One of my recent retro game moments
  • I love photos like this. Looks cozy!

  • Windows vs Linux
  • It's planned but not implemented yet. I played this morning and it works fine as usual.

  • Is Bluetooth getting worse on Linux?
  • Did you install powertop recently? I had issues with Bluetooth with it.

  • ...
  • I remember using this a lot in my first year of migrating from Windows to Linux. It was engrained into me that my system will degrade if I don't "clean" it regularly, like on Windows.

  • NES, Game Boy – October 2023 Game Updates – Nintendo Switch Online
  • Very surprising to see Castlevania Legends there. Konami usually likes to pretend it doesn't exist.

  • Favourite Gaming Youtube Subs?
  • ThorHighHeels' videos have a relaxed, positive vibe that I always enjoy. He usually covers lesser known games from the mid 2000's and his appreciation of visual design, music, and aesthetics really resonates with me. My favorite video of his is the one on Mysterious GBA Games.

  • Managed to save a bungled GBA SP board.
  • Wow, that is seriously impressive! Well done 👏

  • What earplugs do y'all recommend? My sensory issues putting things in my ears makes most of them unpleasant for me.
  • I got a pair of Bose QuietComfort 45 recently and I'm very happy with them. Very comfortable and they work great.

    edit: after reading your post more carefully, I realize it's probably not the answer you're looking for 😶

  • A border I made when I played Wizardry
  • It's the NES version 😅 The sprites make for a great argument for using shaders. I couldn't find a fully unfiltered picture online, but you can still tell that this skeleton looks a little sillier 18-wizardry-proving-grounds-of-the-mad-overlord-gameplay

  • I upscaled this Game Boy boxart because no high-res scans existed online (Koi Wa Kakehiki / 恋は駆け引き)
  • Thank you. I used waifu2x to upscale the best image I could find online, then spent hours in GIMP cleaning it up manually. I'd assume AI upscalers could save a bunch of time but I did this just for fun anyway 🙂

    The game itself isn't very fun or interesting at all imo, but I do love this artwork. It's a simple puzzle game where you draw a path from your character to the girl, while avoiding letting the bully reach her. The title translates to something like "Love is a Strategy Game"

    New Raspberry Pi 5 comes with PCIe 2.0 x1 interface and power button
  • Out of context, "a power button" is really funny to see advertised as a feature.

  • NewPipe | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
  • I've been using NewPipe exclusively for about 4 years now and I'm very, very happy with it. I take background audio playback, downloading, adblocking, sponsorblocking et.c. for granted now and often forget how crippled the vanilla YouTube experience is.

  • I love the character art from Brandish (Snes)
  • they remind me of the Undertale shopkeepers! very detailed closeups, whereas the game itself has a much simpler style

  • An unfortunate image i found in my screenshot folder (Atelier Ryza 2)
  • Yeah, there's a lot of them, but they're usually in self-contained trilogies that aren't related to the others. I've only played Ryza 1 & 2, and plan on getting the last one later this year!

  • Wow over 100 subscribers!!!!
  • idk what client you're using but if you can find the sidebar, the numbers are available there

    edit: on the home instance only, as someone in the comments pointed out 😅 my bad

  • Keiji Kinebuchi Pokemon Cards
  • Wow haha you just resurfaced memories I didn't know I had.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • I'm too young and missed out on its release, but I've played some P99 and man EverQuest must have been an absolutely magical experience in 1999.

  • Amazing upbeat song from a Klonoa game on GBA that never left Japan

    Since the GBA lacked dedicated sound hardware, I think this is very impressive, even despite the bitcrushed vocals 💀

    "Cactus" from Final Fantasy Legend/SaGa (1990)

    So I've been playing the first SaGa game, following the announcement of the new SaGa: Emerald Beyond that will release in 2024. I've never played a SaGa game before, but I love how rough around the edges and unconventional it is. You really have to use your imagination a bit sometimes and not interpret everything literally. The whole game kind of feels like a bizarre fever dream. This "cactus" included.

    Fixing E.T. for the Atari 2600
  • Interesting! I have no intention of playing it, but I've always thought people must be exaggerating how bad it actually is.
