- Comment on Next BioShock Game Suffers From More Development Hell After Failing an Executive Review 5 days ago:
I’ve been addicted to Bioshock for so many years now. I do a yearly-ish replay of them (Infinite is my fav, which some consider sacrilege) and always hoped for more. They’re perfect Steam Deck games.
For now, I think the upcoming Judas will be a more dependable game to look forward to:
A disintegrating starship. A desperate escape plan.
You are the mysterious and troubled Judas. Your only hope for survival is to make or break alliances with your worst enemies. Will you work together to fix what you broke – or will you leave it to burn?
Judas is a narrative FPS developed by Ghost Story Games, a studio led by Ken Levine, Creative Director of System Shock 2, BioShock, and BioShock Infinite.

That’s really kind of you! Don’t expect to be inundated, it’ll be a weekly thing for whoever is in the fediverse scene, loves gaming, tech and so on, and wishes to contribute articles. I think it’s fun, so I’m glad you gave it a nod of approval!
Thanks :)

- Comment on Junk Store 2.0 has released 1 week ago:
I know its silly of me to care about down votes, this is the internet after all, and having thin skin on the internet is just crazy.
But the idea that you’re downvoting me for sharing news just strikes me as…insane. Do you not want me to share news on Lemmy? Do you think I’m the developer? If so did you not read this intro to the piece at all?
Again. Just stupid to care about being down voted, but if you’re one of those who have been, I’d love you to just speak up and explain why!

- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 3 weeks ago:
France did the ‘panties’ ads, there were three of them all up.
This one from Chile has exposed breasts, also. And far more obvious to the viewer
- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 3 weeks ago:
Ironic!
This is the purple shade of the GCN, and its one of the ‘hero’ size on SteamGridDB
But…I know, it looks like an error -___-
- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 3 weeks ago:
if it actually exists.
Its easily available, but I suppose by ‘in the wild’ you mean picking it up in a secondhand store, rather than online marketplaces. If not, have a look at buyee to pick up a bargain.
Interestingly they command a higher price than I expected on eBay.
- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 3 weeks ago:
I just wanted to actual official ones shared!
This one is not official, it was done by a girl called shysmith, she just tried her best to make a photo in the ‘style’ of the old Y2K era, and the days of PS2 ads and…everyone ended up believing it was real. She did such an amazing job of it, this one often gets shared as if it were done for Sony.
- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 3 weeks ago:
It feels VERY Quake-esque, too. So they nailed that image!
- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 3 weeks ago:
Oh this was nothing. My ‘news’ posts take me some time, and effort, which is why they’re kinda on pause right now (the 17th is when I see my specialist, get blood results, see what is next etc), so for now it’s this kinda thing - smaller!
But thank you so much, glad you enjoyed these :)
- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 3 weeks ago:
I like the Nintendo ones, there were ‘risky’ ads here, now they’re very conservative
- Comment on Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery 3 weeks ago:
There’s more, but I suppose…back then shock was a tactic, the gaming industry wasn’t as clean cut and commercialized as it is now, and they were appealing to a certain demographic?!

Watch the YouTube video I linked in that section! Its quite short, and it really shows how utterly crazy that era of car racing was. The footage is soooo worth a watch!

- Comment on For people who want to play their favorite games but are unable to, what are you currently doing? 4 weeks ago:
If you want to reach out to me for a chat, I’m happy to walk you through what your phone is capable of doing. Emulation is such a scene now, even low-low end phones are capable of doing so much now. You might now be getting winlator running to play PC games (which is no problem for some phones), but you can even play some basic Switch games. Or worst case if it’s very underpowered, you’ve got so many games from the golden age of RPG’s to play through
- SNES
- Mega Drive/Genesis
- PS1
…and so on. I know this won’t be the “…the games I would otherwise want to play on PC…” but it is still playing incredible games. So, as always, let me know. I’m happy to help with that front!

Here’s the article with no paywall!

No, they’re not on by default! It’s no error, just making it a choice rather than choosing for you.
I’m not surprised by NSL showing errors, being that it was coded with GPT.
Go to the installed game’s settings and then turn on cloud saves. It’ll have a warning telling you it’s basically in beta, but again - it’s worked flawlessly for me!

Oh gosh you’re way too kind. I wouldn’t call it that, but I am happy to share interesting things here. And I’m so lucky that you all read it and agree with me that it is worth the read!!!
Thank you so much!!!
- Comment on Developer interview: my Q&A with a PC game 'repacker' 4 weeks ago:
Totally understandable!
I appreciate you reading through these regardless :)

I guess just on Mastodon!
I tens to post there daily, and I’m trying to force myself to take a break on my regular long-form gaming news posts on Lemmy, and instead focus on my health. I have a important appointment with my specialist on the 17th so, its 50/50 odds whether I’ll make another news post here before then or not
But, again, daily on Mastodon!
And thank you so much for your kind, kind words. I feel like an imposter so often when I share these, so your words are really appreciated!
I’m so glad you liked this :)

- Comment on Sable is free on Epic until tomorrow 5 weeks ago:
I’m just over 10 hours on my desktop PC right now, playing Epic’s version through Heroic (enabling EOC overlay so that achievements are shown!)
And I’m nowhere near completing, but only because I love gliding and exploring and collecting. Its the perfect stress-free game to play :)
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 5 weeks ago:
Mobile gaming, on Android, is an interesting space right now. I used to buy flagship phones exclusively, as high spec as I could just…because I could. I played a few emulated Nintendo Switch games on them, as well as the odd Game Pass title (with a telescoping GameSir Xbox mounted controller thing) and then I realized I really had no use for them. I rarely played, and my most recent phone purchases have been mid-range.
That said, so much is now possible on Android. You can emulate everything from Switch to PS3, use pretty front-ends to use as a launcher station (a quick note of appreciation for the totally FOSS option - Lemuroid), and as unbelievable as it still is to me, you can even play full PC games like GTA V using winlator
The scene for Android emulation is incredibly dramatic with frequent in-fighting, but also pretty impressive from a technical standpoint. It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea - and that’s fine, but the mobile scene which isn’t just gatcha games hooking kids on the Play Store is so varied. Then you’ve got actually impressive games like DREDGE getting a Android release, replete with custom builds and changes for the Android system (no lazy ports!). Heck, even No Man’s Sky is coming to Android soon!
