  @irgndsondepp@gts.da-miez.de @COMPU73E@retro.pizza Look what I just found. I think I paid between 1000-1600 yen per game (5-9 EUR). The Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor series has A LOT of dialogue and text messages and no furigana, so I didn't even try to play the game in Japanese yet. The previous owner sunk a lot of time into the game.. 141 hours and level 99 🤯 I didn't have the heart to delete a save file, I'll have to dump the rom and save files first before starting a...

  Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin is a wonderful book about love, friendship, love for video games and game development in the 90's with plenty of nerdy references and it's only £0.99 on Kobo right now. I don't know why they call it "The perfect beach read and million-copy bestseller" but I can 💯 recommend it 😄 https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/tomorrow-and-tomorrow-and-tomorrow-6 #books #bookstodon #gaming

  "Avoid pirated copies if you want the author to be paid." Or, you know - maybe offering any other way of purchasing the ebook than *exclusively* selling them on Amazon Kindle would make it more likely that people buy your book? 🤔 I thought I'd see what the hype over #DungeonCrawlerCarl is all about but I don't use Kindle and our library has a 18 weeks waiting list, so I guess I'll pass. #bookstodon

  I'm currently revisiting #qobuz and it just occured to me that there is no native streaming service app (afaik) that can organize albums (or playlists) into collections. It's so simple and I'm sure many people prefer to sort their music in some meaningful ways without having to run their own media server or pay for something like Roon. While Qobuz doesn't have collections natively, there is this excellent third-party open source app QBZ for linux desktops that does exactly that....

  Had a short break on the North Sea coast, staying in a sleepy seaside village that used to be a popular summer destination in the 70s or 80s. Rainy and windy, but having the whole beach to yourself was lovely. Spent the day drinking coffee, eating cake, fish and chips and watching the tides and the container ships pass by. There wasn't much else to do really. Dinner was served until 7pm, most restaurants were closed by 8 🤷‍♂️ #Nordsee #NorthSea #beach #traintravel #travel

  This looks interesting. New Sci-Fi game reveal from the developer of Citizen Sleeper Gareth Damian Martin, "inspired by British 80s social photography, especially by Tish Murtha." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO4uKabqRQo https://www.theguardian.com/games/2026/jul/01/signet-city-gareth-damian-martin-game-preview #indiegame #gaming

  🏋️ Completed my first #powerlifting meet as a spotter/loader this weekend at our gym's summer max-out and thankfully everything went well 😅 Many new PRs, everyone had fun and the adrenaline and dopamine rush on that platform was real. Had a proper workout myself 😂 I've spotted in training before, but not in a competition with judges and IPF rules. Got some helpful feedback and learned a thing or two. I had a good time, 10/10 can recommend, will do that again :vaultboy: #gym

  "...consumer trends as the general preference for digital media significantly outpaces physical discs. This transition will enable us to align more closely with how most of our community prefers to access and play games.." 👆 This is how Sony PR tries to frame the ending of physical discs as something gamers want. It’s corporate gibberish and an outright lie. There are two more plausible reasons for this move. 1. There is ZERO competition in the digital Playstation games market, there...

  Another day in survival mode. Third public safety alert on my phone this morning: extreme heat warning and a forest fire - seems far away but there is a strong smell, can't open the windows. Thunderstorm, hailstorm and heavy rain expected later today. Stay safe everyone! Most tram services suspended until at least Monday morning due to heat damages. #climateCrisis #Leipzig

  #FinalFantasy legend Nobuo Uematsu has just released his latest work. Merregnon: Heart of Ice is a newly composed orchestral symphonic fairy tale in the tradition of Prokofiev’s Peter and the Wolf, based on a children's book by Frauke Angel and recorded at Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra, narrated by actress Alicia Vikander. Here's some wonderful music to cool off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7PiiqaVvUU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t09B_6p4edA Press rele...

  #SteamMachine prices and pre-order waiting list? is up. I'm not tempted but I like the "fits in your living room" concept and the exchangeable front covers. The prices are obviously higher than a comparable Mini-PC two years ago. But this cube is presumably Steam-optimized, Ai demand has driven up component prices everywhere and the lowest spec costs about the same as a PS5 Pro. Even just a current graphics card for a gaming pc costs still a lot more. I'm pretty sure there is a...

  I haven't seen it mentioned yet but #Vivarium from last nights Xbox showcase looks like an interesting cozy game. Love the 80's Japanese anime art style. Doesn't seem to be exlusive, so I hope there will be a Switch release. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LL_TyajdnGc You play as 11-year-old Jenny, a bright and energetic resident of the terrarium. But this isn’t just her story. Somewhere, buried deep under the summer days and small-town routines, is another life... progress throug...

  RE: https://brunty.social/@brunty/116614292501421866 Paul Tassi is sad and angry - like most Guardians today: "Destiny could have ended with a Final Shape bang and regrouped to bring us the sequel it deserved. Instead, it has slowly melted into nothingness, and at best, will exist as a mere shadow of itself. It deserved better than this. So did its developers. So did its players."

  @fringemagnet Yeah, that unnecessary gendering tripped me up too and there are plenty of old USB cables and ancient A/C adapters I should probably start with. The way I understand it, he isn't suggesting to get rid of all CDs - just the things that are no longer part of your "now". I tend to keep too many things purely for sentimental reasons / nostalgia and getting rid of these things takes a lot of effort and is exhausting, so the idea of "narrating an obje...

  Interesting read about why we keep so much stuff. Guilty as charged: "Jordan identifies three common patterns: the “aspirational self” keeps gym equipment and untouched language course textbooks, proof of who we intend to become; the “sunk-cost self” holds on because too much money was spent; and the “nostalgic self” holds on to what Jordan calls “spirit tokens”, objects kept as proof of a former self. Men and CD collections are her go-to example. The Radiohead album isn’t really about...
