- Comment on Xbox Sales Hit Rock Bottom After Historic 2024 Decline 5 days ago:
Got a retroid locket 5.
Wish I’d done it years ago. Never had more accessible gaming.
And not just retro titles. Stardew Valley, modern metroidvanias, etc are amazing on it.
- Comment on Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for iOS shuts down over "unfixable bug" 6 days ago:
Definitely. I’ve written some small games. Gave them away free on the play store.
Lasted about 3 years tops before they were removed for not supporting X, Y and Z new features.
Shame. One of them had tens of thousands of downloads.
- Comment on Games franchises that need metroidvania spinoffs? 6 days ago:
Tomb raider in 2d metrodivania would be cool.
Same with maybe Doom?

Yeah, nah
- Comment on This guy decided to "redact" his comment which probably solved my issue 1 week ago:
I did this. All my reddit posts I had a bot edit, and change the text, to say I moved to Lemmy.
- Comment on Grand Theft Auto VI and Grand Theft Auto Online Could Be Sold Separately; Rockstar Is Targeting Solid 30 FPS on Consoles, According to Former Animator 2 weeks ago:
It’s not shocking, when you consider the level of graphical fidelity they’ll be pushing on screen.
The more detail you add, the lower the framerate, on any given hardware. They will be balancing “on my God!” level graphics, with playable frame rates. The fact they’re shooting for such a relatively low frame rate, shows how hard they’re pushing the hardware.
- Comment on I have good news and bad news… 4 weeks ago:
I really like red emperor. Honestly, what would be inappropriate about eating a clown fish?

- Comment on LoZ Minish Cap Similar Games 1 month ago:
This is more arcadey, but I recommend giving Cave Story a go. The story is rich, the worlds deep. It’s a great game. It’s not the same genre, but for me, it has a similar vibe.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
There are definitely some here. I agree.
It’s not nearly as bad as reddit though. Still relatively early days.

Apple love to come in MANY years late, with older technology (see OLED for example). Once it’s cheap.
And claim REVOLUTIONARY!
And here we go again.

We all knew the year of Godot was coming, but, here it is.

Well done everybody!

Thank you so much. That is my concern. However, I’m willing to give it a try as I can still play it on PC. Thanks again for your feedback.
- Comment on Caves of Qud 1.0 OUT NOW! 2 months ago:
Oh. May I ask your thoughts on the screen size, with this game?

That’s good enough for me. Thank you so much for the feedback. I’ll take the gamble. The game looks right up my alley
- Comment on Caves of Qud 1.0 OUT NOW! 2 months ago:
Would it work well on a retroid pocket 5, do you think? I’d happily buy it if so.
- Comment on Why you should buy your games on GOG 2 months ago:
We’re all different and enjoy different things. How about congratulating someone for making some content on a topic they care about.

- Comment on Greens announce plan to wipe HECS debts and make university free 3 months ago:
“The Greens have said they will wipe $81 billion in student debt — but how will they pay for it?”
Well, how about a single mining company paying even a teeny bit of tax?
Imagine that!
