Some of the directories are in the home (the tilda ~ means home of the current user) and home directory is not immutable

I think Microsoft is right there at the top, with all studios that they’ve acquired.

Curious how EA is sitting on all of the Bullfrog properties and MS on the Lionhead ones

I was almost the opposite, after reading the books I don’t want to return to that world, the first one made it feel dark and bad, but intriguing and full of unknown, second one made it a bit darker, and the third one just made it so dark and depressing, like the Darkest Dungeon, where each step sips your sanity.

It just became massively unappealing, a world of Soviet-style state oppression in a can, without a hope, with no heroes, and where the only way forward is out.

I don’t know, I saw people saying that pro has this addressed (for example this video https://youtu.be/ojLoP9ddseg) and that some slims have this adjustment as well, but you need to check when it was made I guess https://www.pcmag.com/news/sony-updates-ps5-ps5-slim-to-address-liquid-metal-leak-problem

Hope you don’t keep it vertical, there were videos on YouTube saying that liquid metal in the original models pools at the bottom with time

Oh, I was actually talking about the original Race Driver: Grid, it’s super fun. Got confused by their naming scheme though, I’ve never even played the 2019 one

There was a demo of unreal engine fan remake of NFSU2, maybe try that?

Grid is great! And it had Japanese stages too

Playing through the third one right now, the first 2 ran great already, and the launcher really is convenient, before it was all manual commands in the terminal.

One advice I would give is to delete the rom file and the iso_data/{gamename} folders after the games are fully installed to save space, since it’s several gigabytes per game that are not used after the installation

I think it was either Beyond Good and Evil or Guilty Gear Iruca for PC. And then there were psychonauts and Megaman X8, I think all of the were worth it. Guilty Gear Iruca might have been the weakest in the series for me but I had a lot of fun with it too, and it got me to try X2 later.

And the Megaman game was actually my favourite in the series, I liked having lower difficulty with Axel and replayed it a few times, I was surprised to discover that the difficulty changed the ending on my second playthrough. That was such a great time in gaming.

Duke Nukem Land of the babes and Duke Nukem time to kill from PS1 were third person shooters as well

Wouldn’t Tomb Raider be the original?

There is also Heavy Metal: F.A.K.K. 2 from the year 2000 that is closer to what you are looking for
