I like DHH, I’m glad the less-used tools have an advocate in him. There is a trend to winner-takes-all in software, it’s great when other systems/approaches are championed. I think DHH did a good job of explaining why moving out of the cloud worked for his situation and not others. I think he did a worse job explaining why moving to JS and away from TS is good for him. But he was upfront that it’s mostly a personal/subjective choice. He could have handled the transition better, but I think the destination they got to was fine.
I’m not much of an 8-bit gamer but it’s cool to hear about these early consoles. The general narrative is that the Famicom ruled in Japan, but it had some competition and it’s interesting to see what other companies released.
There’s so many providers, and they don’t always make it clear when they change hardware. Amazon AWS feels pretty open about it, they are good. I doubt the resource you are looking for will ever exist. You won’t be able to make a purchase decision with all the info you want.
Having said that, you did bring a ton of resources together in this post, thank you for that!
Are there any paid services for either Lemmy or Mastodon? Something where, given it is a subscription service, you would expect them to stick around long-term?
I could list a bunch of general YTers that cover retro games among other gaming topics, but for those who mainly cover retro games I like Big Ole Words, Hungry Goriya, and Video Works.
I’m sure everyone knows Retronauts, the awesome & long running Retro Gaming Podcast. Hey their website has some cool articles. Right now Stuart Gipp has a series of short reviews for all the games on the Sega Game Gear. It’s not complete yet, but it makes for a good resource if you’re looking for things to try on that...
It’s a pretty lame situation. I used to have a big collection, but I sold 95% at the beginning of the pandemic when I realized I just don’t play them. I’m more likely to emulate, even stuff that I own. Game collecting is different from game playing and it’s almost like a separate hobby with a lot of overlap. It’s a bummer for people who want to have a cool thing and can’t have it.
Anyone here learned Tagalog as an adult? I’m an American so I only speak english and am trying to learn Tagalog. Anyone got tips on resources that worked well for them? Thanks.
I’ve been trying to get into playing some old games I’ve either missed out on or have completely forgot I’ve even played. I now find myself wanting to play games from SNES and the Gameboy line and can’t settle down on which handheld to play all these games on....
There are a lot of ways to play the old video games. For me, my favorite way is with one of the little 3rd party retro game devices. I had a RGB10 Max 2 and it was great, but I dropped it and it broke. Im using an RG35XX and it’s working great for PS1 and earlier. I’d love to get something more powerful for PS2 games but...
I’ve used the Gamesir X2 and it works well. Only issue is I can’t have my phone case on at the same time, so I have to take it off. I think I have the 2nd revision, there is a 3rd one out now last I heard.
Thought I would start a thread and get some traction for this community. What are some of your favorite retro games? My favorite is Super Mario Bros 3.
Game Boy tetris has always been my favorite version. Check out the Rosy Retrospection romhack for the GB game with some nice quality-of-life improvements.
Metroid: Zero Mission is my favorite these days since I recently beat it for the first time. Now I jump into it every few days and enjoy just running around and attacking and bombing and stuff.

Lemmy makes me think of Lammy! (lemmy.world)
I’ve typed in the URL for this website as Lammy a few times by mistake. But it reminds me to play a great PS1 rhythm game!

I love self-hosting software. Next to this Lemmy server, I host 10 other Fediverse servers. And of course a lot of tools I use for myself or work.
