- Comment on What are some great retro games that I can play with my 5yo? 14 hours ago:
A GREAT game to play with kids is called “Stacking”. Looks like there’s a Linux version so you might be able to get it running on the Pi:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stacking_(video_game)
PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Windows, OS X, Linux
The gag is this…
You play the smallest of a set of Russian nesting dolls and you want to re-unite with your family.
In order to do that you have to solve a bunch of puzzles in a world filled with other Russian nesting dolls.
You can jump into any doll one size larger than you, and you can jump out to be one size smaller.
Each doll has a specific skill or ability, so by swapping bodies, you use the various skills to solve the puzzles.
The challenge is, you might find one that has the right skill, but you’re too small to jump into them, so you have to find the right chain of dolls to size up and size down to do what you need to do.

Well, define “Reasonably Priced”. I dig the Steam Deck for that kind of thing.
- Comment on New report suggests third-party Switch 2 game sales are "below estimates" 1 week ago:
There are 3rd party Switch 2 games? 🤔 I thought it was all 3rd party ports of Switch 1 games…
- Comment on is there is any Lemmy server that care about privacy(does not require email), Does not impose limits on community posts like my current instance and does not have high amount of restrictions? 1 week ago:
Lets say you find an instance that meets your requirements, given the lack of email validation, what’s going to happen is that instance will be host to trolls and spammers, top to bottom, and then it will get defederated from the rest of lemmy.
- Comment on Did nightreign flop? 1 week ago:
From the Wiki:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elden_Ring_Nightreign
“released for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on May 30, 2025. It received generally positive reviews and sold 3.5 million units.[1]”
So, first, it doesn’t matter how many concurrent players it has, it sold 3.5 million so it’s not s flop.
Second, it was released on 5 platforms, you are looking at concurrent players on Steam only.
- Comment on Captain Kirk Is Back from the Dead in New Star Trek Comic ‘The Last Starship’ 1 week ago:
Yeah, I gave up on Discovery when they went 1,000 years into the future. I did enjoy the first two seasons though!
Strange New Worlds has been more my jam.

CNN is not an antenna station. :)
- Comment on Streaming overtakes cable and broadcast as the most-watched form of TV 1 week ago:
I get live television through Sling. Piracy doesn’t really work if you want live TV.
- Comment on Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack? 1 week ago:
No, but someone going to buy 100 drones is going to raise eyebrows.
- Comment on Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack? 1 week ago:
“Without getting caught”.
- Comment on Captain Kirk Is Back from the Dead in New Star Trek Comic ‘The Last Starship’ 1 week ago:
Generations happened before the Kelvin timeline rebooted everything, so there’s no reason to think those events still happened. :)
- Comment on Captain Kirk Is Back from the Dead in New Star Trek Comic ‘The Last Starship’ 1 week ago:
Generations is out the window now since the Kelvin timeline, so why not?
- Comment on Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack? 1 week ago:
One person making a drone is far different from China staging an attack.
- Comment on Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack? 1 week ago:
Border patrol / coast guard. There’s really no way to get a large amount of drones close enough to stage the attack without getting caught.
- Comment on Marathon is delayed 1 week ago:
Having to replace or pay for all the stolen art assets will do that…
- Comment on Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack? 1 week ago:
Highly unlikely.
- Comment on Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack? 1 week ago:
Drones have an incredibly limited range, so any drone attack would have to originate either inside the United States, off our coasts, or within the borders of Canada and Mexico.
- Comment on What is your age range for dating? 🤔 😮 1 week ago:
I’m 9 years older than my kid sister. We had an agreement, she doesn’t date anyone older than me and I don’t date anyone younger than her.
We both married people in that range.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed 1 week ago:
Still too much given BL3 and pre-sequel.
I’d consider it at $40. See you on Black Friday!
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 1 week ago:
As long as they aren’t networked, there’s no problem there!
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 1 week ago:
Your business critical system will no longer be supported with security updates which will leave it vulnerable to attack.
- Comment on First/notable 3D games where you could dive below water (and walk on land) 1 week ago:
I blamed it on Altair growing up in the desert. Not a lot of opportunities to learn how to swim. :)
- Comment on Why are people gurgling the switch 2 so hard? 1 week ago:
You can’t believe everything you see on the Internet, that’s how WWI got started. :)
- Comment on What are some notable ancient Greek and Roman documents that have been lost? 1 week ago:
So much of Aeschylus is missing. He pretty much invented Greek tragedy.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeschylus
He wrote somewhere between 70 and 90 plays, of which only 7 survive.
Pretty much the same for Aristophenes, only now we’re talking comedy instead of tragedy.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristophanes
11 surviving plays (Lysistrata is LEGIT!), 30 or so missing. :(
“Frying-Pan Men” ? I want to know that story…
- Comment on Pick-ups from the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo 1 week ago:
Untold Legends is a vastly under-rated game. It’s too bad the sequel and PS3 versions were hot garbage.
- Comment on First/notable 3D games where you could dive below water (and walk on land) 1 week ago:
All of the Assassin’s Creed games… AFTER the first one.
The first one was notorious, if you so much as got a toe wet it was instant death. LOL.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I can’t imagine a point and click RPG like Baldur’s Gate or Fallout 1 and 2 being remotely playable on a Steam Deck. You pretty much have to have a Mouse and Keyboard for them. The Glide Pads will only get you so far.

That’s exactly the problem… there are thousands of games but nothing stands out the way Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon do on a Nintendo platform.
I still look from time to time on my Deck. I picked up Borderlands 2 the other day because it was free.
But what I usually see browsing are a bunch of games I can already play on other systems, plus porn games, anime games, and anime porn games.
There really isn’t one game that stands out on the Deck.
Vampire Survivors?
macOS, Windows, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Android, iOS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5En Garde? PC Exclusive, decent game, but limited and a little boring if I’m being honest.
