[ORIGINAL POST]

Yo! Hello RetroPie friends! :)

I miss you guys, but well, my involvement with the RetroAchievements project are not letting me with enough free time to tink with my Raspberry pi as much as I would like...

I came here to show you something I've been working lately. While practicing some webdesign and frontend skills, I made this: https://news.retroachievements.org/

It's a monthly web magazine where you can check what's going on on the RetroAchievements scene. Things like:

Which games received new achievement sets.
What retro gaming competitions are happening.
Tips and tricks about achievement creation.
Achievement creators advertising their work and telling you why you should try the games they've worked on.
Funny games (like a videogame related bingo).
And more...

I also would like to thank my RetroPie buddy @lilbud for creating the RANews logo. :)

That's it!

Stay safe and have fun!

Retro-Achievements is the best thing ever happened to the retro-gaming-scene, simply love it.
