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

@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: ??? -

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.
-
I feel like N64 to Wii U is pretty Classic at this point.
Do people still consider PS5 next gen?
-
@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
-
@killyourfm how does one find that space? (I have just created my Matrix account so this is all~ new to me.)
-
@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?
-
@lyonsinbeta No worries, I'll send invites when it actually goes live!
-
@baltmatrix Element is what I'd recommend: https://element.io/download
-
@lyonsinbeta Unrelated, but I really dig your profile image!

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.

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

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

@killyourfm it looks like they wonderfully worked their subtle skills in the alliteration anvil

@aks Thank you for the offer! I will probably take you up on that. The thing I'm pondering right now is how to use any tools Matrix has to filter spoilers. (e.g. if people in the room that's devoted to monthly playthrough chat want to discuss their ongoing progress, but don't want to see spoilers from people further ahead).
Does that make sense?
-
@jlamasfripp I confidently confess that I adore amazing alliteration.
