finished playing Quake II
Realmente, Quake II é, para mim, bem melhor que o primeiro jogo da franquia.

Traz um ritmo extremamente frenético, boa física e jogabilidade.

Em determinados momentos, me senti jogando o primeiro Half-Life que saiu mais ou menos um ano depois. E isso não é à toa: Half-Life usa a GoldSrc, uma versão modificada da Quake engine.

Portanto, Quake II envelheceu bem e vale a pena ser revisitado pelos fãs do gênero.

#NeoDB

I found this cool #Fediverse software called #NeoDB via @dansup 's awesome FediDB website.

https://fedidb.com/software/neodb?version=latest&registration=open

It's a tracking / shelf platform for #TV / #drama, #movies / #films, #books, and #games

Automated import from #Goodreads work well. Just provide the required URL and voila. If it doesn't appear immediately, it is probably waiting for server workers or waiting for the server load to lower or Goodreads request limit, just be patient, only submit the same URL once! If in doubt, contact the admins instead of resubmitting.

Unfortunately, the software doesn't support import (automated, API, or manual) from Trakt, SIMKL, MyAnimeList, and other popular tracking/shelf services for TV/drama and movies/films. There is one, Douban or something, which I think is popular in the Chinese and Japanese speaking markets.

Anyway, what if the item you want to add doesn't exist in the database yet?

Worry not! There are three ways NeoDB software populates its database.

* Method 1: You can add the details yourself

* Method 2: Search the other NeoDB instances for existing similar items

* Method 3: Search for the item from TMDB, IMDB, IGDB, Steam, Goodreads, and other supported sites (no TVDB), and paste the URL to NeoDB's search box and it will import it to your instance

Method 2 is already sweet. That is the entire idea of the #SocialWeb. But Method 3 is even sweeter!

Methods 2 and 3 are the best because it's a win-win for everyone. Regular users can forget about manually re-entering new data. Seriously, who wants to manually duplicate data from one DB to another? I certainly don't! I contribute to #TMDB but I'm definitely not repeating the same effort in #TVDB.

Secondly, there's no need for instances to duplicate large databases just to ensure their site is useful for any user. Items are added as local users interact with the items. It keeps the db small instead of having thousands of items no one has interacted to yet (or probably not).

Check my accounts:

* Flagship server: @youronlyone
* Instance: @youronlyone@eggplant.place

~~Hmm… I haven't checked but I think music is not supported (yet?). NeoDB can use the largest #OpenDB for music: #Musicbrainz ~~

UPDATE: Music is supported, as well as, #podcasts .

The Settlers II Gold Edition Comes to Amiga on October 18th 2025

Hi everyone,

Today I have some great news for all of you who are enjoy playing games on your Amiga! The Settlers II Gold Edition is scheduled for an Amiga release on October 18th 2025.

With an official license from Ubisoft Entertainment, the game will be available natively for the Amiga. Not as a quick port, but as an optimized version that shows what the Amiga is really capable of.

It will be available for both 68k based systems and PowerPC, such as systems running AmigaOS 4.1.

On amiga-news.de you can read the official press release that goes into details concerning this upcoming game.

Here is the link:

https://www.amiga-news.de/en/news/AN-2025-08-00050-EN.html

Pre-order is now open.

That was all for now. Thanks for reading, and see you in another post here on the Old School Game Blog! 🙂

wants to play Quake
No final de semana, estava com vontade de jogar algo bem descompromissado, "sem enredo" ou maiores complicações. Foi a escolha certa.

Meu primeiro contato com a franquia foi com Quake II, daquela revista Full Games.

Por conta disso, a primeira vez que joguei um pouco do primeiro game, estranhei um pouco por conta dos gráficos (inclusive, no início dos anos 2000, era um dos poucos jogos disponíveis nativamente para Linux).

Mas assim com aconteceu com Mortal Kombat I, esse primeiro jogo da franquia Quake ganhou uma aura especial para mim. Realmente, um divisor de águas entre os Jogos de Tiro em Primeira Pessoa.

Here's a #HangTrek extra. This is a #StarTrekTOS quote. It's very well-known. But I've been thinking it's too long & involved for the usual. So instead I'm going to leave it here with no polls & no further hints. If no one has guessed this by the time I run the next HangTrek, I may use this. Otherwise, I have lots of other candidates in my notes.

Please use a CW if you guess, in case you're wrong. 🖖

started playing Forza Horizon 4
Este jogo será removido do Steam no dia 15 de dezembro de 2024. E, hoje, já não permite mais a compra de nenhum DLC de forma avulsa.

Ou seja: se você quiser os conteúdos adicionais, como os trocentos carros dos DLCs, compensa mais pegar a edição Ultimate.

Disseram que é praxe a Microsoft remover jogos antigos dessa franquia das lojas digitais, supostamente por causa da expiração do licenciamento de marcas e músicas.

O que gosto na franquia Forza é a possibilidade de jogar com marcha manual e embreagem. Além disso, na visão do cockpit, é bem divertido dirigir nas pistas com chuva, neve e poças d'água.

Na versão Ultimate, é carro que não acaba mais:

Só de Ferrari, são 43 carros

Tem até o Warthog do Halo :-P

finished playing Counter-Strike
Para o SegundaFicha cujo tema é "jogos em que fiz amizades", trago Counter Strike (versão 1.3 ou 1.5), que comecei a jogá-lo em meados de 2002. Primeiro, numa breve partida na Fenasoft do mesmo ano.

https://i.imgur.com/UbuYGIb.jpeg

Depois, comprei uma caixinha chamada "Half-Life Generation", que vinha com 4 CDs: "Half-Life" ("o jogo necessário para rodar CS"), "Opposing Force", "Blue Shift" (expansões) e "Couter Strike".

https://i.imgur.com/u9jfElP.jpeg

No dia em que o pedido chegou, estava num churrasco de confraternização da firma. Depois de ficar levemente alcoolizado e cantar "Chopis Centis" (Mamonas Assassinas) no karaokê, voltei para casa no final da tarde.

Ansioso e ainda sobre o efeito do álcool, tentei abri-lo com a chave de casa (o resultado pode ser conferido na foto do estojo original). Felizmente, os CDs ficaram intactos.

https://i.imgur.com/BCgeTUu.jpeg

Passei a jogá-lo ainda com conexão discada, de 56 Kbps. Nas salas de bate papo do lobby conheci um grande amigo do RJ, que hoje mora em Portugal. Chegamos até a fazer parte de um "clan" (time). Lá se vão mais de duas décadas.

Os últimos coops que jogamos foram: "Portal 2", "Spec Ops: The Line" e atualmente estamos jogando "Shift Happens".

Hey everyone! The game I've been working on for NEARLY TEN YEARS is now officially out! I would love it so much if you would check it out! If you like stuff like Dragon Quest and Elder Scrolls, this might be right up your alley!

A massive thank you to everyone who has helped me work on it, including connections I've made through fedi like @matana and @Mr_NutterButter also thanks to everyone here that kept me motivated and always liked/boosted my posts!

Definitely wasn't always easy, especially in the case of motivation, and I'm sure there are still some bugs out there I didn't catch with a game so large. I'm so happy with the way it turned out though and I'm incredibly grateful that I had the ability to create it!

It's official: the Vault is open, and treasures are for sale. I can hopefully be forgiven for this singular advertisement of my new #eBay store. All sorts of board & card #games, #videogames, #puzzles, and other #collectibles will be on offer. This isn't about profit; my financial situation is dire and I'm weeks from potential homelessness. Any bids/orders/sharing of links would be deeply appreciated. Check back regularly; many things will be going up there day by day. https://www.ebay.com/usr/puzzleandgameestateh/i.html?item=116521946013&rt=nc&_ssn=puzzleandgameestate
