Just switched from starfield back to cyberpunk for the 2.0 update. It’s consuming my life again. When I finish the dlc I’ll switch back to starfield and let that consume my life.
Same here dude haha. Starfield was fun, but man has Night City just sucked me back in. I love Cyberpunk so much. I am looking forward to going back to Starfield at some point, it is a great chill out and vibe kinda game.
Baldurs Gate 3 was released on Friday on Mac. I played the preview and some hours on parallels and am glad now I can play natively now.
My problem is, this world is to big. I like role playing my character, even if it is not optimal. I read every dialogue and think: “what would Hsslek (my Githyanki Dragonborn Wizard) do?”
The great thing is, after around 50 hours I now have a picture of my character. A curious mind, not always fitting into Githyanki society, but counting on the Githyanki Warrior who shares his fate and is becoming his lover.
I've always been a PC gamer but I just got a retroid pocket 3 plus so I've fallen down the rabbit hole of old console games that I never played. I'm having tons of fun just building a rom collection and seeing what this thing can do. Best $150 I've spent this year, hands down.
Dynamite cop on the Dreamcast is awesome, soulcalibur is possibly the most enjoyable fighter I've ever tried, and all the Mario karts are great stupid fun. I really need to rebind my controls though, Mario kart is killing my thumb lol.
There's also some great android games that are just so cool when played on the TV with a controller like Streets of Rage 4 and TMNT Shredders revenge.
Those little handhelds look so cool! But I just got a Steam Deck a couple months ago, and I have a modded 3DS, and I work from home and don’t really have a legitimate use for another portable system haha
Maybe I’ll get it for myself for Christmas or something. What’s the OS situation? Or more to the point, is it easy enough to add roms and emulators and navigate to the game you want each time you turn it on?
It runs android and comes pretty bare. You have to install your own standalone emulators, set up retroarch, and supply all your own roms. I'm a bit of a tech dork so setting it up was part of the fun for me but if you want it ready to go out of the box this is not the device for you.
I use Daijisho as a front end to browse through all the games and platforms and its been working well for me. I followed the Retro Game Corps video on setting it all up, that guy knows his stuff.
I've been thinking about grabbing a steam deck for a while and I think a lot of those little handhelds would complement it pretty nicely as they're actually pocketable, though your DS might fill that niche for you already. Steam deck for me would be just be chilling on the couch playing games but the rp3+ seems like it's a lot easier to just throw in a bag and go.
Cool, thanks. I’ll definitely look into the setup before I get one. I don’t mind fiddling to set it up, as long as once it’s set up, it’s quick and simple to use.
Yeah, between the 3DS and the Deck my portable needs are probably well covered. I have a Switch too, but I really only use that for Ring Fit Adventure anymore (the exercise game)
The Deck is a really nice piece of kit. It’s “portable” in a very different way than the 3DS though. I’m not putting the Deck in my pocket, and in its case it takes up a huge chunk of my backpack. Also it’s kinda tiring to play handheld, just because it’s so big and heavy. But for gaming for an hour or less, I really like it. Perfect for chillin on the couch while my wife watches her murder show
I’m looking forward to the ownership base growing—hopefully more games that don’t traditionally support controllers (like Civ and Cities Skylines, etc) will in the years to come. I’ve used the Deck trackpad in games a little, but it’s not an enjoyable experience.
Armored core 6. Finished one ending yesterday and on ng+ today. I’m way more invested in faceless characters than I thought I could be and there was an unexpected anime like fight that hit me in the feels
Funnily enough playing BotW on CEMU was what got me to get a switch, it was just so good I wanted to play it without any caveats or messing with settings or working around the gyro controls and the allure of playing it portably anywhere was high.
The only problem I’m having now is the gyro controls . Only found one temple so far that needs it but I’ll probably be able to get that works with one of my controllers .
I’ve not tried it but if you’ve got some electrical contact cleaner you could spray some in, move it around a bit and see if it resets back to centre. Let it dry out for a bit before powering it on.
As far as I know a lot of controllers (joycons, DS5, etc.) Have the same issue as they all use the same internal part.
You could possibly order one and have a go at replacing it. Seems a lot for something defective pretty much right out the box though.
Maybe I’m bias cuz I use emulation and have a decent retro game collection but does this feel like a cash grab to anyone else?
There couldn’t have been that much about the game that needed to be updated but rather than release it online as a port for 20 dollars they’re make it a remaster and sell for full price.
