TIL I learned there's a little tool that lets you download your entire #GOG library in one fell swoop so you can archive it

Consider my inner dragon's fancy to hoard tickled 👀

http://gamehistory.org/87percent/

The @gamehistoryorg has determined through research that 87% of the history of video games is basically not available (especially not legally) it makes me wonder how much of tabletop role-playing history is the same way? How much of anime history (and not just the original version, but dubs as well)?

#aliexpress has a $5 new user coupon so I got two #nDS flash carts to try (as both are less than $5)

This #R4 arrived first, which I expected to be a timebomb clone. Now in hand, it seems I was wrong. I'm confused by so many clones. In case someone needs to know, included links to exactly what I ordered with download link to firmware I put on it.

So #EA is sunsetting/delisting #MirrorsEdge (the original one), #Battlefield 1942, and Bad Company 1 & 2 for... some reason.

Hopefully they'll be "acquirable" somehow after that point because EA decided we can't have nice things.

#MarvelsAvengers is a muddled live service mess, but the fact that it's being delisted in September is a tragedy for game preservation. It's got a single player, offline mode that's worth playing. Exactly the same situation as Driveclub on PS4.

🔥 NOUVELLE VIDÉO 🔥

Le 27 mars, le #Nintendo #eShop de la 3DS et de la Wii U fermeront définitivement leurs portes. Avant de dire définitivement au revoir à ces deux stores, on en profite pour faire une dernière balade !

I'm really kinda pissed with the current state of emulation!

It's still:

1. Look up steps to emulate games.
2. Follow steps to install popular app.
3. Look up BIOS and ROMs by Googling it.

I get why, but I feel that those of us who are technically inclined should have found a method around this by now.

Or maybe there is a solution and I'm poking my head in places that don't dabble in more tech focused methods of "game preservation".

Dear colleagues in #GameStudies, #DigitalHumanities and #DigitalPreservation, dear @r2gf,

Which hashtag should we use for video game preservation? Is there already something? #GamePreservation or #VideoGamePreservation ?
