Strange, I distinctly remember it being a big deal that the Wii outsold the PS2 at some point.

jedibob5,

The Wii might’ve had higher sales at its peak, but PS2 had a lot of longevity.

bus_factor,

I figured the 2004 release as the PS2 slim turned the tables again, but that was still before the Wii came out in 2006. It’s possible that story only counted the original PS2 and this chart counts both, though.

Great review! And wow, this thing looks fantastic. After using a horizontal retro emulator, I wasn’t sure if I would ever want a vertical one again. Horizontal just immediately felt so much more comfortable for me. But this one definitely looks tempting. Also, the vertical handheld I have, a Miyoo mini, is really small, so maybe that’s part of my ergonomics problem.

I have a Miyoo Mini also! Mine is a V2, but I know exactly what you mean about the small size. Its basically tinier than a deck of cards!

Between that and this, the ergonomics are night and day. Its far more comfortable. The shock was how comfortable, since it really is a big one!

But I’ve also been enjoying the Miyoo Mini Flip lately!

I’ve consistently refused to buy in to Game Pass. I still buy physical games where available. If it’s only digital, I’ll get the Steam version for my Steam Deck.

Um… you need to sell that Mac and build a computer with DDR4 and maybe a 40 Series NVIDIA GPU (so as to not pay the high prices on both fronts), slap Linux on it (I’d recommend Mint or Pop_OS!), and learn how to set it up for gaming. That’s stupid otherwise.

That screen looks incredible. I’d love to have something like this, I just can’t really justify it to myself. My phone already will play pretty much anything I want to emulate, the only hassle is needing to lug a controller around (one day I’ll buy one of those backbone controllers or something).

Still, as a lover of tech and games, this kind of product speaks to me. I just WANT it. I don’t need it.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Oh I know what you mean! There’s something nice and…IDK self-contained when you have something like this. It’s so well made (Anbernic’s buttons are a lovely thing), but the screen is the shining star here. I love that its 4:3 and forced me to focus on older systems.

The most I’ve played have been Nintendo’s old Game Boy games! Oh and PS1. I’m sure there will be sales with the January discounts coming on Aliexpress, if you do get tempted though!

How do you feel about it running android instead of whatever version of linux like the other handhelds they offer? I have been looking at the rg35xx Pro. I currently have an original rg35xx from before the chip upgrade.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

It has pros and cons I love how Linux has SO many options, and community builds are almost endless. But then again, Android gives you so many advantages. Emulation is a breeze, and if you adopt a front-end like Beacon, it can launch straight into that.

Android made me download a ton of 4:3 cartoons (looked amazing on the screen!), listen to music, and emulators are so very easy to use on there.

I think it’ll come down to preference, but to me Android is an asset on this one. Thinking of GameHub Lite, for example.

I heard some great things about the game.

Tried it out and didn’t see a point. Everything in the ocean is dangerous and you had no objectives.

So you could just stay on your ship forever.

I like to think I won the game that way

Edit: seems like people didn’t like my attempted to be funny comment about the game unfortunately not being my style. IMO that’s what we should have in gaming though, people going out of their comfort zone and trying many genres. I doubted I would like hades much but it became one of my all time favourites.

YiddishMcSquidish,

Saw a speedrun of it during one of the gdqs. Game takes a sharp left turn halfway through and gets a narrative.

Rekorse,

The point is to escape the planet. Its one of the scariest adventure games I’ve played before, super cool. Ive heard some people have gotten over underwater fears playing it too because of how strong the emotional reaction can be.

Hadriscus,

Yes that’s me !!!

who,

you had no objectives.

So you could just stay on your ship forever.

Are you sure you haven’t inverted the cause/effect relationship here? ;)

Hadriscus,

You can’t, if you do so you starve

Grandwolf319,

There was no hunger meter when I played, maybe that’s due to the difficulty setting?

Hadriscus,

ah, hmmm… can’t remember but that might be it. It’s at least an incentive to survive

wait tell me about bongo cat

BlindFrog,

It counts the keyboard taps & cursor clicks (optional) that you make, and your desktop pet cat taps whenever you type/click. As a reward for your tippity tappity productivity, you periodically get random cat costumes and skins. You can also buy/sell the costumes & reskins on the steam community marketplace.

It doesn’t work on Linux for me (mint btw), but I use it on my school laptop

I’m not sure how segregation/listening of inputs works between software in Linux, but if there’s a way around it to get bongo cat to work… 👉👈

yermaw,

That sounds suspiciously like the virus-riddled desktop buddies of the late 90s

BlindFrog,
Gawdl3y,

X11 lets any window constantly monitor keyboard input in the background, but in Wayland, only the active foreground window can by default. I unfortunately don’t know of a trivial workaround to allow that currently.

Who the hell out there is leaving a negative review on Schedule I? Are there actually Drug Dealer Sim fanboys?

SippyCup,

5k ish negative reviews and they seem to come in two flavors, multiplayer bugs and too repetitive.

undeffeined,

It may indeed be repetitve but Its so satisfying. Yesterday at midnight I told myself I would just sell some more Sweet Smegma and call it a night but next thing I know its 2 AM and it only felt like 10 min.

I own a lot of games and I own zero of these titles. 🤷‍♂️

JigglySackles,

I see about 3 I’m either interested in or played. CP2077 is definitely worth getting into. As is Baldurs Gate 3 from what I know of it.

One of the keys to being happy is just letting other people enjoy things.

ChrisMcMillan,

This! If someone could explain that to republicans, please?!?

yakko,

You would first have to explain the concept of other people

scutiger,

They can enjoy whatever they want, but they have to enjoy them the right way!

rainwall,

Pretty interesting tiktok take on this posted earlier today on lemmy about a boomer meme:

https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/just-coffee-black#fnr11

He goes on to talk about what might have motivated the artist to draw the comic, pointing out that nobody has taken black coffee away from him. Pargin says:

“All that happened is the range of options for other people expanded and he perceived that as persecution […] this is not political, this is a human nature thing. Most people are not satisfied to simply have the option to live their life the way they want. They also want to feel normal […] and see that most people have made the same choice they have made.

Echolynx,

Clever take on that, thanks for sharing.

Oh, that’s Jason Pargin. People might recognize his pen name David Wong.

Zink,

Yep and part of that is just letting the things exist and be what they are, even if they aren’t for you.

Let DOOM be what it is for those of us who were the right edgy age at the right time to eat it up. Let the calm games be what they are too, without requiring combat mechanics.

People gotta practice letting go. In general. About literally anything. The correlation I see in my acquaintances between not letting go of trivial shit (including the existence of different types of people that like different things) is stark.

usernamefactory,

Also for those who the “right edgy age” is their whole life.

Zink,

Yeah that too. Didn’t mean to imply otherwise!

In my old age with sophisticated tastes I do enjoy a little Brutal DOOM now and again.
