Even taking time for +1 and -1 content is useful and counts as active contribution!

lentils! chick peas! beans! legumes in general, they are great! you can integrate them into anything…

(ie. cook a bunch of lentils to eat warm with whatever veggies you can steam… but leftovers the next day are turned into a salad, etc. )

NB: also don’t beat yourself down if you cannot be contributing financially: there are many ways to contribute to the community by posting, commenting, reporting, moderating, and overall just being active and nice ;) your presence and participation here already means a lot!

I am with you on this one, but ask people who are in the business or “retro” and/or ask people who are 15-20yo today! it’s a sad truth: 2 generations ago and you’re already “retro” :)

yeah… PS3 is “retro” now!

Internet Libre o Barbarie!

“Allo, IT? Have you tried turning it off and on again?” ;)

wait until you’ve tried with a PCEngine! ;)

+1.

Also it can be turned into a coolest spaceship, with its CDRom attachment, a very first in 1988!

Also the HuCard format for its games is unbeatable!

you are right. they are now accessible and unified accros platforms by retroarch.

That’s to me part of the delight in modern experience of classic games: to go through these games you never had a chance to complete before! mostly with a few features:

• save/load states (with accessible shortcuts on your controller) anywhere in the game, whether or not the original game had a way to save/load progress, and regardless on when/where the players were “allowed” to save. because we don’t have as much time as we had when we were 12yo…
• rewind. YES. in case you havent played a modern emulator through retroarch recently you may not even have thought it would be a thing! but it is… like in movies. you get killed in that super-hard shmup that implacably sends you back to the beginning of the level every time you die? ever found that a bit… unfair, maybe? well, just rewind, dodge that bullet and keep playing. you may not integrate this new learning as much as if you had to play it 100 times to learn it by heart and get there, but hell, again, the time thing. (also fast-forward comes handy for those JRPGs games, where you had to constantly grind with random encounters in order to level up… think “catchin’em’all” and not having all the time in the world…)
• arcade games frequently had unlimited “continue” (as long as you would shove money into them), while console adaptations we tried our teeth into at home -for the lucky few of us- had usually an arbitrarily set number of “continue”… (mostly -so i heard about the US at least, where there was a huge rental market for console games- to make sure kids won’t finish the game in less than a day or a week-end worth of a rental… and rather be challenge to rent the game again). with arcade emulators, you have all the virtual coins that you need…

Combining those together gives anyone the occasion to just experience any of these games, from start to finish, in a relatively short period of time. a 90s arcade brawler or shmup or such goes in one sitting of usually less than one hour… anyone is free to then decide to practice them hundreds of times until they decide to stop using these features one by one and/or use them as creative constraints along the way of their own training, etc…

In short: modern emulation gaming levels the playing field (pun very much intended) when it comes to making those games accessible to everyone, especially those nail-hard ones, by giving access to a wide diversity of ways to experience them! yay! \o/

welcome home! <3

don’t use it if you’re flying a plane, though!

When people make a joke about a name in a different language than theirs, based on not being able to pronounce it correctly, is it just stupidity, or stupidity AND racism?

(i guess answer depends on whether or not the different language is spoken by a minority in the space stupid people make that joke?)

Let’s start mirroring and torrenting full ROMsets!

Retrospectively, wasn’t a lot of the space-exploration-based SciFi from the 50s 60s 70s serving the purpose of justifying massive government spendings in big rockets, mainly used to build ICBMs, to justify imperialist policies and the cold war?

were we (the scifi afficionados) the useful idiots of this missile race?
