  • Soundtracks filled front-to-back with bangers that have stuck with me over the years:

    Sonic Mayhem’s Quake 2 – and, of course, Trent Reznor’s Quake. 植松 伸夫 – Final Fantasy 7. Grant Kirkhope/Graeme Norgate’s GoldenEye 64. Max Lichtenstein’s Pax Imperia 2. Richard Joseph’s Chaos Engine. Just about anything Mick Gordon touches. …aaaaand just about every Mario, Metroid, Sonic, DOOM (Heretic included), Command and Conquer, Advance Wars…


  • I’m kinda hoping someone will point out this feature already exists, but I wish there was a way to subscribe to a topic. Right now it feels like multiple instances are forming their own, say, gaming community, and it feels like this is splintering the community rather than growing it?

    Other than that, I actually really like the decentralised nature – and, while this is likely due to the very early nature of things, man is it nicer here. Weirdly feels like early Slashdot days…



  • After religiously following the order number tracking efforts on the Steam Deck subreddit (finally got mine May '22) it’s been my ‘clearing the backlog whilst sitting with the significant other’ device…heavily punctuated with Vampire Survivors and, lately, Diablo 4. It’s a great little roguelike device – stuff like Cult of the Lamb, Spelunky 2, and Rogue Legacy 2 – that I can just play for a few minutes wherever the Heck I’d like.

    I still find it like holding black magic. I’m a software engineer, and I understand how it works, but playing a Windows port of a PS4 game (like Horizon) in Linux in my hands is something I don’t think I’ll ever not be impressed by!
