Well, it finally showed up! Still need to find time to open and test it out. Thankfully @LimitedRunGames packed it well and it showed up in good condition. Not quite a year wait… but almost 😅 #retrogaming

Fisher-Price accidentally made the ultimate gaming controller. I just unlocked it. 💀🎮 I turned a literal baby toy into a fully functional Nintendo Switch 2 controller using a Nordic nRF52840 to emulate a Switch 2 Pro Controller over Bluetooth LE. Yes, you can actually game with this thing. 🍼🔥

The beauty of it all is we can keep doing it the way we want. My grandpa was a linotypist… I wish he was alive to tell me how he felt when his profession became obsolete.

Recently attended an in-person handheld game console hackathon. I wrote a raycaster by hand. Someone wearing a “I ❤️ slop” tshirt saw mine and said “oh I wrote a ray caster too!”. They showed me. It was a ray *tracer* and claude did all the work. The person didn’t know basic graphics terms. They couldn’t answer basic questions about how it worked, could only talk about their prompting harness. Sad how AI is ruining the craft and community for people that actually like to program and have spent their lives getting good at it.

Weird influx today of randoms posting lies (or extreme exaggerations) about PC gaming experience.

I disagree. Consistently with new releases, my friends on PC are dealing with constantly having to rebuild shaders or crashes or windows updates breaking things. It's why I only bother to do PC gaming for experiences I wish to mod amd stick to my console for 95% of the time.

And for the record, I fully support people playing on consoles… play wherever works best for you. But, no need to make up BS to discredit other platforms like PC.

There it is… get ready for the $1500+ PS6. Oof…

PlayStation 6’s memory costs alone exceed $680 per console, it’s claimed, potentially suggesting an unprecedented price tag for the next-gen machine. videogameschronicle.com/news…

Why can you push people in PVE @ARCRaidersGame ? Seems like an easy fix - the toxic players can’t help themselves.

They’re ratting in PVE too 💔 #ARCRaiders 🎥 skrawburry

Wow! Not that I generally care what most review sites say… but that is crazy good!
My Retro Life@myretrolifeshowOct 13
Wow! Game spot gave Castlevania: Belmont's Curse a perfect 10 out of 10. My hype is now off the charts! Go check out their video review. They delivered, guys.

That is awesome! Need to read still, I assume the Vectrex may get some help from some custom chips or something… but maybe not?

Yo @LimitedRunGames - how the heck does it take OVER A YEAR to get your preorders handled for the AVGN NES game? Just had a shipping update notification and it looks like I won’t get it until well into 2027? I ordered in 2025…

Also… if the estimated shipping date is months and months into the future, don’t send me a “Your pre-order is being prepared to ship”. That is super misleading, if the delivery date is 3-6 months out, you are hardly preparing anything at this time.

I am excited, but I know quite a few people who will likely be disappointed if it leans too far into action vs the life sim stuff Stardew had.

Haunted Chocolatier Will Be More Of An Action RPG Than Stardew Valley

Haunted Chocolatier will appeal to Stardew Valley players who enjoy exploring the mines, finding equipment, fighting monsters, and facing bosses

This is super cool! There are some decent titles sort of locked to that systems limitation.

Despite my best efforts, only 7 people have played #SuperPolygonGrandPrix this month. I'm fully committed to completing the game as I owe it to everyone that has followed and those that have and are playing. But lessons learnt, unless things change dramatically I'll have to move on once complete. It WILL be completed. 🫶

Hey @ARCRaidersGame - have you added PVE only modes yet to your game? Super cool theme, super cool robots to fight... but the PVP is garbage and the PVPers are so toxic.

This is crazy… is this real @gamestop? $900 is overpriced for a PS5 Pro, this is insane. Can you imagine dropping $1.5k on a console where the follow-up PS6 seems to be coming out relatively soon? 🤣🤣🤣

GameStop is changing the price of their preowned PlayStation 5 Pro consoles to $1399.99 / $1499.99 "the preowned console will have a higher price than the new console - this is intentional."
