This is my fun social media account, I will post a lot of video game stuff (mostly old or cloud gaming) and some work stuff.
If I post an image with no Alt text it is because the image is just there for decoration and doesn't provide any extra meaning to the toot.

@gpowerf yup, I also have Panzer Dragoon Saga. I bought it from a second hand shop for £30 with a Japanese white analog controller. This was a long time ago though! Also: Burning Rangers, can't remember how much I paid for that one, but definitely not much at all
@Englebert3rd I bought it second-hand for almost nothing when it was relatively new. I was a dummy and I threw out the outer cardboard box... because in my mind it was just rubbish.
Have you got any games that you didn’t pay a lot for but are now rather valuable? I don’t have many, I think this is it. #retrogaming #xp

@gpowerf Wow! This is actually... really cool? Peripheral augmentations! Good stuff! Let us know how it goes for you. I'm genuinely keen.
I've just ordered an ArmorX Pro. It will take a long time to arrive but I'm looking forward to seeing if the gyro controls do give me an advantage on FPSs. #gaming #xbox #xp #controllers
@LoveRetroBTW I was more into Saga, one of the best games I've ever played.

Increase in hate speech on bird site
Researchers using Twitter's firehose—a feed of every public tweet, like, retweet, and reply—have found evidence that hate speech is more widely shared on Twitter since Musk took over. I think this is something we all suspected and saw anecdotal evidence of, but this is some of the first data showing it.
“The toxicity of Twitter has severely increased post-Musk’s walking into that building," one of the researchers behind the work says.

@guyverhofstadt what are the implications of this beyond existing sanctions?
@OtherRetroMatt automatically? No.

Why does Mastodon always flag console pictures as "sensitive content" for me? 😂
How does this appear to others?
@monkiman it is available on console. Some XBox games games like Halo Infinite switch on the fly between controller and mouse and keyboard.

@phant0msn4ke@silversword.online OK. Feels weird to perform better with the inferior control method 😄 if only they glued the reticle to the target like they do with the controller when you are using the mouse.
It made me wonder if I can do micro inputs on the controller to get the game to switch between the controller and the mouse and keyboard kicking in the reticle glueing enough to make a difference. 🤔
Maybe even use controller and mouse. I wonder if that would kick in the reticle glueing or not.

@jdeslip Stadia brought me back to modern games and I also switch to XBox.
@4ScarrsGaming I didn't finish it, I got bored. But graphically... WOW!
@4ScarrsGaming for "Outstanding Visual Style" #APlagueTaleRequiem
What's the consensus with #HaloInfinite? Pad is way stronger right? I'm not the best pad player and I'm outperforming myself with the pad over keyboard and mouse. Accuracy is WAY higher! #xp

How about some more #retrocomputing pictures? Let’s concentrate on my MSX addiction. I think this is most of them, there’s at least two more somewhere, including one boxed Casio. But I’ve sold a few too. This tweet will be public, but all the pictures will be unlisted, so follow the thread
