It’s not open source, it has a github for issue tracking but the source code isn’t available.

Only if you have a beast of a PC. From what I’ve seen these ports run significantly better and come prepackaged with many fixes to shadps4 issues like vertex explosions.

The Linux version is here, you still need to obtain the original game files to play it though.

There are already a couple of these lists, mainly Quiver Launcher which lets you rate the game by how well it works and filter by whatever you’re looking for, as well as Awesome Decomp Games which is a curated list of decomps & recomps.

Photopea runs on the web which makes it way slower than native apps. It chugs a lot when editing a 4k image for example. The other main benefit is that the clone is fully open source whereas Photopea is closed source.

Most of them are really good. The Adobe ones aren’t actually decompilations, they’re just AI-generated apps that try to copy the same functionality. The AI decomps should be functionally the same as the original games, usually with some edits to uncap the framerate and make it work with higher resolutions.

Reminds me a lot of the 8bitdo Lite 2, although that one is way more portable because it’s flat.

Games already have IP laws for their assets and patents, but the code is something we can’t really enforce. If someone reverse engineered Minecraft and released it with new graphics and trademarks, how are they going to prove this game is just a copy of Minecraft and not an original block game?
Obviously if it’s too similar they’d rule against it but AI is really good at shuffling code and changing up minor things to make it legally distinct.

My reaction as well to seeing all of this.

I bought Monster Hunter Rise as it’s currently 90% off on Steam, really enjoying my time with it so far.

You are moving the goal post here.
And you’re being pedantic. Any computer made in the last 15 years can run a browser. If your laptop can’t run a browser, you probably can’t even run Steam. Why are we even talking about this?
But a good native Godot export is certainly faster then a good web export of the same game made nativley with web technology.
I’m a Godot developer and this is wrong.
- Comment on Happy Wheels is now available on Steam! 3 weeks ago:
If you’re on a computer that can’t run a web browser in 2026 I’m out of words honestly.
Also, Godot exported to the web would definitely run worse than a game made directly for the browser.

So what? Why are you acting like it’s a great scam or grand conspiracy? It is the web game - now on Steam. It wasn’t advertised as anything more than just a version of the web game you can play for a few dollars. Are you upset it’s bundling Electron instead of the game being re-written in Assembly for maximum optimization? It’s a very simple game that runs on everything. Thanks for the cynical breakdown of the technology used, I guess.

- Comment on What makes a tower-defense loss useful rather than frustrating? 4 weeks ago:
It’s hard to convey why you lost because it’s often the result of a lot of mistakes that accumulate over time, such as the lack of building any income.
That said a lot of tower defenses have a sorta clear reason why you lost, such as a boss or a type of enemy you didn’t deal with properly. In BTD6, if you lost from a big zeppelin then you don’t have much single target damage. If you lost from camo bloons, then you lack camo detection, etc. It’s usually fairly obvious why you lost, and if you have multiple lanes then maybe you didn’t care for a specific one.

RIP Heart Machine. They were a good studio but hasn’t produced a hit after hyper light drifter which was 10 years ago now.
- Comment on The Anbernic RG DS Plus Is The Best DS Handheld Yet 4 weeks ago:
Thoughts on the pen’s quality? It looks a bit thick and flimsy from the pictures but I’m interested in hearing from someone who tried it. Also, is the thick tip accurate enough for DS games?
- Comment on Question - Retro Handhelds 5 weeks ago:
They’re great, and there are so many retro handhelds out there - all sorts of shapes and sizes and price ranges. You need to do some research to see what you’re interested in, but I’d recommend a cheap one to start (60-100 dollars). I’m using the Anbernic RG34XXSP and am very happy with it.
As for the ROM collections, it really depends on the manufacturer. Some are really good collections, and some are just trash with tons of duplicates or games in many different languages. One thing for sure is that there will be missing ROMs because they don’t want lawsuits. I’ve heard most of them don’t come with popular Nintendo or Pokemon titles, so you’ll need to get them yourself.
Worst case scenario though is that you can just curate your own collection, or download a ready-made collection online and copy it over.

It’s not that weird of a concept I think, RuneScape has been doing it for ages. There’s Runescape 3, and Old School Runescape which is getting new updates and content to match the old style. I’m not surprised WoW is going for that considering how much nostalgia people have for the old game.
- Comment on BlizzCon 2026 Announcements Summary 5 weeks ago:
They did a big 2.0 update that fixed most of the issues, including letting you play with proper classic graphics. There might still be some changes WC3 fans don’t like but I think it’s a solid remake now.

New Warcraft 3 expansion with a big new update was so unexpected, but has me very excited to redownload it.
- Comment on My low quality unqualified review of the Mobapad M12 S Joycon replacements 5 weeks ago:
I understood that people replace the Switch 1 joycons because they drift a lot and were kind of toy-like, but I don’t see the value in Switch 2 replacements. I tried the Switch 2 joycons and they’re pretty solid and comfortable.

Whenever someone tries to remake a Nintendo game in a realistic art style people would sarcastically say “Nintendo, hire this man!!!”
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 5 weeks ago:
Looking closer I think all the child characters look really uncanny. They’re all so stubby with huge eyes and it’s just weird. Adult link and Ganon look great though.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 5 weeks ago:
It’s confirmed to be $60.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Trailer 5 weeks ago:
Nintendo finally hired that guy!
Jokes aside, looks pretty good. The faces are throwing me off a lot though. They’re so… weird. I was expecting something closer to breath of the wild than the semi-realistic style. I hope they adjust kid link, at least.

Seriously there has been maybe 3-4 posts about GTA 6 on this community in the last 2 months and every single one of them is full of people whining that they don’t want to hear about it. It’s so overblown.
GTA 6 is one of - if not the - highest budget games ever made. In one of the most popular and successful franchises of all time. It’s the biggest release of the last few years whether they like it or not. Now… You’re telling me we should stop talking about it in gaming communities because Lemmy users want to get back to talking about Linux and whatever 6/10 open source game is doing the rounds?
Sorry for the harshness but these posts and comments are so annoying. If you don’t want to talk about AAA games then why are you in the gaming community?

Also, it’s 100% free to play - you don’t even need to own Quake. I totally recommend trying it out, just download the standalone version here.
