Reminder for everyone - the CEO of ModRetro is Palmer Luckey, who is a war profiteer (1), AI weapons manufacturer (2), fascist surveillance state supporter (3), genocide enthusiast (4), and pedophilia supporter (5). Supporting ModRetro means you're supporting fascism. Sorry, that's just the truth.

piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time

Imagine the sales pitch Sony PlayStation 6 Digital only, $1000, no more backwards compatibility with your old discs, ultra lengthy cross-gen period, slow first-party release cadence...what a steal! Is this some sort of challenge? Anger your fanbase as much as possible and see what you can sell?

dealabs/billbil-kun: Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered releasing Nov 3, 2026 from Pipeworks/Atari (PS5/Switch 2 physical, Xbox Series digital, $30/$40) Includes new online MP mode, additional single player campaigns, revised unlock system www.dealabs.com/magazine/god...

I might have had some interest in Horizon Hunters Gathering, but I will not spend a cent on or play even one minute of any Sony live service game out of protest due to the closure of Bluepoint. There were so many things that they could've done, so many games they could've remade. What a waste.

I don't get it. Sony had a heritage of multiplayer games and the only well they drew from was Helldivers. Killzone, no. Warhawk, no. SOCOM, no. Resistance, no. They gambled on new IP, directing studios whose talent lay elsewhere into making GaaS, slashed and burned when one of those new IPs failed.

Even if raising taxes doesn’t close budget deficits, it should still be done if only to keep the ultra rich from accumulating such vast wealth that it distorts every aspect of society. Even if the money is confiscated and burned, that is still vastly preferable to them having it

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

newrepublic.comYou Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential BidShe’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

I'm gonna give up gaming, man. When I see people raving about stuff like this it feels like I'm out of touch and should just quit. Crafting, multiplayer and survival?!!? I can't think of anything worse.

Elite media has always been eager to protect Trump because if he was shown to be so fundamentally unfit for the presidency it would delegitimize the GOP which placed him there and thus call the system into question. Now that he is the representative of American order that task becomes more essential

Right on cue, here are the push alerts from the 3 major newspapers lmao

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

So we get a big budget prestige epic movie of #TheOdyssey and it tooks like spacemen with a Greek fetish. The sword and sandal epics of the 50s were more visually accurate.

Shame any company or influencer that talks about this piece of shit, or the M64. If you actively shill any products from #ModRetro you are complicit in the spread of fascism and the killing of innocents. Palmer Luckey will burn in hell. He deserves to be shunned from society for his crimes.

Frank Cifaldi@frankcifaldi.bsky.social

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Reminder that the CEO of ModRetro and Anduril, Palmer Luckey, is a huge piece of shit and you shouldn't buy the #M64 clone consoles or the #Chromatic Game Boy clone if you don't want to support a fascist and racist arms dealer Here he is doing a Nazi hand symbol next to Steve Bannon, a Nazi

Oh neat, another Cloudfare outage. Isn't the modern internet wonderful? The network designed to survive a nuclear attack now rendered helpless by one service provider having a bad morning.

I am begging people, please stop trying to use Resetera as a source for anything. The entire website is filled with idiots that get high off the smell of their own farts It's not a journalism site, it's a fucking web forum It's like trying to use Reddit as a news source

It's absolutely baffling that of all of the Star Wars games remastered by Aspyr in the last year, it's the Star Wars: Battlefront games that got the short end of the stick. 1) outsourced to an inexperienced developer, 2) extremely buggy and left in a mediocre state with no further patches, ... 1/2

3) No physical edition at all. I don't understand it. The Battlefronts were far more popular than Bounty Hunter or Jedi Power Battles, yet they got treated like garbage. The Classic Collection is probably my greatest gaming disappointment of all time. #StarWars #Aspyr @aspyr.com #JediPowerBattles

Also on the MMCE settings you need to set ACK to 0 and the Warn setting to off. The default 5 and on is just a safety buffer that isn't needed with the current version of MMCE.
