  Questions for #PS5 users from someone who has not actively played video games since the PS2. Is the current deal for the digital PS5 with Fortnite at $399 a good one, or is this a lower quality model? What kind of monitor do I need to buy for the PS5? Digital or Disc versions? Thank you!

  @yPhil That's definitely an issue that stops me from enjoying retrogaming. I end up setting up Raspberry Pis or Emulators and then fill them up with games...and then there are so many games, I end up playing none of them. A friend of mine told me the only way to go into retrogaming is with original hardware and original games. You need to recreate the whole experience.

  @yPhil Nice, is this the VCS 2600 game or the PS2 game?

  I just purchased the #gboperator by #epilogue. Any other user here who may want to share their experience with this device that allows you to plug #Gameboy cartridges to your computer, check for their authenticity and dump their ROMs?

  I never played #zelda in my life and I just finished setting up my new #misterfpga. Should I start with the NES version or the SNES one?

  A request for the already great @ivory. #mastodon is filled with great content and I’d love a way to easily bookmark posts and add them to bookmark’s lists. I would have a list for retrogaming, one for illustration, one for comics, etc.

  Why are we attracted to #retrogaming and #RetroComputing? Is it nostalgia? Is it the idea of disconnected devices? Is it the quality of old-school games?

  @inguin I am pulled by nostalgia, but then realize that I can play many of those games on Steam or GOG with my current laptop.

  I just watched a wonderful documentary about the life of a group of senior musicians living in the retirement home for artists in Milan, Italy, created by famous opera composer Giuseppe Verdi. https://www.jolt.film/watch/vivaverdi?utm_medium=paid&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=viva_verdi_award_voters_gs&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23508119916&gbraid=0AAAAA9UUJykNUJcS862HRss0MFoYyjnuE&gclid=Cj0KCQiAqeDMBhDcARIsAJEbU9Qxw6cJKIr6KFETK68YNsaAy0JkJZ7dTeE...

  @crazyeddie@mastodon.social @mer@mastodon.ie @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange It’s anedoctal but many democrats I know did not vote in 2024 and many moderate republicans I know voted for Trump because they were all alienated by extreme positions such as the one I criticized at the beginning of this thread. I’m not blaming Trump on the specific user I criticized, it’s more of an observation on how a party that moves too much to one side may trigger, as a a response, a move to the completely oppos...

  @crazyeddie@mastodon.social @mer@mastodon.ie @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange that’s fine. My whole argument is just to say that the extreme position of saying “if you own a Tesla and use Twitter you’re a fascist, a nazi, you support the current administration” is the BS that made Trump President in 2024. Unfortunately.

  @crazyeddie@mastodon.social @mer@mastodon.ie @hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange unfortunately at the end of the day there is nothing like Twitter if you want to keep up with some communities, the news, etc. The two alternatives to Twitter are Threads and Mastodon. Threads has the same moral issues of Twitter (maybe a little bit less), so if no Twitter, then no Threads. Mastodon is just not there yet as size of the community, breadth of topics, and the way it can highlight interesting or urgent top...
