Gaming

[F0x]

Games speak to the very core nature of men.

Competitiveness, goal achievements, shiny shit, costumes for the Waifus etc.

I have been an avid gamer since the NES days and have had at least one console from every generation from each company (Ninty, Sega, Sony, MS etc).

Whilst I have enjoyed every genre, currently I am really into VR which gives me a chance to do things I normally wouldn't be able to without space or money (i.e 11TableTennis) and yes have tried some VR Porn.

Also really love Sims. Was playing Car Mechanic VR for a bit and thinking about getting Wrench but need a better PC.

Was massive fighting game fan and very good at it circa 2010 in SFIV and Tekken 6. Might know some of you punters from this lol.

Interested to hear what others are playing especially recommendations in the VR space.

Born in 1971 so grew up with Atari, Commodore 64. Super nintendo, ps1,2,3,4,and 5, the late wife use to call the ps3/4 the second wife,
But she was happy I was home with her, and not out gambling or whoring behind her back,
but all out honest I spend more time on the iPad playing games and watching movies than turning on the TV, or Mac,
In terms of porn, I have given up watching it even in VR, as i only watched it because I wasn’t getting any sex at home, due to my late wife’s treatment for cancer over a 4 year period,
Now i am more focus living a good public life than being a reclusive at home 24/7

Was waiting for this thread to come about! Slightly younger than you guys but my first console was a N64 then PS1 and then owned pretty much every Xbox since including the series X I have now. Mostly play FIFA or the Forza range have a wide collection of driving games. On PC I regularly play league of legends, total war series and other random stuff

Haha, not much response yet, guess most of the older crowd don't game much.

I enjoyed league for a bit but I'm hopeless on mouse and keyboard for that type of game including RTS. Can't keep up the APMs.

I was good at a Moba on Mobile called Vainglory if you have ever heard of that, very popular for a bit. I also played a fair bit of Rocket League, but haven't done much flat screen gaming anymore once I got my VR headset.

I'm a PES/Winning Eleven man myself. At one stage I had the full driving setup in my room, and hit up Colin McRae Rally a lot

What's life without games? Lol!

Of course I'm a gamer. Actually my wife is a much more hardcore gamer than I am, she goes on I don't know 10-man dungeon runs on WOW. Guess that's the luxury of not having to work for a living!

Me, I'm just the usual adult guy who's grown up during the Golden Age of gaming. Playing games is part of my genes now, lol!

I had an old Epson PC that didn't even have a HDD. Everything was run from floppies. Got hooked on PC games from there, particularly RPGs. The Ultima series, the OG Wastelands (precursor to Fallout if you didn't know), etc. I was there for all of them and I'm proud of it!

My first console was a Sega Megadrive. I have always been a sworn fan of Sega / anti Nintendo, but recently bought a Nintendo Switch OLED because i've given up hope on seeing Sega becoming a major player in gaming anymore. RIP, I will always cherish the memories of the great games they churned out... I absolutely pwned everyone on Virtual Soccer, and that's without using cheats!

Also reckon I'm a bit of a geek. I love to build my own gaming PC rigs. The one I'm using now was built in the middle of one of the COVID lockdowns. Nice OCed RTX 3080, Core i7 coffee lake, water cooled, 64 GB RAM, 3TB NVME SSD, clear case and lots of LEDs everywhere, haha. Should last me for a few more years that one I think.

Currently trying to play D4 as much as I can when I have time but geez... Being an adult is so much work!

Born in 1977, so for me it’s emulation rather than consoles, bringing back memories playing C64, Amiga, DOS games and arcade games via MAME

Really need to get started on my plan of building an arcade cabinet!

Heck yeah, I'm thinking of 3060 myself.

I haven't built a PC in quite some time, but one day I'll get back into it.

I also own a switch and loved it but my left Joycon got drift and I couldn't be bothered getting another one.

These days I am mainly gaming on my phone through emulators then if I have time at night I'll hit my VR.

I owned a mega drive as well, I recall how much I hit up Altered Beast and MJ Moonwalker haha

I have a raspberry pi 3 I bought exactly for this, and never got around to it ha! The screen is the hardest part to source, I vaguely feel like this was my stumbling block for doing it

A small form factor PC might be better than a pi, but yeah screens a bit tricky as the railing in the cabinet needs to be just right for it

[jesss1987]

just a ps5 and PC..gaming is life

[harmsup_jai]

I collect a lot of Nintendo gaming stuff

collection prob worth around 100k

[mcxxx]

I started out with C64, Amiga then got into consoles. For the last 25 years only been playing PC games. Splashed out on a new PC about a year ago. Similar to another post. 3080, 12700k. Also bought Reverb G2 VR, flight sim yoke and throttle. Then found my old steering wheel in the corner of a cupboard. Wish I hadn't found it because I know have a complete Sim rig with wheels, pedals, race seat all attached to a metal frame and I just ordered a H-Shifter. It is pretty sick using it with VR.

Thank you, but i wish i was a better person, i have a second chance to be with someone i love, but i know if i continue punting, i am going to mess it up one day,

[GoldfishMan]

Yeah, I was into emulators for a while. Ahh, the memories came flooding back. Even bought a joypad to play them on my PC, lol!

Then I got one of those Pandora's Box type arcade emulators from eBay, similar to this one:
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/266081655474

When I was a kid, I was scrounging up every 20c coin I could get just to be able to play the OG SF at the arcades. This thing allowed me to go back to that time and play the same games endlessly for free? It was a no brainer, haha!

Enjoyed it for a while, then I lost the bloody power adaptor while moving house and it's been collecting dust since then.

If you want to get one of these, make sure you research thoroughly about the hardware, like how good the joysticks are, etc. A wonky joystick is like being stuck with a wonky arcade cabinet for life!

Not really a hardcore competitive gamer but I do enjoy casual games and the occasional racing sims.

More often I get drawn into a game that’s story-driven. I recently got to play The Last of Us again because of the recent hype from the HBO show and it was amazing!

I’ve also tried to get into building raspberry pis. Jaycar sells some parts and modules for a raspberry pi including a screen. They also have some enclosures that are designed to look like retro consoles!

[CChef]

Was a big PC geek myself but it’s getting harder and harder to find time for it nowadays. I feel like the new SteamDeck would be great way to pick up PC gaming again in a more casual way.

Can’t wait for it to arrive in Aus and hopefully it won’t be too overpriced here.

You can plug into TV and get a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse
