Tuned in to Retro Vidya & Tech!

All touhou/VN and other similar posts have been moved to the new >>>/djn/ board, since this place was getting cluttered.

This was primarily a post to see if I could get past the captcha, so feel free to ban me or not, that's fine. Anyway, I use my computer mainly as a Melee and Donkey Kong Country 2 machine.

Stardew Valley for me. Something about it makes me not realise how much time has passed

Personally, I have been working towards completing my backlog for awhile now.

i'm a pooron so it's not like i have a choice to have many games, my most played games so far is acnl for the 3ds, tekken and rdr2. lately i've been playing a lot of dwarf fortress mosltry to take my mind off work

Sims series.

You're not supposed to be doing any guessing at all. A well programmed minesweeper game will only generate maps that are fully solveable just by following the numbers.

>>1877
even given that, the first click will have to be random, right?

>>1880
I don't think this ever happened to me on any variant of Windows Minesweeper. The game might be programmed to not do this.

>>1881

You'd be correct, the game generates the maze on click, not on load

the first 2 clicks are always luck based lol, but the rest is a piece of cake, love playing minesweeper online, you can even play no guess mode so you don't have to click random

We can shift this into a "laugh at the current state of the games industry" I suppose.

As for Marathon, it's come out that a lot of their art, including in-game textures, were stolen from a random twitter user. They also had a livestream where they basically showed nothing and dodged pretty much any questions people had. To the point someone asked about proximity chat and they said something along the lines of "We're looking into a version of this that would work for the game".

I said before that this likely won't flop as hard as Concord but I no longer feel confident in saying that. There is the wild hope that they have something crazy that hasn't been shown yet but I highly doubt it. It's obvious this game needs at least another year to become something even passable but I doubt Sony lets them delay it. I think it drops in September and it hits the ground hard. The game will get cut and Sony takes over Bungie. At least we'll finally get Destiny 3.

>at least we'll finally get destiny 3
Doubt it, after what happened with psygnosis , sony might just shelf bungie and its games for good.

I'm assuming Edge of Fate and Renegades will sell just well enough that when the hammer comes down, Sony will see there's still enough interest to be profitable. It won't be Bungie anymore because Sony will have kicked the executives and taken full control, but I can imagine them seeing the potential of Destiny 3.

So, Marathon has been delayed. No new date was stated but they did say they planned to release it before the end of the fiscal year so Bungie execs can get their bonuses. Pretty much kills any hope I had that they had something crazy up their sleeves. Nope, it's just an extremely bare-bones extraction shooter.

Other than that, there are rumors going around that Xbox is going to be laying off up to 2000 people sometime this week. Whole industry is doing really bad right now. I think the contraction will do good in the long run though.

Update after 4 months

Marathon: I played in the new technical test happening right now and it is worse than before. TTK was severely shortened so getting one-shot out of nowhere is very common. Without some kind of PvE-only mode, I genuinely do not see any way this game reaches past a niche audience. Oh, did I mention people are hacking already?

Destiny: The game hits new population lows every week. Every TWAB and update is worse than the one before. They announced they are going to give returning players a metric fuck ton of free loot when Renegades launches in December. I think this is make or break for Destiny. Hopefully, Sony sees some kind of value in the franchise and keeps it around in some form.

Microsoft: Game Pass cost them billions and they are no longer doing exclusives of any kind. Their next console is rumored to be some high-end PC hybrid that will cost up to $1200. Will most likely be their last piece of hardware.

Nintendo: Switch 2 is the shit as the original, just more expensive. The games are more expensive and are hollow shells void of any substance or enjoyment. Pokemon continues to look like a N64 game.

Sony: Live service era decimated this generation but their other divisions offset the financial hit. Let's hope the PS6 isn't shit.

Valve: btfo'd CS2 schizos lmao

That's all for now. Will likely use this thread to live update talk about the Game Awards. Have a good day.

if there was a way to use my Razr V3 on a modern network you bet your ass I'd still be using it.
