> and fb or console games.

Btw., what are "fb games"?





Possibly a typo of "hb" for "homebrew"?


I find this to be more likely than “frame buffer”.


In a Linux context? "fb and console games" = games that run on either the framebuffer or the text console


It is indeed frame-buffer as suggested by many and not Facebook.

See https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nintendo... for more information.


Farmville, coming to an N64 near you


Frame buffer


Facebook.

Wow, four people guessed (or trolled) framebuffer. Interesting.


It's absolutely framebuffer here. Games that draw directly to the framebuffer. I assume they meant sprite-based games that don't require 3D drivers, for example.


Facebook makes absolutely zero sense in the context of the sentence.


One could argue Facebook makes zero sense in any context.


Why did you mention Facebook? That makes zero sense


What about you? :p


Faecebook? What's that?


I goofed, indeed.
