Self hosting kids-friendly multiplayer games on Raspberry Pi 4
I'm working on a little project and I would like to have some multiplayer game that I can play with the kids. Ideally they should be little kids friendly, so no doom or quake.
I tried Minecraft, bedrock but the latency over wifi (and it needs to be over wifi for my project) is really bad.
In an ideal situation, I'd like to have one or more games that
Can be played in multiplayer mode
Ideally you only need the browser
Is relatively lightweight, so can be run on a Raspberry Pi with Wifi
Any suggestions besides the one I mentioned? Maybe some emulator that can be used? Thanks!
Romm might fit, if you’ve got the patience to map controllers. Remember, it’s a BYO rom situation, but that’s nothing the guys over at @piracy can’t help you with.
I suppose it was really only a matter of time.... There weren't really any major features coming out and there where a good number of bugs, but it's still sad to see it go.
Bin immer kurz davor mir #TheRougePrinceOfPersia zu holen auch wenn es noch Early Access ist. Die Gameplays machen irgendwie Spaß.
Aber dann ist mir einfallen, dass ich ja noch #MarkOfTheNinja nicht durch habe. Also war das mein Zeitvertreib dieses Wochenende.
It was a dark & funky Saturday evening. 🍻 #stouturday
Emporium's BRETTIBIX takes their classic stout - Obsidian - to the next level. It's now turned into a funky, fruity and vinous brew... Like a nice funky red wine.
"Brett fermented stout is Obsidian aged in pinot noir barrels with a Brett culture from Belgium."
Play Dead - Dog’s Window - 11.0% ABV. B++, strong, Pilsner, Boozy and Belgian. Very solid Ale from Bridgend #ale#beer#bier
3.5/5. Maybe not the best ale to finish off the afternoon but who stronger and better from the county town of Glamorgan 🏴 #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
Greetings Flamboyant Flamingos (I'm running out of nouns and adjectives starting with F) of the Fediverse, it's the 5th day of the #SteamNextFest , and for me, unfortunately, the last, weekend duty calls, and I won't be able to give proper time to any other demo, so consider this last batch of impressions as my farewell to you all, until the next time
Procedurally generated FPS, from the creators of Void Bastards
The neon/cowboy/scifi setting works, the shooting is way slower paced than I imagined, the unique abilities for the characters are interesting, and the fact that you're constantly chased and need to pick your battles carefully gives a nice tension to the whole.
The demo definitely left me wanting to know more about this project, I'll take a good look at it in the months before its release
Mumbles Amber - Mumbles Brewery - 4.1% ABV. B+ and a bit. Malty, fruity, bittersweet and fruity bitter finish. Summerish #ale#beer#bier
3.3/5. The Pen and Wig, Newport where someone has left a pair of pink trainers outside and the is sweet fruity cider inside. #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
When you drink enough of this, you know when it is over the hill. Nicely presented and topped up without asking. All part of the Cask Drinker’s journey. #beersofmastodon@beersofmastodon
I have a small mini pc as server similar to [1], which has a super nice small form and has an internal slot for a 2.5" ssd disk. Currently I have a 2TB SSD, but it is filling up rapidly.
My options are:
Buy a way more expensive 8TB SSD and replace the existing one
Buy a much cheaper 8TB HDD + enclosure and connect it via USB.
I wonder what are the pros and cons of each option. I like 1 more because the form factor of the homelab is maintained and I don't need to plug yet another thing. OTOH I'm allergic to spending money 😆 so a cheaper solution (about 4 times cheaper) is always welcome.
USB is slow, and will kill the drive if used 24/7. I know it’s hard to expend too much money on a dedicated box for storage but long term you’ll thank yourself for investing.
3TB of data I lost and paying to recover that data? Dammit, hindsight is a bitch
Greetings fiery flames of the Fediverse, it's the 4th day of the #SteamNextFest , we are reaching the sunset of this event, so it is important more than ever to experience and share your curiosities before they're gone ... FOREVER!
(and by forever meaning until the successive fest)
Pipsqueak looks interesting! I don’t know how I missed it when browsing. If you like that GBA style, also check out the demo for Pipistrello and the Cursed Yoyo.
This one caught my eye because of the art (same artist as Braid) but the everything about this game is charming …steampowered.com/…/Arranger_A_RolePuzzling_Adven…Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure follows the story of Jemma, a small-town misfit on a journey of self-discovery. Venturing out beyond her stiflingly cozy confines, she finds an inspiring world - but also one ruled by fear, and a strange, immovable ‘static’ force. Can she disrupt a culture of stagnation, and find a place to fit into it?
This one I played because it’s by Game Maker’s Toolkit from YouTube so was keen to see what he’d built. Also enjoyed this one and it has a cute and polished presentation style. store.steampowered.com/app/…/Mind_Over_Magnet/Mind Over Magnet: Escape a dangerous factory using the power of magnetism. You must team up with three different magnet friends and use their unique abilities to solve more than 60 tricky single-screen puzzles.
