Mateng, 2 years ago in Reddit refugees, has your favorite sub migrated already?

I'm a sucker at using the kbin / Lemmy search. I am still looking for these communities:

/r/atbge
/r/justfuckmyshitup
/r/catsareassholes
/r/thecatdimension
/r/KidsAreFuckingStupid
/r/cologne or / r/koeln
/r/parents or /r/eltern
/r/djs or /r/beatmatch
/r/house or /r/deephouse

There are probably more... If noone knows where these communities exist on Lemmy or kbin, I will create them! Maybe you can help me deciding on which instance it would be best. I can do lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, feddit.de and kbin.

Flaky_Fish69, 2 years ago in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

First video game I remember playing? Short Order on NES (with the pad.) That was followed shortly by monopoly- also NES.

First game I beat? was dad's copy of Zelda (NES,) Which... I wasn't supposed to be playing. I got caught when I saw my dad was struggling with the water temple.
"Dad...dad DAD. you go here. get that. Do this. And then do this that and this."
"Oh. Cool. wait. how do you know this?"
"Oh i beat it last week."
<awkward pause>
"you better pay attention. that's the boss."
"We're not telling mom about this."

Kolanaki, 2 years ago in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I only get a new phone when my current phone just dies. The hardware for even the best phones out there really doesn’t change much even in 5 year spans. It’s actually kind of annoying. The biggest difference between the phone I have now and the first smart phone I ever had is a few hundred cycles faster CPU and it has 4 cameras instead of just 2.

I wish these things were like a desktop PC and I could just buy parts and build it myself so I could have the raw power I want.

No difference between 4GB of RAM and 12GB

You… You’re serious? I guess if you’re a super casual user, it won’t matter. But if you want to do more at once, you need more RAM. Shit, even if you don’t more RAM does make a difference when the apps start consuming more and more as time goes on.

So when my last phone was nearing death i finally made the decision to get myself a Fairphone. Plan is to save money in the long run by just replacing parts as they break not the whole device. Plus it’s one of the only phones out there with a replaceable battery. The modular design makes it quite bulky but I actually like that as well.

My old phone with 3GB ram was hell (granted it had a weak SoC too). Now that I have 8GB (on a midrange phone too), it’s become much more enjoyable to use my phone. Everything is snappy, nothing ever freezes

The Megapixel “argument” is also laughable. Like you said, casuals can’t know the difference.

crossfadedragon, 2 years ago in What is the best peice of media you ever interacted with?

it’s a 3 way tie between link’s awakening [original], a link to the past, and ocarina of time for me. loved the mechanics, music, and just exploring.

sagrotan, 2 years ago in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

My mother in law died after long sickness and she kinda connected phones, not the best, not the most expensive, but now I’m stuck with 8 phones, all ok for me, this one has that, and that one has this, I’m very confused what I should do, but on principle I’ll never to buy a phones for 1300 € plus, that’s about what a decent one would cost me these days, nope, never. Now I’m up to rooting My collection of Chinese spying apparati, yeah! I WILL SURVIVE THIS! Cheaply!

axtualdave, 2 years ago in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

The first one I played was Zelda, on a gold cartridge, on the original NES.

The oldest system I played on was an Atari.

The oldest system I played games on was an Appie IIe, and it was Sticky Bear Basket Bounce. That game is like, my youth.

visnudeva, 2 years ago in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

The first I owned was Alex kid on Sega master system

counselwolf, 2 years ago in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

I remember it was duck hunt or an snes game of Popeye which is based on the original Donkey Kong iirc.

Shurimal, 2 years ago in What's the point of buying new phones every years?

I upgrade when the opsys gets hopelessly outdated (as in apps no longer supporting it) or the device physically breaks. My last phone (Huawei Ascend P7) lasted for 7 years, but the Android 4.4 got just a bit too old, plus I cracked the screen a month after removing the battered to hell glass screen protector...

I don't care much about the phone not getting OS updates since I don't keep anything important on a phone in the first place and I don't care much about CPU/GPU performance since I don't run intensive apps on my phone—that's what my desktop and server are for. My current phone I bought last year will last probably for 5 more years.

GTA San Andreas on the PS2! (Barely remember it though because I was a smol wee little boy)

Other than that, Skyrim! This freakin game introduced me to the wonderful world of Bethesda Games! ❤️

Edit: Boy, there are many people here with decades of experience. I’m just 21, guys, don’t make me feel left out 🥲

crossfadedragon, 2 years ago (edited 2 years ago)

deleted. double post.

ok apparently not double post.

i had gta3 up to san andreas on ps2 and pc. played a multiplayer mod for san an, glitchy but fun.

elder scrolls is fun. need to get back to daggerfall unity and finish it.

Got it! Thanks!

ElectronSoup, 2 years ago in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

The first game I played was Space Invaders in my dad's local pub, he took me specifically to see and experience it.

The first to play at home was a variant of the grandstand 5000.

Then I played an atari 2600 at a cousin's house, and I fell in love with centipede.

I vaguely remember playing Aladdin on the N64 and a ton of Super Mario 64, that game was oddly ominous in my memories
