Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours on Steam. Maybe the PS4 variant has some magic for multipule monitors, too but I’m too lazy to look. There may also be other Darius ports that utilize multiple monitors but this is the main one in the series.
It’s a horizontal shmup that used large displays in the arcade cabinets, that may have been multiple monitors but my memory is fuzzy.
You can stretch the game across multiple monitors in the game settings to replicate the super wide feel of the arcade game. They even have some “cabinet” connection options in the port that let’s you compare your scores and see replays from other players.
while not a novel thing such as extra menus or something, it let’s you play the game closer to its original format.
Assault Suit Leynos on the PS4 (and on steam). The port of the first game, not the “Saturn Tribute” port of the second game. It was on sale on the PlayStation store for $1.99 a few days ago so I snapped it up.
Also probably Front Mission on Steam because of the current sale.
I tried to play Metro 2033 Redux since it was free on GOG but I ran out of time on my lunch break. May dive back into that.
while i don’t have one of these handhelds, i do have a 2ds xl and i had a steam deck that i eventually sold. for me it’s mostly size. i took it to three countries and several states and it was mostly just a burden to carry the deck around, meanwhile the smaller device was easier to toss in a bag.
part of my choice was also that i don’t play a lot of modern games so i didn’t need the horsepower that the steam deck provided. it’s all nuance and preference, i think.
maybe try bazzite? i’ve found it to be a better experience than nobara and steam games run fine for me, aside from the obvious big titles that have anticheat issues.
they have a guide for davinci resolve, too: https://universal-blue.discourse.group/t/davinci-resolve-setup-guide/1197
battlefield 2042… unless i have a squad or some friends, i rarely play the objective. i mess around with gadgets, try to fly the wingsuit to weird places, try to launch vehicles where they don’t belong, try to find clever ways to kill people, whatever. my score is always trash and my team hates me but i’m usually having a great time.
I’m a daily driver of Bazzite and Bluefin. I felt this way initially but it’s been generally painless. I typically check flatpak -> app image -> homebrew -> distrobox when I need something. If that fails, I use rpm-ostree and reboot.
I work in development/devops/infosec by trade and to date there hasn’t been a single package or program that I needed that I couldn’t get running with minimal fuss. I’ve even run a couple of MDM packages that my work requires.
Over time: probably Contra on the NES, Tetris and Bionic Commando on the GameBoy, Operation Wolf and Sinistar in the arcade. DOOM, Duke3d, and XEvil on the PC. CS 1.6 and CS:S in college. The Gears series on the 360.
Then I had a decade or so gaming drought. More recently: Batsugun, Ketsui (Deathtiny and Death Label), Danmaku Unlimited 3, and Battlefield 2042.
i have yet to use one of these digital wallets but i would imagine a large part of it is “because everyone around me is doing it.” not necessarily herd mentality but the social shift of it making checkout processes faster so if you’re using cash or a card, you’re inconveniencing the people in line behind you (however rational that may be is another topic).
i live in a semi-rural area and have seen very few instances of someone paying with their phone. it’s so rare here, i’m not even sure how the process works. tap to pay with a card has only recently been more normalized here. however, when i travel for work to big cities, it seems like the only times cards are used is when there is a large group meal at a fancier restaurant.
i also carry a small amount of cash in case my card fails or a card machine is down but it’s very rare to see cash used here as well, except for personal payments. even then, third party pseudo-bank apps are consuming that process (cashapp, venmo, etc.).
i’m not trying to justify any of these payment processes or mark one as better than the others. it’s just an observation.
I always find myself coming back to Sega Bass Fishing. The old arcade/Dreamcast game.
