Started playing Tekken 8 recently. Needed something to scratch the competitive itch without too much time commitment. Cool stuff.

But even cooler: my first was Tekken 2. Started replaying it on my phone with an emulator and holy shit is this still a good game! Aged soooo well!

With all the discussion surrounding and people going crazy because, allegedly, #Microsoft may get rid of exclusives and whatnot, it's quite interesting to see the huge success #Sony has had by having a "let-us-get-our-exclusives-on-other-platforms" approach.

When they are about to have a kid, #gamers wonder if they will have time to play #videogames.

Two and a half months in, I can safely say there is time, as long as the baby sleeps.

But that's not the real question.
The important question is: will you have the energy?

Depends on the sleep patterns. But sometimes you really just wanna sleep too.

So worry not if you want to have kids and play games. You will naturally find a way of doing so, just get your priorities straight.

After having a kid and actually being "forced" to invest some hours into the console, I can safely say: the #NintendoSwitch is the best console ever made. Not because it is the most powerful or anything. Just because it is versatile, portable, has a decent battery. For the games and experiences it offers, mixed with the convenience of being hybrid, I think this is def one of the best inventions in the #videogame market.

Just got done with #XenobladeChronicles 1. Shall start #Zelda BotW soon!

Sometimes I see discussions about the future of #gaming. That it's gonna evolve and become something within some kind of hyper realistic augmented reality or VR world.

But why would it? No other form of art evolved in such a way. Music is still the same music, maybe with new instruments. Cinema, probably more comparable to #videogames, also never took that leap and except for IMAX. But even IMAX is not something I'd consider main stream by any means.

Any thoughts, fellow #gamers? 🤔

#NintendoSwitch fans: what is a (J)RPG you would recommend after Xenoblade Chronicles? Already have it's sequels but want to take a break from the series. Turn base or slow combat is probably desirable due to my current evolution from gamer to gamer-dad.

But don't mind the combat too much. I just want to take a break from #Xenoblade for now :)

#mastodon friends, question: what happens if the Instance I'm at, for some reason, goes off?

I've been wondering if there are ways of making sure my content and following remains.

Cheers!

Can anybody remember #videogames whose gameplay is mainly from right to left?

Classic Mario games are mostly 2D from left to right, for example. Does the opposite exist?
