There's a moment when all old things
Become new again
But that moment might have been here and gone
All I have and all I know
Is this dream of you
Which keeps me living on
So, given the kinda joke about people hating phone calls, yet using voice chat in games, I can't help wondering what people's preferences may be on chatting in games.
When you play online games, which do you lean towards when it comes to text/voice chat, or other options I didn't fit here, contextual pinging (e.g. Apex Legends), emotes, or voice/chat commands (e.g. Team Fortress 2/AoE 2)?
In 1995, Nintendo released its Virtual Boy, touted as the first console that could display stereoscopic 3D graphics. By the following year, it was all over, with the Virtual Boy dismissed as a commercial failure. Here's an extract from @arstechnica reporter/tech historian @benjedwards and Dr. Jose Zagal's new book, "Seeing Red: Nintendo's Virtual Boy," covering the development and demise of the console, and the philosophy of Gunpei Yokoi, the designer behind it.
Will start a little series here about me browsing this Club Nintendo issue from July 1995 (Nintendo Power in the US). 📖
I explicitly bought this one recently because I have so fond childhood memories. It must have been one of the few I owned and therefore read endless times. I still remember so much of the content and now I'm excited to refresh these memories.
The cover shows Asterix & Obelix, a PAL exclusive game series. 🐗
The magazine starts with a presentation of Donkey Kong Land. One of the few games in this issue I could actually play by myself because I had a Game Boy and a friend of mine the game. 🐵
I often borrowed it from him and experienced an awesome jump 'n run with cool graphics and a challenging but fun gameplay. It was mindblowing to control the animals shown in this magazine. 🦏
Morning Folks! It took almost a year of tweaks, updates, and outright system reworks... but I feel like #Diablo4 is now in a really good place with a very fun core mechanical loop.
Yesterday Season 4 launched and this morning I talked a bit about my experiences so far.
Watched this great video about the feeling of "the sublime" (awe mixed with fear) in #VideoGames. Here they discuss it in #Subnautica & #TheLongDark. Makes me realize that this is that je-ne-sais-quoi that I really look for in #games. 🤩
