2026-04-16T05:10:49Z

Retro Gaiden only retains data from remote servers for one week. This tremendously cuts down on server storage/ costs. Unfortunately it also makes the bookmark function on posts somewhat useless. A post can be bookmarked, only for it to be removed from bookmarks less than a week later if the post comes from a remote user.

As a workaround, I suggest bookmarking the original post using browser bookmarks.

This leads me to this poll.

Should Retro Gaiden remove the bookmark function on posts?

Quake 3 Arena, Phantasy Star Online, Alien Front Online, Chu Chu Rocket & more were many players’ first exposure to online gaming and it was great… as long as nobody kicked you off the 56k dial-up modem connection!

Sisters, OR - Cute, picturesque downtown. Surrounded by Oregon’s iconic forests and of course the 3 Sisters Mountains

Shiprock, NM - Would be a nice town in a place with stunning desert views if it weren’t for the ever-present and soul crushing levels of poverty & homelessness

#Odysee brought back their automatic #YouTube sync tool as a standalone app after YouTube broke the automatic sync ability on their end. The new app works on Windows, Linux and Mac. :odysee:

You install the app locally and sign in. It then detects when new content is uploaded to YouTube and it auto-uploads the same content to Odysee. A true "set it and forget it" solution for people that don't want to upload the same content manually to both places.
