Would anyone be interested in participating in a sort of retro gaming "book club" style group?

[schykle@mastodon.online]

@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?

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@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)?

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@aks I'm honestly not sure! I have a personal interest in exploring many that I never got to check out as a kid.

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@TeamLinux01 @schykle Oh, that sounds fun to riff on!

Vintage: Atari, Intellivision, C64?
Retro: NES to Gamecube
Classic: ???

[aks@scalie.zone]

@killyourfm well i have some old pc game ideas if needed very interested in this

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

I'm far from being a Matrix pro, but I'm thinking that the general "space" can be for anyone who wants to chat about retro gaming, and then an individual room can be devoted to the people doing monthly game playthroughs together.

@killyourfm @schykle

I feel like N64 to Wii U is pretty Classic at this point.

Do people still consider PS5 next gen?

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@TeamLinux01 @schykle I have no idea where the blurry line of next-gen exists anymore. Is PS5 current-gen, but Switch 2 is next-gen? Is PC always current gen and next-gen? LOL

[lyonsinbeta@mastodon.social]

@killyourfm how does one find that space? (I have just created my Matrix account so this is all~ new to me.)

[baltmatrix@kind.social]

@killyourfm @Jojonintendo @thanius @nausahaver @lyonsinbeta @TeamLinux01 @chris @Btph @gsquirrel @CleanDesign @tylnesh @jsstaedtler any suggestions for a matrix client that works across Mac, Linux and iOS?

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@lyonsinbeta No worries, I'll send invites when it actually goes live!

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@baltmatrix Element is what I'd recommend: https://element.io/download

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@lyonsinbeta Unrelated, but I really dig your profile image!

[aks@scalie.zone]

@killyourfm also i run a small matrix community so if you need any help with it let me know

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

LOL I'm pretty sure people are voting in this poll who aren't interested in the retro game club. But if there ARE 100+ people interested, that's pretty fantastic.

[rocky1138@dosgame.club]

@killyourfm Are you aware of the DOS Game Club podcast? I'm really happy to hear there might be more in a similar vein!

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

Getting some things ready... I'm having fun with this!

[killyourfm@layer8.space]

@rocky1138 I'm aware of it now! It's neat that there's a dedicated Mastodon instance for it.
