On mobile I use a Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS, on desktop and laptop I daily drive Bazzite & Aurora (respectively).

This sounds very cool, Gnome & KDE have been hard at work making sure devs have the necessary tooling to make their apps responsive. Most of Gnome Core & Circle apps and specially KDE Plasma Mobile already are responsive.

I would love to see flathub on my phone.

But it all falls flat if Google is the gatekeeper.

I can’t remember the last time a game made me intentionally laugh. I laughed my ass off about situations, bugs, but… scripted comedy?

Maybe a smile, a faint giggle, but actual laughter? I can’t remember.

It’s being developed by igalia, which is top notch. I’ve tried it on Bazzite, the available builds require no installation. It’s coming together very well.

You shouldn’t be playing any game that requires kernel level access to your PC.

Do you trust every employee at EA, Riot, Activision with your credit card details, social security number, bank accounts, home address, etc.?

Because that’s what kernel level access grants them, and more.

On top of that, a hacker could potentially exploit it to gain access too.

Did it yesterday. Feels good man.

lol, they are awesome, they will even provide you with a new lung when you need it, but you’ll have to work for a few millennia to pay for it, but hey at least they care. 🤣

Fantastic post as always @perfectDark!

I want to selfhost it but without RetroDeck sync it just isn’t worth the effort just yet at least for me.

Also, now that it can identify the checksums, does it auto organize the ROMs into the required folder structure?

That’s also my 2nd biggest entry barrier.

Well, you can always switch jobs if you want to. There are many good willed companies out there like Weyland-Yutani, Oscorp, Skynet, OCP and many more.

• Mars Matrix
• D&D: Shadows over Mystara
• Ranger X
• Herzog Zwei

Is this coming to a usable client? Like say an Android TV app or a Linux flatpak?

Is that wyvern app usable for 2d or is it only for XR?

They must have a lot of overhead for just a handful of apps. If they provided a better catalogue, it would be more popular and have a greater chance of garnering more donations.

Agreed, also CRTs ruined the future for me as well.

Public domain source IP, public domain font, hope they don’t cheap out on the rest.

This looks great

I believe that Shenmue was like a proto-GTA, by the time Shenmue III arrived… the formula was not only perfected but improved upon by the likes of the Yakuza series. For a new Shenmue to succeed, it would have to match Yakuza level depth and add the level of attention to detail like the original Shenmue entries provided. This is to say the least, unlikely in the best case, and impossible if we are realistic when considering risk, budget, current franchise strength, etc.

I devoured the first 2 on Dreamcast. Bought the 3rd, haven’t even installed it since.

If you consciously install a rootkit to play a game, you deserve whatever comes after.

• Journey
• Shadow Of The Colossus
• Shenmue 1
• Half-Life 1 & 2

What does Sonic have to do with Christianity?

Honestly I don’t understand why people keep buying ubi games. They can’t get any more cookie-cutter than that.

Playnite is better except for one thing: it didn’t install games without any use of launchers the last time I tried it a few years ago.

Heroic can download and install any game from EGS, Amazon and GOG without any extra launcher.

How is it superior? Is it approachable for kids around 7yo?

I’m not into extraction shooters and I haven’t tried it, so my POV is based on anecdotal references but this game looks Concord-level DOA.

There’s Proton for Apple sillicon IIRC

Can Grounded 1 be played offline?

I’ve seen similar reactions. Is there a particular reason why they are disliked?

Thank you for testing it! Are you using Xenia through a launcher (RetroDeck/Emudeck/Retroarch)? Are you on Windows or Linux? any setup recommendations or should I just put the bios files and rom and it’s ready to go?

Are you emulating? if so, can you please test if splitscreen works ?

Once you go Ubi, you can’t go back to a life without climbing towers.

Holy mother of GabeN, thank you SO much for putting RomM on the spotlight !

This project is so forward thinking, it deserves all the help it can get to ensure a bright future. Personally, I can’t wait for RetroDECK sync support. The day they merge that glorious commit is the day I pull my shit together and go neck deep into my ROM collection.

Unfortunately, the returns from early testing were not strong enough to support continued development.

What does this mean exactly? Why did it fail?

Please consider Ghost or Write.as, both are part of the fediverse, support markdown (meaning easy to import content from Lemmy) AND they both support public and paid-for content with ready to use payment gateways.

I don’t have much to give but I will donate to your crusade for great content.

In my case, I don’t hate them. I respect those devs, people have to put food on their tables somehow, and this way isn’t one of the worst… I just believe that by doing so, we are helping to perpetuate vicious corporativism.

Damn, that trailer looks sick. I’ll definately get it on sale.

At this point, I guess they are either ignorant, unethical, or they are just lying to themselves because they can’t resist the temptation to play their games.

Absolutely, that sounds like a real incentive. It doesn’t feel like an artificial thing.

Is there any project doing a decomp/recomp of Mario Kart 64?

Tons of reasons. My reason is that it felt like the first skate simulator. And the control scheme was freaking brilliant and intuitive. I couldn’t adapt to Session… too complicated.

I guess I’ll play SKATE on RPCS3.

But wait, you’ll be able to climb towers to unlock Ubipoints. If you grind for a year, you’ll be able to redeem them for a different colored costume.
