Not-Bloodborne Kart officially out on Steam and Itch at the end of the month. Between this and Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers, the Saturn/PS1 kart racer fans are eating good right now. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2930160/Nightmare_Kart/

Well it's too bad that Epic removed one of their flagship series from sale for no bloody reason. Good thing I still have them on GOG and an anthology CD... https://www.pcgamer.com/the-simple-genius-of-unreal-tournament-map-facing-worlds/

@SirTapTap Aye, good on the fans putting together patches of their own to keep playing the series online - including UT3. Even with its flaws (and most of the colours removed in its weird attempt to copy Gears of War's look) I had a lot of fun with its bigger maps and their barmy War Of The Worlds-inspired vehicles.

Holy crap. So many delightful creative works the LittleBigPlanet fans spent years stitching together... gone, just like that. How long until Sony pull the same crap with Dreams next? https://delistedgames.com/sony-confirms-that-littlebigplanet-3-servers-are-not-returning-after-january-outage-all-content-is-now-inaccessible-officially/

If you do a little digging, you can see the current manaby wailing about Warhammer's new 10ft lady Custodes is almost identical to the outrage over Chess when the Queen was buffed from moving one diagonal spot to almost any space in any one direction back in the 15th century.

I had quite a few matches of MultiVersus's first beta last year, and yeah, they went twice as fast as the new version they're showing right now. Not a good look. https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fighting/multiversus-fans-have-become-convinced-that-the-game-is-now-slower-and-they-absolutely-hate-it/

While the DOS version of Mortal Kombat 2 is good, I can’t say the same about Street Fighter 2.

It is a sad affair. I remember buying this when I was 11-years-old, preparing myself for glory, only to discover a choppy, badly-animated mess that was completely unplayable.

Back then, even if DOS games had terrible graphics, they at least were superior to consoles when it came to sound. But not Street Fighter II. Even though it was using a Soundblaster, everything sounded like garbage.

If you ever see Street Fighter II for DOS in the wild, don’t pick it up. It’s not worth it.

@atomicpoet Oh, the early days of DOS fighting games were a wild west of barely functional ports or just random crap throwing as many ideas as they could at the wall and seeing what stuck.

Unironically it was One Must Fall that got me interested in the genre before Street Fighter - mostly because unlike SF2's PC version, matches in OMF went at a pretty good pace.

This recent talk on game preservation's got me thinking about the communities reviving their favourite old games to share with the rest of us.

Warzone 2100, for example - a fine RTS from 1999 mostly known for the highly customizable tanks you slapped together from its vast tech tree. Though its devs stopped at 2000, the game was made open-source 4 years later, and it's been fine-tuned and running smoothly on modern machines since.

Valve game community is simply legendary. No one can quite meme on this level of consistency and absurdity. Only Nintendo stuff comes close

Last weekend a surprise update dropped on Flatout: Ultimate Carnage (the last one Bugbear made before they moved on to Wreckfest). No longer stuck with Games For Windows live, it's now made the jump to Steamworks and it playing nice with the Steam Deck - always nice to see older works getting salvaged from abandoned platforms. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/12360/view/4148449764353159269?l=english

Biggest Fucking Idiots last month: "These thousands of lay-offs are all them pronouns' fault!"

Biggest Fucking Idiots this week: "God dammit Among Us is woke!"

"My brain!" Haachama croaked, trying and failing to make sense of the English sentence she read. To be fair it didn't make any sense in native English either.

@SirTapTap They said the exact same thing about Sonic recently because he's blue. I swear, those spam bots screaming "NUDES IN BIO" at everyone have more original thoughts.

"What the hell, your music folder's almost 45gb in size."

Well yes, because I don't exactly trust Youtube or Spotify to hold onto my personal playlist for more than a couple of years.

TheChimpyMan,
@TheChimpyMan@mastodon.social avatar

@SirTapTap Eh, it's more down to how many of the songs and covers I've been collecting over the years have been much harder to track than expected - hardly springing in in the first page of search results. Maybe I should've phrased that better.

Oh nice, Beat Hazard 3 is expanding on its Galaxies thing. It's now easier to share your playlist-made galaxies, and they can also be played in either PvP co-op artifact grabbing or PvP territory control. Some beefy new ships to acquire from them too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gj7_ji5CD4I

Did not expect something of this size for a wee musical score-attack game.

Nice, GOG has the original FlatOut free to tag for the next few days. https://www.gog.com/en/game/flatout

Pretty fun destruction derby racer by Bugbear, who disappeared for a while after their third game Ultimate Carnage (no, they didn't do the recent crappy Flatout 3) before coming back with Wreckfest.

No, Youtube, "That game you like is trash because woke and you should hate it and I can explain in just 50 minutes" is not even halfway close to the character guide that I was actually searching for. Go sit in the corner.

Watching this Borderlands 2 co-op run, I had forgotten just how breakable that game can be. Weird things players can do between each other to zoom around like Sonic, pump-action shotguns somehow spraying like miniguns.

Oh dang. I thought NCSoft was going to set their bloodthirsty lawyers on City of Heroes Homecoming. But nope, they get an official license instead - a welcome surprise. https://www.pcgamer.com/after-five-years-ncsoft-officially-grants-a-licence-to-popular-city-of-heroes-private-server-homecoming-your-accounts-and-characters-are-safe/
