  • That’s awesome!
    MobyGames is a collective database active since 1999. Years ago I was looking for a “letterboxd for games” and others like backloggd and rawg were missing a lot of stuff and had poor info about releases and so (I never checked again, so they might be better now). At the time MobyGames seemed like the best one, there is a lot of very obscure releases there, but I don’t know if other databases are more complete.



  • So I did a quick search on MobyGames looking for new release since 2020, and:

    • Atari 2600: 10 new games
    • Atari ST: 7 new games
    • DOS: 33 new games
    • Commodore 64: 55 new games
    • NES: 72 new games
    • SNES: 12 new games
    • Gameboy: 42 new games
    • Gameboy Advanced: 9 new games
    • Master System: 6 new games
    • Genesis: 49 new games
    • Dreamcast: 23 new games

    I believe those are the most active

    Yeah, I used to play Diablo II online and Ultima Online as well (other friends would play Tibia), all of these were created for online multiplayer as well, that’s why I thought WoW was bullshit… nowadays I understand the difference in server costs (Diablo II they basically just hosted a lobby and your character data, the game instance would run on the player’s computer and not their server, but the other two games hosted all their realms 24/7 with thousands of players simultaneously, the difference is that WoW were hundreds of thousands to millions).

    Hey @Deceptichum just the other day I found some notes from a time I cared about it (my major is history, but I left college almost 20 years ago) referencing a bunch of shit I don’t even remember reading or writing, and I was curious because it was something about Trotsky… some references to Lenin’s April Thesis being influenced by Trotsky’s Permanent Revolution, how Lenin’s Treaty of Brest-Litovski was highly criticized by his own party, that led him to write Left-Wing Communism: An Infantile Disorder, and how through all of that Trotsky supported Lenin’s position while Stalin was using the Pravda to support the provisional government and the war. One of the notes is written “Kingston-Mann, Esther: Lenin and the Problem of Marxist Peasant Revolution, 1893-1917 pg139” (and I have no idea what’s there :P), and obviously Lenin’s own testament saying Stalin was an idiot and should be removed from his position… it seems like the whole thing was to poke fun at Leninists idolizing Stalin and demonizing Trotsky… perhaps you can make something out of it :P

    ps: I’m not sure I’m tagging user correctly here.



  • That was a very cool reply. I don’t use chatbots that much but I will consider running it locally, just from time to time I ask something to duck.ai or lumo and end up like fuckingshitfuckingchatbotcantdoanythingrightgoddammit

    I mostly use it to grammar check me if I’m writing something I don’t want to mess up in a foreign language, the other day I was writing a movie review and in the middle of it I wrote something like “Has Van Damme ever made a movie that isn’t gay porn?”, and instead of grammar checking the review the chatbot was like, “Hey, it’s not nice to say those things about a public figure. There are no records of Van Damme making pornographic movies and he is not gay, those are only rumors” fuckingmotherfuckerchatbotbloodybastard!

    Well, at least it keeps my hatred for AI companies fresh.
