- Comment on The Digital Plague: When World of Warcraft Accidentally Simulated a Pandemic (my article!) 4 days ago:
Thank you!
Video is not for me. I’ve got a soft spot for writing content, since so few spaces even bother these days. And those that do are generally ad-filled, or just re-posting media releases from companies. I think what we’re doing is more unique!
Gardiner did however record one of my articles as a podcast two days back, which is (as far as I can tell) the exact article but just in audio form. So that’s something new for us!
My focus is more developer interviews, as well as (recently) retro handheld reviews. I both know and am known by most of the developers in the Linux, gaming and emulation space. So being able to leverage my friendships into sharing interviews with them gives me joy!

- Comment on The Vision Behind iiSU: An Interview with iiSU Developers (my article!) 4 days ago:
Not so sure if this is public knowledge or not, but they’ve been selling around 1,000 of these per day just one one platform where they’re available to buy on.
The Thor is one of the few handhelds to have appealed to people outside of then retro handheld scene!

Check mate!

Thats AYN’s Thor! And it is amazing. Perfect as a modern-day 3DS replacement, with some slight caveats

If you’d like to read my review on them, I was sent one last year to review :)

Thank you so much for saying so! That’s very kind of you!
- Comment on The Untold Story of Classic Games: Inside ZOOM with CEO Jordan Freeman 6 days ago:
It really is.
And the irony of someone saying this from their couch about a CEO who deals with running a game company each day is…strong.
Its such a weird thing for people to focus on.

- Comment on Epic Games needs Fortnite players to "help pay the bills" as the multi-billion-dollar company raises V-Bucks prices while making Battle Passes and Crew way worse in value 1 week ago:
This is pretty interesting to me. I know I’ll get downvoted for this, because the Epic hate is just so strong everywhere. But honestly, I think they need to improve the launcher, not sunset it.
I get it, that sounds obvious. But for 99% of their PC users who aren’t us: people who care about Linux, care about open-source, care about digital ownership and platform freedom, they’re just using the Epic Launcher to play the free games each week. Epic’s reasons are pretty obvious: give away games to lock in users. But I’ve talked to so many users throughout my time covering Steam Deck news for whom PC gaming would just be too expensive without those weekly giveaways.
Anyway, my caffeine-fueled point is this: I just wish they’d put some of their incredible wealth into building a better launcher.
…and maybe into making some better decisions along the way.

I’m on mastodon.social and I have a solid amount of followers, I’m active on there every single day, not once has it felt like I need to move from it
I tried really hard to read through whatever point this blog was trying to make but it really needed some editing

And how crazily good this is, even by today’s standards, compared to the others from that era!
They really did change everything all without really meaning to :)

- Comment on The Anatomy of an Impossible Port: Bringing Dead Cells to the R36S 2 weeks ago:
Not unbelievable at all!
The R36S achieved a strange sort of cult status a long time ago. They managed to break out of a very niche hobby and appeal to regular people. They’re sold in kiosks, on TikTok, in regular phone stores around Asia and are now easily the most bought retro handheld (in many variations)
That they bring gaming to so many is a great thing, and now thanks to bmdhacks you can add one more game to the list!

Thanks for following along with what I write, that means a lot to me!

Nice to see you dropped by!
…even nicer to see you’re on Lemmy, you kept this one quiet!
- Comment on The Anatomy of an Impossible Port: Bringing Dead Cells to the R36S 2 weeks ago:
God. Damn. It.
Hahahahahah, its basically tradition that Gardiner finds a bunch, and then someone here on Lemmy points something out.
That one’s on me, I’ll fix it when I get back in from walking me cat (harness time!) around my yard. Thanks for pointing it out, and for all your kind words!!!

…for once my embarrassing unending typos save me -____-
- Comment on The Anatomy of an Impossible Port: Bringing Dead Cells to the R36S 2 weeks ago:
Fucking what?
I have not written this with A.I.
This gets so exhausting.
-
Check my post history, filter by my very first posts and go through each and every one of them. I’ve written (exclusively on and for Lemmy for a solid 6 months or so) for a very long time now. This might give you an indication I write myself.
-
I have each bit of progress from writing this article myself. The framework we run for the site saves each increment, so we can revert if there is an issue down the track. Each. Step. Writing. This. Is. Saved.
-
Its funny how this kind of bullshit claim gets thrown about, these LLMs are trained on writers. What I write might remind you of whatever A.I. you love to use, but the reason is that these take what we write and then replicate it. They are trained on us.
-
I’ve got plenty of very close friends who I can get to chime in with how trustworthy I am, and how my writing is my own. I’m sure he’ll cringe at me saying it, but Jason Evangelho (former lead Linux tech writer for Forbes) is a close friend who will swear to me writing what I do.
I hate this shit.

- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem currently peaking at over 300,000 players on Steam 2 weeks ago:
I’m one of them!
Well…kinda. I have zero interest in Resident Evil outside of Raccoon City, and I’m a very recent player.
RE4 onwards just took things to a location and direction I have no interest in, so seeing this one take me ‘back’…I’m in!

Why bring a game that isn’t available on the PSP, to the PSP?

And it still looks futuristic even today! I love the slim low-profile thumbstick, making it actually travell-y and pocketable (well, depending on your pockets I suppose!). Design-wise its up there in the top three for me!

- Comment on The Developer the Handheld Scene Depends On: An Interview With Gamma 3 weeks ago:
I’m sorry you felt this wasn’t quite up to standards!
Gamma’s baby was born prematurely, and he had an emergency visit rushing back to the hospital throughout the time we’d set aside for this little interview, so for whatever it counts things were quite chaotic. Also, baby is home and fine now!
