• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  while i don’t have one of these handhelds, i do have a 2ds xl and i had a steam deck that i eventually sold. for me it’s mostly size. i took it to three countries and several states and it was mostly just a burden to carry the deck around, meanwhile the smaller device was easier to toss in a bag.

  part of my choice was also that i don’t play a lot of modern games so i didn’t need the horsepower that the steam deck provided. it’s all nuance and preference, i think.

  sounds like you’ve made up your mind. wnjoy windows 11!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe try bazzite? i’ve found it to be a better experience than nobara and steam games run fine for me, aside from the obvious big titles that have anticheat issues.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  battlefield 2042… unless i have a squad or some friends, i rarely play the objective. i mess around with gadgets, try to fly the wingsuit to weird places, try to launch vehicles where they don’t belong, try to find clever ways to kill people, whatever. my score is always trash and my team hates me but i’m usually having a great time.

  Castlevania: aria of sorrow, more raycrysis from the ray’z cronology, and I might finally buy the first leynos port for ps4.

  where is the line between patient and retro gamer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  things like dsda improve the game so much. It’s hard to go back to the original game files.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosted podcast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe the reality is somewhere between them marketing things but also being really passionate about something. good observations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosted podcast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  thanks for this bit of history. I had no idea joe was involved with Jupiter previously but it explains how he and Alex seemed to know each other.

  I’m glad that Joe’s podcasts are still going. I find Chris and the Jupiter crew insufferable to listen to. the episodes feel like a mix of ads and cryptobegging between brief overly animated bits of content.

  louder for the people in the back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trojan Room coffee pot - Wikipedia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Love the trojan coffee cam!

  A couple decades ago when I was an office drone, I badly wanted to rig up something similar but the way the cabinets were arranged it was too difficult. The easier system was whoever went to the break room would knock on the wall if the pot was full.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you actually find fediverse boggers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  read.write.as shows posts from users on that platform. maybe a good place to start looking. at any rate, it’s pretty ad-hoc and manual because, while it federates, you’re not going to see activity other than posting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  DoDonPachi Resurrection

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What games did you complete in 2024?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ketsui Deathtiny 1CC in Deathtiny mode.

  Danmaku Unlimited 3 (sadly on two credits)

  Titanfall 2

  sadly it looks like the number of platforms you can sign into are really limited. would be nice if they let you specify an instance. a good start, nonetheless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're Back!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad I didn’t notice. Welcome back, all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Battlefield 2042 (xbox series s), Danmaku Unlimited 3 (steam), Ketsui Deathtiny (ps4), and eFootball (android/xbox, though I’m not sure that one is in the right place here).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You Should Know About Radio Free Fedi!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  radiodroid is also great. it’s an interface for radio-browser.info

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You Should Know About Radio Free Fedi!⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  have these streams been added to radio-browser.info?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I lose the spread gun, I start over.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  MUSHA has this with the orb circle shield/weapon thing (I never learned the name). I used to think this was bad game design but even if it was an accident it’s interesting trying to bend your way around a game to keep from picking up stuff you dont want.
