That's partly because of actions taken by various governments. Who knows what tech would look like today if Microsoft from the 90s forced us all into Internet Explorer.
Also, more successful examples would be Google. They have done this very thing several times but then keep messing it up lol
I think of "retro" as pixel-based and early 3D games that were sorta killed during the PS1/Saturn/N64 era.
Once we get into more advanced 3D / Polygonal games (PS2/GameCube/Xbox), it's a different era; but it's not due to the visual shift alone, but the design philosophy and craft/code itself. I would consider them "modern" and point to series like Zelda as an example.
Games like WindWaker feel more connected to Breath of the Wild than it does to Link to the Past or even Ocarina of Time. And I think the same goes for series like Mario, Metal Gear, and so on.
Came here to say this.
Without the restrictions of being on App Stores and going through reviews, devs can move so much faster. I feel like two or three times a day it tells me a new version can be grabbed, and it's caught up to and bypassed the alpha/beta apps from Testflight which get updated once a week (if lucky).
I was initially shocked but that’s like 4 months away from the initial launch. I’m fine with that.
The only way the Fediverse gets ready is by going thru the growing pains that Reddit had to when we all fled from Digg. It also wasn’t ready then but the community stepped up and became mods and built apps and made it awesome. We will do it again… and this time it’ll be distributed and much harder for one person to screw over all of us
I do but try to remind myself that “wasting my time” is a concept that capitalism has forced on us bc they want us to feel guilty when not productive.
wefwef.app is a PWA (progressive web app). Just save the site to your Home Screen and it’ll act like an app but be run by your default browser
Also is a great way to browse on the desktop. I have it open on the sidebar for Edge most of the day at work and do the same on SigmaOS while at home
Came here to say this! It’s great as a second unit and is always in my backpack or luggage when traveling
I feel this so hard. The worst is when I put something in a "safe" spot and its lost until I basically move next. 😵💫
Just the idea/concept felt off... someone should have asked why we need a whole game about a side-character that no one asked for
If you are in a friend group that does group messages then maybe. It can get pretty annoying
