NO FREAKING WAY, we're getting a Nightdive remaster of Thief: The Dark Project?!

I played the ever-loving snot out of this game as a kid. I never beat it but I loved it so much, it influenced so much of my taste in gaming! This might have to be a day one buy for me

Thief: The Dark Project Remastered on Steam

The shadows are your ally. Return to the city as Garrett, master thief, in this remastered classic by Nightdive Studios. Pickpocket, prowl, and outsmart in a world where trust is a luxury and every stolen secret comes at a price.

Lately, I've been playing a bit of Torment: Tides of Numenera, and I'm not sure why this didn't get more love from classic cRPG fans.

It's made by inXile (founded by the legendary Brian Fargo of Interplay fame) and truly does feel like an appropriate spiritual successor to Planescape: Torment. Incredible lore/writing, an immensely appealing GUI, seemingly great characters... it really does have it all

I have my issues with Garriott's worldview and Shroud of the Avatar had some problems, but this is another one of those whitepill scenarios like Perifractic buying Commodore!

Absolutely insane news. Ultima is THE grandfather of the modern computer RPG, alongside Might & Magic and Wizardry. Having this series back in its' creator's hands and possibly getting some new titles in the series would be outstanding!

The creator of Ultima is reportedly reclaiming the series' rights back from EA, and it could happen as soon as next year

"Every decade or so, I tried to work with EA on a revival of Ultima."

After watching this guy playing the first game, I'm strongly considering grabbing the Master of Orion 1+2 bundle on GOG for the summer sale. I love 4X strategy and I know how foundational this one was on the genre!

It's no secret I love retro PC games, particularly for MS-DOS and early Windows... but if there's one thing I really don't like about games from this era, it's the fact that running them on modern displays does one of two things:

1. The image is rendered low-res and pixellated (to an unpleasant degree) and stretched to fit modern resolutions.

or

2. Running in modern resolutions makes the menus, text, or FOV look really tiny.

Bought a new monitor

This year I was going to move from my current AM4 system to AM5, but fucking AI bullshit put paid to that

So this is the best upgrade I can make that’s not going to cost the earth

It’s an Amazon Warehouse deal and was significantly cheaper than new, and I have it set up, and it’s beautiful, the blacks are so black!

The most excellent remaster of one of my all-time favorite games is currently Fanatical's star deal!

Just $33.99 for an open world sandbox RPG with hundreds of hours of gameplay and some of the greatest DLCs and expansions in genre history. If you've never played it, you owe it to yourself to at least consider picking it up.

Everyone talks about HOMM3 but personally, I feel HOMM5 is incredibly underappreciated!

The gameplay is smooth and well-paced. The story is campy early 2000s high fantasy at its best, and the visuals are timeless: colorful and evoking thoughts of tabletop miniatures.

Did you play Heroes of Might and Magic 5? If so, what did you think of it?

I have a question for the retro gaming community on the Fediverse: do any of you have any experience with the GOG Patrons subscription?

I know it's mostly just bonus features and added say in what dreamlist games are prioritized but I'm curious to know what it's like being a patron in case I ever decide that I can spare the money to become one myself.
