Not sure if videos are allowed here, but I thought this was a really intriguing video essay on how the old Thief games from decades ago stack up against more modern (at the time, anyway, the video is nearly 10 years old itself!) AAA Games.

Stealth games are my favorite genre. But I could not get Thief to run on my computer. I don’t know why.

I got the entire series for like $7 during a steam sale and I can’t play 😭

I will have to watch the video more in depth later though.

The first two games need a fan patch to run on modern systems, here's a guide on how to install them.

My shakey hands deleted my comment while I was editing it lol

I think I tried that but failed somehow. It worked for a bit but kept becoming unresponsive. When I get my setup back up and running (flood destroyed my cables 😢) I’m going to try again.

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
