  • Flu Season Play Want Bin (PWBE 8 Dec 2025)

    Good time of year for everybody to be sick. No social obligations or
    unusual need to go out shopping in any way.

    Play:
    --=--

    Playstation VR2 (PC) - I put it in a carrying case and I've inserted
    little charging bits into the USB ports on the hand controller bits. So
    now it'll be really easy to set aside and ignore. Seriously, I've gone
    and installed a few more Steam games and they're roughly all the same in
    terms of what they're showing off and how long you can play it. With
    normal games you can pause and set everything aside if you need a break.
    VR only makes me sad in that it's so much hassle to get set up to play
    just so I can be interrupted and have to undo all the prep and all the
    parts.

    Want:
    --=--

    PSVR2 games on disc (PS5) - Interestingly, PS5 games that support VR
    were released on disc more often in the EU region than in the US. If
    only I lived in a free country with no restraint of trade, I'd have
    ordered $200 worth of them already.

    Bin:

    Nothing gaming-related.

    -KKC, who wishes he made time to actually play some real games.

    And speaking of an unusual need to go out shopping...

    Play:

    Space Trader (PalmOS) - another remarkably coincidental touch-based
    game. I think there was at least one remake or port at some point, but
    I still like (presumably) the original quite a bit as it turns out.
    Turn-based Elite really has no business being this good. Anyway, lunar retirement achieved. Just like in Space: 1999.

    Phyperoid (PalmOS) - some rank amateur ported this old Asteroids
    variant to the Palm in the most slapdash of fashions 20+ years ago,
    but you know, it does actually remain oddly playable despite that.

    Want:

    To play Rise of the Tomb Raider (PC), having bought this hot new game
    (by gog.com standards). I'm not sure if I'll like it putting more Tomb
    back into Tomb Raider though, and as ever I wonder if my N100 will be
    reaching the heady heights of 720p this time or not.

    Bin:

    Space Trader making combat a bit pointless to really bother with much.
    I mean, if the emphasis was intended to be on trading in space, I just
    wish that could have been made clear somehow.
