You can use Genesis controllers on the 2600 too.

Checks out

Just announced? Crazy, I already have the Taito version.

How you get dem pancakes so fluffy?

Didn’t Microsoft do this with the Microsoft Live service? After so many years, they stopped supporting the service and the games are pretty much useless.

A simpler time. A time before the ads and telemetry.

I’m older so probably not in the demographic. I had a PS4 and liked it. My only complaint was paying for online service. But getting “free” games with the service, okay sure. Lol, you can play some games without PS+. I found this out playing rocket League, yay?

I thought about getting a PS5, but I’m not down with the whole rat race vibe. Paying more then retail seems silly. Resellers, nope. After 3 years the luster of having a new console is over. I’m fine with Steam.

Like how the NES game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had Pizza Hut ads? Or like how the NES and Genesis have McDonald’s games?

Nostalgia is part of retrogaming. It’s not required but it help keep interest in a game.

You might want to try different systems and types of retro games. SNES is good but a lot prefer Sega Genesis, TG16, NES even Atari can be interesting. They all have different games. Also MAME is fun for arcade games.

I find that I play sometimes only play new games for months. Indie games is where it’s at for me. Donut DoDo on Steam comes to mind. And if you like that game try some that inspired it.

At the end of the day, just fun.

They support Flatpaks, which are nice

The same could be said 30 years ago.

Fork time!

I went back to Stream. I liked my PS4 but just couldn’t deal with paying for a subscription service. I must have collected 60 games and played 7. For most of the time I wasn’t even using the service.

Angry Linus is the best.

No surprise, but hopefully they can figure something out with Valve

PC gaming on Microsoft Window’s is Xbox gaming. It’s baked into the OS and we’re a generation away from MS charging is you want a “secure” OS.

Linux + Valve means PC gaming won’t be behind a paywall anytime soon.
