Went back to try Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 for PS2 after getting into the series from the new game on Steam.

The driving is a lot more unforgiving than the new game but It started to grow on me the more I played it.

The games doing very well with new players but getting mixed reviews from longtime BF fans.

I installed Windows again on a 2nd SSD just to play the beta and honestly wasn’t impressed… undeniably an improvement over 2042, But what’s the point in settling for better then dogshit when I can still play the peak of the franchise? and play them on Linux!

If you’re willing to buy a stolen iD please just pay for a VPN.

You can pay for Mullvad by mailing them cash or buying a gift card off Amazon.

Even if you don’t want it to to be…

Currently got my Sonic Adventure playthrough on pause because I can’t for the life of me catch that stupid frog in Big’s fishing mini game!

I’ll see your Bic and raise you Zippo!

Just got my first one a while back, I bought it 2nd hand and it’s 7 years older than me and works better than any lighters I’ve borrowed off people over the years.

Replacement parts and even completely new lighter inserts still fit the original cases from the 1940s until now. And if something does break beyond you ability to repair, They got a lifetime warranty with no proof of purchase needed!

Started playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 again after being disappointed by the “remaster” which was just a THPS 3 and 4 map-pack without all the maps and a premium price tag…

Kinda did it backwards since I actually replayed THPS4 again after they announced the original single player mode wouldn’t be in 3+4 >.>

The main menu for Battlefield 3 on console is still the gold standard imo. Had atmosphere without being sacrificing usability.

Going off pure style points NFS Most Wanted 2005 always gets you in the right mood for the game, although having replayed it countless times I still fumble navigating the menus at times. So I’m aware it isn’t the most user friendly design.

Been meaning to replay the Black Ops 2 campaign since it takes place this year, but fell back into my old addiction to it’s multiplayer…

Besides that been playing The Warriors PS2 game after only having watched the movie for the first time earlier this year! If you like the melee combat in Bully you’ll probably love it.

I play on my Linux desktop or SteamDeck, upscaled to my monitors native resolution, 60fps+ patches if available/needed at all.

I mainly play PS2/3 era stuff with some earlier games now and then. I try to go out of my play what’s considered “the best” version of any given game and emulate that if possible. But ideally I’d go for the native PC port if it’s not terrible.

For me I care more about playing good games rather than trying to capture nostalgia. Most older titles I play nowadays I don’t even have any nostalgia for since it’s my first time playing a lot them.

Also I’ll play Remasters if they’re overall considered good and don’t take anything away from the original game, But I’ve been burned on bad remasters more times than not.

I should seek them out next time I’m in London.

Only arcade I had growing up in the North was at the back of a casino. I put all my Nans slot winnings into Fast and Furious or Time Crisis.

The house always finds a way to win…

I sadly didn’t play much LCS back then (despite loving GTA 3) but VCS was my PSPs main game when I was in high school.

If you’re a fan of the 3D era Grand Theft Auto games but never played the Stories games, do yourself a favour.

They’re also playable on PS2 but both versions have trade offs even if you’re emulating.

The PSP versions are a lot smoother to emulate and can be modded to support the right analog stick and 60fps but the render distance is a lot worse.

The PS2 versions doesn’t seem to emulate as well can keep a stable 30fps but the 60fps patch available on PCSX2 just makes my fps drop below 30 more times than not. even after overclocking the EE Cycle Rate. like suggested.

PS2 version of LCS in particular also has some heavy handed colour filtering which some people say fits the “vibe” better. But I never liked it.

Wait but if it’s 1997 I wasn’t even born ye…vanishes from existence

Just gonna say if you’re not happy with the level of customization out of the box for Firefox. You should look into CSS tweaks. Lets you change up a lot about the browser without having to completely switch.

Most CSS tweaks also work on forks as well. I’m personally running LibreWolf + Lepton.

Edit: Should also include to this list of them https://github.com/topics/firefox-tweaks

You can backup your .mozilla file from your home to a new install and it’ll keep the everything how it was.

I’ve done it a few times now.

Now the real question is.

Can I emulate WiiU games on my Desktop PC while using the Steamdeck as the pad/2nd screen?

All the other browsers have integrated AI, so removing it makes little sense.

To quote mine and probably most peoples mothers ‘If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you?’

MC3 works great in PCSX2 on Deck.

There’s also Midnight Club L.A. Remix for the PSP which I recently 100%'d through PPSSPP. It’s closer gameplay wise to MC3 than the full console version of Los Angeles.

Sadly Midnight Club Los Angeles still kinda sucks to emulate at the moment. but someone is working on a re-compilation of the game for PC. But seems like that going to take a while even if things go well…

Are you using any CSS tweaks? I just had a similar issue using Lepton. But rather than moving my menu buttons it just made them vanish all together…
