#gamefaqs — Public Fediverse posts

#GameFAQs was started on November 5, 1995.

It was 30 years ago!

"we need to bring back #gamefaqs. i don't wanna join your stupid #discord. i don't wanna use your ugly shitty fandom #wiki. i don't wanna have to dig through poorly-organzied #reddit threads. we want bespoke ascii header art! we want plaintext documents and #guides with minimal clutter that are properly #indexed and #easy to #navigate!"

@usagi704 started playing Seven Samurai 20XX on #PS2. I was looking up some reviews on #GameFAQs and then #Metacritic when I saw a positive review score from Play Magazine. I knew E.Storm was behind this and, thanks to Archive.org, I found that I was correct. #videogames #retrogamer #magazines

I used the GB Operator to extract ROMs from a good number of GB/GBC/GBA carts, including Nintendo's 1990 Golf. I want to master Golf 1990, but one initial challenge is that estimated distances are not included with clubs (Mario Golf for GBC had... some QoL improvements). Like anyone who played games in the early 2000s, I knew where to find the answer: Game FAQs:

This month has really sent me down the rabbit hole extended universe of the new web. From #Mastodon I was exposed to #Obsidian and Marginalia, which led to #Gemini (and a visit back to my old pal #Gopher), and then... then I found someone who has uploaded a complete archive of old #GameFaqs into Gopher! It's like finding the door to Narnia and child-me walking out with a gameboy.

Look at this beauty! v4.20! :weed: Absolute Steve indeed!

@randomdent would forums/message boards count?

I can't remember if it was #Yahoo Groups (which i suppose would be "mailing lists"?) or the #GameFAQs message boards i used first.

Woo, my first #GameFAQs submission, the full game script for #Battletoads thanks to @rainwarrior
