an analysis of historical video game availability shows that only 13% of classic video games are currently commercially available across consoles and time periods, and only 3% of games prior to 1985
Some one game that comes to mind is one of my favourite RTS’s Lord of the Rings Battle for Middle Earth (and it’s expansion Rise of the Witch King). It was published by EA. Unfortunately they no longer have the license for LOTR content so they can’t legally sell this game and you can’t buy it. Thankfully it’s still alive due to the piracy community and you can download a copy with all the cracks and whatnot.
HOW, Bobby?
Explain to me EXACTLY how Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard will ENABLE competition?
You ARE the “entrenched market leaders,” you unlikeable buffoon. #gaming
@Graham_LRR I love the “our merger will benefit workers…” as if Microsoft won’t immediately layoff hundreds or thousands of Activision Blizzard employees like it’s done to most other parts of its business for the better part of the last few years.
I noticed on the https://joinmastodon.org/servers that we aren't in any categories. There's #Hobby, #Gaming or #Technology categories where the other anime/manga focused servers are on (anime.kona.moe, urusai.social, ani.work). :blobfoxbongo:
Hey there fellow mastodoner
when posting to lemmy, your 1st sentence will be the title of the post
any text on the 2nd and next sentences will be part of the body
so I'd suggest placing the @ (tag/mention) after the 1st sentence
Probably my favorite feature this console generation are the reduced loading times. It still blows my mind every time I start a game. Almost like in the good old times.
There is nothing more annoying than long loading times.
@kiwiguy And remember Kbin in particular doesn't even have a mobile app yet. There's the website and a PWA pseudo-app, but once it can be used properly from phones I expect an even bigger jump in usage.
In case any folks who are on a lemmy instance instead of kbin see this post (Hello new users!), boost is a kbin feature, which is a different type of “software” than lemmy. The main kbin instance is kbin.social , which can interact with both Lemmy and Mastodon instances
tl;dr - kbin is different than lemmy. They all talk to each other though. Boost is kbin only
@AlteredStateBlob@dumples@tymon also despite it being a Seth McFarlane product, The Orville is very much not "Family Guy In Space" and while it is pretty hilarious, it can go into some REALLY heavy territory, especially in S3.
Absolutely, yeah. I like the levity of it and the recurring jokes, but they do tackle a whole lot of really difficult topics and do it really, really well. That's how it's very Trek like and why I love it.
Not to mention: It's actually nice and bright. I always loved that about old Star Trek. Why does modern Star Trek insist on everything looking like the inside of Darth Vaders helmet?
