When I was really young I thought that skyscrapers were people who stood on tall buildings and literally scarped the sky with some sort of long tool.

They could never release a new Zelda game again for all I care, I just want a 60fps version of Twilight Princess.

I’m actually against the idea of a reboot / remake for most of the games listed here. They’re already good games, a modern update would only serve to render them obsolete in the minds of many and reduce the lasting cultural impact of the original titles. Re releases of the original versions, sure, but full on reboots / remakes, absolutely not.

I believe that, like film, game remakes should be reserved for titles that had potential they never lived up to, or where a developer has a fresh interpretation of a title that doesn’t supplant the original, such as the case with Final Fantasy VII.
To that end, some games I personally would like to see remade or rebooted are Whiplash, Jurassic Park Trespasser, Sonic 06, Enter The Matrix, and Nightmare Creatures.

We have @PS2 as a replacement for both /r/PS2 and /r/PS2homebrew.

Yup. I’ve gone on Reddit a few times in the past couple days, but mostly wound up there due to working on electronics projects and search results from Reddit having the information I needed. The only actual engagement I’ve had with the site has been in the form of comments encouraging people to come over here.

Conversely, I recently posted a massive infodump over on /m/PS2 in order to help kick-start that community.

I think pretentious may be an understatement for this guy

I have Moto G5 Ace I got through my carrier, and aside from the lack of a physical keyboard (seriously why the fuck is this not a thing anymore?), I’m quite happy with it.

I chose it specifically because it was the one phone I could get free with my plan that supports custom ROMs. I’ve got it running a bare bones LineageOS install, so no Google anything. It’s runs the five apps I actually use and is massively overkill for that purpose. The fact that it’s completely devoid of extraneous crap means that the battery life is incredible.

I see myself using this thing for at least the next 4-5 years. Would recommend to my fellow turbo nerds who hate smartphones.

Not that Picross isn’t a game, but there are speedruns of Microsoft Excel. I’m not convinced something having a speedrun proves it’s status as a game.

I’m on Kbin. That was the case a few days ago when I joined, but they’ve since rolled it back and most of the content I’m seeing here is from Lemmy.
