was written by some college student like 15 years ago I think.

Multiplayer is damn fun but most custom maps are kinda retarded and give you everything right away. It doesn't make sense if everyone has the SPNKR right away.

That's taking it a bit far. I managed to beat Amateur and Semi-Pro but I'm really having trouble with Galactic
Everyone is suddenly so fast and though I can upgrade somewhat, the really good parts are ridiculously expensive and I keep having to repair my current parts to save money to buy better ones

Did the Dreamcast sell well in Europe? Do euros love Dreamcast? Then why didn’t they save the Dreamcast?

These games feel better to play than other fighters because of the elegant feedback and movement. The physics are by no means realistic, but the game follows its own laws of motion consistently without awkward bouts of slowness or magnetic snapping like in MK. You also have all these cool moves that are less about logically irrelevant d-pad codebreaking and more about creatively stringing several intentions together; you're still hurting your opponent whilst executing your button combo, instead of standing in place contacting aliens with the d-pad—it's just awful to watch competitive Street Fighter because all the players do is just stand around playing extremely defensively, waiting for their opponent to make a mistake and doing the occassional bluff charge to make sure the other player doesn't execute some input, whereas in competitive DoA they actually fight each other.

Dead or Alive's got a flow like nothing else, it feels so good bros, it's so much more than softcore porn even though the boobs are really nice.

anyone here starting new playthroughs of either game?

havent played in years but just started a self found d2 grail hunt last month. I play for a few hours every couple days with my shitty blizz sorc who is too weak and undergeared to farm Lvl 85 areas (stuck on hell meph trying to get gear). Luckily i have an ali baba on switch for when i cast my last blizz to kill him
how long does it take on average to complete everything 100%?

current gear - lvl 78 sorc
lore helm
+3 cold skill ammy
spirit sword
lidless wall shield (only using to get to fcr breakpoint)
chance guard gloves (25 mf)
gold wrap belt
generic +35 magic boots
4p topaz socketed armor
10 fcr ring

When I do a solo run, I usually do a melee build, like zeal or frenzy. I'll usually beat nightmare but around act 2 hell it gets a bit much and I'll be too lazy to put in the time for grinding better gear.

These days, when I do play, it's mostly tweaking or improving my 2 accounts of botted lvl 99 pvpers on B.Net. I'll sometimes duel in pubs when drunk. I've really just played D2 to death. I played it off and on for like 20+ years.

What’s a good retard friendly PVP build for someone who can’t gookclick?

>>
>>10940705

Fist Of The Heavens lol. Charge around, get in range for conviction aura to apply to them, click somewhere in their general vicinity with foh, repeat. 1-2 shots anyone who doesn't have a respectable amount of light resistance. 1 shots noobs

A 2 handed charger is not quite as braindead but it can be fun 1 shotting people

Blizz sorc is kind of like foh, just spam blizz from range and you should 1-2 shot many different enemy builds. Requires a bit more click agility, though, since you're teleporting around n shit

Just skip work every other day if you can't manage it. Also entry level jobs drain your needs slower so you've got more time to improve skills after work. Couple that with a 9-3 job and you've got plenty of time left in a day to get skills and friends.
>>10939250
Most of the sites here still work:
https://pleasantsims.com/active-sims-1-sites/
There was also a pack on /tsg/ (https://rentry.org/tsg) some time ago that had bunch of items. \odd_prude\odd_prude caused crashing for me so I got rid of that one. There's also bunch of skins that are supposed to go to a different folder but you will have to go through the folder manually. Most of it works when put in the downloads folder though.
https://www.mediafire.com/file/yorie3ou4yji8i4/Downloads.rar/file
There's also this, but you either have to download a pack and hope it contains some images and info or use google, which can be tricky since most sims 1 sites are long dead now:

Actually all of those didn't have toaster requirements when they came out.
We used to play Quake 3 with graphics cards with vertex lighting at 640x480 and still get like 30-40FPS.
Similar for all the others. They only have toaster reqs for modern toasters really.
Also, getting smooth play in UTK4 even requires maintaining 300FPS to not be jittery... so even if you could get "good framerate", it wasn't enough for great gameplay.

Every single one of those and even Quake 1 also had guides online to tweak out framerate... because you know... if they ran amazing on everyone's toaster when they came out, no one would be doing that and those sites wouldn't exist. But they did and do.

What went wrong with modern CPUs and GPUs?

>>10941704
They are way more powerful so the additional heat isn't that controversial. Lower end cards are still in a comparable range, though.

>>10942941
>Lower end cards are still in a comparable range, though.
Not really.
The lower end of the market has been pushing power limits ever upwards to the point that single slot cards have become a thing of the past along with GPUs that are sub 75W TDP that get their power from the PCI-E slot only.
Even the mid range of the GPU market has been pushing steadily ever upwards from the true mid range.
To keep it somewhat retro focused, I'll use 2007/2008 as an example with NV's Tesla (88/9xxx range).
The 8800 GT was the it just werks king in 2007 and had a TDP of only 125W, a single slot card, the entry level cards 8300/8400 25/45 & 50W cards, the 8500 GT was a mere 30W and 8600 GT/GTS were 47 & 60W.
The mid range was the 8800GT if we're being honest because the upper end of tesla was the GTS/Ultra 135/143/150 and 171W cards.

If we look at NV from say Maxwell refresh onward (GTX 9xx) the 950 has a "low power" variant, a 75W TDP card, right out the gate it's swinging higher than older generations.
The regular 950 is 90W and the 960 (this is where the midrange starts) is 120W, the TDP of the low and mid range cards are competing with the mid and high end of previous generations for TDP costs.
970/980 & Ti were 148/165/250W.
We can skip pascal and go to Turing & Ampere/Ada, these have a lot of variants but the low & mid range are pretty fucked.
70/90/130W for the 3050, x60/170 Ti/200, x70/220 Ti/290, x80/320 Ti/350 x90/Ti 350/450
Ada x50/150 this card is a myth, x60/115 LOL LMAO Ti/160/165, x70/200 Ti/285, x80/320, x90/425/450 Ti/600

I might end up doing it with the n64 as well. I bought a bunch of consoles from my youth, I think subconsciously as a coping method after I was diagnosed with cancer. Bought n64, sfc, ps2, genesis, saturn, nes, dreamcast. Later realized I don't really like the saturn, dreamcast, or n64 libraries. I think I'll only end up keeping the sfc, nes, genesis, and ps2.
