@Moot@snouts.online yeah, yikes

(And this is why emulation is neat/necessary)

Anyway, this is why I like to keep track of and talk about old games, plus point out when there’s a neat oldie that you cannot possibly buy and run on modern hardware.

@Moot@snouts.online and these sorts of things don’t have category labels; I want to know what’s free with a $2 to remove ads and what really really wants me to drop a hundo

@poss_bot (plus also Certain Companies are either uninterested in keeping their legacy titles in public consciousness or actively make them hard to get in convenient formats so that nostalgia becomes stronger than authentic new experiences)

@poss_bot I’ve been thinking about this. We’re at a weird point in time where the xbla/virtual console optimism is gone and those marketplaces are being shuttered. We lost, again, stuff that we had found. And because of the emulation difficulty, there’s plenty of 360/ps3 games that might just end up forgotten

@poss_bot REST IN PEACE BUG PRINCESS

@poss_bot My favorite niche on mobile are digital board games. That’s one area where the focus on touchscreens has brought us a lot of great conversions that probably wouldn’t otherwise exist, and push notifications make a lot of sense for correspondence play.

But these days you can’t really even find clever arcade experiences that aren’t riddled with ads and upgrade loops.

@poss_bot yeah... plus the whole app-ocalypse thing (iOS demanding 64 bit apps and a reapproval for everything) means the back catalogue is pretty weak.

Also Candy Crush has been the top grossing game for about six years. Healthy marketplace~

My stubborn refusal of exploitative monetization means there’s really not much to play on my phone.

@Moot@snouts.online (and unfortunately this kind of IAP interface with a $100 “best value” option is pretty standard in the current market)

@Moot@snouts.online It’s called Trigger Heroes and I tried it out because of buff animals in power armor

It’s “free” but serves ads and wants you to buy iap to accelerate all the upgrades

This cute nuclear throne knockoff wants me to pay over $20 to play as the frog. LOL, no sympathy for crap like this.

does completing the optional puzzles and the extra encounter affect the ending in some way?

just kidding, I am not spoiling this for you! If you enjoyed Undertale go play this!

It reeks of privilege to say something like this. Kanye, your ideas about the world hurt people and you need to do WAY more if you want to redeem yourself.
