Nuke_the_whales , to retrogaming in It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible.

This is like people who insist building your own PC is easy.

No. It’s not.

It is if you know everything about it sure, but that applies to most things.

I don’t care about your raspberry Pi that I have to house, program, etc. I just wanna pop in a game and have it work. Easy peasy

bitwolf ,

I agree that it’s easy in the sense that you can learn enough to do it via YouTube.

It’s certainly not always easy to actually do the thing though.

Sure it ain’t as easy as just using a console, but batocera on pi is ridiculously easy compared to most other solutions:

  1. Download the batocera image
  2. Flash it with raspberry pi image writer
  3. power on the pi
  4. connect a Controller
  5. connect it to network
  6. the pi will automatically appear as network share, just drag and the Roms
  7. play

If you already have used a pi and disregard the download time this can easily be done in less than ten minutes. I know first hand using something like a Gameboy/DS is way more convenient, but compared to how long it took me to get the game running that came with my Xbox one that’s at least twice as quick (not even considering Xbox 360 games on one) so I’ll gladly take the time to learn how to setup and then do it

Makes me remember this one time in English class in France where one student called him Jean-François Kennedy. The whole class had a good laugh, including the teacher 😅

Thanks for the red arrows, I had no idea where the joke was

A controller that looks like an old SNES with a PS2 form factor is all the retro authenticity I need

I didn’t care or know who he was …

But now? I’m cheering.

I’ll cheer for anyone who posts their cat photos.

Oh, no fucking way.

yuri , to gaming in What are your thoughts on crouch jumping?

I love it and I notice when it’s absent. The coolest thing about games as an art medium is player choice and the potential to “break the game”. Playing in a way the developer didn’t intend is probably consistently the most fun I have in games, and advanced movement tech like crouch jumps almost always creates unintentional whackiness.

I like the balance of EmulationStation + Pi. And original hardware controllers modded to work via USB.

Best of both worlds

It is not, nor can it

fckreddit , to cat in Olympic silver medalist Yusuf Dikec of Turkiye with his cat

Well, he is Turkish. It stands to reason he has a cat.

buddascrayon , to memes in Which will you choose?

Was I the only one who read “power hungry” and “mods” separately and thought it fit with how reddit is run these days? I.E. the owners of the site are power hungry. I mean, the mods are too but they don’t hold a candle to the owners or reddit.
