FU for old pooh. I still got my nes from 87

SidewaysHighways,

i hung on to every single console my family had growing up!

vrighter,

I have an atari 2600 my dad passed down to me. I also have all other playstations, a switch, a wii, a steam deck and a pc.

Nothing makes me smile more than that Atari (except for the zx spectrum, also given to me by dad)

SidewaysHighways,

that is excellent! good times with my pap and I playing Double dragon 3 on NES and gradius 3 on super nintendo!

Hasherm0n,

Came here to say the same, fuck yeah

Notyou, do gaming w Friends from Afar

Not sure how true this is, but it reminds me of my old Scrabble type friend. The app was wordfued and her name was lovechild83. We played so many games. I kept rematching her because other people weren’t nearly as good. She challenged me and the games were near 50/50. I hope she is doing well. I stopped playing that app after like 5-7 years.

Hope you are doing well lovechild83.

Genius, do games w Developer interview: my Q&A with the creator of Lutris

What the fuck? The logo is an otter? I thought it was a cowboy!

I’ve always thought it was an otter, but never up till now have I questioned why it’s stolen an orange. They’re not the most citrus-loving of creatures.

I mean it’s in the name, Lutris. I am trying really hard to see a cowboy now though.

Genius,

The orange is a face, the white is hair, and the brown is a big cowboy hat.

That doesn’t even make sense. What cowboy hat wraps around to the chin?

I haven’t played Life is Strange is so many years but these pictures still brought back memories. Great post!

Just be careful. If a quest giver gives you a time limit, like a letter saying “get here in one month”, they mean it. It’s possible to silently fail the main quest this way, but it’s also possible to get back into the main quest line via some other quest paths into it.

It’s all fairly complicated. Thankfully failing doesn’t stop you from exploring the world, interacting with NPCs, or doing other quests. You can always use the console to restart the main quest line quests when you’re ready.

I’ve been trying to stick to the deadlines assuming they’re being serious, it’s good to get some confirmation though. I assumed they were since i already knew you could just straight up decline the main story and then not be able to pick it up again

Prox, do games w Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style?

I mean, this is just Cassette Beasts, and it is indeed a damn good game.

mesamunefire,

Such a good vibe game.

jonjuan, do games w What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games?

I got echo the dolphin for Sega genesis when I was about 8. I don’t know how much of the game I got through, but thinking back it couldn’t have been more than a few percent. And I played that shit for hours trying to figure out where to go next.

ReasonablePea,

Holyshit I forgot this game existed! I had the exact same experience, no idea what I was doing but for some reason I kept playing

VitoRobles, (edited )

I still have the fond memory of the Ecco the Dolphin being called like game of the year by many magazines. So I begged my uncle to rented it from Blockbuster. First few days, I struggled. Then I asked to extend the rental. After a week, I gave up. Game was bs. I played Nintendo hard games.

A decade later, I decided to read about Ecco and how brutally unfair it is and yeah, fuck that game.

lowered_lifted,

I found the way to progress once, you have to like flip up out of the water and across to some other part of the level. I couldn’t ever remember how I did it afterwards though.

prettybunnys,

Yeah you have to free Willy yourself but before that you have to … do some sort of katamari thing(?)

@Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works avatar

I really need to try it again with a guide, I want to see the wild shit after that first damn level.

Control had me wandering around.

zymagoras777,

That’s one of the best games I’ve played with one of the worst map designs I’ve ever seen.

dumblederp, (edited )
@dumblederp@aussie.zone avatar

I actually gave up because I was lost in an office most of the time. It was just dull.

DamienGramatacus,

Surely that’s the point though. Isn’t the map design part of the Tower of Babel madness vibe?

Protoknuckles, (edited ) do games w All of this month's 'free' games with Prime Gaming

Sweet, mostly gog codes! I don’t use epic.

EDIT - Also, SW galactic Battlegrounds is GOAT.

As of today, this is the highest rated game of 2025. Really impressive ratings, I hope I can find some free time to play it later.

icecreamtaco, (edited ) do games w I want a law for PC games to be offered in physical versions again
@icecreamtaco@lemmy.world avatar

Plastic cases, discs, etc are expensive and degrade over time. Consoles will break down. 50 years from now there’ll be too much history to keep making copies of everything worth saving. If we do want a video game preservation law, make it digital.

Emulation and piracy should be legal for games older than ~20 years, or if the parent company goes under. Online games should be required to make an offline mode patch before shutting down.

As a related example, my parents have a bunch of bookshelves packed with everything they bought over the years. And as a kid I never touched any of it because the books had become all gross and yellowed. Physical game archives will last a couple decades longer but in the end it’ll be the same result.

didnt even think about that… but how do university libraries for example then keep up their valuable - or even more interesting - their non valuable old inventory? Never thought that degration was THAT potent

@pory@lemmy.world avatar

CDs and DVDs are digital media. There is no degradation of the content when you convert a fragile physical disk into a dumped ISO, and the dumped ISO can be stored on an arbitrarily large number of devices. Stuff like physical books or analog media (vinyl records, for example) are worth caring about physical degradation for, but a “physical copy” of a PC software disc is just a more fragile way to store the exact same ones and zeroes that can be stored on actually resilient media.
