@gamesindustry-biz-latest-articles-feed ๐ŸŽฎ Premium mobile games are back, with releases up 77% in 2025 - Love this. The premium mobile games of the early smart phone era were truly innovative. Glad to see they're starting to come back.

Thatโ€™s so cool. Iโ€™ve been meaning to test if my website works on old browsers. I highly doubt it since itโ€™s a lot of JavaScript, but itโ€™s on my todo list to start generating a no-js version.

Movies and TV are moving in this direction too, but at least for now, I can still access a lot of movies and shows on discs (especially from my local library). I can also make backups of my shows and movies if I have the discs available. As time goes on, new tools become available to preserve physical games. Physical games at least gives the chance of future preservation in a world where digital is locked behind DRM- assuming the full game is on the disc.

For me the problem isn't necessarily about physical vs. digital - it's about DRM. I'll keep harping on this: if you can buy your games on GOG- buy your games on GOG!

Itโ€™s definitely possible. I tried to keep everything the same, but there was some funkiness I did when I was in GitHub. Would that also explain why some of my posts show up twice in twtxt.net when replying?

Actually, I think I know whatโ€™s happening. The last twt in the thread is more recent than the original twt, so it appears out of order.

๐ŸŽ‰ I was looking for a client and this was so easy to get set up with. Really like it so far. I was able to get setup on my desktop and mobile devices seamlessly. I canโ€™t quite wrap my mind around that magic. Great work! Only hiccups Iโ€™m encountering is my feed isnโ€™t quite chronological.
