Not old, but retro in a way, Playdate is a pretty fun machine to play with and if you want you can end up selling in their catalog (online shop both for browser and console). I have wanted to start doing something for it for the last year (im a game desginer) but i havent coded in like 5 years at this point and work leaves me exhausted to learn new stuff.

Thats so cool! I love seeing projects to bring old consoles and emulators online. Whish i still had my dreamcast.

Thank god i also dont like alcohol free beer then

i dont drink alcohol. edit: lol at people that cant stand a harmless joke, i dont even freaking know what root beer is and i doubt its even comercialized in my country, hate for uk tho can be world wide

fair enough i guess, i still dont like that websites approach to the matter at the end of the day.

I know, i did read them, it just seems absurd to keep a review up that tells people to buy them, and also at the same time do an article that talks about how those consoles are hurting the retro scene and you shouldnt buy them

i didnt know this website so i decided to have a quick look through their articles:

Lol.

is it based on your searches or something? both in the browser with fingerprint protection where it thinks im from Usa and from the one where it detects my correct location the first result is from logi.com. I really hate bing, specially since they started pushing ai, but dunno, doesnt seem like the normal user experience what you are getting.

Or maybe artist should be able to not justify their existence monetarily and also not have their art fucking stolen and murdered to generate terrible pseudo art lmao.

those are pretty good prices for 7840 and 8840. Most handhelds with a 7840 have been closer to 1k.

They have a demo on steam for Fights in tight spaces if you want to give the game a try, its worth the shot, but yeah, this one has a better theme imo and looks like they improved in a lot of aspects, specially interaction with the enviroment and other characters

Maybe you should reflect on that mate, even if it was true that those were done in photo mode, not in engine, photo mode does let them change light, focus, blur, depth of field, and so on, which would by definition be already bullshots not how the game looks in movement. Not to say that its obvious most of the steam pics do have post edits. So yeah, i think this place is indeed becoming worse than reddit, there people wasnt so protective of game companies to such a stupid level and people didnt take offense from a comment about the steam page of a game that doesnt even talk about the game itself.

I found Fights in tight spaces just fine, but this one is looking really well

Thanks for stating im right. Have a nice day and try to not be so passive agressive with someone that is stating facts and not even saying anything bad about a game in an online forum.

I had never heard of this game, pretty cool concept. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fv9t5zg3O_Y This is the video the article seems to use as a reference in most of its images.

The game has been out for more than 2 years, not 1, most of what is in the trailer and screenshots of the steam page is cinematics and bullshots, bullshots are in game images edited to appear better than they are, most of those fit that definition, both by framing and by retouches that are not present in moving gameplay, like lighting fixes, focus, depth of field etc. Im not critizing the game, just stating what is on that steam page, which is pretty sad for a game that has been out for more than 2 years and has pretty good graphics by itself.

For a game that has been released since February 2022 to only have bullshots on their steam page… Edit: Even the trailer they have on the steam page for the pc release has barely 10 seconds of real gameplay in 1:30 minutes, they really dont believe in people buying the game for what it is.

Remember that GOG subscribes you to all their marketing bullshit when you claim a free game, so just a reminder to go to your gog account settings and disable all that shit.

It only makes you and the guy crying on twitter look bad, nexusmods is a private platform that is not forced to host mods if they dont want to, you can upload them anywhere else and stop crying for a change.

Good, you have to be a special kind of disgusting person to make a mod like that or the one that removed the pride flag from spiderman. You are not entitled to have your stupid mods in a platform if that platform does not want to have that kind of content, they are free to upload it somewhere else which makes their crying on twitter an extra layer of cringe showing how manchild are.
