Hmm… If we want to stretch something further… How do I know water that I drink is something new or clean instead of treated water, pure water or even perhaps dinosaur piss that has been filtered from underground soil long long time ago? 🤔😳

Fallout 4. The amount of world exploration and itty bitty stuffs almost makes me lost myself in exploration, even though the story can be really short depending how you progress the content. On my first playthrough, I clocked at ~90hrs of play time and only just passed the 1/4 of story progression just because I sucked in sidequest and exploration.

Never thought I enjoyed the base building and assisting settlements aspects, Bethesda did great job on Visual storytelling speaking as Interplay/Obsidian Fallout fan.

Another case is STALKER Anomaly mod which can gives you theoritical endless playtime as long as you creative to build your own CYOA Stalker story. Though I don’t recommend Anomaly if you’re looking for the STALKER lore (as they’re fan project) and should be treated as post-vanilla playthrough.

If you’re okay with demolition derby stuff, FlatOut 2, Ultimate Carnage, and also Wreckfest is decent arcade racer. FlatOut minigames also fun for couch play with 2-4 people.

Wrecking competitor is fun and you can set the difficulty as you wish.

Seconding to emulation, for open world RPG you may find a lot of them on older consoles like pre-Gen 7 consoles (PS3/X360). To OP, assuming emlation is compliant with law on your country, older games are great too if you don’t mind delving pre-2010s games.

The social element is introduced in Persona 3 however the school setting can be traced back to SMT: if… that also introduces the spin off series Persona (Persona 3 before the re-release P3FES was marketed with Shin Megami Tensei moniker).

No, however it loosely contain some elements of mainline games like alignment “Law vs Chaos”, multiple endings, and moral/motives. Full body expands the multiple endings a bit especially with the new character.

Now that you mention it, also no Synchronicity prologue, SH2, IV:A missing… Definitely this chart came before Persona 5 as it has the placeholder art instead of the released game cover art.

Funnily the Persona series deals topic that is closer to our day to day live (i.e Persona 3, Persona 4) compared to mainline/other megaten spin off series.

If someone wondering how big is the Megami Tensei universe (the series as a whole), this picture below probably the closest I can get. There are other pictures too but I guess this one is the one that have connection between the games.

EDIT: I remove the image link just to avoid the headache of the lore and consistencies.

Imo what I like from this series (especially on the main line series) compared to the other JRPG games is that the mythology portrayal, the mature themes and the battle of “Law vs Chaos” is that great and doesn’t shy away from source material. I couldn’t explained it myself but it is just something different than your average JRPG.

Oh and Megami Tensei almost always has banger OST if you all never played them.

Dunno but I can hear Louis, Ellis, Bill voice line “pills here!” when reading that line. It just ear worm thingy

The days when it was simple :(

“PUT DISPENSER HERE”

“Would you kindly?”

“Patrolling Mojave almost makes you wish for nuclear winter”

“ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN CJ”

“Rise and shine mr. Freeman, rise and shine”

“Hey, you finally awake”

EDIT:

“I make my own luck”

(Several monologue from ezio saga and kenway saga is worthwhile unfortunately I couldn’t fully text it all :( )

“Guys the drill, go get it”

“Ahhh, I need my medic bag”

“Mission failed, we will get them next time”

“ENEMY AC130 ABOVE!”

“Engravings gives you no tactical advantage whatsoever”

“Boss, try to remember the basic CQC”

“The numbers mason, what do they mean” perfect response when someone suddenly pop in 6 digits nuclear code

“Victory can’t be achieved without sacrifice”

“The flags may be different, but the methods are the same”

Ah the Tiny10 and Tiny11, never tried them before because I thought it can be buggy when windows update happen (heck even normal windows update can brick grub bootloader).

Maybe I will try to compare them against LTSC IoT just for shit and giggles sake of performance different before M$ phase Win10 out.

While I also have those Win 10 and 11 LTSC versions on my ventoy drive, I just wondering whether you can tweak further aside of uninstalling stuff through powershell and disabling services through registries because I just enjoy being superuser (questioning what is referred in this post image).

Yes I like collecting OS images and troubleshoot toolkit isos as Im being “IT Support” on my circles.

EDIT: I will read every comment on this post in case someone on comment have already elaborate further.

Yeah, setup win 10 install on qemu may need to jump some hoop, especually when you want to enable features like gpu pass through.

Although qemu may not be as easy as virtualbox/vmware, the performance is worth it.

Is there any guide to install this Debloated Windows? 🤔

So far what I used is to use debloater script and also to disable that windows update service related stuff. Just wondering whether there is more unhinged part in it.

Also no custom rom android image? because technically it use older and customized linux kernel.

Awh hell nah, no more JAAAAAAAAAAG :(

For games, you’d rather use game repacks as they sometime provide smaller package for downloading. The most common one are dodi, fitgirls, though other repacker like el amigos, KaOs krew, Mr Dj also available. If you don’t mind ddl, cs-rin.ru and torrminatorr also available.

Avoid IGG-Games they have shady history in case you use public tracker.

remember rtfm! Megathread, wiki, fmhy are available so you can browse easier as provided by the community.

Nexus mods isn’t shady, they inform user regarding data breach. They provide mods and have been serving mods ever since pre 2010 I believe (registered myself on that site back in 2014 ish).

Maybe slightly off-topic, I recommend to use Viva New Vegas guide as based on my testing the game is more stable and suitable base for modding up your New Vegas install, however also check out every mods you are going to install especially older mods pre-2018 (for me) as they sometime aren’t optimized which may makes unstable issue with the game. Hope you enjoy the New Vegas!
