remaster when?
(lemmy.world)
For anyone on Android, you can get the game here
There is also an open source version you can get on Github for android https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android
... and that was the end of my productivity for the day.
Are we going to have a community that is focused on gaming discussion and another focused on memes and low-effort posts? Or are they going to be combined?
idk about you but this is a valid question that could be discussed if you werent so full of yourself
🥇
Agreed because I don’t like the OP for being a low effort meme, but also I feel like if there’s a community you’re interested in, just go make it.
Especially as people migrate off of Reddit and Lemmy grows. Anyone coming from Reddit who was interested in games knows there is a demand for a discussion/news based community like r/games
Honestly, a community like /r/games without the power mod approach to what articles can be posted would be really nice.
It's definitely a valid question though, because Lemmy is going to be just as vulnerable as reddit to the problem of how much quicker low-effort memes accrue upvotes, which naturally results in them drowning out articles and discussion posts. The latter, despite being more interesting and generally "higher-quality", will always take more time per-user to engage with - so, in systems like this, they naturally fall behind in both pace and volume of upvote.
What is there to remaster?
I'll let Dave explain: https://youtu.be/ThxdvEajK8g
And here's the blog from the other guy - https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20121218-00/?p=5803
Hey, Dave!
If only I could be as cool as that Dave.
Best comment here, please remember to boost this post so people can see it!
Twas remastered in 2021 in the Microsoft Store my dude. Have fun
I just tried it, and wow, that is really bad actually. Genuinely much worse than finding a download of the original version.
Do you happen to know where I could find an original download?
You can always go check out Dave's garage on YouTube hes got a nice video on it and links to aquire it
Looks like that one is from 2013 and last updated in 2015, so what happened to 2021?
Isn't there already a remaster? I came around this one from the KDE discovery.
It's not really a remaster, it's an open-source re-implementation. But I guess it could be used as a base for a remaster
Who needs a remaster? This is perfect.
It would be soo cool if they open-sourced this game at this point.
.. like why not?
Honestly I’m bored enough to open Unity and get to work, but someone’s probably already got a project on GitHub.
Speaking of windows 95, any nostalgia communities yet?
Make one, I'll sub.
I'm pretty sure I still have that on a 3.5" floppy somewhere. I also have a 3.5" drive that could read it, but I have nothing I could plug it into.
I did play the hell out of this game back in the day, but there was an even older one that only worked in dos mode. I can't remember the name, but I loved that version.
Will it have paid day-one DLC? Online leaderboards and rankings? NFTs? Requires constant online connectivity? Battlepass with flipper cosmetics?
Like the crap they slapped onto solitaire? That was ridiculous.
Tell me your joking
So many hours spent playing this game when I was a kid.
They made a remake for Windows store a while ago, and it was awful
After they remaster this, they should remaster SkiFree!
