This community was made because I didn’t see an Amiga community on #Lemmy, so I thought, “Hey, why not make one?”

But I chose to make it on #Piefed instead because Piefed seems to have better moderation options than other federated Reddit-like software.

I’m looking forward to this!

One of my favourite puzzle games ever.

I should also mention that this game is available on GOG for the same price:

I play my Steam Deck more than my living room tower, which has a 3090. When it's time to upgrade again, I think I'll just get a Steam Deck 2 and dock it to my TV.

Microsoft also has the benefit of owning Windows.

Personally, I just just hook up my PC to my TV, run Steam in Big Picture mode, and it gives me a console experience. Not a perfect console experience, mind you, but good enough for me.

If you’re comparing to DOTA or Wukong, it’s small. But those games are exceptional compared to AAA titles as well.

But when you consider that 20,000 games were released on Steam last year, and MiSide had zero hype, I’d say 100K players is also exceptional.

It certainly performed better than Concord.

MiSide has more players than Persona 3 Reload, so how niche is it really?

DLSS definitely affects the quality, so I'd love to see what this looks like with that turned off. But with DLSS, I got to be honest, I don't see much of a difference. I see some slight differences in terms of shadows, reflections, and number of objects rendered on screen. But overall, no -- nothing that would change the experience when I'm in the midst of gameplay.

In desktop mode, this is what #Bookface looks like on friendica.world. Now Friendica world does not support Bookface out of the box, but you can enable this anyway, through your web browser. Here’s ...

Cults aren’t isolated by others. They self-isolate.

People need to know this feature exists and that it’s a good thing.

[-] atomicpoet@kbin.earth 4 points 5 months ago

Of course it’s discouraging because any deviation from a norm requires change, and people by their nature hate change.

But I’ve been on the Fediverse for quite a few years, and nothing moves the needle like stubbornness.

Unnoticed? Not at all. The Guinness World of Records recognizes this game as the first to "utilise basic stealth game mechanics".

I happen to disagree with them, but they certainly noticed.

The reason you've never played this game is because it didn't have a dedicated cabinet. It used the Raster Scan Convert-a-Game system. Which means many of the cabinets that were once used for this game no longer host it. And if that's not enough 005 never got a home port.

It is also highly likely Konami knew about 005 since this game was developed and made by SEGA, got great reviews upon its release, and well, Metal Gear used its mechanics.

Now, why is it super unlikely that you’ve played this game? Because it was only ever released in arcades. And it wasn’t exactly a huge runaway success. But in terms of actual gameplay mechanics, this game had some monumental firsts.

r/RetroGaming is very strict about retro. They say the Nintendo 64 is retro while the PlayStation 2 is modern. This despite the fact the PlayStation 2 is now 25 years old.

So I got to wonder about this community deems as “retro”.

Or a better question: what’s considered retro and not retro? What’s the fine line between retro and modern?
