@OP The Motorola Atrix tried this a while ago, but it wasn’t particularly popular with reviewers

Ahh I was missing this kind of post from the Games subreddit. Had no idea opencritic had an MD export option

I’d forgotten how good the 3DS 2D Mario game was, this looks super fun.

Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy: The Sequel

I think that’s the rub if you’re coming from a centralized -thing- and move to federated: nobody’s doing any work for you (except, you know, hosting and developing).

There’s no real incentive to “capture your engagement” since nobody’s making money off of you. This was something I’ve seen a lot of new people on Mastodon struggling with – without “the algorithm” to do the legwork, users are left to do a little bit of heavy lifting and curate their own feed.

(To be fair, /r/all used to be a hot mess on reddit as well before it was as big as it got)

Right now your best bet is to hit the front page of your Lemmy instance, click “ALL” (instead of local / subscribed) and filter by New. This will give you a real messy look at what communities are active, and let you start subscribing to to the communities that appeal to you.

I got you

• add ebook reader app to phone
• download ebooks
• pretend ebooks are long-form Reddit posts
• become well-read while wasting time

If you can’t read, download picture ebooks instead

One of the devs is Grumpy Function!

His other games are good too.

If you’re interested in other new games for the Gameboy check out that mastodon instance, the admin released a great game called “The Machine”

I’m actually enjoying the lack of doomscroll.

Since Lemmy isn’t built to trap you for hours on end to get that sweet ad revenue, you can just run out of new stuff to see and then stop lemmying. Bust open the eReader or get to that backlog of bookmarked articles.

I’m still looking myself! The developer looks to be starting a mastodon community (pocketpixels.club) where I found FusionRGamer which seems to have a decent collection of new game news (at least for the gameboy!)

Good to know!

I have a big interest in these new titles releasing on old chips; some of them do narrative / design things which would have never been considered “back in the day”, so it helps spice up the library and really maximize what you can get out of these retro devices!

I was doing a thing with a friend who had moved where we corresponded via snail mail as if we were characters in a fantasy world. I was getting into physically roleplaying the writing process – 3D printed a wax seal for the letters and ended up buying a Kaweco Lilliput Brass when looking for a copper or brass fountain pen to write the letters with.

Next thing I knew I had more pens than sense and more ink than I’ll ever be able to use.

I can also vouch for the Hongdian black forest being surprisingly decent!
