Seems like you’re on the west coast (USA). Me too.
I’m hoping I get to duck out for a bit and take it all in after bedtime and chores. I won’t be able to pull out a telescope tonight, but sometimes binoculars surprise me.
You probably won’t see much in terms of globular clusters in binos. I feel like you should be able to resolve the Leo triplet in them, though I expect it would be a challenge. Probably your best bet is the beehive cluster in Cancer, which should be near the Zenith, the little beehive cluster in Canis Major, and some of the easier double stars (the second star out from the cup on the handle of the big dipper- mizar and alcor- is great) and the Orion belt stars. Good luck!
It’s a larger-scale online FPS (50v50 maps) and a single bullet will kill you even up to great distances. There is no rushing in; that will just get you killed. You need to work as a team and advance with a plan to really get a win.
I know this is not for everyone, but may I suggest you to try Hoyoverse games?
Since they are designed to be played both on desktop and mobile, the game play session can be short but still meaningful.
At least this is what I do. I still play other indie games but Hoyoverse really made be forget the need to buy “AAA” games that are designed to waste players’ time.
I remember when I first started working full time. The exhaustion is real. It doesn’t ever really go away but you will eventually learn to live with it.
This photo was taken ten minutes before the first ever rage quit in a video game to occur … the lab was set on fire and two players and an innocent bystander were hospitalized
The first video game was the precursor to Pong, called Tennis for Two. It was created on an oscilloscope in Brookhaven National Laboratory. Had they thought to patent it, the US government would’ve held ownership of all video games.
I have a RP3+ but after using it a while, Android is too much of a hassle.
Miyoo Mini or Anbernic equivalents running Linux are so much easier. There’s no setup- just put your roms in a folder and go. I spent hours on the Retroid just trying to to get launchers looking nice and emulators configured.
But the critical feature is Android will never have is fast boot. When you hit the power on the Miyoo it saves the game state and completely powers down. It doesn’t go to sleep like Android where the bat is dead a day later. The Miyoo will have power weeks later. And because it boots in 10 seconds right into the middle of the game exactly when you hit power off, it’s not a problem to wait for a full boot.
So I started looking at these two companies. It looks like only anbernic has a horizontal. A lot of those actually run Android, but it appears the best Linux one is the 40xx. Do you know if that’s correct, or any other input that would help me select one? Thanks in advance.
*Edit: Also, to anyone else interested. Anbernic is going to have a Easter sale on Sunday at 11am eastern.
I have/had ( bought for friends or myself) Anbernic 35xx, 35xx SP, rg cube x, 351 mp.
There are so many variations that it’s really personal preference. Like are you doing 16:9 games or 4:3? I wanted something for old arcades like pacman and space invaders so I got the cube. That screen ratio also happens to work well for Gameboy
Yeah Miyoo only makes a vertical and a flip. Retro game corps says the flip has some quality control problems.
I’ve been seriously considering getting the anbernic sp but I know nothing about Linux (interested in Linux, hence being here, but not a tech person so), and very little about emulation honestly. Do you have any recommendations or advice for beginners? I’ve tried reading guides that say they’re for beginners but then they talk about knulli and stuff and I get real confused
They run Linux but you don’t need to know anything. They work out of the box. Guides are for upgrading to different user interfaces. You do need to learn how to make a copy of a micro SD card because the ones that ship with the devices are extremely low quality and will quickly fail. I use the one from Raspberry Pi. It’s for installing pi OS but it does anything. www.raspberrypi.com/software/
Installing a different OS on a hand held is only picking a different image file like Knulli or GarlicOS when copying onto an SD card.
I saw that on aliexpress, but was hesitant because you never really know with stuff from there unless you know the brand or have experience. I’ll definitely look at it more seriously now. Any idea what gen it can play up to? The 40xx can do ps1, but runs poorly with GameCube.
If you look for stores with good reviews and good sales numbers you’re 90% sure you’ll get what you paid for. There are some other sellers for these types of devices like LITNXT, and you can even find them on Amazon (usually more expensive).
If you want anything like PS2 or gamecube prepare to pay $150+ for a device, and most likely it will be an android based device like the retroid pocket devices
Most of these ambernic/Miyoo/powkiddy/Trimui Linux devices are aimed to play up to PSP, and some PSP games will run poorly, they’re using older cheaper chips, so they’re honestly weak devices.
IMO, best case is buying one of these devices for psp and below, and a steam deck or other handheld PC for PSP onwards… And PC gaming obviously.
I have an ROG Ally, and PS2, gamecube and WiiU runs great, but it feels like overkill for GBA and PS1 for example, so, for older emulation I just use this $60 device
AliExpress is really good and reliable now. I get plenty of stuff off there. Linus Tech Tips even recommends it as one of the best places to pick up a bargain on a desktop CPU. They give you a refund if items are undelivered. I look for items with plenty of pictures and detailed descriptions and picture reviews, and I’ve never been disappointed.
The other thing is that lots of deals end up being discussed on HotUKDeals.com and forum users will report back (e.g. cuing a Crucial NVME drive for £30 and posting speed tests and that it’s the real thing).
Don’t get me wrong, I love Aliexpress, but it’s like the wild west. I personally never buy anything unless it has reviews that describe what I’m actually buying. I was looking at a back seat cover for my dogs to ride in my truck. The only review that had a description was clearly about a dress. I did get a laugh thinking about that guys wife wearing a seat protector out to the club though.
PSP had so many great games. I’ve got China Town Wars, Rock Band, Wipeout Pure, Patapon, Mercury Meltdown, Final Fantasy Tactics…and really wish I had the time to get to all of these.
While I sometimes go a while without touching it before picking it up again, the Steam Deck DID take away that “ugh computer desk” feeling that kept me from gaming.
So I recommend it, BUT it’s not a cure, either. It’s just an unfortunate side effect of desk jobs that will never completely go away.
