  • Xiii shooter (original on PS2, not the remake)

    Metal Gear Solid 1, 3, and 4. 2 is okay but it’s the black sheep. 5 is a good game but doesn’t fit the series great imo. We don’t talk about Survive. Revengence is okay.

    Maneater. Basically a remake of the old Jaws game from PS2 era gameplay-wise

    FF7 original. If you’re bored with it, try the New Threat mod by SegaChief. Absolutely worth a look.

    If you’re into pokemon rom hacks, Emerald SeaGlass and Crystal Legacy.

    Crash Bandicoot 1-4. Ignore any titles from PS2 era.

    Spyro 1-3. Also ignore any PS2 era titles.

    Castle Crashers

    If you have a non-gamer around that does like movies, give Beyond: 2 Souls and Until Dawn a look.

    Spec Ops: The Line

    Doki Doki Literature Club

    Star Wars: The Force Unleashed 1 + 2

    I’m sure I’ll add more.










  • Yeah same boat here.

    Testosterone got the better of me weight lifting in high school and I fucked up the ligament that holds my left kneecap down.

    I pop and crack like a 70 year old and I’m 29 (been happening since I was 17) and I can’t keep my left knee bent for long periods of time without it aching.

    I’m trying to stay young by playing video games (primarily rocket league) but they don’t feel the same as when I was younger. That was my actual sign.



  • Honestly the single biggest thing to self-hosting is breaking stuff.

    Host stuff that seems interesting to you, and dick around with it. If it breaks, read the logs and try to fix. If you can’t, revert to a backup and try to reproduce.

    If you start out with things that interest you, you’ll more likely stick with the hobby. From there you can move to hosting things with external access - maybe vpn inside your own network through your router?

    From there, get your security in line and host a basic webserver. Something small, low attack vector, and build on it. Then expand!

    Definitely recommend docker to start with - specifically docker compose. Read the documentation and mess around!

    First container I would host is portainer. General web admin/management panel for containers.

    Good luck :).
