A new (and good) MMO on Xbox Series X.

Yes it’s fantastic. I’ve been playing some old school RPGs like chrono trigger, ff6, earthbound, and mother 3.

If you haven’t already you can run fpga cores for basically any console up to the snes/gba, then you can just load roms onto it. Check out this guide: retrogamecorps.com/…/analogue-pocket-jailbreak-gu…

bjoern_tantau, do gaming w I used to be concerned about a game being too short. Now I worry that it will be too long.
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Yeah, I feel the same. When I was younger I loved RPGs because they usually gave you 40+ hours of content just for the main story. Now I kind of dread playing them because it takes so much mental effort.

Then again, Long Covid also gave me brainfog. But I also felt that way before I had it. I guess back then my mental capacity was taken up by work.

Dude! Long COVID messed me up too, I had some serious brain fog for about six months and then it slowly lifted. I don’t think I’m the same for sure, but it’s gotten better.

I know it’s different for a lot of people so I’m hoping for the best for you!

HidingCat,

Oh damn, I wish you two well, I hope it gets better! @GolGolarion

What is an “Analogue pocket” for those of us … Out of the loop?

Raincloud,

A Game Boy clone console that can play original Game Boy (Color/Advance) cartridges with a terrific screen and support for many more systems’ ROMs via OpenFPGA.

tombuben,

It’s an expensive high end GameBoy clone, basically. It uses some specialized hardware (FPGA) to run original GB cartridges and can also run other retro consoles pretty well. It’s a bit nicer than most other handheld emulator devices that are on the market right now, although it’s limited in some other ways.

I only have analogue pockets on my pants. I didn’t even know they made digital pockets.

Oxygen Not Included. Gotta compute the rate at which dupes consume resources to adjust production. It’s so hard yet so satisfying. The dupes are extremely stupid though

Dishonored 2!
Not the whole game, just a single level where you can avoid killing and sneaking by solving the Jindosh riddle.

I play Ocarina of Time randomizers using both a tracker and my own notes. That game is pretty huge, especially when things are shuffled around.

Host something like Jellyfin and maintain it your own streaming service.
Expose it to the internet for on the go.

I always wait for a game where you manage a remote Starbase and the main part is to put together Spaceships out of parts made by yourself or salvaged from fights. So you repair and build them out of a limited amount of parts and assign them to your pilots, give them patrols or mining missions etc.

Cpt_ManlyPink, (edited )

While it doesn’t have “parts salvaged from fights”, would recommend checking out Avorion.

  • Fun ship creator ( can make as simple or as complex ship design as you want, for some extreme examples check out Steam Workshop )
  • Manage fleet of custom made ships
  • Ship design affects handling, combat performance
  • Send ships to missions
  • Fight along side your ships, control other ships with RTS-like control options
  • Has optional multiplayer

Honestly, Elden Ring. I kept a small notebook on the side to write down all the different bits I didn’t want to forget. Clues and quests and stuff like that. There were so many things if you pay attention and take care to try to piece together. It was really fun to come across something many hours later and then pull out the notebook to find my notes on it.

Stillhart, do gaming w Best "Lets Play" Series

Personally, I really like watching Nilaus play factory games. I enjoy playing the games to a point but he puts forth an amount of effort that I can never bring myself to emulate and it’s really satisfying even to just watch. Satisfactory, Tectonica, DSP, etc

hibby, do games w Where do you get your gaming news?

For general gaming news, I go with Jeff Gerstmann and the Nextlander guys. For more technically focused stuff, it’s hard to beat Digital Foundry and their methodology of focusing on the user experience over benchmark numbers. I think all of those folks have been around long enough to be above chasing the hype cycle for traffic and they all have context from decades of being in the industry. Rich from DF started working in games media in 1990 and Jeff started working at Gamespot in 1996. It’s hard to find other folks who have been in the industry that long and still working in games coverage.

Wow haha, as someone who finally got 6144 a few years ago this game really is a true gem and one of the greatest phone games of all time. 12 years ago I bought it on a whim on a lunch break, and it is easily the most played game of all time for me at this point (coming from years of cod, halo, rocket league, etc).

You honestly made my day with this post, my friends know me as the friend who still plays the weird 2048 clone, but I got my son into it too. He finally hit 768 and I was so proud lol. I am still trying to achieve a “perfect” game but the algorithm definitely doesn’t like it. Technically in the top 100 on the leaderboards lol

FlyLikeAMouse, do gaming w A love letter to Threes!

I genuinely believe that Threes! may be a perfect game - if anyone can tell me a single way it could be improved, I’d love to hear it.

I just had a look and, over the 9 years or so I’ve had it, I’ve played nearly 3000 games. I may have a problem.

bijuice,

It can be improved by not sending me 5 consecutive 2s while I’m fighting for my life on the last row of the board 😂

3000 games is mad! It really is addictive.

grhyn,

I have 27k games. I’m basically using Threes for stimming, not really trying to get any records, haha. Just very calming block sliding. Got 3072 only around 50 times and was close to 6144 a couple of those, but never got to it. Maybe one day I’ll go read some strategies on it and would try to achieve it, but for now I’m just content with what I have.
