Yeah seems really weird that a service with 2/3rds or more of the users than Discord is completely unknown to me or any of my fellas on the group discord when I asked them.

Can’t tell if I am falling out of touch, the service is aimed at a completely different demographic than me, or these numbers are bullshit.

Oh I see, Nash Bridges just isn’t enough of a car-racing, hispanic sidekick having, San Fran cop for you.

I’m not even mad, I’m just disappointed.

Not '96-2001?

Discounting Steam because otherwise I’d be here typing for an hour listing all the cheap games I enjoyed from there.

Lufia 2 for the SNES, which was great because it was a prequel to Lufia 1, though it took me a couple years to finally track down a copy in the pre-internet days. I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was a prequel, and there are actually massive spoilers for the 2nd game in the intro for the 1st one, so I unintentionally played them in the right order!

One more step towards the inevitable weapons-free platform that will eventually come.

A modern take on the (pre-NGE) Star Wars Galaxies style MMO, mainly the social aspects like player housing and player driven crafting system it had. We have still not seen such a deep crafting and resource system as SWG had in any game since.

While there are still private servers around in abundance, they are all too small to properly support the social aspects properly, and the dated engine really hold it back. A newer game engine and some modern QOL and UI changes is all you really need, and although the Star Wars IP would be great it would be fine with a lesser IP or fully unique setting.

There have been a few indie attempts at this but none have finished development, with the most recent one pivoting to AI and then going dark earlier this year, though to be fair indie MMO have a pretty bad track record for actually completing.
