I have a startling revelation. Upon closer inspection it was a piece of wood.

I have lied to you all.

That's a matter of perspective, I suppose. We've been doing it for about ten years so our vibe, sound, and structure have improved in that time. Not to mention equipment upgrades.

I'd say pick a topic you enjoy and start there, but I don't think there's a wrong route. But if it's super early and we sound bad maybe give a newer show a shot lol

We talk about what we've been playing that week and retro relevant news stuff. We put the timestamp in for those that want to get right to the point.

Retro Warriors 500 - Opa-Opa

Our 500th episode! It's been a wild ride getting here. Thanks to everyone who listens, it means the world to us!

You don't have to, you can just look at this one. It's a visual experience.

[–] bluelander@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

Yeah I'm not sure that would fit under my tv either lol

[–] bluelander@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

A million times this. Retro games aren't just still good, they're better than they've ever been thanks to modern tools and emulation.

I have an i5 with a 1660Ti hooked up to this same tv. And an i9/4080RTX laptop that I do I lot of gaming on. Also a Steam Deck to the right of the Xbox.

I just thought it was cute and fun :)

Yeah, it's not perfect. But it's cute and adds some flair and I'm enjoying it regardless of the exactness of its historical accuracy. Still nicer than another black rectangle under my tv. From 12+ feet away it looks identifiably like "sort of like an old PC case," which is enough for how cheap it was.

I cannot handle how cute this is.

REMINISCENCE across the bottom kills me 😆

Device itself look okay, but I struggle to pick anything up until I know for a fact that the CFW scene is going to be robust and worthwhile. Once I know what kind of firmware I'll be rocking and that it'll be supported by the community I'm a thousand times more likely to grab one. Until then it's just the waiting game.

I'm guilty of tossing plenty of stuff out over the years. So many boxes full of boxes, eventually the downsizing bug bites and I need to separate wheat from chaff.

But the idea that people pretend to have no idea that those things adds to the value confuses me as well. I'm also perpetually confused that people don't understand the difference between something being listed for an amount and something selling for an amount. Anyone can list anything they want for any amount, but that doesn't mean other people are buying it! I could list my copy of Low G Man for 10 billion dollars if I want to, but it's sure as heck not worth that.

Had these on pre-ordered since 8bitdo announced them because I can't resist translucent electronics. Very much enjoying it over my old Keychron K4, although I am already missing my numpad.

The Xbox button actually opens the game bar in Windows, which is a cute touch.

Just wanted to share my old retro game cart I built several years ago in my old house. I eventually moved to (mostly) emulation for convenience and because the cart didn't get used enough to justify the effort and space that it required. But for a few glorious years there it was pretty cool!

Anyone built out a movable gaming cart like this for your retro stuff?
