Got a retroid pocket 5.

Wish I’d done it years ago. Never had more accessible gaming.

And not just retro titles. Stardew Valley, modern metroidvanias, etc are amazing on it.


Definitely. I’ve written some small games. Gave them away free on the play store.

Lasted about 3 years tops before they were removed for not supporting X, Y and Z new features.

Shame. One of them had tens of thousands of downloads.


Tomb raider in 2d metrodivania would be cool.

Same with maybe Doom?



It’s not shocking, when you consider the level of graphical fidelity they’ll be pushing on screen.

The more detail you add, the lower the framerate, on any given hardware. They will be balancing “oh my God!” level graphics, with playable frame rates. The fact they’re shooting for such a relatively low frame rate, shows how hard they’re pushing the hardware.






Thank you so much. That is my concern. However, I’m willing to give it a try as I can still play it on PC. Thanks again for your feedback.


Oh. May I ask your thoughts on the screen size, with this game?


That’s good enough for me. Thank you so much for the feedback. I’ll take the gamble. The game looks right up my alley


Would it work well on a retroid pocket 5, do you think? I’d happily buy it if so.


We’re all different and enjoy different things. How about congratulating someone for making some content on a topic they care about.


My circle is 96.1% perfect, can you beat that? https://neal.fun/perfect-circle/

Somebody stop me!!!







Civ 5 was great for this. Me and another old fart in our 40s played it against each other.



Wait a second. I’ve just woken up, to what’s happening here!


That screen shot is gold. Gaming on Linux is dead to me. Thanks for sharing. It should all be public.


That’s awesome. Thank you so much.



I could have sailed and sailed and sailed. Lived it. Loved it.

Never knew about the Easter egg. Nice find!


If I were to lose 25% of my profits to a price hike, our business would suffer. As would all of us in the business. The stress would be real.

To those businesses that can absorb a 25% increase, and the staff are not hurt, and be OK that’s great.


We’ve all moved on to Godot.

Thank the gods for Godot, because without it, everyone would have been screwed.


The paywall in open source business apps is infuriating. I’d rather they just go full commercial.


And exclusive titles is an asshole move to force users to buy a whole platform for a single game. It’s anti competitive. It’s anti consumer. It should be illegal.


I agree. Stunning. It’s not for everyone, but, those who can appreciate the slow, beautiful, revealing beauty and enjoy taking their time, this game is as good as it gets.

Those that mash buttons to skip cutscenes, may as well give it a miss and try something else


The Steam Deck was literally designed as a proof of concept to try and bootstrap the industry. This device is not competition, this device is exactly what Valve are hoping for, and obviously many others like it. Valve want to sell games and so therefore they want hardware manufacturers to create more devices that they can sell more games on. They also want to do it free of Microsoft’s tendrils and their control.



Valve is an online store first and foremost. Apples and oranges. The rest are playing catchup, as they’ve seen gabe get rich and fat, and they want in on that.


I’d like to give it a try, but unfortunately it looks like it requires the electronic arts app, which I refuse to install.




I’m actually impressed. I used to use animation: master back in the day when Jeff was creating the original videos.

To see it moved to a technically challenging (to create) game of this standard, is a HUGE amount of work. Well done. Can wait to play it


and / or my loved ones


Zelda. The minish cap
So I finally started it. It's a fine game. I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I'm old. I'm patient. Please, please don't mention spoilers if possible. I love to crack nuts the old fashioned way. 🙂

Privacy respecting Android roguelites / roguelikes? Also other privacy respecting Android games?
Hi all, I have shattered pixel dungeon and it's amazing. Love it. I also have and love Unciv and Mindustry. I'm looking for more great games that don't collect your name, contacts, sms history, billing details, healthcare info, gender and race info, location data etc etc. The games don't have to be open source, but it would be preferable. I've donated good money to all games listed above as I love them. So not chasing free. Just chasing trusted. Thank you
