I'm not sure how this with this community at all. This community is about old games not as a place to highlight new games or post dev updates, sorry.

I'm going to lock this

    First time I hear about the Boox Palma, a phone-sized E-reader with Android and the Play Store, does anyone have it? in c/android@lemdro.id

    Saw this on another patient gamers community and figured I'd share it here too.

    HOMM3 was my favorite by far. Such great memories of playing that game in college.

    I've been meaning to replay it recently. Think I'll bump it up in the queue.

    Any other HOMM fans here?

    I've got a Palma. Love it.

    Like others here, I keep wifi off while I'm reading and only turn it on to update my Omnivore articles or update my saved position in a book (using Kindle or Kobo apps).

    I have no idea how the battery holds up for the people who are trying to use it as a phone (ie using it a lot for browsing or chatting and other battery-heavy apps).

    I just wanted a phone sized eReader that could let me install apps other than just a bookstorr. The Palma fits that bill wonderfully.

    I can't play anything that requires precision aiming with a controller.

    A Steam Controller though? I'm way better. Especially with the gyro aiming or micro adjustments on the touchpads.

    I know they are discontinued but as someone like you who had a rough time with those types of games without a mouse, I'd see if you can find a steam controller on ebay or something.

    But I don't play FPSes at all any more really. And with games like cyberpunk, I'm always more stealth than action oriented so it hasn't been a problem. And when I have to use a normal controller and am forced to aim, I heavily rely on aim assist settings. I don't care 😂

    Hey everyone,

    We're coming up on a year anniversary (I think) of this community and I thought I'd do some giveaways to celebrate that.

    It's semi-annoying that not all game stores have digital gift cards you can purchase so there are a few options here.

    1. Amazon digital gift card: for those of you who buy physical games
    2. Physical Steam gift card: the slowest option, as it requires me to leave my house and buy a stamp and mail something (the horror).
    3. Gifted game directly in Steam / GOG.com

    For the gifted games / gift cards it'll be capped at $30 -- after all, we're talking about old games here right? If you want a few games that total up to $30, that's cool too.

    I'm going to pick two members at random from those who reply here as the winners.

    Just comment with what option you prefer, and ideally tell us about what game you'd like to get (I'd prefer to limit the low-effort comments if we can. I like the discussions people have here so please do try to comment more than just "#1" ).

    I'll sticky this post and will leave it open for 2 weeks (end of April is the deadline)

    Thanks for keeping this community a cool place with good discussions!

    UPDATE 4/30/24:

    This contest is officially over!

    The 2 randomly chosen winnders are:

    @Klanky@sopuli.xyz

    @Dymonika@beehaw.org

    Congrats!

    I will be messaging you both individually to get your email addresses or steam/gog usernames so I can gift you your games!

    Thanks again to everyone again for keeping this place going!

    Thanks everyone! (appreciation post) (lemmy.ml)

    It's only been 2 weeks since starting this community up but I do love how active it has been.

    Lemmy was very much a ghost town for me when I first signed up and couldn't find any communities to match the ones that filled my feed on reddit.

    Now I see a healthy amount of activity in this and other communities that have sprung up recently.

    Really cool to see people starting threads and offering the nuanced discussions on games here--which is really the stuff I was hoping would happen.

    Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has posted and commented and contributed to making this community alive.

    Keep it up!

    Hey everyone!

    Figured I'd start up this community as I look to replicate the subreddits I followed now that I'm here on Lemmy.

    My summer project is creating a Lemmy mobile app in RN and I hope to engage with other devs here during the process.

    Hopefully we can get a decent community here.

    Bug: Inbox unread count does not update when you switch accounts (lemmy.ml)
    submitted 3 years ago by to c/jerboa@lemmy.ml
    comment fedilink
     

    Reproduction steps:

    1. Add a profile from some instance that has unread replies
    2. Verify that the inbox icon shows the badge with the count of unread items.
    3. Add a 2nd account to the app from a different instance. Be sure this account either has a different number of unread messages or has none at all

    Expected Behavior:

    The badge on the inbox tab should change to reflect the inbox unread number for each respective account

    Actual Behavior:

    The badge on the inbox tab shows the number for whatever account has unread messages. Changing to an account with zero unread messages will not clear out that badge when using that account.

    GPU Module on the 16 (lemmy.ml)
     

    With the news that the the new 16 series will offer gpu modules for upgrading, I really hope someone makes a non-laptop enclosure for the mainboard +gpu.

    I'd love it if instead of buying non-upgradable mini gaming pcs I could have one of these that offers more flexibility, upgrades, and would be supporting a company I think should be rewarded for their entire ethos.

    Guess we'll find out soon enough.
