I agree 100%! I just know that the average Joe doesn’t look at these things the same way we do. :/

I love this animation of Gabe! Thank you for sharing!

You can for sure! It’s just I wouldn’t go around recommending that to just any person because they then might get a little crazy with the freedom, brick their Steam deck install, and then try to say that the Deck is a POS.

Bad word of mouth is always a lot more damaging than spreading the good word that it’s a solid system.

Their mod managers were the ones I tried first, and then I tried MO2, and just didn’t get a feel for it so I stuck to manual modding until they revamped their own mod manager. I then tried the newer version out, and it just clicked for me.

I don’t blame you for sticking with what works now and has always worked though! :)

Hey! I don’t know when the last time you used Vortex, but is is SO much better now. They’ve even added mod collections that allow you to one click install a few to all the way to over 1000 mods (Looking at you Skyrim mod collections, Constellations and Gate to Sovngarde!) and have it ready to play as soon as it is done.

I have played Oblivion, Skyrim, and Stardew Valley with collections and not once had a collection not work! It’s crazy how good it is now!

I know some people don’t like Nexus for whatever reasons, but I give them so much credit for making modding easy enough that my friends could finally mod their games without going, “You sit here and go through pages and pages of mods? And that’s fun?” Or “That seems like too much stuff. I’d rather not mess with that…”.

I would love to hear your opinion if you do try it again! :)

Thanks for the in depth post! We definitely need more competition in the Sims-like area of indie games!

Man, this brought me back to ye olden days where forums were where it was at. Thanks for this. 🥲

You’re telling me!

I’ve had the same Wii since I was a child though, so… it does hurt my knees to know that it is a retro console these days. 🥲

I’d have to go with the PS3, 3DS, and Wii. I know that’s three, but they each have qualities that I just absolutely adore that I can’t choose!

I like to collect “hacked” retro consoles. It’s so cool to see them in action and what people were able to do with them.

You’ve got a friend in me, as the only times I have to allocate towards books is the hour commute to and from work every day, I will listen to my audiobooks that I have found or that have been recommended by wonderful people like you!

I will give the Wheel of Time and even the Licanius Trilogy a go, as I do like the epicness of LotR!

It is crazy how narrators can make or break some books though, isn’t it?!

Also, I just finished Fahrenheit 451, and the narrator had the “golden-age” of radio kinda voice and made it so much better than if I was just reading it myself!

Thank you again for taking the time out of your day to gush about something you love! 😁

I recently learned of the wheel of time series!

Can you give me some of your opinions on it? I made it to book 3 of Lord of the Rings, and just couldn’t put up with the purple writing any longer. Segments just seemed to drag on and on and on just to get through some dialogue that could’ve been said with a lot less flowery prose. It was charming at first, but I couldn’t put up with it any longer by book three, at least going back to back. I will finish it one day though! 😭

Haha! I actually listened to the audiobooks on the lead up to the release to get myself in that warm and cozy mindset for the game. Those books are like comfort food for my soul.

I also agree with the above statements. The best way I could describe it is that while the gameplay wasn’t all that spectacular, experiencing the game world was definitely a treat, and made me smile like I did the first time I opened the first Harry Potter book or played the first games that game out on PS1!

Hey, thank you for this! I don’t really understand GitHub all that much, especially when it comes to forking and hosting the repo myself!

I hate to bother, but do you have a good tutorial I can use to learn more about self hosting these types of pages? I’m sort of a “I’ve gotta see it all and do it all” type of gamer, so I’d love to be able to preserve these types of things for future replays after the game has entirely disappeared from my memory! (Why I’m currently doing this actually lol)

Again, thank you for the more updated fork! 😁

Usually when a company throws buckoos of money into advertisements, that’s where the money that could’ve been spent on a better product went. I’ve found products that were advertised so heavily, almost always have dog shit quality.

I love your cat, and GMM is awesome. :)

I especially like the part where they get away scot free, and the guy is just telling us to ignore them… maybe fire them for the conflict of interests? Ugh.

What…? Capitalism is fucking stupid too. I only believe in technocracy so… you’re trying to make… a point… or something? Anyway, as I replied to the other little butthurt fascist, I don’t care enough to keep replying so.

I don’t know. I tried to look it up and see, but all I got was this https://www.hmmsa.org/the-journey-through-nazism-to-liberation So, if that was supposed to be some gotcha moment, you might want to include your sources so that I can actually see and read whatever the hell you’re going on about. I honestly don’t care enough to keep replying to you.
