I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What do you like most about 2023's repertoire of video games?

    Spent 3 weeks playing System Shock 2. Did three play-throughs back to back (holy crap is the Psi-guy build OP). Have had this game for ever and realized, as I was in the final 3rd of the game, that I don't think I ever actually beat it years and years ago.

    Found a Bioshock disk (never played it, got it when I was cleaning out a deceased relatives place) and fiddled with things until I manged to get it playing. Did a few playthroughs immediately after my month of playing System Shock 2. Realizing how much I like games that can be beat in 10~15 hours but repeated playthroughs wind up giving you some more breadcrumbs of story that you missed during a previous run.)

    Watched a YT video by RagnarRox about Clive Barker's Undying and found that there's a copy available on the Internet Archive's "Software Clearance Bin" section. Fiddled with it some and got it running. (Also found a copy of "I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream" and "Transformers: Devastation" on the Internet Archive in the same section but haven't fiddled with things to see if I can get them to work yet.)

        ?

        Oh no. System Shock 2 was an actual sequel to System Shock. I think it came out in 1999.

          Ah, yeah, they have yet to do the remake for the second one then...
