Others have covered various points with better words than I can, so I’m going to share a website that is covering mobile phone games releases. not affiliated in any way

https://minireview.io/

Is was developed and maintained by a youtuber covering mobile games. Although he haven’t uploaded to youtube in a year. And I don’t usually check the site so it could be outdated.

And I see mobile ports of pc games are taking more care in translating physical controls to touch screen controls. Still not the rule and definitely the exception, but it is out there. Latest one I remember off the top of my head is balatro and ballxpit.

It’s already happening. Check out gamenative and winlator. Russ also have covered this various times

And with Valve releasing the Steam Frame and their Lepton and FEX compatibility tools, I hope it’s going to supercharge adoption

I want to promote !sbcgaming@lemmy.ml and !sbcgaming@retrolemmy.com because they need help with just being alive lol

I’ve thought of stealing some content from the sbcgaming sub and transpose it here with some of my thoughts but I don’t have any of the boutique consoles so I don’t think I can last

Have thought about doing something similar too in a few other comms that exists here in the threadiverse but far eclipsed by their counterpart in reddit. But I’m too lazy

I remember this day. Was a wee lad. We were on vacation. The TV was on and apparently it was the news. I don’t remember if it’s breaking news but it might not be, since we’re 12 ish hours different time zones, and I remember seeing it at day time.

Well, back then I thought it was a movie…

And the eerie part was that my dad had just gotten back home from a business trip there just a few days before.

Highly likely

I think it’s this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegory_of_the_cave

This is good. I want them to succeed with this. This way it could tell Elecom to open-source their mouse firmware and that could make their trackballs more accessible. Come on, Elecom, I need an improved Deft Pro, with open-source firmware!

Lovely site. Easy to follow, but I might be biased lol

I’ll be sharing this with others in my groups

Don’t have to install anything. Some instance make it the default though, but I think most front end like Voyager or Alexandrite (or tesseract since we are discussing it) you can visit their web page and point your home instance to use their UI.

Edit; I’m copying a comment someone else made here https://piefed.zip/comment/6322459 since it’s pretty consise than what I explained 😅

It’s a frontend. So literally a skin to make a website look prettier and more organized.

Imagine a waiter starts telling customers what foods they are allowed to eat. He wasn’t the chef, the manager, the owner, anybody.

That’s how stupid it was.

It kind of is, considering it’s still an app of sorts, but using the web browser. I just keep using “front end” because that’s what others call it. I see it like an app. but yeah, it’s to change the UI if you don’t like the default lemmy UI.

Hmm. I learned something today. Thanks. I think.

bottom face/hands,

I usually don’t like to play the “English as second language” card, as I take great pride learning it, but I need to for this one lol. what does this mean?

It’s a front end to change the UI of lemmy, and others like lemmy. you can see some examples of others here: https://www.lemmyapps.com/ . Filter by web app to see some of the other popular ones.

I don’t really go on a blocking spree much. How would a front end’s block list implementation be different than the instance’s choice of software’s block list implementation?

I hardly browse All and Local. I am on a piefed based instance, and leave “Enable Automatic Follow of Feed Communities.” and “Enable Automatic Leave of Feed Communities.” on. So kind of my subscribed feed is semi automatic as long as I follow a broad topic.

That’s the way to go. it’s just a silly little nitpick that I have. I don’t go out of my way to make it a big deal lol

Yeah that’s fair actually. Idk why I’m still hung up on that scoring but what you’re saying is what I’m doing lol

I haven’t watched many shows or movies for the past decade willy nilly because of that.

Still weird to me that 3/5 is accepted as bad. It’s middle of the score; it’s average. I have plenty of 3 star movies I watched and I like it just fine.

But yes mostly nowadays I just watch with the right cat’s eyes lol

When the cybertruck was first announced, I actually appreciated how different it looked

Yeah, same here. I usually like weird looking forms for ordinary objects. The cybertruck counts.

Even disregarding the emotional association to Musk, which is nigh impossible, the engineering of the car makes it suck to hell, because that’s all Musk’s decision he forced.

hardcore datahoarders are something else. And a boon when they share it

Oh yeah, thanks for the reminder. I’ve read that somewhere about the Steam controller. I’m not in a rush to buy a new controller, as mine is still working and the availability still sucks here.
