Here's a thread I plan to update periodically with how to find somewhat popular games from the Y2K era that are unlisted.

No One Lives Forever 1, 2, and Contract J.A.C.K.

HAHA! Surprise! Found this one loitering on my hard drive. The fireplace from the lobby of the Luckee Star motel in Vampire - Bloodlines.

Please enjoy some Y2K-era PC game yule logs on this fine evening.

I planned to add more to this playlist this year but we've had nonstop colds in this house since my son started kindergarten so it didn't pan out.

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help.

I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

if you have helped them both, I am still several thousand dollars in debt from shit accrued predominantly through being disabled myself. I am currently in an insane amount of pain because of severe health issues.

Andrew is fucking awesome. If you can, please help to allow his family and him to continue being fucking awesome.
I am so deeply sorry to be in the position to have to pull this lever again, but I just watched my car get towed away and I don't really know what else to do anymore.

More details in the update & description, but if you're able to help out or share, we would be grateful beyond words.

Expanding on this question. Does anyone have a recommendation for something casual to improve drawing skills and practice specific techniques? Like, I don't know, a book that shows you a technique and gives you a space to copy/practice? Or just any type of focused regimen for improvement?
Artist friends!

I am VERY bad at drawing. But I have been practicing to make something for my wife. Sorry to ask here but web search is miserable.

I can't for the life of me do these lines inside the petals. Reference on the left, my attempt on the right. Is there a specific technique to this?

My most personal video, yet. It combines gaming history with world history, as well as my first-hand personal experiences of living through those histories. It aims to discuss Fallout from a wholly different perspective. #gaming #retrogaming #crpgs #pcgaming

This was hard to type while trying not to cry 🥺😭, but I wanted to give sincere thanks to those who made my 2025! So again, thank you all so much!

I hope 2026 can be the year of my debut and even better progress 🫶

Fantastic video. I have an impulse to feel bad about boycotting some of these games; Microsoft hoovered up some of my favorite studios and these talented folks don't deserve to live in the shadow of suit-and-tie war crimes. But Xbox represents a unique point of consumer exposure in MS's bulwark

The numbers aren't even fucking real; you are intentionally being played by botnets that Twitter itself maintains for false engagement. This has been verified multiple times. It's a fake social media site run by nazis that you are giving your artwork, fandom and writing to support.

Cut the cord.
I am so serious numbers on your posts aren’t worth getting doxxed in what is now just mini 4chan.

The lack of a working block was always a safety issue, this is just the repercussions.

DELETE. TWITTER. 👏👏👏

All I'm trying to do is find a dumb little cute spooky mug for my wife for Christmas, and AI has made this incredibly simple, small thing a monstrous nightmare. Everything looks like shit.

Back with another specific-ass game request:
The game, which is NOT a town builder / colony sim etc, has a lil casual town building thrown in as a treat. A hub or home base you can build up. I just found out Ball X Pit has this, I think? Jedi Survivor comes to mind. Gotta be better examples.
Randomly specific game request: games where there's a meta strategy mode/campaign where the primary gameplay mode's maps/levels/gameplay parameters are dictated by the strategy. Examples would be SW Battlefront 2 Galactic Conquest mode, Dawn of War Dark Crusade, LOTR BFME2 War of the Ring mode

Toss up between Revenge of the Sith and Return of the King. Sith had the more fun preshow experience, tons of people hanging out, lightsaber fights in the parking lot. But the actual viewing of King takes it. Midnight show, packed theater, crowd goes fucking wild when Eowyn kills the Witch King.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Committing to the bit. Drop your favorite Skyrim mods please 👇
Time for my annual "not really feeling last year's Skyrim mod build so I'm going to spend the next three nights figuring out something else and then play for a week and repeat next fall"

Wabbajack is a godsend but it's frustrating that every modlist views visual overhauls as compulsory

I hated insurance companies before but nothing prepares you for how you feel when your kid needs a steroid because they're on month 3 of persistent respiratory issues and insurance denies it with "you need to try this other one first" so the doctor prescribes the other one and they deny it anyway
