Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you've played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.
So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)...
I recently played an amazing DOS game where you have your country and you can declare war or peace with other ones, and i really enjoyed it. Growing up one of my favorite DOS games was Gobliiins 3, such cool memories!
Eine Frage an #eltern
An alle die #games spielen und sich damit auskennen.
Mein Sohn ist fast 12 und möchte call of duty spielen.
Aber er hat #ADHS
Er darf #Minecraft und #Fortnite spielen, Handy hat er nicht.
Ich gebe ihm schon kein Handy, in der #Schule wird er immer wieder nach einem Handy gefragt.
Der Druck für #kids ist echt groß aber mit dem adhs muss er aufpassen und er tut mir immer leid das ich ihm alles verbiete.
I saw an article for Star Wars Outlaws and it made me think of all the SW video games I've played over the years, starting from the original SW console game to X-Wing Alliance to Jedi: Survivor...
We're getting towards the mid-point of the year, and (unless I've missed it) I can't seem to find a thread for discussing what our favourite games of the year have been....
Around 2017-2018, there used to be a huge circlejerk online about how Fortnite was the dumbest thing ever, to the point where "Fortnite bad, Minecraft good" was part of the infamous Keanu Chungus 100 meme. Why did it get so much hate, and why did it stop?
A coop PvE game for two dads and three sons?
A shooter, preferably. Any recommendations, #mastodon guys? The youngest lad is 10, so as little violence as possible. Thanks 😉
PS5 Pro is expected late 2024, with the PS6 expected 2028. If Microsoft is to try to keep pace, as someone who doesn't have either console, it will be interesting to see if they also brand this as a mid-generation refresh or if they stick to their guns they've been touting for a while of being "beyond generations".
I'm kinda obsessed with Rogue and roguelike games in general (and weird monsters). I was reading this great article from 2016 about their history that I boosted yesterday (thanks to @WoodooProd for alerting me to it).
As I read and poked around the web to check out these early roguelikes, I loved these two screens from a SUPER early roguelike (Pedit5, from 1975).
Mine is Silent Hill 3. Its subject matter revolves around the fears of a teenage girl, like death of a parent, puberty, unwanted pregnancy (with a demon fetus, no less), mirrors (THAT ROOM shivers), and stalkers. The atmosphere is so oppressive and I cant play the game without having something else playing in the background, its...
Well it’s been a while! Thinking almost 2 months since I’ve been on here and social media in general. Needed some time to clear my mind and focus on some things.
Missed a lot of things in the #Gaming world since then!
Hope everyone is doing well and playing some #Games 😎🎮
Personally, as a customer, not a developer, this is disappointing to me, as there's still no reason for me to shop on Epic when they don't support my operating system, so this is likely just going to entice more developers to make me wait 6 months to play their games. Nonetheless, it's gaming news.
For the #MorningMoments let me ask each of you what the weather is like in your part of the world as well as what your plans are for the day?
For me, it's just a lazy, relaxing day. Not going to do much of anything other than play some Fortnite later this evening with friends like we normally do on Monday's.

Male players: Why do you play female characters?
Got the idea of posting this when I watched this YouTube video that talks about reasons men love playing as girls....
Is there a computer game, or a specific moment, a fight etc that you wish you could do fresh with no prior memory of it?
So hopefully I'm doing this right! :) (I'm still new to some of this so haven't figured out things yet! I did ask this via Mastodon also, but wanted to add more detail to my answer!)...

How big is gaming in linux?
Are there hardcore gamers there or is it mostly for coders?
Which childhood videogame is your playing tradition?
Every year, I will put christmas music and sit to play Super Mario Bros on the NES at least once, since I grew up with it.
Favourite Game of 2023 so far?
We're getting towards the mid-point of the year, and (unless I've missed it) I can't seem to find a thread for discussing what our favourite games of the year have been....
What is the ugliest game that you have ever played and loved?
For me it has to be Toki. The characters were so weird and creepy, especially the bosses!
Why did people used to hate Fortnite so much?

FTC: Xbox-exclusive Starfield is “powerful evidence” against Activision deal (arstechnica.com)
"Microsoft's actions following... acquisition of ZeniMax speak louder than... words."
Microsoft would buy Valve 'if opportunity arises,' said Phil Spencer in leaked email (www.pcgamer.com)
But its prime target was Nintendo, according to a 2020 email leaked during the FTC v Microsoft trial.
