Tony Hawk Pro Skater (the first one is the only one exclusive to PlayStation 1, THPS 2 and 3 came out on PS2)
Hi! I’m an 0Ld Tony Hawk player, so let me break it down. Mouseover the acronyms for full titles.
THPS1 and THPS2 were PS1 first, and then ported to Dreamcast, N64, and PC. THPS2 also got a weird Xbox port with THPS1 levels in it. That’s not counting the portable versions and later HD remakes.
THPS3, THPS4, THUG1, THUG2, and THAW were all PS2/Xbox/GameCube first, and eventually PC too. The PS1, N64, and GBA got demakes of some of these games using the THPS2 engine, and they don’t feel right. THUG1’s PC port was exclusive to Australia and New Zealand 🤨. THUG2 has a PSP port. THUG2 PC mod THUG Pro is where the THPS community lives now. THAW has fantastic ports on DS and 360.
THP8 and THPG were 360/PS3-exclusive, but THP8 was eventually ported to PS2.
THPG and THDJ for DS were actually pretty good. Only the DS versions though.
We don’t talk about Robomodo’s games.
Some more I haven’t seen mentioned yet, maybe just outside the top 25:
lm.korako.me is a Japanese Lemmy instance run by @karasu_sue@lm.korako.me . It’s small, but it counts!
I’d love to see a revised map with all these ones from the comments added in.
!Greece@fedia.io is an Mbin community with the most threads in all of Mbin. Even more than mine!
If the Democrats had any guts, they’d revolt against their leadership and re-organize into a new far more aggressive left-leaning party. But they don’t have any guts, so that won’t happen. Maybe the new DNC chair can channel our anger into change?
That makes sense. I probably should have changed my post title from the original TikTok title. Of course, TikTok users need some kind of dopamine hit within five seconds or they’ll just swipe away to the next video. So, waiting 4 seconds for a floaty crocodile is kind of an ask for them.
When I made my gif of this, I cut out the first 1.3 seconds so it would loop better. For us, it’s effectively not a wait.
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - Arcade
A timeless masterpiece of 2D fighting with beautiful sprite work and a banger soundtrack. Other fighting games come and go, but we still play this one online and in tournaments 25 years later.
I still boot this game up every now and then to knee fools across the screen. I need to try the PC Engine CD remake someday.
My all-time favorite game. It’s peak 2D Mario. SMB3 speedrunning is fun. Glitches are fun. It will challenge you, but almost every level is fair.
NES version really showed off what the MMC3 chip can do. Super Mario All-Stars has a surprisingly deep 2-player Battle Game based on Mario Bros. Wii U/Switch versions of Super Mario Advance 4 contain all 38 e-Reader levels with some wild new gimmicks and combinations.
Pretty good for the price! My main gaming machine is a $60 Anberbic handheld. I had to install a better OS and the tiny best set myself, and it struggles running Dreamcast and PSP games, but it actually feels good to play.
There, I fixed it. It’s a Japanese Mega Drive. Kotik by Tatka looks better too.
Nah, that’s a PAL Mega Drive. It runs 17% slower than a Genesis and the graphics are vertically squished. They buried it so they could use the better NTSC models.
Thank you! I’m trying to participate in other communities more. I gave !physicsgifs@lemm.ee its first posts, and they went well.
My progress hit a snag when a link I posted ran a foul of lemmy.world’s automod and it banned me for a little bit. So, I participated in !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and an admin fixed the problem.
We call that type of arcade “redemption hell”. Good arcades still exist, though! See if any of your local arcades specialize in retro games or Japanese games. They’ll have the good stuff, even if the atmosphere isn’t what it used to be.
Did your instance do something weird here? My thread is a YouTube link.
Encoding the source URL in the screenshot’s metadata is not bad. That would preserve the source credit in places where people simply copy your image and post it somewhere else. We’d have to make sure it’s not saving the full URL of a private conversation, where the full URL might leak a private key or a session ID. Can’t let someone turn on this feature and then accidentally doxx themselves.
Suppose I did fake a screenshot, and I supplied a source link. Anyone could click my link, read the real thing, and call me out on my bullshit. That’s the way it should be.

There’s more evidence for Trump being the literal Antichrist than there is for him following the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I asked Kagi’s LLM AI about this and here’s what it said:
