This is why I returned all my android based handhelds but kept the Miyoo Mini+. It’s a totally focused gaming experience without any fiddling around, especially if you use one of the curated ROM sets.

richard_wagner ,

I’ve seen one of these in person and the screen is super nice.

Is it worth buying if you don’t have any gameboy cartridges and would only use it for roms?

richard_wagner ,

The screen on these is super nice. Are they worth buying if you’re only going to use roms?

If you don’t get one, what device has the next nicest screen?

richard_wagner ,

Does Stormlight Archive count?

richard_wagner ,

I’ve always wanted to play Eternal Dankness. Is it any good?

richard_wagner ,

What about James Bond?

This is a great video, thanks for sending. I usually don’t watch short videos like this but this one was very interesting.

richard_wagner ,

Pleasantly surprised to see Outer Wilds here, which I just finished the base game of the other day. Starting the DLC now.

Great game!

richard_wagner ,

It’s awesome. Mainly a dialogue-based game. Drama. A lot of choices that you have to make. Emotional.

richard_wagner ,

I’m just curious, is this a Northern Lion reference?

The Matrix and Die Hard and The Dark Knight Trilogy.

Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why?

  • Maybe you no longer have time, or, there are no modern ports or adaptation.

I'll start with mine.

(in no particular order)

It seems easier to play than , but as you progress, it is actually challenging. I love the challenge.

  1. / (DOS version specifically).

If I am not mistaken, before there was the franchise, there was “Empire”. It was a fun game. There is available on , but I miss the DOS version that I played a lot.

A very fun game. Once I start playing this, time flies fast. I miss this game.

Here's a video of it, it's hard to explain this game as there are many features/gameplay “modes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBJ0q52bXJM

Modern games today are usually limited to certain themes. If it's flight, it's flight. If it's tank, it's tank. If it's strategy, that's it. Carrier Command have it all.

  1. / (DOS)

Years before the era of came. RPG-ish space game that made me felt exploring space. This was new to me then and I enjoyed it.

  1. / (DOS)

I know, we can still play this today, however, what I miss with this game is the 2 player mode.

You just play with your friend and blast each other to friendly matches and laughter.

Being able to play 2P mode, face-to-face, is something that we have taken for granted, and now we're all just virtual avatars in online games (even online multiplayer games).

So, how about you?

I loved commander keen! It really fueled my imagination.

richard_wagner ,

Agreed. I also loved UT2004 and there are still servers up if you play online. Loved the custom sniping maps with low gravity or the giant team vehicle race maps.

Honestly there are no games like these nowadays. The closest being fortnight? But that game doesn’t have any modding and being 3rd person changes the gameplay from 1st person.

richard_wagner ,

Pardon my ignorance! I wasn’t aware.

richard_wagner ,

If I have a switch and a PS5, is the steam deck worth buying?

richard_wagner ,

Cool, thanks for the advice.

So, you can basically play any PC game on the Steam Deck? And the performance depends on the game?

richard_wagner ,

I’m playing this right now (no spoilers please!) and find this game kind of scary! Fear of the unknown, etc.

richard_wagner ,

The Way of Kings.

I read all of Sanderson’s major novels in order up to this point and I’m really enjoying TWoK.

richard_wagner ,

Okay, cool! I hadn’t heard of Secret History but I’m going to check it out.

richard_wagner ,

Thanks! I actually read the whole mistborn trilogy already. I basically read through his novels in the order they were written up to The Way of Kings.

It is not Lemmy or kbin, it is the fediverse. (kbin.social)

I don't think many people understand that if they use Lemmy or kbin, they are posting to the fediverse. There are other platforms and will be more to come. Referring to a post on "Lemmy" or "kbin" is like saying you saw a post on your Windows or Mac computer....

richard_wagner ,

This is going to reveal my ignorance:

How does the federation work from a high level? On Reddit, data is stored and managed by Reddit.

How about the fediverse? If the data isn’t centrally located, what is stopping some data from just being lost at any time? Who owns the servers?

If the servers are owned by anyone who wants to own a server, I assume there will still be popular servers that get the most traffic. And if those servers have high traffic, how will they sustain that model? How do they “keep the lights on” without ads?

Thanks for helping me understand.

What are your favorite retro PC games?

For me, it was the game Rocket Jockey released by Sega Soft in '96. It was perfect. The game featured a surf rock soundtrack by Dick Dale. The entire premise of the game was to ride around on rockets and using long cables to yank your opponents off theirs. Referees were also fair play. I don’t think I’ve met anyone else who...
