@Xaverius 13th Century.

Robin Hood and his Merry Men are often portrayed as living during the reign of king John, which would place them in the early 1200's.

Fair enough

@Laucivol Feel you, pretty sure my list still has games from early 2000s on it

*Only* as far back as early 2000s. XD

Well, that's when I got me first PC so unlike my friends I hadn't much attachment to 90s games

There are some from the 80s there that're worth the thought.

Not that I don't like Blizzard classics (or, games from the time Blizzard was still Blizzard). And Heroes III is pretty much on the list of best games ever for me <:smugon:512048583806025739>

If only because of "Yeah. I beat it." cred.

And let's not forget Dungeon Keeper. That shit was fairly revolutionary

I'm still hooked on Alpha Centari, myself.

Yeah, DK is the shit, as well.

Talking about revolutionary, I like how half the spacesim games in the 90s had procedurally generated content (Daggerfall too) but it was hailed as this great new invention a few years ago <:Veemote:501103628883591188>

Yeah, the difference was dimensionality & fidelity versus the days of yore.

Also, Diablo has procedurally generated dungeon crawl..

The focus shifted to shiny graphics, I think.

I fully blame advanced 3D and 7th gen consoles for this.

They existing kinda coincided with gaming getting into mainstream and the birth of modern ways of making games, or as grognards call it, dumbing down

:/

I hate being hipster, but yeah. I agree.

Also, praytell, what's a grognard?

(On an aside, I adapted that phraseology "praytell" after a game I was playing repeatedly used it. XD)

Oops

This is what I get for running a low Charisma character

Oh, "grognard" comes from tabletops and wargaming. Basically someone who sticks to old editions (but that at least means they know those well) and variously dislikes the new ones, refuses to play them or pretends they don't exist

@Laucivol

Shit, I shoulda recognized it from context - I blame the wine. Soz. @Xaverius

It's cool

Lol.

I should go bar hopping more often.

Rather than nursing old wounds, sipping my wine on a plane or in an airport club.

Valve isn't tencent owned, so china is trying to get rid of valve, through marketing interference.
