[endar]

Hello

there is a cool retro gaming thing, where we can challenge each other to high scores or other things. it's all legit, new games being added all the time. i am daren42 if you want to join. Is free.

That looks a laugh (although I won't be laughing when I get my arse kicked!). I'll download the Antstream program laterz (after midnight for rubberband usage/cap reasons).

[dng]

Yes, somehow turning 8 bit games of about 16k each into hd streams of presumably 1 gig every few minutes might be the most inefficient use of resources yet

[blombluss]

I know the installer is 100 meg, but I've no idea about anything else.

[dng]

also i couldn't get it to work with my controller. sadface. sorry daren

[dng]

i'm too old for kreyboards controls anymore

[blombluss]

I'm fine with keyboard controls as long as they're along the lines of:

O - left
P - right
Q - up
A - down
SPACE - fire
RETURN - reveal anus

Have you tried

[dng]

not yet but soon

[Mrak]

I saw some sort of woman (!) playing this on twitch. It looked really good

[endar]

ves

i learned of it from a twitch streamer

[vom]

I want to try it but I don't want to turn on or look at a computer ever again

[blombluss]

I know the installer is 100 meg, but I've no idea about anything else.

I've just downloaded it/set it up, and unfortunately for me, in-game, it's as laggy as hell?!? I tried Pitstop II, Boulderdash, and Space Invaders, and had the same non responsiveness on all of 'em. Balls!

bizarro

[blombluss]

Yup! Mind you, my upload speed is: 0.34 Mpbs, so mebbe that has summat to do with it.

[mr_twig]

some person on rllmuk (possibly Ann/Anne Summers?) was involved in this in its early stages, which means I took an instant dislike to it. Now that it's on its hindquarters and begging for mercy (gone free-to-play), does that mean I should have a little look at it?

[endar]

Ves

[mr_twig]

okay i will then

[The Robotic Anomaly]

I will join

I have an Nvidia Shield thing so I hope it's on their knacked version of the store

[The Robotic Anomaly]

Well this has already annoyed me.

It's available on Android TV, but I can't for the life of me find out how to play for free. It keeps asking me to choose a plan.

I don't think they've updated the Android TV version...

[The Robotic Anomaly]

No wait, the same happens on my phone.
This is annoying

[endar]

Well this has been a roaring success so far.

I guess it's desktop only? For nown.

[The Robotic Anomaly]

It is fixed and I can now play. My guess is there's some sort of manual gubbins they need to do to get you on the free tier. It does seem vaguely shambolic.

Anyway I am Trigston

[The Robotic Anomaly]

In terms of lag it's fine. I quite like it - no way would I pay for the abysmal game selection, but for free it's nice.

[blombluss]

Wait... this used to be a paid for service? Bloimeys!

[dng]

it was 10 pound a month (and still is, I think, to get rid of the adverts)

[blombluss]

Who pays who the 10 poun a month?

[dng]

no one

[dng]

to no body
