本来预购了 #龙之信条2 ，但是刚出来的时间在度假没机子玩，结果一刷社交媒体发现它优化和内购 blow up 了，然后读了一些 steam review 一怒之下退款了想说晚点优化好了 + 打折再买。
但是现在看看说本身好玩的又想买了 orz。其实当年 2077 
被骂成狗的时候我也顺利玩上了最大问题顶多就是黑梦其它部分不影响玩得也挺开心的。还好巧不巧之前打在打的游戏刚好打完了。我要不要再给它一次机会 = = （白白丢掉的 preorder bonus
A tech editor recently played Game Boy Advance games on his iPhone thanks to a new emulator called iGBA, which may be the first Game Boy Advance emulator allowed on the App Store since Apple began allowing emulators last week. But is the app an unauthorized copy? Read more at @theverge. https://flip.it/AxcjDo

These are screenshots from the video game Sable. Does anyone know how to describe this particular style of art?
Magic: The Gathering has come a long way since it debuted at Gen Con in 1993. Last year, it became a billion-dollar brand. The genius behind it, mathematician Richard Garfield, left Wizards of the Coast, Magic's publisher, shortly after it was sold to Hasbro in 1999 and has subsequently expressed an apparent disillusionment with what the game has become. Defector's Nick Zarzycki interviewed him about this, his perception of the existential threats to Magic, and why he left the company. [Story may be paywalled]

World of Warcraft is 20 this year. Since 2005, fans of the game have gathered annually in Anaheim, Calif., for the BlizzCon convention. But this year, Activision Blizzard says the event is canceled and while the game maker says it'll be back, fans aren't so sure. The BBC spoke to the company's Holly Longdale, a VP, and the game's associate design director, Maria Hamilton, about what's next for WoW after the Microsoft acquisition of Activision, plans to deal with toxic speech and behavior in the game, and more.

Cities Skylines 2 is a great space heater.
It’s still a bit chilly here around Seattle, especially in my basement where the gaming rig sits.
But close the room door and fire up this game, and it’s toasty in no time!
I'm experimenting with making PSP texture packs for each version of Final Fantasy, WonderSwan Color, PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, and Pixel Remaster because why not. Depending on how well this goes I may make an NES texture pack as well.

I'm Charli! I'm a bisexual trans girl on a quest to improve my mental health, find more of my authentic self, make new community connections, and maybe get a bit closer to happiness as I go.
I live in Oregon's Portland metro. I love punk rock and 80s new wave music. I'm almost knowledgeable enough with Linux to be annoying. And I can hyperfixate over old shorthand textbooks like you wouldn't believe.
I struggle with anxiety, depression, sensory processing, depersonalization, and the typical difficulties of navigating life while being neurodivegent. I believe talking about mental health shouldn't be stigmatized.

This is a #diy #RaspberryPi #pico #openhardware #opensource device I created for making your own #pc #gaming controllers. You can place buttons, joysticks, potentiometers, and rotary encoders onto a grid, and then assign them gamepad or keyboard functions. It was designed for starship bridge simulation games (e.g. EmptyEpsilon, Space Nerds in Space) to create custom controls, but it is a general joystick/gamepad substitute.

Oh, hello there, you found me...or did I find you?
It's just me, Fi. That really annoying woman from Scotland that talks way too much then shuts down because everything is overwhelming.
So yeah, about me - Fi, Scottish, carer for my child, cat lady. Disabled thanks to arthritis, fibromyalgia and some unknown thing thats under constant investigation until the docs decide whats going on - or if my body just hates me (it probably does, I don't blame it).
I spend most of my time looking after the cats (fat cat and skinny cat), the child and totally neglecting myself. When I'm not doing caring duties, I'm stitching, gaming or sleeping...although every now and then I venture outside into the real world and it reminds me I don't like it.
I'm mostly found online early morning, usually half dead from lunchtime. Although now and then I will lurk and randomly set up a new account just before bedtime...like now, so hi 😁
City Skylines 2 is pretty fun. I loved the name and logo of this office that was built. 😁
Hey, I'm Lexi and this is an #intro post!
I'm leaning into wholesome living; #HomeCooking , #sewing , #making and #mending things, #composting and learning to #GrowYourOwn.
I'm rediscovering my love for #StarTrek and starting #gaming (#StardewValley style).
I'm wild about unicorns and love pink. Like, a lot. It's also unlikely you'll see me in anything but dungarees.
I'm late realised #ActuallyAutistic on the waiting list for a full assessment.

It would be nice if more EU citizens could sign and share
Edit: this isn't a joke lol but only if we hit the goal. I enjoy the maximum silly streams but sometimes you gotta work for it.
If my Patreon hits $100 a month before October I'll get Horny-High and do a Smash or Pass stream of all Tattle Log enemies in Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake. (it's already halfway there! $50 more to go)
