Yeah, the worst day was when I was too sick to even look at a screen 😅

I did get Brütal Legend in a Humble Bundle yes. Looks like it was Humble Indie Bundle 9 in September 2013, back when they were cool!

The game is still quite fun. Other than the humor (if you don't like Jack Black, it might not be the game for you), the gameplay is good and has lots of different mechanics.

I was off work sick for a few days, so I decided to catch up with Super Mario RPG on Switch. I finished it and did a bit of the aftergame stuff, and it was quite fun. The style is amazing, I really enjoyed how pretty everything looks in this remake. The easter eggs and the humour in general are really good.

The negatives are the battles get a bit repetitive at times. And:

I also played some stuff on Steam. Titan Attacks (a modern Space Invaders with a cool style) and Syder Arcade when in a mood for pew pew games and Brütal Legend which I've had for years and only just now can play with a decent set up.

I use ~/workspace . I think I got this from when I first started using Java years ago. Eclipse created new projects in this directory by default maybe?

This game was so impressive and really fun on the Wii U. It could be a big seller for the Switch!

I wonder why it took them this long to bring it to Switch. Maybe there's a sequel coming out for the next console.

This looks amazing, but I can't get another Sonic game before I finish playing the ones I got! 😆

What? The weekend's already here? Where did the week go? I need to look at my backlog and choose some games!

I remember Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition for Wii U was amazing. One of the few games that did really good use of the Game Pad, I had a lot of fun with it. I was tempted to get the collection for Switch, I assume it looks way better than on Wii U (which wasn't really an issue for me). But I don't know if I'd play all three of them from scratch...

Yeah, back when I saw this (was it on the Indie showcase?) I thought it'd be Silksong!

GOG games I've been having a harder time making them work. At least the Mortal Kombtas on fullscreen mode, I'll eventually figure that out.

I play random characters on Injustice too. I had it on the Wii U and I think I did the whole story mode there, but it's been a while.

Let me know what you think once you play Halo. The first one at least was fun for me. I never played multiplayer though, I think that was the main thing back in the day? I'll see how far I get on the first one before I move on to the second one...

This sounds pretty interesting!

I've been playing Halls of Torment as I mentioned last week. But I also set up a new partition exclusively for playing on my computer. I installed Garuda Linux, a distro built on ArchLinux for gaming.

As many others, I have a bunch of games on my Steam library which I've acquired via sales or Humble Bundles, and I've barely played them (if at all!). With this new setup, games are working great and I'm trying to check out more of them. I'm really surprised with how well non-native games work on Linux these days!

I've been playing the latest Killer Instinct, Ultra Street Fighter IV and Injustice: Gods Among Us fights every now and then.

I started a new game of Halo: Combat Evolved. I played this through years ago when I still double booted a Windows partition, and I remember having lots of fun with it. I also started Halo: Reach mostly to see how the latest entry worked on Linux (and was impressed!). I think I'm going to get proper organized and play them in chronological order if I decide to keep playing Halo. I also have the Bioshock collection, which I might also check out. And a few more I'll go through once I'm done with these! 😬

I went back to Echoes of Wisdom for this one echo I was missing:

I got Transformers: Galactic Trails today on the Switch, so I'm going to be checking that one out. I hopefully will be playing some co-op TMNT: Cowabunga Collection too!

I've also been playing/will be playing some other stuff on Steam.

Really cool find and great work with the refurbishing.

I've picked up a 14" Bush CRT with a VHS player and a 29" Ferguson that people put out next to the rubbish bins. They both need repairs, but they kind of work. It's so cool to play the old consoles in these! And there's a special thing about playing a video cassette for those of us who grew up with it 😬

You've broken rule 2 of this community with the comment we removed. Keep it civil, and follow the rules please.

If you're in the UK, hive.co.uk does a similar thing too.

Yeah, I was surprised by the price. I was already convinced I wasn't going to get it, but for that price I just might 🤔 (I love the N64!)

You're not the target audience for these products.

Comes in black and white versions.

Honestly I thought this would cost like USD 800 or something mental like that. For that price, I think I'm going to try to get it...

if that’s not GameCube, then I’ll eat all of my flat caps

We need to follow up on this with the author if it's not the Game Cube 😆

Yeah, it looks amazing, but obscenely expensive! I guess whoever bought the old costumes from the TMNT movie might consider getting this.
