    I watched Kimmel's latest, and he did a thing with Mark Hamill. It was great and all, but what sucks is no one knows him for the role that really touched me, as a teenager.

    I loved him as Luke, of course, because Star Wars was my life as a kid. I literally wore out mum & dad's trilogy tapes in The Maldives.

    But, for me, when he really made me feel like he got who he was, when he was in Wing Commander 3.

    It made me believe that gaming was ok, and that, despite what the world thought, gaming and cinema were on the same level

In the end I bought the fancier version full of DLC for £9, but that tiny price had me laughing hard for a minute.

                                                                                    Possibly some aren’t selling well, idk. It’s an unusual site. They source cheaper codes and don’t have endless copies available so sometimes they sell out.

                                                                                    Also bought Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. I played some of the smaller standalone adventure (I forget the name) and it’s a bit cute, but both fun and funny. She’s a fabulous character, chaotic girl running the game which we see bits of her DM-ing between playing, and then there’s the rock music.

                                                                                    I’m tempted by Dragon’s Dogma 2, Broken Age and Cyberpunk 2077, but I want to check them out more.

                                                                                        It wasn't perfect, but it definitely, immediately had a feeling of "oh shit. Street Fighter is back. You need to play this."

                                                                                        Given that the series hadn't had a mainline entry since 1998 (SF3 3rd Strike), Street Fighter 4 looking good and feeling good to play saved the series, and also proved complicated 2D fighters were still popular enough to justify full releases.

                                                                                        The game and it's popularity kicked off the new wave of Fighting games, and also revitalized and expanded the arcade stick controller market.

                                                                                        It was wild. It was on consoles. It was in arcades. It was online. It was a moment.

Even when ran through e.g. a QEMU/KVM virtualisation layer.

A couple of hours free, let's have some fun! What can go wrong one would say?

                                                                                              So one starts the game launcher, immediately greeted by the prompt that the launcher needs updating. Ok, that should be quick, one thinks.... A couple of minutes, clicks and confirmation dialogs later the launcher is updated! Yay let's play! Oh wait they have new EULA and that needs confirmation too, ok. Then you are probably guessing a shiny new privacy policy (one could bet AI related) click... Click... CLICK... Accept... Whatever ... One is getting impatient, one wants that game... Done! No more prompts!

                                                                                              Finally let's start that shiny game with retro graphics! One clicks the game launcher icon.... Oh game needs updating too... But it is 20+ years old... Whyyyy..... Ok click download... Wait... And wait... And wait... Game download finished and installed... One is hesitant to click the game launcher again... Is new EULA for the game next? Or privacy policy....? Or...

                                                                                              One remembers the days when he first played that game... 25 years ago... On a hardware that was a fraction of one we have today... No internet connection needed... You take a single shiny CD, you place it in CD drive, drive spins happily adding to your excitement, autostart does it's magic and the game starts in all its glory without any icons clicked, updates or distractions... Just fun and simplicity... Happy days...

                                                                                                Stupidly I decided to install Cities Skylines II again, thinking "Surely they'd fixed all the problems, in 2 years".

                                                                                                Nope. You can still build a beautiful grid of city, then suddenly it'll collapse, with zoning squares no long lining up, and roads becoming a random mess of zoning.

                                                                                                And, as usual, traffic, population, employment, etc is being fudged, along with new problems like weird fades to black after placing stuff, ghosting, etc.

                                                                                                It's an utter mess, and little surprise that Colossal Order were sacked by Paradox.

Tuli tilaisuus kokeilla Hogwarts Legacy Epic Gamesista. Haluan kokeilla pystyykö Cachyssa pelaa normaalisti, kuten Windowsilla.

                                                                                                                      1. Asensin Heroic (Epic Games).

                                                                                                                      2. Asensin HL. Piti luoda pelille oma kansio. Määritin wine > proton-cachyos.

                                                                                                                      3. Peli käynnistyy ongelmitta. Grafiikka-asetukset laitan aluksi LOWille. Pientä tahmaisuutta havaittavissa. Käynnistän koneen uudestaan.

                                                                                                                      4. Asennan Mangohud tarkistaakseni GPU%, CPU% ja FPS. Peli käynnistyy taas normaalisti. Grafiikka on bootin jälkeen hieman parempi. Ei tahmaisuutta havaittavissa. Mutta FPS voisi olla isompi. Nostetaan grafiikka MEDIUMiin. Testi kesken, päivitän tiedon myöh tästä.

                                                                                                                      5. Asennan nyt gamemoden ja testaan.

                                                                                                                      6. Testataan langattoman Xbox ohjainten yhteensopivuus Cachyn kanssa ja tunnistaako peli ohjaimet. Tätä testataan myöhemmin.
