Are they? It seems like peope enjoyed it a lot. Apparently music is a big downgrade, which sucks, but game still looks awesome overall.

Wow this looks so good.

I know this is not a popular take, but in my opinion The Simpsons Arcade wasn’t a very good game. I believe it’s purely a novelty product, it falls short when compared to almost any other well known beat’em up from the era.

This looks better than Silksong to me, I couldn’t get into Hollow Knigth (thank goodness for that). I’ll wishlist it.

Awesome!

That was a pretty cool video. It’s nice to know some people took (and still do) children’s entertainment seriously, and didn’t use it just as a rhetorical shield against the critisism of their work. Apart from delivering a good message, the games also seem extremely well made in general.

Thankfully the stuff I’m interested in is very easy for the most part. It’s rare for me to struggle with finding something.

Great! I’ll make sure to add it to my wishlist 👍

I love the minimalist artstyle you went with and the plot sounds awesonote, is it going to be a complete story?

How you use the device is what matters. I use my smartphone to read books for example, and on YouTube I watch a lot of informative content.

What’s addictive is the pre-installed social media apps on our smartphones, that is what needs to be regulated.

Holy crap dude, that’s awful. I frequently forget to use my potions of invisibility as well, gotta stop doing that.

I do this with Blazing Chrome, it works in my case.

That’s it, I’m filtering all the posts with “remaster” on the title.

Actually I’m in my 20s myself. I just can’t see games like Call of Duty 4, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, GTA 4 and The Last of Us as retro when they are largely identical to what we would expect from a modern AAA title.

2007 was a long time ago, but not much has changed since then in mainstream big budget game development.

I honestly don’t agree with that at all. 360 and PS3 are old but their games aren’t very different compare to the big budget games of today. A few fads ended and others took their place, but that’s it. To me retro systems end with the Wii, mainly because Wii was just an overclocked Gamecube.

This year the original SMB will be forty years old.

There are alternatives to YouTube though, there are a lot of them. It’s just none of them are viable for the viewers because content creators are hell bent on never using anything other than YouTube. To the point I believe they aren’t actually bothered by YouTube’s problems and only occasionaly complain about it for easy views.

Personally I don’t care anymore, YouTube’s problems don’t affect me. As long as PipePipe works I’m happy. And if it stops working I’ll just stop watching YouTube, or just minimize my usage to the extent it’s possible.

Lemmy already came such a long way though, when I first tried using it, it was a barren wasteland. Federated social media is the only kind of online platform that can brute force it’s way into viability so I’m confident Lemmy will continue to grow or remain big enough to satisfy it’s users. It just won’t be as big as Reddit.

I really hope Reddit keeps on its road to enshittification so more people realizes what kind of shit hole it is and more open to try the fediverse they would be

I don’t see this ever happening to be honest. Considering how much shitter YouTube has been for so much longer I don’t believe most people online will ever leave the mainstream platforms.

I believe fediverse will be like Linux. It’ll always have a dedicated userbase large enough to sustain itself, but it won’t be big like the proprietary platforms. And that’s ok.

I heard about Super Meat Boy quite a bit, it always popped up in must play indie games lists. I never heard of Trine before, so it’s definitely not the same.

I don’t think compiling from source is easy even on Linux. Whenever I try it whatever program I’m trying to compile just refuses to compile, even though I seem to have all of the necessary programs for it. I can’t recall successfully compiling anything other than suckless tools, which have basically no dependencies.
