Back on the Python train and studying coding again. Working my way thru Automate the Boring Stuff with Python. We got any programmers in the Dtoid community?

I just discovered Reshade. Holy smokes. I'm using it on Il-2 1946 and it's cleaned up the graphics nicely. If you're playing any PC game that's 3D and older than ten/twelve years or so, I would definitely look into Reshade if you haven't already.

I just got on OKCupid and Match.com for the first time. These websites have the same addictive qualities as social media. Ugh. I'm checking them every ten minutes to see if I got a like or a message. Maybe I'll hold off on dating for awhile...

I know I haven't been around lately, but I just wanted to pop in and say that I hope the Dtoid community is doing ok during these times. Just promise me whatever you do today, go easy on yourself. Life is short, after all.

So, the redesigned PlayStation store still shows PS3 and Vita games, even though they announced those would be removed. Also, only some PS1 classics are searchable... For example, Mega Man Legends 2 shows up, but 1 doesn't....

Sniper Elite 4 is criminally underrated. I don't know if Strange Brigade lived up to it, but if you like stealth games, WW2 games, or third-person shooters then you need to play SE 4.

MGS1 and 2 are arriving on GOG today https://www.gog.com/partner/konami

Good morning. Just here to say whaddup

Something that doesn't make sense. If the PS5 is backwards compatible with PS4 games, then I should be able to access those free ps plus games on my PS4, right?

Thanks to everybody for the awesome mobile game recommendations. If you're looking for a mobile game and you missed my last post, check it out here.

Are there any mobile games that I might seriously be missing out on? Even if they're just kind of fun.

I'm wondering about cross compatibility with online games between ps4 and ps5. So if half my group upgrades to the ps5 will I be able to join them online on my ps4?

Hopefully this hasn't been posted already... ;)

My first flight in IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946, after building my first custom mission with the B-24. Just doing a fly-around of Hawaii on a sunny day.

I'm officially getting back into flight simulators, starting with IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946. Might even snag a Thrustmaster T flight hotas x. We got any other sim pilots lurking around Dtoid?

I'm in this weird Catch-22. I feel guilty for not being productive while being furloughed from work. That guilt is preventing me from enjoying gaming. So the result is that I've spent my unemployment drinking beer and watching The Wire.

Happy birthday Sam van der Meer!

I wonder if we're straining the Dtoid servers by scrolling through all these old posts XD #MyFirstQpost

Thanks to this quarantine I managed to beat four games. Three of em were stealth games. I'm currently playing through the entire Metal Gear series in release order, something I've been wanting to do for awhile. Hopefully I'll have some cblogs to follow.

To follow up from my previous Qpost, I think the game I'm looking for is Bushido Blade as an RPG or action/adventure game. Does this exist? Or should I just replay Onimusha?

Are there any Souls-like games where the main focus is on human vs. human combat? Sort of like a third-person sword-fighting sim?

I'm getting burnt out on games again. It happens to me at least once a month. What do you guys do when this happens to you? Does it happen to you at all?

Last night I thought I'd play Civ 5 for the first time while drunk. It was, well, difficult

I tested out a couple of free games this weekend. And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but Ghost Recon Breakpoint has really improved since the Beta. I may actually buy it. Secondly, Insurgency Sandstorm is not nearly as good as the original, sadly.

All the Arma games are on sale right now. It's also free weekend for Insurgency: Sandstorm and Ghost Recon Breakpoint. It's a tornado of tactical shooters and I'm debating buying (at least) one of them. What to do?

Does anyone know the story on how Konami got the rights to do the Turbografx mini?

I'm feeling oddly inspired to play some FPS campaigns. I might try to actually beat the campaigns on Black Ops 3, Battlefield 3, and Battlefield 1. Any other recommendations?

I'm having trouble forming my final opinion on Death Stranding. It's like the gameplay is way too slow but somehow still satisfying to play.

I realize the Souls games have been hyped until infinity, but certain things don't get discussed enough: the lack of music during normal gameplay actually makes the world feel more eerie. Also, the games are not as impossible as some make them out to be.

Happy birthday to the macho taco!
