That girl who plays Steam Deck and writes about gaming + Linux a lot
Watch the YouTube video I linked in that section! Its quite short, and it really shows how utterly crazy that era of car racing was. The footage is soooo worth a watch!
As a girl who grew up with type 1 diabetes, seeing these tasteless jokes in here just remind me of the shitty time kids can have when they feel different to other kids and get singled out for something they can’t control.
So what if its a gigantic mega-corp, they’re doing a good thing here for children.
Disgusting fucking ‘jokes’. Shitty people.
These are wonderful! Exactly the kind of thing I hoped might be suggested - less reviews generally means less known, so I’m excited to try!
I think some people get caught up on the few AAA offerings, and miss the indie car games. But maybe I’m generalizing.
I appreciate these, hope others do also :)
If you want to reach out to me for a chat, I’m happy to walk you through what your phone is capable of doing. Emulation is such a scene now, even low-low end phones are capable of doing so much now. You might now be getting winlator running to play PC games (which is no problem for some phones), but you can even play some basic Switch games. Or worst case if it’s very underpowered, you’ve got so many games from the golden age of RPG’s to play through
…and so on. I know this won’t be the “…the games I would otherwise want to play on PC…” but it is still playing incredible games. So, as always, let me know. I’m happy to help with that front!
I’m so glad, I did nothing, but I do hope you have fun with it!!!

No, they’re not on by default! It’s no error, just making it a choice rather than choosing for you.
I’m not surprised by NSL showing errors, being that it was coded with GPT.
Go to the installed game’s settings and then turn on cloud saves. It’ll have a warning telling you it’s basically in beta, but again - it’s worked flawlessly for me!
Oh gosh you’re way too kind. I wouldn’t call it that, but I am happy to share interesting things here. And I’m so lucky that you all read it and agree with me that it is worth the read!!!
Thank you so much!!!
Totally understandable!
I appreciate you reading through these regardless :)
I guess just on Mastodon!
I tens to post there daily, and I’m trying to force myself to take a break on my regular long-form gaming news posts on Lemmy, and instead focus on my health. I have a important appointment with my specialist on the 17th so, its 50/50 odds whether I’ll make another news post here before then or not
But, again, daily on Mastodon!
And thank you so much for your kind, kind words. I feel like an imposter so often when I share these, so your words are really appreciated!
I’m so glad you liked this :)
I’m just over 10 hours on my desktop PC right now, playing Epic’s version through Heroic (enabling EOC overlay so that achievements are shown!)
And I’m nowhere near completing, but only because I love gliding and exploring and collecting. Its the perfect stress-free game to play :)
Mobile gaming, on Android, is an interesting space right now. I used to buy flagship phones exclusively, as high spec as I could just…because I could. I played a few emulated Nintendo Switch games on them, as well as the odd Game Pass title (with a telescoping GameSir Xbox mounted controller thing) and then I realized I really had no use for them. I rarely played, and my most recent phone purchases have been mid-range.
That said, so much is now possible on Android. You can emulate everything from Switch to PS3, use pretty front-ends to use as a launcher station (a quick note of appreciation for the totally FOSS option - Lemuroid), and as unbelievable as it still is to me, you can even play full PC games like GTA V using winlator
The scene for Android emulation is incredibly dramatic with frequent in-fighting, but also pretty impressive from a technical standpoint. It’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea - and that’s fine, but the mobile scene which isn’t just gatcha games hooking kids on the Play Store is so varied. Then you’ve got actually impressive games like DREDGE getting a Android release, replete with custom builds and changes for the Android system (no lazy ports!). Heck, even No Man’s Sky is coming to Android soon!
This is the second really positive review of the game I’ve read the past few days.
I’d like to imagine I’m responsible for the first! Do try it, it’s really good. It doesn’t feel like other games, there’s no frenzied movement, nothing really skill-based, or reaction-based, you can just explore a beautifully designed world (the art style is so unique), with a perfect soundtrack (Japanese Breakfast!)…tackle things your own way!
Its a beautiful game, not something I’d typically enjoy but slowing down to enjoy a slower game made me happy.
Well now my name has some baggage
It’s just…going to seem selfish of me, because it’s a lovely initiative…but reformatting, citing and posting elsewhere just adds to the ‘work’ of this. I like to contribute to the open-source, community-driven Lemmy world, it makes me feel happy that there’s a space like this around.
But, that said, if you wanted to add it, by all means please do! I’ve zero objections. I just have too much on my plate right now to even consider it!
Thanks for the idea though, it’s nice to see another space where the community writes, cites, edits and posts their own work to be hosted :)
Oh thank God.
I was picturing the community sharpening their pitchforks for this kind of sensitive topic!
(Glad you enjoyed it!)
Do!
And feel free to send me a message, either on Revolt or Matrix - I’m typically online most of the time anyway :)
I’m using Jerboa from droidify without any issue!
