Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

  • SNES
  • Every handheld console except for the DS and Switch was a copypaste + upgrade from the last one. GB Pocket, GB Color, GB Advance, GBA SP, GBA Micro, DS Lite, 3DS, 2DS, New 3DS, 3DS XL

"The new console unfortunately is not backwards-compatible." -> riots

...versus...

"The new console is backwards-compatible because it's an upgraded version of the old console." -> riots

You can be backwards compatible without just being a hardware revision. Look at the Wii, while it's definitely built on the GameCube, it has many more features

Every handheld console except for the DS

I'm sorry but it is quite literally a GBA with an additional touchscreen and an ARM9 processor

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

You’re dismissing that way too easily. A dual screen handheld was pretty game changing and not to mention touchscreen was not a standard back then.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Fair enough, I have one and it is really ahead of the time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (4 children)

SNES was top loading with receding flaps. NES was front loading with a flap cover.

Must I point out all of the changes, or can you do some critical thinking before you argue?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Japan never got a front-loader with bonus connection problems and extra empty space in the carts.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The Japanese version of the NES was a toploader, and the NES itself had a toploader version later on as well.

Also, what's with the personal attack?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Sorry, just frustrated to see the same assumption every generation, after ever generation sees massive change. In retrospect, it's probably new people making the same assumption, not the same people.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Do you really consider that to be a meaningful point worth "um, akshually"ing over?
