Yet another of my inspirations as a child, to end up working in #infosec as a #socialengineer as a #pentester and a #hacker was the 1999 TV movie - Pirates of Silicon Valley.

This one was a movie I'd watch with my father when I was little. I loved seeing the old #Apple VS #Windows - and I enjoyed knowing what happened 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴 even more!

The quality of acting, the story...and yep even the low budget. I love this movie. Watch it if you've never done so!

Oh thanks so much!
This looks great, and makes total sense. I should have tried doing a more thorough search to see if anyone else was trying something similar.

Thank you for pointing this out!

I'm just thinking out loud here, but are there many who enjoy #emulation via #PCGaming who might want to do a bit of a weekly or monthly play-along together?

Like a book club for older games?

I know for the #SteamDeck community there is #RetroDECK and #EmuDeck but for desktops themselves the options are many.

Might be nice to all decide on a game to play, then share our thoughts on it via a #?

These things rarely work, or keep up steam...but thinking aloud, it could be fun!

#RetroGaming

My #CozyGaming recommendation for your #SteamDeck today, which does actually have some #SoulsLike elements to it (sounds strange, I know!) is TUNIC

If you love the old (or remake) #Nintendo #Zelda games (Link's Awakening) then you'll LOVE this game:

"Explore a land filled with lost legends, ancient powers, and ferocious monsters in TUNIC, an isometric action game about a small fox on a big adventure."

You're an adorable fox with puzzles and combat, and it is SO good on the Deck

Just a reminder that this photo exists:

#Avengers Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans playing #Tetris via link cable, each with an original #Gameboy while filming #AvengersEndgame 2019.

Probably my fav of all.
I'm not so much a #MarvelComic or #MarvelStudios girl, but I always have love for Scarlett.

And you really can't beat #RetroGaming can you? I love that gray brick-like DMG so damn much.

Hey Mastodon!!

Everyone with a passion for #gaming - specifically, where do you get your #videogames news?

Do you have sites you browse?
Gaming sites? Or an older 'blog' style page?

Or do you follow specific accounts here on #Mastodon or maybe #Bluesky or #Reddit instead?

I'd love to hear where you keep up to date on what's new in #videogames

Okay #mastodon and #gaming

Tell me what game you've been playing lately!

What are you having the most fun with? What do you recommend others here try?

An updated #introduction for #Mastodon to find mutuals :)

💜 #Gaming and the #SteamDeck are far more than just my passion

💜 I work in #infosec as red team + #programming

💜 #FOSS, #Linux and #opensource and #privacy are not only my loves, but things I contribute to and fight for

💜 I am read #books daily, on my #kindle

💜 My one vice left is copious amounts of #coffee

💜 I love #anime and #manga and #comics

💜 💜 💜

Follow along if we share interests, I'm always looking to follow new people!

Calibre cures all when this is the case!

...not to mention the beautiful hardware hackers who are making the cute lil VMU an entire handheld itself!

SO CUTE

Tbh, I really don't like many of the #Sega #Dreamcast games. Some I adore, but most? Nope.

That age in #gaming has really not been too kind to early 3D gaming (at least to me, as I wasn't alive for them!), but from a purely hardware #design standpoint? That console is a dream.

Such beautiful lines and curves, and it STILL looks beautiful by even today's standards. I just love the console, the adorable VMU they had, even the controller is a thing of beauty.

#ReteoGaming is lucky to have it!

@eff

Not to mention a SAFE VPN too, not the awful predatory 'free' options which take the data they compile on you and sell it themselves.

The VPN industry is awful.
Mullvad and Proton are my go-to's :)

Well, considering leaving #Reddit

After moderating and building up my sub-reddit there ( reddit.com/r/SteamDeckPirates ) from 6K members to nearly 28K: for just under a year I find Reddit's new stance where they say they won't allow moderators to make their OWN subs private just...makes me angry

The idea that I do so much, and am not in control (they have done this to prevent further protests) leaves me soured.

#mastodon might just be my whole world now, the #fediverse might be it!

Is there anyone in #gaming or #retrogaming who can advise on older #playstation handhelds?

I adore the design language of the old #PSP - but there are a few models, which is 'the' one to get? Is it the 1000?

I'm just going to get a wrecked old one from Japan and reshell/new screen it. Then the adapter for the memory stick nonsense.

Or am I better just going for the #vita instead?

Pretty photo here just because <3

My #interview with #heroiclauncher developers has been shared by Liam - #gamingonlinux

I'm so happy it won't fade into obscurity on reddit and will instead find new eyes. The community for #Linux, #SteamDeck and #FOSS on #mastodon is such a lovely one!

Heroic Games Launcher is a free, open-source games launcher for Epic Games, GOG and Amazon which runs on Linux (Steam Deck), #MacOS and #Windows

Thank-you for sharing the Q&A, Liam. Its very kind of you to <3

For #emulation on my #SteamDeck, I swear by #RetroDECK. EmuDeck has the most users, but to me RetroDECK takes the cake.

Having all your roms, emulators, bios, mods and files all stored on and able to run on a SD card is pure magic to me. No silly data taken up on your SSD (last time I used EmuDeck it took 34gb with only 3 emulators used)

If you're interested, I wrote a giant step-by-step guide on how to install and use RetroDECK

If you're #gaming and retro? Itll help

Well, time for my #introduction to say hello! I'm back on #mastodon and far happier for it.
I'm a strong advocate for #foss and #linux and I work in info-sec as red team. Some dev work also.

I love #gaming and my #SteamDeck, I do my best to write guides and posts about the Steam Deck, and (maybe?) some of you may even recognize my name from Reddit where you'll find me.

She/her and just...happy to be here. Hope you are all having fun playing whatever it is you're playing, too! <3
