I just want to take a moment real quick to highlight that you wrote out the phrase “Ronald Reagan ball skins.”
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?
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.
idk about you but this is a valid question that could be discussed if you werent so full of yourself

ah yes the gaming v games debate continues on a new platform, very interesting
You can’t remaster that which is already perfection
Nah, perfection was Pinball Dreams on the Amiga, way superior to everything on PC/Windows for a decade. Which is probably equivalent to about a 100 years if it was a car.
You can find several ports of pinball on GitHub. https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android is the android version I like to use.
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?
Careful what you wish for. 2024 EA announces remaster of Zen Pinball.
I played a similar table on Virtual Pinball X. It was a lot of fun.
How about a web version?
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.
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.
Speaking of windows 95, any nostalgia communities yet?
So many hours spent playing this game when I was a kid.
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.
