Is anything in the tech world interesting or good any more? I remember being excited 20 years ago for new inventions. Now its slop, slop, slop, authoritarian surveillance fascism, slop slop slop
Foss projects and indie games are about the only interesting thing now.
I’ll go back to 2005 soon as someone invents a Foss time machine !

This knowledge does me no good if I can’t go to one of these exoplanets and meet a nice Orion lady.

Handheld emulation devices
deepflows@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
Yes! Super interesting devices, a friendly community, lots of development and you’ll be playing games made before gaming went full enshitification.

Once we created standards to create everything we see today it became to expensive to invest in alternative home grown solutions. Sadly with the focus of maximizing profit over innovation most ideas just revolve around the existing infrastructure in place to do what they want. I hate it as well and everything feels very stagnant.

That and large shitty patent laws

I still tune into TechQuickie every once in awhile and I noted how start the difference is between shows like that today and five years ago. All news is bad news anymore.
CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Is that the show with the liars and thieves?
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s a show about tech news?

No, you’re not allowed to like anything created by someone who’s ever done something wrong on the internet!

I like to see what’s going on in the handheld emulator world!
mlg@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
AYN Thor is a awesome DS handheld, but they too also warned that their supplier is bumping RAM prices heavily, so they expect the price to go up too

Oh true emulation in general is very awesome

I’ve been enjoying the advances in escape room games. mc2games makes some good ones.
The HL2 VR mods are pretty good if you have a headset. Reloading a gun with your physical hands is pretty immersive.
There’s been a silent rise in mystery-themed (Ace Attorney adjacent) games in the East recently. The mysteries get better and better.
Russian games have been innovating a bit to attract Western customers. “No I’m not Human” is one of those. There are also some Russian visual novels that are good thrillers.
Of the games China makes that aren’t gachaslop, some have tried to innovate. This one syncs what the character doing with real world time. So if it would take 10 minutes for a character to do something, it would take 10 actual minutes. The game doesn’t even have to be on during those 10 minutes, so it can be something where you check in every now and then.

Oh man I miss old flash-based escape the room games. Remember the Crimson Room?

As a huge fan of the genre, got any recs that didn’t get too popular? I’ve played Danganronpa, Ace Attorney, Nonary games, and have other Kodaka games in my backlog. Other than those do you know any great ones?

There’s a recent one that came from China called The Real Face of a VTuber. It’s pretty good, and borrows heavily from Ace Attorney gameplay.
I’m pretty sure this one ( The Bygone Days of Her and the Flowers ) is a Genshin spinoff with Ace Attorney gameplay and surprisingly high production value, but there’s no English translation.
Whispers of the Luminaries counts for sure, and appears to be coming out either this month or the next. It also has a great demo to try out.
In Rose Academy, you collect clues on the murder, but I haven’t found anything where you actually use the clues in the demo. It’s unquestionably a mystery, though. This game comes out early April.
