Basically this.

#Gaming #meme #Steam

Friendly reminder: Retro-Gaiden.com is the best retro-themed instance in the #Fediverse (I’ve looked). :mariorock:

It runs the latest version of #Mastodon. It has numerous custom visual tweaks, over 360 custom emojis, badges on profiles, and great accounts.

The first year of this instance was getting set up & tweaking things. It’s been quite a learning experience for me. As we approach April, things will really start picking up steam soon! :rg_fairy:

Shoutout and thank you to @captainarcee for the suggestion. The mouse icon on the web interface of Retro Gaiden is now the Mario Paint cursor :mariobros:

@captainarcee oh wow that's pretty cool lol. I had no idea you could do that :luigithink:

@captainarcee interesting. Which one if you don't mind me asking?

@captainarcee this looks totally insane :guilded_eyes:

@captainarcee nice :guilded_salute: new prescription or did something happen to your previous pair?

Don’t run from your problems. They eventually catch up to you 💀

I’ve now had a 2nd official wireless #Xbox controller die on me for no reason. These things are complete garbage. It powers on but no buttons work at all. Even with a wired USB connection, nothing works.

WTF is this crap?! The OG Xbox and Xbox 360 controllers were really well made. Ever since the Xbox One, the first party controllers have fallen off a cliff in terms of quality. :doomguy_gib:

@slowlygoingsane this is true, but the controllers used to be great and last several years. Now they’re junk after a couple of months.

After spending the past 2.5 months with a Meta Quest 3S, I can safely say that it's a definitive replacement for the Nintendo Virtual Boy.

I used to own the entire North American VB library and a VB system in perfect condition. I kicked myself for selling it many years ago.

The VirtualBoyGo emulator can be sideloaded along with the entire VB library + homebrew. It's amazing. You get the comfort of modern VT headsets and every VB game without having to change cartridges.

Happy 30th anniversary to one of the beloved #SNES titles of all time, Chrono Trigger! :snes:

It’s been nearly one year since the Retro Gaiden #Mastodon instance was launched. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished here and the little community we have in this corner of the internet.

I’ve put it quite a lot of effort into making RG stand out visually from every other instance using a good amount of custom CSS. The local timeline is also always filled with retro goodness.

I haven’t promoted this site much since it was initially launched. That’ll change soon & we’ll see solid growth soon 👀

The #Kickstarter for an all new Game Boy Color platformer called Snout is now 50% funded with a little over 3 weeks left.

Consider backing this project :gameboy: 🐽

Virtua Fighter 3 introduced a neat concept that wasn’t really embraced in 3D fighters before or since: uneven surfaces! There was something cool about fighting on a set of stairs or a sloped roof :sega:

Got a new plasma TV 👀

This is going to be my retro gaming workhorse.

- SNES is hooked up via composite.
- PS1, PS2 and Saturn are hooked up via S-video.
- Wii is hooked up via component.
- Pi is hooked up via HDMI.

This replaced the old 19” CRT I was using. That TV had some problems that I simply couldn’t stand anymore. This one is great!
