TIL about the Sega Channel in c/games@sh.itjust.works
[–] flipflapslap@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Sega channel was the shit. It absolutely was revolutionary and we haven't seen anything remotely close to it until gamepass. I think we connected through Qwest, which was a telecom company way back before there were only 3 telecom companies. Goddamn those were good days.

Does it have a docker so you can play it on the tv like the Switch? Or is it strictly handheld? Sorry, I'm way out of the loop on PC gaming

Google is reportedly bringing instantly playable online games to YouTube in c/games@sh.itjust.works

This could be pretty cool if done right. What was that website forever ago that had like tons of those little Flash games... Newgrounds??

But lets be real, this is 2023 and we only do anything for money. So yea, ads.

What. Wtf even is it then, an empty box?? I do not support this at all. I like having physical versions of games that I really love and was totally planning on getting a physical copy of Starfield after seeing the showcase. Damn MS that's some bullshit.

I'm interested to learn more about your instance. It's been so depressing watching all my favorite subs slowly turn more and more political. Even subs like /r/science I had to leave because everything being posted was so blatantly opposing the other side. "Study shows that right-wing conservatives are more prone to impotence" or some ridiculous fuckin thing.

So glad that we are finally establishing a Reddit alternative. I just hate to see it so quickly turning into another shitshow. Sorry, that was kind of a tirade I went on! Anyway, yea I'm interested to know more about your instance!

What Are You Hoping For From This Community? in c/xbox@lemmy.world
[–] flipflapslap@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Video games. What really soured me on the subreddit was the constant updates/posts about whatever lawsuit Sony and MS are in right now. It's stupid, only promotes console war type bullshit, and frankly, I don't care.

"Microsoft Corp ... revealed that the next-gen consoles from both the PlayStation and Xbox lines could turn up in 2028, thus boosting the likelihood of a PS5 Pro or PS5 Slim mid-cycle console." in c/ps5@lemmy.ml

That would be cool if we could get some more games first.

Looking to buy my first DIY 500 series module, could use some help with choosing a soldering iron/kit (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hey all, like the title says, I'm looking to get into assembling vintage 500 series modules and I'm a bit overwhelmed in deciding on a soldering iron. I was checking out something like this but not really sure if it's total junk or not. Thanks everybody!

Sorry for posting a question, but why can't I subscribe? (sh.itjust.works)
 

Where the button should be, it's just text that says 'subscribe'. Is this community not accepting new subs?

Finally picked up RDR2 on sale and Wow in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

I'm ashamed to admit how much time I spent playing poker in RDR2. I would settle in with a case of beer and play that shit for hours. What a great game, Arthur is the man.

Oh man, I've had my eye on the pixel remaster. I've only ever played VI on an emulator. It would be so cool to play those on a console with updated graphics, etc

God damn man, its been like what, a month since everybody moved over here? Already so much fuckin drama. Give me a platform where politics aren't allowed, period. I just don't fucking care anymore. I want to talk about hobbies, and see funny shit, and escape the shitshow that is this planet for a minute or two.
