  • The PS2 turns 25 years old today. Crazy, right? Perfect day for revisiting some classics. What are some of your favourite PS2 games?

    Jump

  • oh definitely. Games just felt differently back then. It was rarer for games to hold your hand, too. Not to say that that was always a good thing, sometimes it was quite annoying I guess, but maybe it was part of the reason games felt different. Combined with having to find stuff out on your own, you literally were on your own, yeah.

    There are many things though that make this era of gaming special, this one is just something I often think of.

  • New Steam Deck beta client update: can improve battery life in low power games up to 6%

    Jump

  • No, not quite. 60fps (or 50fps for PAL regions) was basically always the target for 2D games rendered at 240p, because it was easily achievable with the hardware and looked way better.

    When 3D games started to appear with the release of the PS1, Saturn and N64, 60fps was often out of the question because the hardware wasn't powerful enough.

    Interlacing doesn't really have anything to with that. Interlacing just means that of the 480 lines of resolution, only half get shown on screen every frame (always the even or uneven ones). Since the image gets rendered in 480p anyway, it doesn't matter whether or not the game gets rendered at 60fps or not.

    Except when using field rendering, which was popular on the PS2. There, only the lines that get shown that frame get rendered, which is why it only works at 60fps. Maybe that was what you were thinking about?

  • Think nes, snes, and Sega game emulation. No reason to run over 30fps.

    Why would you run such games at half the framerate? 60fps was the norm back then.

  • Any good racing games you have been doing on the deck?

    Jump

  • Just bought that yesterday, I searched for a comment here mentioning it. Im already at it grinding tracks for 30 times in a row for that perfect run that I'm totally definitely gonna get soon.

  • What's a phrase you misinterpreted the meaning of for the longest time?

    Jump

  • Huh I dunno, I feel like its usually used as "awesome", its just rather colloquial

  • Log off

  • As if there weren't enough images in this comment section already

    And yes, I did get this image from here

    Foggy harbor, october 2024

  • Early morning fog

    Jump

  • Hey nice pic, thanks for posting this. It also just reminded me that I still have some pictures to share as well. Better get going.

  • Mario Kate update

    Jump

  • I actually like that left-right motion. It means that its harder to drift and get a speed boost. Not just holding a button like in most other MK games. I imagine its better on a dpad than an analog stick though, so I guess its still good that they moved away from it.

  • Interesting choice with the color palette. I like it

  • Clever Hub Innovates with NES Expansion Port for Gamers | Retro Gaming News 24/7

    Jump

  • I don't know, it's cool that there's finally a use for the port, but just being able to use Bluetooth controllers and having a few audio enhancements isn't really something most people waited for, I think. The price is also kinda high for that.

  • FreeCAD v1.0 released.

    Jump

  • Just tried it out, there have definitely improvements been made since I last tried it, I'm happy to see it get better.

  • What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head?

    Jump

  • This ones great. Where does it come from?

  • What do you like to do during a power outage?

    Jump

  • I recently bough a new flashlight, a Wurkkos FC11C to be exact. It's pretty good for the price, and it really can't hurt to have a good flashlight around. I made a post about it in !flashlight@lemmy.world about it, and there are some other posts too.

  • Excluding all games you have seen mentioned by anyone on the internet, what is your favorite game?

    Jump

  • That's funny, I've actually been playing through it for the first time recently. I played NEO 2 years ago and loved that, and I definitely love the og game too.

    Really cool and creative game, both from gameplay and story. And mate, the music, its fucking art. Like the rest of both games, yeah.

  • File Explorer - a file explorer app for Android with a built-in text editor and tabs support

    Jump

  • Thanks for sharing, just tried it out. It seems really well made, especially since its the first version. It even has a built in PDF viewer. Not bad. I might actually replace Material Files with it, which is what I was using until now.

  • Could someone please try installing this? I'd be really curious to see what Windows 7 on a Steam Deck would look like!

    Jump

  • This is a really cool project. Looks pretty convincing at first sight

  • Based on true events

    Jump

  • Yeah, actually starting and going through with it is half the work

  • What's your least favourite thing about your smartphone

    Jump

  • Yeah, its absolutely not a space problem. The Samsung S10e has a headphone jack, a SD card slot, and has a 5.8" display. Its way smaller than the vast majority of phones today, yet it has all of these features.

    I think we all know the reason apple removed it was because they can sell you the worse product for more.

  • Having the reader on the back was easily the best spot. The only thing I miss from my old phone.

    Finally soldered a battery holder into my GC. This is the first time the clock is running in at least 5 years. More pictures below.

    Played through Luigi's Mansion for the first time. An interesting game for sure, but faaar from perfect. Was still fun from time to time though. What are your thoughts on it?
