Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I had been through four consoles and five jobs before most of the games in the notes had come out.

My top five were virtually chiselled on stone tablets by comparison :)

  • Unreal Tournament

Don't remember which game specifically, but the moment when you're escaping out if the bowels of a living planet is unforgettable. Also the game is overall kinda creepy, I had hard time playing it lol.

  • Borderlands 1/2

More towards my mid-teens, found about borderlands. Played it through and through, found great people in borderlands forums, it introduced me to so many good songs that are at the top of my playlists to this day. Two very great games.

  • TF2

Speaks for itself. There will never be a game remotely close to how good TF2 was. Even TF2 itself.

Also some honorable mentions:

  • A strategy game where you play as a mech that goes nuclear when destroyed, name is long forgotten sadly
  • I'm Going In 2
  • Hitman Silent Assassin
  • Counter Strike 1.6/Source

And only recently I discovered World of Warcraft, specifically Wrath of the Lich King. Don't really have anyone to play with, but sometimes it's fun tanking for the entire group of randoms. I really enjoy tanking, when I know where to lead the group to lol.

Supreme commander?

[–] voracitude@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Based on the dates of the other games listed, I think it's more likely Total Annihilation. In fairness, Supreme Commander is a spiritual successor; there's also Planetary Annihilation. And I'll just leave this here in case it's of interest...

Definitely supreme commander

[–] malware@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Yea :D I played both total annihilation and supreme commander, so they blend in my memory a bit

Total Annihilation.

Supreme Commander as mentioned by others was the spiritual successor but I recall it didn't fill the shoes of TA.

I haven't played this yet, but I've heard Beyond All Reason is a very good Total Annihilation-like: https://www.beyondallreason.info/

Omg yes, it's actually both, I played both of them. Thank you!
