Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now
fartsparkles@lemmy.world 5 weeks agoNetHack takes me waaaay back. Blows my mind DevTeam are still working on it. I haven’t played in a few years. NetHack, Angband, C:DDA, etc are all games I play on long haul flights since they use the least battery and I’ve not been on a long haul since the pandemic.

Much as I like C:DDA, it does not perform terribly well battery-wise relative to what it should and looks like it should use. The game re-renders frames even without keypresses, and on top of that, each frame displayed recomputes the world state.
NetHack and Angband don’t do that.
