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.

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

Faecebook? What's that?

I goofed, indeed.
