(#en4agmq) @lyse I do play when I don't have anything to do (not too often) but get hooked on them until completed, mostly retro games via RetroArch (GBA and PSX), I even set up some sync scripts to play seamlessly on my PC, Android phone and raspberry pi.

(#en4agmq) @prologic there is also disroot, tutanota.com, autistici.org

(#en4agmq) @justamoment Ha. I just tried it and it is hack'n'slay from the early days. Very nice. I like that. Early Diablo Days. Dies already on beast mountain 2 because I increased speed a bit and, yes, gba was faster than me :-)

(#en4agmq) @justamoment @carsten I never played a lot. Just a few games got me hooked for a bit. But that was all just temporary.

(#en4agmq) @thecanine I don't know what `riseup.net`, but I have a feeling I basically did the same/similar thing by purchasing a domain name and setting up some random email routing to an _actual_ email.

(#en4agmq) The engine was this one actually. I recommend an older version of it. It should be in the repo of most distro, Mac in Win should be there too, great for kids wanting to create.

(#en4agmq) @justamoment I started old Pokémon Games had Black 2 on NDS and the other ones on 3DS and Switch. never played the old ones. GBA and RetroArch are really nice. I can play a short time and do not have to download hundreds of gigabytes.

So... What a crazy ass world we live in! 🤦‍♂️ Any of you (I know @deebs does) remember when Minecraft was a kids games for kids and created by this awesome guy and was open source (I believe)? 🤔 -- That is until he sold it to Microsoft (who bought it for stupid amounts of money). What did Microsoft go and do with it? That's right kids! 😅 They forced everyone old and new ever wanting to play the game to have a "Microsoft" account. 🤦‍♂️ -- So my daughter has been wanting to play for some years now, I've said "No". But she's a bit older now, so its getting harder to say no. -- So she now has an account. But in order to protect her real identity and her email email address (I'm her father, of course I'm going to set her up in this stupid ass digital world properly 🤣); I had to 1) buy a random domain name 2) delegate it to Cloudflare 3) Setup Email routing. All this so I could setup basically "junk" / "throwaway" email addresses and create an account with "basically garbage data". 🤦‍♂️

(#en4agmq) @justamoment I never played Crash Bandicot. But surprisingly my wife loved Ratchet and Clank as much as I did. The GTA series was also one I played a lot. Pokemon is just a game you can start, play a bit, an hour or more and put it away anytime you need to. Thats why I like turn based games a lot. In the past Battle of Wesnoth, Battle Isle, Battle World: Kronos, Faster Than Light, etc. you name it. Sanctuary RPG

(#en4agmq) @carsten Yeah, hundreds games with no space, I played the first Pokemon GB/GBA just to analyze it's structure and movement system, not my type of game. What I mostly play are platformers, story based games and air combat. But my all time best is Crash Bandicoot 2. 😁
