Oh, sorry for the moderately aggressive language then.

I’m just really sick of gaming media at large just ignoring that newer developers exist. Indie games aren’t a silverbullet (the variety in smaller releases has plummated and a small set of genres are heavily oversaturated with no signs of stopping) but my word they care a lot more than AAA ever did.

I don’t get why mainstream gaming discussion still hasn’t moved over yet, it makes no sense. Indie games are lightweight, cheap and thus far more accessible for most gamers. You’d think people would fully shift their attention to that segment by now, even if most indies are almost as risk averse as AAA are these days.

Unions need to make a comeback.

Ok, why are we so focused on an ass company’s just as ass subsidiary then? We get more games per year than ever before, insisting on talking about the rotten corpse of the old guard is pointless.

Who cares about the IP they own? Whatever they funded or bought over the years had their time in the spotlight and the world moved on. Even if Xbox was doing well they were never gonna be making another Blinx the Cat or Voodoo Vince. They were going to pump out the slop they put out in a more refined form like Sony does. So get over it already. Gaming moved past the 360, it’s about time you do the same.

I’m so sick of hearing about Xbox. You know they haven’t done anything that interest people for over a decade now, you know their consoles aren’t worth it if you care about exclusives, you know Game Pass ruined their platform and you know they are incapable of putting out good games. And even if they made a push to get stuff out few IPs Xbox is still pushing are washed up relics from late 2000s that only appeal to the perpetually nostalgic 360 crowd. They have nothing to offer to 90% of gamers. So why oh why are we still talking about them?

I don’t get Vim, at all. If I have to sit down and study it how efficent is it really? I am a fan of Vim inspired software though. Qutebrowser was really nice.

• Yes.
• Micro is better than both.
• Maybe it is, I dunno.
• Don’t care.
• Don’t care.

Man, that ice blue model looks fancy.

I had a cellphone shaped one as a kid. I remember actually enjoying it, however it broke and leaked all of the water after a while.

Fuck ARM.

For some reason electronics in general got rid of them as time went on. Mac, Windows and Ubuntu used to have really cool startup sounds. Today I believe only Linux Mint has one by default.

It seems computers used to have so much cool stuff that is just gone…

Call me weird

Bro, at this point that is the majority’s opinion. Some of the biggest hits in recent memory are stuff like Silksong and Terminator 2D.

Indies still put out great games, even if most of the time they aren’t designed like retro games.

Seventh gen systems largely play like what we have today though, so in my opinion they don’t count. I can see it with a Wii since that was more like a GameCube Pro, but otherwise no. I don’t think PS3 is retro.

With RetroArch you can literally get them for nothing. It’s so cool.

I think it’s because cyberpunk was an emerging genre at that point. Neuromancer was only six years old in 1990. Snow Crash wouldn’t be out for another two years.

Cyberpunk also represents people’s worries and fears regarding capitalism and what society will look like if it continues in the current trejectory, those fears weren’t as pronounced in the 1990s.

None, I don’t have enough room for one and even if I did, I don’t know if I’d want one. CRT enthusiasts go on about how CRT is unmatched when it comes to motion clarity and I wouldn’t want to get used to that experience since we are higly unlikely to get any more of those displays and it could make everything else feel like a severe downgrade.

ShadPS4 is more like Wine than a standard console emulator since PS4 simply uses off the shelf PC parts. Some games like Bloodborne, Diablo III and Driveclub already work.
