Someday you'll be able to buy physical media for your boutique game consoles written by local artisan game developers like we buy vinyl records of local indie-pop bands today. #playstation #gaming #solarPunk

@tinker@infosec.exchange I think that day is already here, just not evenly distributed (and quite expensive!) https://limitedrungames.com/collections/all/products/earnest-evans-collectors-edition-genesis

@tinker@infosec.exchange for almost any old console you can think of, there's a vibrant community building new stuff. The ones that really amaze me are the new games for the Magnavox Oddesey (https://consolemods.org/wiki/Odyssey:Magnavox_Odyssey_Homebrew_Games) and the Fairchild Channel F (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-qINu6hBVc) !

@tinker@infosec.exchange the ROM community tried to warn us. They tried to prepare us. Also retro gaming is now effectively demarcated at games before 2026 and games after 2026 (with and without physical media), not sure how it's gonna look in 2050.
