Sort by last played. Sort by size. See the same names? Start blasting.

Some games (modded ones) are such a pain to get to work the same way that you don't want to delete them

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Honestly if the mods aren't drag drop play I don't even fuck with them. I've spent too much time modding games that weren't made to be modded, and steam workshop has truly spoiled me.

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

Yeah, and nexus now requires to login to download mods AND you can’t use a temporary email address

Do you know of an alternative?

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

I sadly don't, I'm just frustrated that Nexus gobbled up the whole scene.

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

As someone old enough to have chosen between save files to delete for space, I don't really understand why people get so hung up on which games are currently installed.

[-] cone_zombie@lemmy.ml 5 points 10 months ago

Pffft, I remember typing without vowels to save space

[-] skittlebrau@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I remember how amazing it was to upgrade the memory cards in the PS2 to those third party ones.

Whereas the paltry 128kB memory cards in the PS1 were painful to deal with, especially with those games that demanded multiple save slots.

Cartridge based games varied so much with save slots. Some games I recall playing from the SNES era only had 3 slots I think. I remember Mega Man X used a clever passcode feature to let you ‘save’.

I mean, I'm also old and I get what you mean, but I still feel this way on many occasions.

Games nowadays are huge, and my 50 mbps bandwidth can't keep up with today's standard where I'm used to everything happens instantly.

Also modded games are usually painful to reinstall.

[-] Palerider@feddit.uk 4 points 10 months ago

I old enough that, as a kid, every time I wanted to play a game I had had to wait for it to install from cassette.

Besides, download speeds now are amazing.

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 10 months ago

tape load times were a good excuse for a tea break

the download speeds being good now is kinda cancelled out by a lot of games being ridiculously huge now though

[-] ech@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

Just nabbed 4tb of ssds. Happy to not have to do this anymore (for a while).

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago

Single 4tb NVME, aaaall the games

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 2 points 10 months ago

And one point of failure for many things

[-] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

With 1tb nvme boot drive. I can generally re-get a game at any time, but i dont feel like redownloading just because the OS is fucked.

[-] brisk@aussie.zone 3 points 10 months ago

With that set up you could install Ark twice!

[-] ech@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago
[-] levzzz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I've already filled up around 1.5tb on my 2tb nvme ssd in like 7 months

[-] ech@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

Hah, yeah. I'm pretty prolific at filling up my drives as well. Should still help, though!

[-] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Is the pic from the walking dead? Cause if so pretty sure I stopped watching at this season and was curious if it ever picked up again?

[-] puppycat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 10 months ago

it is! this was season 7. season 8 (and a lot of 7, both seasons were the same arc or whatever) was the best season by far imo (I'm also only on season 9 lol)

when my gf got me to watch the zombie show™ I did not expect it to turn into such a crazy non-zombie-focused plot. there are 11 seasons of the main show, 8 seasons of fear the walking dead, a season or two (idk) of Daryl Dixon, and yet another show, the ones who live, released in 2024.

[-] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I think they even have a few more shows than that now

[-] SamboT@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

You've obviously never been to space

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

I always wanted you to go though

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.ml 3 points 10 months ago

Outer space no. Inner space yes but it wasn't pretty

[-] miracleorange@beehaw.org 2 points 10 months ago

alternatively:

The poster for Sophie's Choice starting Meryl Streep

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I usually delete one of the hundreds to thousands I haven't played since I was 12 either that or the one game I want to play more than anything else but can't play with a controller.

[-] Ghost33313@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago

It's always a game you want to get back to or intend to try. But it just never grabs your attention.
