Does it have a plot? My nostalgia gaming trip has me wondering if anyone ever made a modernized version of Escape Velocity Nova.

It kind of does, its pretty sandboxy. But the idea is your searching for a world named Eden, and there's clearly a hostile race and pirates taking down ships. But the extent of the story is a bit of detective work when your finding data pads.
Right now, I'm more concerned with my survival, I'm not even armed yet

Ocarina of Time Randomizer has consumed my life. The fans who created it have made it really user friendly to create a random seed, made lots of quality of life changes in the game (text speed, skipping cinematics, boots and Ocarina on D-Pad for quick use), and there's even a google maps style map made for the game to help you find the spots you missed. A more recent addition was a "triforce hunt" where items might be triforce pieces, and you can collect an amount you set to finish the game. It completely changes how you think about the game.
I highly recommend it if you're a fan of the game. If you're not sure where to start, send me a message!
You're welcome I'm restarting for about the 4th time because I've done at least one crucial mistake and been over aggressive in building my ship, so when it was time to build a engine, I was out of materials and couldn't build more because I'd strip mined the system.
But every time you start fresh, you get a little better at it.
Oh and Water, and Energy rods are king.
And when you build certain things be careful to read the description. The farms and the industrial stuff almost need to be in sealed room with environmental controls.
My ship has become a monster with three hyperdrives.
While you can get a lot of materials through stripping derilicts and mining. You really need to figure out your manufacturing or you run out of blocks in a hurry and you usually can't get a lot in traces.
By the way, I know its tempting, but eating alien meat is bad m'kay

I decided to take Epic Games up on their offer of a free copy of Civ 6. I've never played a Civ game before. I knew it was complicated, but I started it up right away and figured I'd just screw around with it. I couldn't figure anything out on my own, so I watched 4 hours of Civ 6 for beginners videos on youtube two nights ago. Then I played for 6 straight hours last night.
Now I'm at work, exhausted because I think I dreamed about moving my archers and boats around all night...
I'm not sure if getting this game for free was the best thing ever, or the worst.

I actually think Civ 6 is the most accessible one in the series (keep in mind I played 3 and 4 but not 5). Way less micro-managing.

Welcome to the conundrum that is Civ. "Holy crap this game is amazing! Holy crap I have to work in 3 hours!" Blessing and curse all wrapped into one.
This could go in the gear grinder thread but probably will find more empathy here. I bought an old PS Vita a year ago and was pretty happy playing it with the few games I could find. Now my only options to buy games for it are the PS Store and games are still unreasonably expensive for a digital download of a game for a moth balled system. So now I want to get the homebrew stuff rocking on it but I am just computer savvy enough to fata up my laptop and brick the Vita. Anyone had success with Henkaku that can explain this process to me?

Happy to hear this. I was pretty casual, Civ 4 was the first one I ever played and I loved it. Bought Civ 5 but could never even finish it once..just way too much going on for kind of a newb (that and i think it kept crashing). Just DL'd 6, excited to try it out
I think the issue is that literally everyone is about to have it on Epic now, not steam.

Conceptually, it's just flashing custom firmware onto your device like Tomato or DD WRT on a router. The difference is support by the manufacturer and Sony doesn't support it so it's do it at your own risk.
If you flash a shoddy/corrupted firmware, then it can cause problems. Most people will try to hard reset their device if the flashing process gets stuck which ends up causing problems no different than a legit firmware if your device shuts down in the middle. Most times if it gets stuck, the PSP is recoverable. It will just take time. Research how to recover before starting a flash.
I've done this before on the original PSP. I recall it was kinda time consuming and I read and reread a ton of stuff/verified the file several times before going forward, but end result was totally worth it.

Got it to work which is super cool. There are a couple of real mysteries I will have to work through though. And next project is to get a card adapter so I can store some games on this thing. I got so stuck at one point and thought I had lost her but in the end, I missed one little step, went back and everything went smooth-ish after that.
