Oh hell yeah, the last of us was amazing!

Majora’s mask next?

Botw seems to have more mods available if that might be a consideration

What free healthcare because it sounds like I’ve been fucking doing it wrong this whole time holding down job after SHITTY job since I graduated high school and don’t have shit to show for it. Fuck all the way off attacking the one thing that brings joy to my life you disingenuous piece of shit.

Could you give a reference? I don’t doubt what you’re saying, I just think it would be helpful for people to see it.

I agree.

My current samsung s10e phone (comparatively small by today’s standards) is too big. My last phone was actually a decent size, but had some hardware issues which is why I upgraded. It was a sony xperia xz1 compact. Before that I had a moto g, and before that a Motorola razr. All better sizes than my current model.

My next phone will likely either be a linux phone, or if those are still not ready then I may forgo convention/convenience and go for some kind of downgraded phone or no phone if I could swing it somehow…

That entire article could have been one paragraph.

Well, my vote is definitely for the best of compilation but either way I’ll still look forward to it 😁

No worries. I don’t think you did anything wrong, I was just trying to share an observation in case it could help 👍

Damn, for half a second I thought that first picture was real. News got me fucked up…

Good to see you still posting these consistently. Most days I just give a thumbs up and move on 👍

Are you going to do a milestone or compilation post when the time comes? Would be cool to see a ‘best of’ or something like that.

Is 70 the new normal then? Was all that theater just to make the <80 price tag seem better?

Seems like a handy tool.

Hmm, maybe it’s just on my instance, or maybe the app I’m using… 🤷‍♂️ (Slrpnk.net and Summit, respectively)

This was enjoyable to browse through, and great job on the formatting too. Thanks for posting!

(The preview picture for that zine seems to be broken btw)

Certainly not the first by any means, but I was really impressed with the way that the Ori games handled diving. The omni-directional controls are 🤌

After some basic searching, I didn’t come up with anything. You’re probably right about the battery, that’s a good point. Thanks for commenting 👍

Yes, I have the built in recorder. That’s not really what I’m asking for though. What I want is essentially something that functions like a screenshot utility, but for video footage.

It would be like how it is on Playstation or something. (Recording is always live in the background, then when you hit the save button the previous 10 minutes or so of footage is saved)

👍

Are you guys familiar with the metroidvanias community on here?

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!

I’ll be honest, I couldn’t get into it much myself for some reason but I know that it’s pretty well regarded anyway. Keep us updated, if you’d like.

Yeah, I didn’t like the shape/feel of the stock sticks either. I never really had any problems with sick drift or anything, but I also didn’t actually own the system for very long either.

To remedy this, I had actually bought some stick caps from skull & co (per recommendations from people on here actually) and they were quite excellent.

Personally, I didn’t like physically holding the steam deck. In my opinion, it’s much too heavy/bulky and even with a high quality comfort grip It just wasn’t working for me. Ultimately, I ended up going with an Ayn Odin 2 instead and I’ve been enjoying my portable/lounging game time much more now. I do miss the ability to play my steam library though. Even though I can still do this with streaming, I just don’t like streaming games as much. Other than the weight/size/ergonomics, which most people seem to be just fine with, the only other thing I’d mention is that steam’s UI is buggy as hell when you’re browsing around the store. I ended up doing most of my browsing on desktop as a result.

All that being said, you can’t deny the draw of it. Even though it wasn’t for me personally, I still like the system and I’d still recommend it to pretty much anybody. There’s a reason Steam Deck is the champ.

Also, look up retro game corp if you aren’t familiar. He just released a video today called ‘dude, just get a steam deck’

I feel like if it drops that much in one year, it’s probably a pretty shit game anyway right?

Ha! That’s good shit. Thanks buddy :)

Link?

Bro, the internet doesn’t forget.

Why even bother? It seems wasteful, to say the least.

What new mechanics would you consider to be in the ‘can’t live without’ category?

Those are all pretty good reasons.

My experience with all of it was quite a bit different, for reasons that were mostly out of my control, and it affected my overall impression.

It’s good to know that some people were/are happy with it though.

I recently tried both the last beserker as well as lies of P, and I just couldn’t really get into either of them. I think maybe full blown souls games are just done for me. Death’s door was great though, I really liked that one! I never got into Tunic, but definitely have been eyeballing it for quite a while now…

The developer interviews sound neat, can’t wait!

Were you happy with the ps5? Genuinely curious.

Hell yeah, this looks terrifying

Those game boy cassettes and physical media section in general are really cool! Thanks for sharing, as always 😁

That’s valid, and to each their own of course.

I got the RP4 when it came out, and liked it a lot, but it was hurting my hands to play on it for a while.

Excellent, I’ll be sure to give it another go on the update then 👍

Definitely, I’ll be glad to check it out. I downloaded the demo, could you tell me if there’s any recommended settings and controller profiles for steam deck?

Hell yeah, looks good!

Made me think of this guy:
