Would anyone be interested in participating in a sort of retro gaming "book club" style group?
-
Happy to help promote this community with Matrix’ official channels
-
@thibaultamartin @raptor85 Awww, thank you so much! It's definitely looking like Matrix will be our destination.
-
@wiredfire NOTED! (Now to just figure out how to do that...)
-
@killyourfm @raptor85 It has improved. I haven't had stuck notifications for a while now. *knocks on wood*.
-
@dannycolin @raptor85 HAHA that is exactly the type of behavior I was referring to. Fantastic!

@killyourfm I'd love to be a part of this, it sounds very cool
-
@hertz Awesome! Keep an eye on this thread, but I'll ping everyone directly just to make sure.

@raptor85 ... I just re-read this and I sound so old
-
@killyourfm I would love to join this, but I'm not particularly excited about having to create an account on yet another platform... I understand the reasons, but it becomes increasingly harder to have to track information across a dozen platforms.
-
@hk Totally fair concern, HK. The problem is that Mastodon makes tracking threads frustrating. Multiple people have expressed concern over that, and it's looking like Matrix might be where we land.
BUT... if we can brainstorm a simple way for people to participate in a minimum capacity right here on mastodon, I would welcome it.

Just in case Matrix wins...

@killyourfm I'm currently re-experiencing Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii... does this count as retro yet?
-
@schykle OH MAN I am dying to replay that! Yet another Mario game I started but never finished back in the day.
To your question: I think there's some debate on whether 6th or 7th gen is considered the starting point for retro games, but the Wii is almost 20 years old. I certainly consider it retro at this point.
-
@killyourfm It's just so dang good! Worth a revisit for sure!
I only partially kid, but wow that makes me feel so old because it's still so fresh for me in my mind
I did also play a lot of N64 games back in the day and I know that certainly must count
Looking forward to seeing all the awesome interactions around this! -

@killyourfm will there be DOS and other old PC games?
-
@schykle Does it make you feel old... or young again? Serious question! I spent all last weekend playing Mario Kart and Super Mario Odyssey with my friend and it honestly made me feel young again. It was just pure FUN.
-
@killyourfm @schykle
I would consider it retro at this point.Do we need to define video games like Magic: the Gathering defines formats (Vintage, Modern, Pioneer, Standard)?

@aks I'm honestly not sure! I have a personal interest in exploring many that I never got to check out as a kid.
-
@TeamLinux01 @schykle Oh, that sounds fun to riff on!
Vintage: Atari, Intellivision, C64?
Retro: NES to Gamecube
Classic: ??? -
