Hey my house got destroyed by hurricane Harvey and I'm stuck with a crappy i3 laptop with Intel integrated graphics for a while, and im looking for a game to play. I don't have a lot of money (considering most of everything I own just got destroyed) but I'm willing to buy a game if it looks intriguing enough.
- needs bad graphics. Ps2 or earlier. In perfectly okay with pixel shit or anything else.
- im okay with emulating but I hate using mouse and keyboard for emulated games and don't have a controller. If it was a slower turn based or similar game I would be okay with it
- something that I can get up and walk away from, so either the ability to pause or turn based.
Try the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind user! It's an absolute classic with an immersive world you can get really deep into that's not very system intensive. Btw, I'm really sorry that that happened to you :(

Faster than Light is probably a good one. You can sink a lot of hours into that. Binding of Isaac, if you're into games like that. Also Risk of Rain.

Stardew Valley and Undertale if you haven't played them yet. Added bonus of being comfy enough to make you forget about God's indifference
Angel Carter
As other anons suggested, Risk of Rain, Stardew Valley, and Morrowind. If you like Souls games, Salt and Sanctuary is great. Darkest Dungeon if you don't mind a bit of frustration, or Arx Fatalis. If you still have internet, somehow, Dungeon Fighter Online is a free arcade brawler MMO you could kill some time with.
Also sorry to hear about all your shit being destroyed. Honestly one of my biggest fears is having some natural disaster happen and rob me of everything I've ever owned.

Not trying to bait or anything but do you americans have no form of insurance? I am always confused when I see americans crying their eyes out about how all of what they've owned got destroyed in some weird twister tornado and how they are going to have to live on the street for the rest of their life.
Not saying that where I am from everybody has insured everything but if you actually own a house wouldn't you make sure to insure it right away?
Jayden Gomez
What a faggot why didn't you move all valuable upstairs or something? Ctfu this nigga fr had all his electronics and shit on the living room floor
Nathan Davis
I've never looked into insurance, nor owning a house personally. Never had all that much money. I'd imagine someone like me would just have to throw everything out and would get no assistance in replacing anything.
Adam Cox
flood insurance is separate and most people don't know that
Mason Turner
American insurance companies have lawyers that point put "you should have gotten the optional coverage package :^)" Unfettered capitalism encourages a lot of scumbag behaviour.

tell me how you think insuring a house works.

Kevin Martinez
Okay, that explains it, I guess. But still, if you are buying a house you should be looking into that deeply. Even some Google search helps.
Well, like I said, I have no idea how it works in the US. Over here, you can get a general insurance for buildings you own, they are fairly regulated by law. As floods and similar natural disasters are rare you would usually have to get that seperately.
Most grown people also have an insurance for their belongings in their home. Like I said, things are pretty regulated by law so insurances don't differ too much from one another and they are not allowed to pull off some >whoops, you didn't get the extra-extra tornado insurance which is not included in the all natural catastrophies insurance
But yeah, I am sorry to hear about your stuff, OP. Hope you get back on track soon.

Dominic Harris
I work in insurance. You'd be shocked how many people called me the day before the storm trying to get coverage. And then learning that it wont cover flood anyway because that's separate.
Jaxon Campbell
I remember you from a thread a few days ago
Andrew Gonzalez
You niggers never had anything period. Going from a shit hole to a cleaner yet wet shit hole wasn't a big deal. Going from 1st world living conditions to that of Louisiana is fucking terrible.
Brody Thomas
Tons of people do. However, it's uncommon for small personal possessions to be covered by something like this, and it takes time to go through the process of replacing them if they are. Usually, the disaster happenes, and over the next several months, insurance companies go around doing estimates. Certain things like destroyed trees might give you money, and other things like cars won't because that is something that would normally be insured separate from your house in the firm's eyes. You can walk away with minimal damage and a nice windfall for having shit you don't care about damaged, or have your whole fucking house blown away and only given about 60% of what it would've sold for along with the stuff inside. But yeah, it depends on the area. Nicer houses, people are usually better with their money and buy better insurance with their house. Poorer areas, you get more people that are ignorant of how insurance works and are surprised that their cheapo shitty plan doesn't give them 100% reimbursement for everything they own.

Yup. I'm STILL getting calls from it.
If its 30 inches underwater, its way too late to get insurance.
I still highly highly recommend renters insurance anyway just because nine times out of 10 its fucking dirt cheap and covers all your shit.

Something that I found helps with emulating games that require actual control is mapping the directional pad to wasd and a and b to something like the arrow keys. Since controllers always have you use your left hand to move, this makes things a little bit easier cognitively. Maybe this will help you enjoy emulators a bit.

To learn something. Besides the 2 or 3 typical shitposters (including yourself) there were several people actually putting something of worth into the discussion.
Now you can go.
Christopher Thomas
shit so if I live near the coast should I get flood insurance? what other insurances do I need? are there other natural disaster insurances or are they a waste of time?
Xavier King
You need a controller, user? I can give you my Dualshock 3 if you're in a place that can actually be reached
Also you should play VtM:B
Noah Lewis
Insurance companies don't exist to give you money when you need it. They exist as a part of capitalism purely to take money from you, and they've paid our government enough money to make it illegal not to buy their insurance. You pay and you pay and you pay for insurance because it's mandatory for everyone either by law, landlord rules, or the threat of complete and utter financial ruin for the rest of your entire life just for taking an ambulance. Then, when you get in a car accident, or your house is flooded by a hurricane, or you get something as dumb as strep throat, the insurance companies nitpick and weasel their way out of every last dime they can possibly avoid giving back to you. You pay them hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of your entire life and you're fucking LUCKY if you get enough money back to buy a single solitary antibiotic pill when you actually need them for something. So yeah, I guess we are idiots, because we're still living in this shitty fucking country ruled by greed and we haven't blown our fucking brains out yet.

>highly recommend renters insurance anyway just because nine times out of 10 its fucking dirt cheap and covers all your shit. No shit you recommend any type of insurance, you're one of them. Why bother pretending the shit that you peddle is actually helpful? No respectable landlords would ever rent to someone who doesn't have renter's insurance anyway. We're forced to buy into your programs that are guaranteed to buttfuck us when we need you the most, the least you could do is look us in the eyes and be honest while you fill our assholes with your greedy, black seed.
Landon Harris
Yes. If you rent, get renters. If you own and are responsible for the outside of your house, get homeowners. If you own but ARE NOT responsible for the outside of your house, get condo. Dont bother with anything else unless you live in Cali, then get Earthquake. Earthquake is handled by the state and has its own separate billing but is totally worth it.
Parker Cox
He works in insurance, he'd sell flood insurance to someone living in a fucking desert.
Mason Bailey

I doubt he gets paid to advertise this shit on Sup Forums.

This.
I get paid to punch people's shit into a computer and tell them a price, then convince them to buy.
I will flat out tell people when its a rip and not worth their time, though.
I'm not advertising the company I work for. I'm just advising based on what I've seen.
I dont expect anyone to take it seriously considering its Sup Forums.

Do YOU have insurance of any kind? You seem very salty about it, did you get fucked out of some kind of payout after an incident?
Jack Walker
take them in
Josiah Perez
I have only what's absolutely required I haven't gotten fucked by a payout, it's just that insurance is more expensive than it needs to be based on often bullshit factors. I've paid more for insurance than I would have had just saving and paying for expenses out of pocket. Better yet, single payer systems would work far better under the model insurance follows.
Jonathan Roberts
I have insurance because you might as well be publicly executed by the state if you don't have everything covered. Thankfully, I can still get health and dental from my dad's cop job for like another couple years, but renter's, car, etc. I have to pay for. I have dental but I haven't been to the dentist in over 10 years because there's no fucking way in hell I trust the insurance company when they say that visits are covered totally. Guarantee that if I so much as tried to talk to the receptionist they'd charge me $80 and say my insurance only covers me opening the door. Health has *never* covered shit at all. All my vaccines for my restaurant job and moving into my dorms way back when I started college? 100% out of my pocket, not a fucking dime from insurance. A visit to urgent care because I couldn't fucking speak from strep throat? They barely chipped in just to have some grad student say hello to me, and the vast majority of the charge went straight to me. Every car accident that I've been involved in (never me driving) has resulted in both parties' insurance companies blaming the other driver and not shelling out a god damn dime until someone had to call and start screaming at the college intern they had chained to the phone. Insurance is a fucking joke. What a load of shit the whole system is. Just another fucked up way to rape and pillage the country, just like the Credit system.
Robert Nguyen
That's what you progressive cucks get for sheltering wetbacks.

If its a 5th gen you can probably play ETS2 on medium (i5-5200 with 6GB of RAM and a 1366x768 display here).

Joseph Bennett
>did you get fucked out of some kind of payout after an incident? Guarantee you $100 that anyone who has insurance in america has been fucked out of a payout for every single incident they've ever experienced.
Jace Robinson
Wait woah pause. There's a JSR emulator or game on pc?
If you're talking health insurance, I totally get it. Health insurance is absolutely fucked.
If you're talking auto, you're a dumb motherfucker who I sincerely hope never is at fault in an accident or you're going to get fucked by the courts forever.
Austin Hernandez
I dunno about your state, but it's illegal to drive without auto insurance in mine.
Jackson Morales
That doesnt mean that people don't drive without insurance. It happens way more often than you think.
Luis Bailey
He would've just said health insurance if it was the only thing he required. Auto insurance is needed where I live if you don't want to get fined out the assignment or go to prison.
Liam King
I was at fault in an accident. It was enough to replace the car and there were no injuries. Freak accident on the highway during a road trip. If I'd saved what insurance costs me and paid out of pocket I would have been ahead a couple thousand dollars. My insurance is more than my car payment, even before that accident and the rise in premium that came with it.
