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.

 

I randomly decided it'd be nice to have a casual city builder to have in the library. If you've played Nova Roma, is it a good choice for that? Currently I don't want to get into something more advanced like SimCity 3000.

Isn't AnimeBytes one of the hardest private trackers to get into?

Also, depending on where you live, reading digitally might be your only option.

I was beginning to fear the channel ran it's course, this looks amazing. I hope it's a sign Uncle Derek hasn't ran out of topics yet.

I found and beat it in the main Celeste campaign, it was pretty fun.

Awesome! I'll check it out.

 

ADACA is a half-like. I'm seven hours into it and everything about it is just perfect. I love the low poly art style, the story and the world are pretty interesting, the guns are all great, combat is very satisfying, you have a gravity arm with a crazy amount of range, it's just an incredible game.

If you are a fan of 2000s first person shooter games you have got to play ADACA. I used to think boomer shooters were better but I get it now, we need more shooters like this.

 

If you haven't played it, you really should give it a try. It is one of the most creative games I have ever played and is now one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever. This game is the game that made me take visual novels seriously. Before this I just though they were all typical, anime-esque romance stuff. I want to try more of this stuff.

 

Trying to do so gives the

404: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'send')

and

404: couldnt_find_community

errors respectively, do any of you have this issue aswell? Has this been already reported?
