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.

With thanks to the folks at Merge Games we have one copy of the early access title Smalland to give away!
If you've ever dreamed of being a tiny fae creature, this one might be for you! Our full preview will be coming Soon™
@AndyGER if you use Mac Linux will be familiar as they are both *nix. You will see the file system similarities. However, I’ve never ever ran Linux in a Mac! Good luck 😄

As my Atari ST is all set up, I might as well start converting my 5.25" collection to digital format.

I like the movie as much as anyone but I'm a bit taken aback at this level of enthusiasm.

@xchido Lots of reasons. Just love the look and feel of the physical console (smell the 70s!), enjoy hunting the games out (although use a harmony cart as a daily driver). The games are simple, just like me 🤣 They're also fun. I can't handle lots of buttons and complicated combinations, so one button and a stick is perfect for me (I'm still rubbish though 😉) Finally nostalgia ... was my first console, so lots of happy memories attached.
@xchido I play both; emulation and original hardware. With the Uno Cart I can play any game I desire on my 2600s or with emulation I can even play 2600 games on the go.
I don’t choose one over the other. I choose whichever one is best at the time, at home I might choose the tactile and nostalgic experience of the light sixer, but on the move I might emulate. It all depends.

If NPR is “State Media” because it’s 1% US funded then why isn’t Elon’s Twitter account “Saudi State Media” when it’s 4.5% funded?
@slembcke @gamingonlinux the most headache free gaming experience I’ve had in recent years was Stadia. Sure, all the caveats about your particular network…but if that was fine Stadia was silky smooth and near paper cut free.

Looks like London Bridge rail station is having issues right now...
Oh & yes I have got realtime rail departures working on a 30 year old Viewdata terminal 😎
I'll probably make this "new" service public over the Easter weekend (telnet & dialup)

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and the "remember me" checkbox.

Sometimes the Steam Deck can just be randomly super-Beta for no reason, and it's quite annoying.
Unplugged from dock: deck rebooted
Loaded game again: steam input broken
Attempt #3...told it to reboot, now staring at a slightly lit black screen.
@gamingonlinux it is annoying! Then again other consoles do have their problems, my Xbox Series S isn’t hiccup free either.
I think the world needs a stage magician who does mind blowing never seen before tricks. I’m here for that 😀
