It's been about three days since the Nintendo Network for WiiU and 3DS was shut down.
In case you haven't heard of it, the folks of "Pretendo Network" can help ya stay online and play your games, given you have a homebrew-running device.
Once again a great example how dedicated open-source people can keep things alive. ♥️
Hello everyone, I'm new on Mastodon and I'm excited to be on a social network that is chill, without algorithm and without ads as it feels refreshing, relaxing and the concept of Fediverse / open online is really cool
There are many things I love to talk about but I particularly enjoy talking about Nintendo, JRPGs and Anime.
It's kind of amazing how directly this old Sharkey comic from 1999 applies to the Yuzu story. All you have to do is update the Zelda game in the punchline.
Hello,
I was originally on ppb1701@noc.social, but started my own instance.
A little about me, I’m a Software Engineer from Tennessee. Been #Coding for over a decade, primarily in the .Net world, but also some Flutter and Ruby. I enjoy #gaming, #SteamDeck, #Disney, #StarWars, and #StarTrek.
I miss multiplayer where you were physically in the room with people. Playing online is heccin lame by comparison. Those Friday nights with mountain dew, pizza hut, and a #N64 going with Goldeneye with your mates was the stuff of legend. Life could never get better than that and it never did.
The turn of the century was the perfect blend of internet and local multiplayer. Games like #EverQuest and Counter-Strike existed, but they were well balanced with a booming interest in LANs. You mixed social life with gaming surrounding yourself physically by like minded gamers. It was far less lonely feeling and toxic.
I miss my hobby. What we had growing up has been replaced by a corporate billionaire wasteland. I'd argue #Nintendo are the only company worth investing in if you're a modern gamer. They still keep those old school sensibilities of releasing a, you know, FINISHED complete video game.
