My local library has a collection of Nintendo Switch Games

Holy cow, how did that device not become the norm…lol

Ahhh

Are you joking? Doom was built for a keyboard and mouse and most people believe it’s the superior way to play FPS games. Although I’m not sure how any controller interfaces with a dongle.

Some people like to play on original hardware but I guess this still being emulation makes that a little cloudy. I certainly couldn’t justify it. I own a computer and wireless controller, so as you said.

That stinks and it is an excellent idea. I’m really enjoying it.

Terrible idea. You don’t combat bad behavior with bad behavior. We just had Global Switch Day and now we’re talking about this which is the complete opposite of encouraging growth. How does this make it the open internet?

Live service games are relatively new and among the most popular every year. You’re right traditional games aren’t going anywhere but neither are these style of games. And to insinuate they haven’t disrupted or changed the industry is silly.

They’re not new games yet they are in the top games every year which might say something.

Test flight is opt in if I remember correctly and allows you to download beta versions of apps. So I would assume you signed up or activated it or whatever for an app.

Twitter was alright until Elon took over so I’m willing to hang out until the billionaire psychopath swoops in.

They understand Twitter sucks now and it feels more peaceful on BlueSky.

While not part of the fediverse if you want Twitter like activity I would suggest BlueSky. However I am also on Mastodon and I find it to have plenty of activity. It’s not the fire hose that Twitter is but to me that makes it much more manageable.

Good point, thats the correct way to look at it.

I’ve never heard of Orkut, the only Google social network I ever used was Google+. When I first heard about Facebook I couldn’t even sign up because my college wasn’t a supported .edu…lol and I guess the Facebook format/design isn’t inherently bad, just the algorithm is horrendous. There are more adds and post from suggested groups than people and groups I follow on my feed. Then the post from Threads a social network I don’t even use forced on me and adds in the notifications. It’s just a garbage experience and way of going about things. Although it’s still hard to see the point of an alternative that the people I know IRL aren’t on when I have Mastodon, BlueSky and Lemmy for like minded people.

Sure but what’s the point of feeding a question that is basically irrelevant to the post. This isn’t about a stock PS1. Of course you can get one cheaper and it can’t do a fraction of what this can.

I saw someone suggest Yandex as a Google substitute in de-Google thread recently…lol

You realize this has a lot more features than original PS1 hardware, right?

Mastodon is fine. The fediverse doesn’t have to pretend like it has alternatives for every social media network overnight. People expect semi equivalent experiences to apps developed by massive teams and corporations.

Why does software have a political stance?
