I have a really tough time convincing myself to play a game through emulation if I have already have access to the game in a way that I can use the original controller. But most of the time that translates to me just never playing it because I need to hook it up to a TV…and most of them I can even just play anytime, anywhere if I get over that! So I need to take my own advice and get over it so I can at least just play the damn games.

I was actually just learning about the MiSTer project, it sounds really neat. Maybe a bit prohibitively expensive as of now, but if you have the funds it sounds like the best way to go. Solves tons of the issues that I have for my retro goodies!

That’s wonderful news! I hope that you’re feeling okay otherwise and that it wasn’t a scare based on symptoms that you don’t have answers for yet.

Not a bad week so far! My dad had a pretty big surgery last week but was able to go home on Tuesday, which was a relief to all of us. Otherwise enjoying the teacher life still on Summer vacation, finished playing Life is Strange and still jamming on Diablo IV.

Is ‘There Is No Game’ compatible with your iPad? That’s been one of my favorites!

It may not be the laptop, but it’ll always be something else. “He got off easy!” “Wonder what strings Biden pulled to get this deal through…” “Trump would have NEVER done this for one of his kids!” Blah blah blah.

It’s always onto the next thing for them.

Personally, I think the new art looks incredible! It manages to stay true to the original style of the SNES release, but looks modern and can show off a ton of personality. As long as the gameplay is still great, and I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be, I think there is plenty of space for both releases to coexist.

Plus considering Nintendo added Link’s Awakening DX on NSO despite the Switch remake having already been released, it seems like they think so too.

BREAKING: Apple is filing a legal action on the folk lore of Johnny Appleseed, requesting changes to the tale. Johnny’s name will be changed to Timmy Apple, a reference to Apple’s CEO Tim Cook. It also states that instead of planting apple trees, Timmy is distributing iPhones, iPads, and MacBooks; and rather than them being free, Apple will be charging recipients market price for each item.

-Apple, probably.

Mostly that it was a GBC game being released in 2023 with the website being the assumed location it would be played. I honestly figured it was just a generic file type that was made in the style or with the constraints of the Game Boy Color, not that it was actually a Color game.

I dig the trailer! The new maps look pretty and the gun customization looks rad if it isn’t all stuck behind MXTs. I can’t believe it has taken a year and a half to bring Infection to Infinite though.

I know what you mean, but even the idea of “getting into Star Citizen” doesn’t make sense to me because, well…what in the world is there really to get into beyond the few demos they released?

For the one other person who might be wondering, the game works on CFW as well!

OlliOlli World is easily worth the price of admission! NBA2K is a great basketball sim too, assuming you avoid the ultimate teams and have the hard drive space as well.

I would love to see a new Skies of Arcadia game on modern hardware!

While he’s probably right, the blackout is giving Reddit users the chance to return to old sources of news and entertainment, or encouraging them to try new communities like Lemmy. Ideally the blackouts continue, but I think the biggest threat to Reddit is a long-game when other alternatives become viable.

Man I definitely need to download this when I get home today!

I think Blizz is still doing PvE in a similar vein as OW1’s PvE events but utilizing some of what they worked on, but there won’t be a full-fledged story mode for PvE anymore.

Man I’m so excited for this! I missed the original; the name never really struck me as interesting which made it blend in with all of the shovelware that plagued the DS. Really excited for it to have a second chance at life on Switch!

I never really used Twitter to begin with, minus to follow some news, protests, and a few NBA players. I wouldn’t mind Twitter having some competition though so I could drop it entirely!

It is, but it sort of depends on if you’re on Lemmy to pass the time or to see if it’s a platform you’d be able to migrate to if you choose to. I’m personally hoping that Lemmy becomes a viable alternative that can be my primary community board, and maybe return to Reddit only for the couple of communities that don’t have suitable replacements yet.

I’ve done the same thing, but I think I’m finally used to not opening RiF. I just miss a few bigger communities, but otherwise Lemmy has been a fine alternative. Hopefully it continues to grow!
