  • The PS2 turns 25 years old today. Crazy, right? Perfect day for revisiting some classics. What are some of your favourite PS2 games?

    Jump

  • oh definitely. Games just felt differently back then. It was rarer for games to hold your hand, too. Not to say that that was always a good thing, sometimes it was quite annoying I guess, but maybe it was part of the reason games felt different. Combined with having to find stuff out on your own, you literally were on your own, yeah.

    There are many things though that make this era of gaming special, this one is just something I often think of.

  • Mario Kate update

    Jump

  • I actually like that left-right motion. It means that its harder to drift and get a speed boost. Not just holding a button like in most other MK games. I imagine its better on a dpad than an analog stick though, so I guess its still good that they moved away from it.

  • Clever Hub Innovates with NES Expansion Port for Gamers | Retro Gaming News 24/7

    Jump

  • I don't know, it's cool that there's finally a use for the port, but just being able to use Bluetooth controllers and having a few audio enhancements isn't really something most people waited for, I think. The price is also kinda high for that.

  • FreeCAD v1.0 released.

    Jump

  • Just tried it out, there have definitely improvements been made since I last tried it, I'm happy to see it get better.

  • What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head?

    Jump

  • This ones great. Where does it come from?

  • What do you like to do during a power outage?

    Jump

  • I recently bough a new flashlight, a Wurkkos FC11C to be exact. It's pretty good for the price, and it really can't hurt to have a good flashlight around. I made a post about it in !flashlight@lemmy.world about it, and there are some other posts too.

  • Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet, what is your favorite game?

    Jump

  • That's funny, I've actually been playing through it for the first time recently. I played NEO 2 years ago and loved that, and I definitely love the og game too.

    Really cool and creative game, both from gameplay and story. And mate, the music, its fucking art. Like the rest of both games, yeah.

  • File Explorer - a file explorer app for Android with a built-in text editor and tabs support

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing, just tried it out. It seems really well made, especially since its the first version. It even has a built in PDF viewer. Not bad. I might actually replace Material Files with it, which is what I was using until now.

  • Could someone please try installing this? I'd be really curious to see what Windows 7 on a Steam Deck would look like!

    Jump

  • This is a really cool project. Looks pretty convincing at first sight

  • Based on true events

    Jump

  • Yeah, actually starting and going through with it is half the work

  • What's your least favourite thing about your smartphone

    Jump

  • Yeah, its absolutely not a space problem. The Samsung S10e has a headphone jack, a SD card slot, and has a 5.8" display. Its way smaller than the vast majority of phones today, yet it has all of these features.

    I think we all know the reason apple removed it was because they can sell you the worse product for more.

  • What's your least favourite thing about your smartphone

    Jump

  • Having the reader on the back was easily the best spot. The only thing I miss from my old phone.

  • What's your least favourite thing about your smartphone

    Jump

  • Maybe give the universal android debloater a try. Its a pretty useful tool.

  • What's your least favourite thing about your smartphone

    Jump

  • Oh, I know what you're talking about. I got a "new" phone a few months ago. Was thinking about either the pixel 4a or Samsung S10e, and went with the latter.

    The cool thing is that both of these phones have LineageOS support. I didn't try it yet, but LOS sounds pretty awesome, I hope that I won't be disappointed.

  • Day 53 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots

    Jump

  • What a coincidence. Just yesterday I saw a video about how Mario Galaxy works from a technical perspective, and water was one of the topics.

    As it turns out, the water effect was done by manipulating the floor texture with a noise pattern to make it squiggly, and then putting a transparent layer above. It looks pretty good and doesn't need much processing power.

    I just thought that was interesting.

  • Super Mario Sunshine’s Biggest Mod Now Ready for Download

    Jump

  • Awesome to hear that it works on real hardware. It's so cool to play new mods on decades old consoles.

  • August Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?

    Jump

  • This is really interesting, thanks for your insight. I don't really know a lot about cars, but maybe I'll give it another try one day. I will definitely keep this in mind :)

  • Gamecube, PS2 and Wii just chilling in the evening sun. This picture just kinda happened, I thought you would appreciate it too.

    Jump

  • Absolutely. The Wii U modding community is really active, I feel like there's something new every few months. I love it!

  • Gamecube, PS2 and Wii just chilling in the evening sun. This picture just kinda happened, I thought you would appreciate it too.

    Jump

  • And that's fine too, I think. This is what gave the Wii the perfect backwards compatibility, allowing many more people to enjoy Gamecube games on original hardware without getting a Gamecube, which are way more expensive today.

    And you know, the Wii is like a beast when it comes to sub HD stuff. It's the most powerful console that ever released that wasn't designed with HD TVs in mind. That lead to many Wii games just looking really damn good and clean. Seriously, Mario Galaxy on a CRT in RGB looks absolutely stunning.

    But maybe they did go to far trying the same thing again with the Wii U.
