- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 3 weeks ago:
yes, arcade stuff is lacking on my list. The few i have played where mostly on an atari 2600 and simmiliar home consoles way after the fact and the only arcade i’ve ever seen was in a holiday resort thingy :D
Zelda: yep, was surprised there was no mention of it after i looked over my “finished” list, original Zelda and ocarina of time should probably be there, maybe a link to the past. did not play breath of the wild, so don’t have an opinion on it. But zelda -> atlp -> ocarina of time is a nice showcase of 2d games transitioning to 3d, and the item based exploration and progression is found in a lot of games.
halo: i am not a console shooter guy and on pc it felt like a very good game, but atleast to me not ground breaking. through the lense of console shooters it’s probably a huge milestone.
unreal tournament: if i’d be listing my favourite games it would be there. but it did not have the impact on e-sport cs or the quakes had so it would be another technical showcase. the unreal engines became very important however.
sonic: yes, at the very least to show another take on plattformers.
gta: yeah, 3 onwards as blockbuster movie equivalents. don’t ask me why they are not on the list, no idea.
gran turismo: if we include simulators, we should also list a bunch of microprose work, richard burns rally, the microsoft flight simulators and so on. Definitely an interesting section of gaming, but not one iam part of so hard to tell what to include for it.
chrono trigger: yeah, my list lacks non western games and chrono trigger deserves to be there simply because of its ambitious scale and the fact that its one of the greatest games i’ve ever played, what was i thinking?
earthbound: never played it :(
castlevania: the early metroids and later castlevanias for what we know as “metroidvanias” today. I’ve played castlevania 1 and 2 and there is not much of what makes metroidvanias in them. fun games though.

the full book in pdf is linked on the page for free , it’s very much worth the price for a paper coppy however.
the blog is also a treasure trove of techincal details for various games :)

i think that honour might go to total annihilation.
i also remember the final fantasies on the psx having an orchestral pieces jn their soundtrack, but those might have not been performed by an actual orchestra originally.

a more tech oriented book about doom.
great read for anyone who is into programming.
- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 4 weeks ago:
shadow of the colossus seems like a great game, but i’ve never heard its music referenced as pioneer work, what did it different in that department?
- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 4 weeks ago:
oh, absolutely, rogue and nethack, they are the foundation of crpgs and dungeon crawlers.
i just fear we’d need increased security to break up the fight between groups with various definitions what ‘roguelike’ means.

Kerbal Space Program is awesome :)
Videogames are still a young medium, very diverse and changing so rapidly, that i feel like there is no established canon of ‘classics’ or ‘high impact’ works. We’ll probably end up with dozens of lists like this in such a topic, and might end up without a single game that made it onto all of them, besides tetris.
if a simmiliar question was asked in a movies community i’d bet any list with more than 10 entries would include metropolis, nosferatu, citizen kane and star wars, just because those are widely agreed upon movies that had an impact.

the last prince of persia Meschner directly worked on was Sands of Time, which is imho well worth playing.
the other 3d Prince of Persias by ubisoft upto two thrones are still good games, but they lost a bit of the 1001 nights feel. The darker parts where there in sands of time, but warrior within goes all in on dark and edgy and just loses a bit of that timeless flair and is very much a mid 2000s game.
can’t talk about ubisofts prince output after two thrones, they never found their way into my collection.

the game in the screenshot is Elden Ring.
- Comment on what video game deserves to be in a museum? 4 weeks ago:
-
tetris, because it is tetris
-
pong, and probaly other examples of early home console games
-
wolfenstein3d, doom, quake, quake3, doom3 because all of them were technical milestones, had lasting impact on the industry and they show the rapid advancement of pc gaming in the 90s and 2000s
-
the elder scrolls series, as a simmiliar showcase.
-
final fantasy 1, 6 and 7, as a showcase of jrpgs through various generations and the fmv of 7 and onwards were imho precursors of 3d rendered movies.
-
half-life, because of the impact of it’s scripted set pieces and its level design
-
counter-strike and starcraft, as the games that probably gave us professional e-sport.
-
dota, because its for mobas what doom is for first person shooters.
-
deus ex and thief, pioneered the “immersive sim” and they are great showcases of the interactive nature of games
-
Pokémon, cultural impact can’t be denied and the trading aspect is a great example of a non traditional multiplayer experience
-
various Mario Games, but definitely Mario Bros. Super Mario World and Mario 64 and probably Galaxy as a showcase of the evolution of plattformers in 2d and 3d, maybe throw a spyro or banjo kazooie in there.
-
Grim Fandango, Kings Quest, Monkey Island, point and click adventures are there very own beast and often feature actual memorable characters. I definitely think more often about Manny Calavera than i do about Gordon Freeman or any Morrowind NPC, even though i played half-life and Morrowind much more than Grim Fandango
-
Minecraft
-
super meat boy, fez, hollow knight… lots of interesting indie games and they show how much more accessible game development has become.
-
Prince of Persia and karateka, the way they were animated alone would be enough, but they also featured an actual story, they were interested in showing and featured music used simmiliar to a movies soundtrack.
-
probably much more
-
games that are a product of a very localized culture (gothic could not have been made anywhere else but the ruhrarea for example)
-
the whole military complex is missing (from Mil Sims like Operation Flashpoint to actual recruitment vehicles like Americas Army)
-
more modern games, which i just don’t know or that have not been rattling around in my brain for long enough, but baldurs gate 3, the last of us, or alan wake would probably end up on my list in a couple of years.

- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 1 month ago:
codifying in law that your customers must be able to run a server for your game, when you stop running them has the consequence, that you’ll have to buy licenses that allow you to give binaries or code for those things to your customers. every middleware or library that does not allow that won’t be a viable product anymore. It’s not more dev work, it will change how licensing in game development for middleware and such will be done.
- Comment on The signatures are still coming and it's already making an impact 1 month ago:
lots of licensed or bought code in development in general, but knowing that you’ll have to provide code to the public eventually, means that you’ll have to take this into consideration when starting a project.
- Comment on Is there any open source tv focused os/ui? 2 months ago:
libreELEC, but that’s just a distribution shipping kodi.
you might be able to utilize steam big picture/steamOS with different browser shortcuts and applications added as non-steam games to open streaming services in kiosk mode or other mediaplayers , that way you’d have good controller support, if you create control schemes for various things.
- Comment on Elden Ring Nightreign’s Massive Steam Launch Tarnished by 'Mixed' User Reviews Over Lack of Duos Co-Op, Voice Chat 2 months ago:
you can queue with a single friend, you’ll just get another random player. which is not ideal, but probably not back breaking either, unless there is some stupid way to grief other players.
some of the steam reviews made me think that i literally can’t queue with a friend unless we are three people.
- Comment on Game media preservation, where? 2 months ago:
archive.org has old media of all sorts including game magazines, demos trailers and manuals.
a lot of video material has been uploaded to youtube, that was formerly hosted elsewhere. hell i’ve watched the old eoLithic frag movie from like 2002 a week ago.
vimm’s lair is also worth a visit if your are looking for old game manuals.
- Comment on Most under-utilized consoles? 4 months ago:
The n64 controller is a very cautious design.
they were not sure if people(players and devs) would utilize the analogstick and chose to design the controller in a way that it could be used in the same way established controllers were used, the n64 predates the dualshock by a whole year afterall.

Shredder’s Revenge was a lot of fun, if this has local coop i’ll buy it on release and visit my brother to punch some dudes :)
- Comment on Custom Attributes in Authentik OIDC 5 months ago:
does authentik offer an option to preview a jwt for a given user? might be as simple as that the claim is not named “ocisAdmin” or is not a toplevel entry in the jwt.
- Comment on Custom Attributes in Authentik OIDC 5 months ago:
not an authentik user, but after skimming their docs i think you have to:
- create a role “ocisAdmin” via authentiks admin interface
- give this role to a group in the admin interface or create one.
- assign a user thats supposed to be an owncloud admin to the group
it might be that you also have to define somekind of mapper to include this in the informations owncloud receives from authentik, but as i said i only skimmed the docs and would personally just try it without the mapper.
- Comment on Docker Hub limiting unauthenticated users to 10 pulls per hour 5 months ago:
oh, thats good to know, forgejo seems way nicer for self hosting than the limited gitlab open source core.
- Comment on Docker Hub limiting unauthenticated users to 10 pulls per hour 5 months ago:
distribution.github.io/distribution/
is an opensource implementation of a registry.
you could also self host something like gitlab, which bundles this or sonatype nexus which can serve as a repository for several kinds of artifacts including container images.
- Comment on Getting a Steam Deck to emulate retro games? 6 months ago:
emudeck.github.io makes setting up a lot of emulators pretty easy on the deck.
i’ve played mario sunshine and the metroid prime games on it, so i’d think most of the wii and gamecube games wont be a problem.
hell, people are playing switch and some ps3 games on it so i everything from before the gamecubes generation will probably be fine, unless the emulators for a system are not in a great state in general.
- Comment on Release Flashpoint Launcher 14.0.0 · FlashpointProject/launcher 6 months ago:
The Flashpoint Launcher (FPL) is a desktop application made for browsing, storing and launching other applications (games, animations, web apps etc.). It is specifically made for Flashpoint Archive, a non-profit with the goal of furthering archival and accessibility efforts for games, animations and other digital interactive experiences on the web.
Flashpoint Archive seems to be a collection of mostly flash media content (think games on newgrounds or kongregate in the 2000s up to the death of flash)
for any one else wondering what this is.
I’ll have to take a look if i cand find that zombie wave defense game i used to play during compsci classes or the one about shooting a hamster into space.
- Comment on Mario 64 Speedrunning Declared "Dead" After Insane Feat From "The Greatest Speedrunner Of All Time" | Time Extension 9 months ago:
i don’t get the nihilism angle. it seems to be all about selffulfilment and pushing oneself to see what one is capable of. simmiliar to triathlets, race car drivers or climbers.
