I’m no professional, I just love gaming news
Judging by how these posts are taken here, I think once you’re done vacationing, you could look into doing this professionally.
It’s cool that Breath of Fire IV has that tag saying that the game was picked up due to the dream list, but I’ve got some concerns about what GOG will or won’t touch. Someone here on Lemmy pointed out correctly that these are always the PC versions of games in the Good Old Games program. Several of the games they’ve picked up recently are games that I only ever thought of as console games and didn’t know that they had PC versions. The problem with that is that up until approximately a few years into the life of the Xbox 360, it was quite common to have a PC version that didn’t resemble the console versions of the same title at all. For instance, the Ghost Recon Advance Warfighter games on PC have the same stories and voice lines, but the levels and gameplay mechanics are totally different. Spider-Man 2, based on the movie, is immensely important in video game history, but only the console version; the PC version is widely considered to be garbage. 007: Nightfire is on the dream list, but everyone there is sure to mention that the one people want is the console version. Anyway, I hope they can figure this out and start getting some classic console games saved just as well as the PC versions, and I hope that the PC versions they’re choosing aren’t compromised compared to the ones that are so fondly remembered.

This comes up a little more often than I’d have expected actually!
I’ve had people ask if I’m going to have my own site for these, or perhaps just host it elsewhere to make something like RSS easier. I’m not for now…I like the idea of supporting Lemmy and FOSS in my own small way. I like that my posts, as insignificant in the long run as they are, are just on just Lemmy. If that makes sense anyway.
Also a small (well, maybe sizable) part of me feels quite awful thinking I just spot interesting projects and creations others create and then just write my own thoughts on them and…idk, it’s not my ‘own’ work?
Something along those lines, in any case. Imposter syndrome, I’m sure. Thank you so much though for your thoughtful and sweet comment. I really appreciate it!

Soo… journalism?
In any case, do whatever makes you happy, whether remaining solely on here or creating your own thing from this like a website or blog. Your content is among the best on the platform and I hope you know how much we all appreciate you.
