Ghouls 'n Ghosts: A Home Port Comparison 🎃 (lemmy.world)
Just in time for the spookiest time of year, a game that features not just ghouls, but also ghosts as well. And spooky haunted turtles....

Halloween Retro Picks? (lemmy.world)
I’m not normally one for themed, seasonal gaming… but Halloween seems to lend itself particularly well to playing a particular type of game....
If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be? (i.ytimg.com)
(Saw this question asked on another popular link aggregation website and it got me thinking)...
What game did you play a ton of in the past, that you were never good enough to beat?
My two:...

Does anyone else act more 'human' when solving captchas?
Whenever I have to do a captcha where you must select all tiles with bicycles, I know I can just click through super fast, but I feel like that might make the website suspicious, so I purposefully slow down like “Geez, this is a melon-scratcher!” or click and then unclick a tile like “whoops, silly me, thats an umbrella...
Should I use chromium based browsers or firefox?
Chromium has better features, but with google announcing its plan to ‘drm the internet’ I 'm not sure if it’d be a good idea.
The cartridge art was always so kickass. You just had to use your imagination quite a bit... (startrek.website)
Commando: A Home Port Comparison (i.imgur.com)
Commando (released as Senjō no Ōkami in Japan, Wolf of the Battlefield) is a 1985 Capcom arcade shooter. Word to the wise: Commando isn’t based on the Schwarzenegger movie of the same name - that’s some false knowledge I’ve carried round with me for close to forty years… oh, how I’ve embarrassed myself at dinner...
Bomb Jack: A Home Port Comparison (lemmy.world)
I feel as if I’ve been hanging out at the arse-end of the 80s a lot recently, comparing ports on computers that had no business running them. I’ve long suspected that if you want to see 8-bit micros at their best, you’re better served hanging around in 1986 rather than 1989. Things were so much more achievable back then…...

Switching from Chrome to Firefox? Here Are Some Tips. (frunc.de)
I switched from Windows 10 to Linux. Its great!
I was using Windows for a long time, from 95, XP, 7 and 10. Games just worked out fine, software that I needed I pirated. But I was annoyed from updates, (cannot turn off MY pc, just update and turn off option) bing, fokin bing and oh the best - F1 binded to it....
I am LOVING Baldurs Gate 3
I’m just a little bit late to the Baldurs Gate 3 party, but I searched on here and didn’t see much follow up discussion about it after the review thread. I’m also trying to submit more to Lemmy so the communities can grow, so I thought I’d bring it back up now that it has been out for a few weeks....

How to curb unnecessary consumer impulses?
I am very lucky to have a chunk of disposable income every month. However, I want to invest and save most of it, because I recognize that disposable income can quickly disappear given the right circumstances....
how is Lemmy going for you?
Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
With the rising prices of Netflix and Disney+, are you considering cutting those subscriptions?
I was never a fan of the subscriptions model (I have never had a Spotify, Netflix, or any other similar services)....

Final Fight: A Home Port Comparison (lemmy.world)
Everyone knows about Final Fight, right? This 1989 Capcom beat 'em up feels almost genre defining, even though it was not the first beat 'em up of its type. Nevertheless, it cast a long shadow over games that came after it, especially those released by Capcom....
Mastodon is easy and fun except when it isn’t (erinkissane.com)
"After my last long post, I got into some frustrating conversations, among them one in which an open-source guy repeatedly scoffed at the idea of being able to learn anything useful from people on other, less ideologically correct networks. Instead of telling him to go fuck himself, I went to talk to about fedi experiences with...
