Cad is still making Comics? I've always thought of it as something from the early internet, lol

I love that for Morrowind even the guide is called The Morrowind Prophecies. Everything about Morrowind was made with care and an attempt to make the world feel real. The later games can be fun, but none of them do this to the same degree.

Also, in my experience, Linux is much better at handling legacy titles than Windows is at this point. It's weird, but one more advantage for Linux!

Yeah I was expecting to have to fiddle with Morrowind, but it worked out the box, and even cloud saves worked.

Are you just playing Morrowind as it was, or are you using OpenMW?

Just as it was. I was trying to play it in an xp vm but virtual box dropped 3d acceleration support for xp a while ago. So I’m stuck with games like the sims, sim city 3000 on my. 2002 larp machine

but my endeavorOS is xp themed too

I’m kinda into doing things the old way. The old internet, mp3 player, etc

Oh yeah, all the software on the xp vm is period correct releases. No versions past 2002. Including Winamp. Just the browser is a current and safe alternative web browser

+1 for physical strategy guides! I've started collecting them, since most of them are pretty cheap these days (some are like $80+ though). It's nice to be able to unhook oneself from the Internet and be able to enjoy games completely offline again, and these guides help complete that notion.

Those are some thick game guides, I kinda miss seeing those around

We started collecting them for OG Xbox and it’s great. They are a cool thing to hunt for that hasn’t gone outrageous in pricing.

I have been playing OpenMW with Tamriel Rebuilt for the past couple of months and I don't think I will be able to finish it in my lifetime. It's wonderful.

I try to play those games but then end up spending a few days just sorting mods and trying to get them all to work together, it's stressful but also satisfying when it actually works then i play for 200 hours and reach a specific point and the game keeps crashing...

Thanks. I love the mouse. The headphones look cool and feel comfortable. But they do sound horrible because they are mono educational headphones from the late 90s. I have to run a program that turns my stereo sound into mono

What program do you use? Could be handy for me, being deaf in one ear...

Love this. I'm gonna have to buy morrowind and oblivion so I can play them I never knew about morrowind when it came out bc I didn't play pc games yet and I bought a physical pc version of oblivion but my pc wasn't good enough for more than about 20fps so I only played about an hour of choppy gameplay. Happy Birthday, btw.

Morrowind my beloved ❤️ That game has defined my life, it's why I got into game dev, and by extension how I've been able to move to another country. Sounds like an amazing time and have fun being old! 🎂

It’s really an amazing game. It feels like DnD in video game form. It’s so complex at times

Happy birthday to you and everything but i dont comprehend how anyone could feel nostalgic enough to play oblivion again. Everything else you played is a gem and everybody loves you. :*
