Oh, fuck off. I'm not one to root my phone, but you own the damn thing. Once it's in your hands, the maker should have no right to tell you what to do with it.

I think of this like game servers.

The site you're using is your platform (kbin=pc, mastodon=xbox, lemmy=ps). After that, the instances are what servers you connect to (lemmy.ca=psNA, whatever on mastodon=xboxSEA, kbin.social=pcEU. Then, federation is bringing it all together with crossplay.

Made a bit of sense to me, so hopefully this helps!

God, seeing screencaps of Minecraft with terrible hotbars, or anyone else's Destiny inventory (seriously, delete shit, it's only your fault that your postmaster is full by the end of a strike)

Damn, WD's been my go-to brand for drives for years.

Just curious, does this include posts from kbin users to lemmy communities? I'd imagine it doesn't count posts to kbin magazines, since kbin is a different software altogether (maybe posts from lemmy users to kbin magazines count).

Could 100% tell it was going to hell the past while, knew it was mainstream for several years now, ever since I started hearing radio hosts talk about Reddit. However, a few months ago I was helping my mom with something, and I glanced at her phone to see Reddit open. That's when I thought "Oh. Reddit's over".

That, and remove the 3 vids of what I searched for, then 3 vids of whatever the fuck, then shorts thay may or may not be related.

I'm not sure about Valheim, but I can vouch that No Man's Sky runs well on Steam Deck.

Hands, by virtue of being the things doing the scrubbing, should be red.

I'm the type of guy who hates New Vegas because it felt awful to shoot things (and that's why I'm still addicted to Destiny). Aiming's a bit weird, and shotguns don't have too much impact, but other than that, it's not the worst shooter I've played. I'll probably stick with it.

Some may call it heresy, but I abaolutely love thenes of old Windows on Linux. It's familiar and nostalgic at the same time. Got a Windows XP theme on my Laptop, and plan to use a Windows 7 theme on my main rig when I finally set it up with Linux.

Kbin has been so much better than what I've seen of the official app. I see what I want to see, not recommendations, and, more importantly, I can see a lot more posts at once compared to new reddit and the reddit app. That's why I don't use Squabbles, and it's why I used Baconreader and old reddit.

Me not even on lemmy.

Working now for me.

Same with Kbin.

Even then with AAA multiplayer, it's not a guarantee it's unplayable. Every Halo game on Steam works just fine, and Apex Legends was one of the first AAA MP games to support the Deck.

The thread gets ported to Gameboy

Not sure how I feel about the ranking of the RG35XX compared to the MM+ (or how they called the RG35XX weak when it can emulate some DS and PSP through Koriki). Also, the 351V higher than the 353V? Tf?

I had literally never heard of it until people were shitting on it.

No Man's Sky in general. My first time playing it was absolutely magical.

Not sure if you can still play in browser, but Town of Salem. Wasted so many hours on it.

Arknights (shout out to my kbin mag !arknights@kbin.social). It's a fun lil tower defense that you can easily pull out and grind some materials. Keep in mind that it is a gacha game, so there's definitely aggressive monetization, but it's definitely on the F2P-friendly side in terms of gacha.

Xbox One/Series controller.

I loved the 360 controller before, but once I got an Xbone, it felt like the controller was perfectly formed for my hands. The triggers felt incredible, the bumpers were fantastic, and I was addicted to the tire tread texture on the thumbsticks. Later revisions solidified my love for it, adding a 3.5mm jack and USB-C.

Hopefully people are able to realize what the corresponding platform is doesn't matter, it can be anything.

The dream is a handheld that can output 240p. Preferably with the ability to easily output it via HDMI so I can use an HDMI to Component adapter instead of Composite like most handhelds that do have support for TV Out do.

Around 2019 is when I noticed that shift.

I'd consider the new game to be retro-style, similar in vein to "boomer shooters", while I'd consider the rerelease to be a retro game on a modern platform.

Same with emulation on PC, it's a retro game on a modern platform. Emulation handhelds is where things get iffy though, I'd consider a Linux based handheld such as the Anbernic RG35XX to be a retro handheld despite being pretty new, while an Android (yes, I know it's a heavily modified Linux) handheld such as the Retroid Pocket would be retro games on a modern platform.

8BitDo SN30 Pro Wired. Shaped like a SNES controller, the buttons are nice, has a layout that plays nicely for most retro systems, has a modern amount of controls. If I were to go back in time, only thing I would change would be to get the SN30 Pro 2 for the handles instead.

Honkai Star Rail. It's kinda, uh, the default, since it's the only game that's released this year I've played lmao.

2013 for me. There definitely was a shift in volatility in 2016, but I felt there was a far more drastic shift in 2019.

Slide out controller, like the Xperia Play. I've gotten super into (at least the idea of) SBC handheld gaming, and there's just nothing quite like the Xperia Play now. Sure, there's bluetooth controllers, but I'm not a big fan of bluetooth, and the majority of the bluetooth controllers make portability a pain rather than it being a sleek package.

If you're into Pokemon, the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games are fantastic. They aren't the hardest roguelike in the world (still harder than a mainline Pokemon game though), but they're fun. The stories are also incredible (can only speak for Rescue Team and Explorers, haven't played the 3DS titles yet).

When I first joined the Fediverse I saw a decent amount of people saying that they didn't want kbin/lemmy to have email verification. Is this what they wanted? Fake growth?

The data says otherwise. Thousands upon thousands of accounts from instances with thousands of users but no to very few monthly active users. That screams bots to me.

Yep, that's how Baconreader worked too.

Bless Harvey's for Frings. I can never choose between the two so Frings has been amazing ever since I was a kid.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX. The originals were the games that made me realize gamrs could make me feel things, and DX is literally just them but with QoL changes.

Anything that released before I was born :D

In all seriousness though, any console where you could play the majority of the games and their content without an internet connection. So Xbox, Gamecube, PS2, with arguments for the Wii and DS.
