Doom 2 came out less than a year after Doom.

Thanks for this.

I guess I never thought about “hung” but that makes sense. I default to “frozen” anyway. Sanity check and pow-wow for sure would be better to replace.

Isn’t “dummy” originally talking about, well, a dummy? Like a crash test dummy? And then the negative connotation is applying that to a person? It seems like dummy is used properly in the context here?

“Native” seems a bit far reaching. Native doesn’t have an intrinsic negative connotation, but I guess it is used to be negative or exclusionary.

I haven’t tried combining online + local multiplayer. It basically adds the local player to the “lobby” so I would think it might interfere.

With you saying “each game let me down more than the last” I didn’t expect you to say your favorite was the second most recent game.

Interesting. What’s your favorite Elder Scrolls? Daggerfall was my first but Morrowind is my favorite.

Torchlight 3 and Infinite. I was a fan of Torchlight before there was Torchlight. I played Fate to death in college. I played Mythos during the beta. I probably put more hours into Torchlight and Torchlight 2 than I did into Diablo and Diablo 2 (and I put a lot of time into Diablo).

I actually had hope for Torchlight Frontiers. I thought it seemed like it could be what Mythos was trying to be - finally an online Torchlight game.

But then they forgot about all of that and essentially released “Torchlight 2 Mobile” but on PC.

Interestingly, I would say Sacred 2 as a huge fan of Sacred 1.

I’ve only played a bit so I can’t say if it’s worth the asking price, but it’s “refreshing” to play as an “old-school action RPG fan.” I played some Diablo 4, POE and Last Epoch and all that but none of them have stuck for me. I find myself going back to Fate (Reawakened is very solid now after a few updates), Torchlight and even Diablo 1.

Titan Quest 2 is solid. It’s slower paced, much like Grim Dawn. It feels much more like the campaign is the focus instead of something they expect you to skip through.

I will say while it’s not as polished at this point, Dragonkin has a similar feeling if you’re looking for more. Dragonkin is made by the team that made Warhammer Chaosbane but it has a lot more depth than that.

Well if you ever want to in the future, try the mod I linked. It works on Linux though I haven’t tried it on my steam deck.

I was so frustrated to learn that they removed couch co-op from the PC version of the Master Chief Collection.

If anyone is similarly frustrated:

This discord has a mod that re-enables it. My son and I have played through 1 and 2 so far and it works as long as you use the “classic” graphics.

It used to be webkit, but it was rebased on Firefox and uses Gecko now.

Yeah, I remember noting this when I played Assassin’s Creed Odyssey for the first time.

Some people say he would be a great Pope. The best Pope.
