Chill_Dan, do games w TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld

Do you get to keep the stuff they give you to review?

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

I do, yes!

I’m offered a variety of things to review, but since this is a friend’s site, I’m not paid to review nor write, and there’s no ads on the site…I’m lucky enough to not have to review everything to survive. Or even to keep the content machine going like most YouTubers have to. I just do this for fun!

I just accept the handhelds I find interesting to me, the ones I find most unique.

But I’ve written for a few years now in various gaming spaces, so I do understand why I get asked :)

And I also feel very lucky to do so! I really love gaming handhelds, its a passion of mine :)

Where do you get the games for it from?

If you go to archive dot org and search for romsets, or for ‘tiny best set go’, you’ll see a big collection there!

Tiny Best Set Go is a ROM set specifically compiled for the Miyoo Mini family of handhelds. Its basically the best games for each system.

But…those are ROMs which work with any handheld.

Ironically the large size of it is tiny…comparatively anyway!

MyNameIsAtticus, do games w The best random character in terraria so far
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

Another update? Damn. I still haven’t caught up with the last one. Makes me glad to see them supporting the game so thoroughly

TheSeveralJourneysOfReemus,

It’s 1.4.5 and there’s many QoL features (building platform is finally doable without cursing) and stilistic choices (all characters have cute portraits). Even the door and items handling has been improved, now selecting and closig doors is fast and easy. Also npc can now use stairs so they won’t be isolate to their respective level Beyond that there is a new npc with a dead cell collab (you’ll see it’s the room with the hanging bottles) and even a kingdom hearts one too. I still can’t tell the whole of it because there is a lot of stuff in a single update

missingno, do games w Video games, random friend requests, and scammers!
@missingno@fedia.io avatar

There are a lot of bots on Steam. If I get a random friend request from someone I don't recognize who has only F2P games in their account, or just no playtime in anything that I play, I ignore it.

But if it's someone you've been playing with, that's a human. A bot would've just gone straight to the scam as soon as you accept their friend request.

I'm guessing they're probably talking about Discord, which is what most people use for voice chat these days (and other social media-y stuff). It's not a virus or anything, but it is another proprietary corporate-owned social media platform, which I'm sure a lot of us here on Fedi might have opinions about.

rollin,

They do appear to be an actual human yes, and one who does enjoy playing online games (because we play together and they are getting on with the game just like every other player). I’ve just looked at their account - thanks for the tip - and while they don’t have loads of games, all appear pretty normal paid-for things, and all are kinda similar in appeal - e.g. The Forest, 7 Days to Die. Actually there are a couple of what could have been giveaways/freebies - but all those have zero hours on.

So that does look very normal lol

ToTheGraveMyLove,

Its not a virus, but it is corporate spyware.

You can buy a controller for your phone and have a more powerful emulation device without spending as much money.

supersquirrel, (edited )

True, I recommend an xbox x/s controller and this cheap but great mount the power a moga clip 2.

powera.com/…/moga-mobile-gaming-clip-2-0-for-xbox…

$10 clip + a used xbox controller + your phone and you have a gyro capable (your phone) mobile gaming system with probably the best gamepad ever.

I don’t think this takes the place of a gadget like the Brick Hammer but I do HEAVILY recommend going this route first as you likely already have an adequate phone and xbox controllers are cheap and plentiful on the used market (and their only real achilles heel is they don’t have gyro… which your phone solves).

note this clip uses the model 1914 xbox controller to be precise, xbox controller names are so stupid… but also this clip is $10, who cares, fold some post-it notes/cardstock up a bunch and jam em in there and you can make a different controller work if it is a similar shape and size

I don’t want to use my phone

stressballs,

Agreed but battery life is clutch with mobile devices. Dead phone batteries don’t facilitate travel. Or waiting for your car to get fixed and having this in the glove box … I mean your argument is basically against all retro handheld devices.

ToTheGraveMyLove,

Phone batteries are shit, so I prefer to game on a separate device.

MoffKalast,

Yeah it depends on how much you’d use it I guess. I remember playing some old titles on a GBA emulator app back during highschool breaks, but it kinda got old quickly. Would be pointless to buy something specifically for it unless you’re really into it, but if so something like this that’s well integrated would be pretty neat to have.

alfredon996, do games w TRIMUI Brick Hammer, a weirdly named but beautiful handheld

According to the specs, it has only 1 GB of RAM. Is it true?

trimui.com/pages/trimui-brick-hammer

khannie,
@khannie@lemmy.world avatar

That is actually plenty for retro games. All those old consoles ran on tiny amounts of ram.

PerfectDark,
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Yes!

It doesn’t need anything more. These emulators are so well optimized now in RA that they just run beautifully. Well, with a couple exceptions I noted in my review.

This is a handheld that isn’t trying to do more than it claims, so 1GB is perfect!

MoffKalast,

If it can do it with just that then it’s sensible to have less, since idling memory will use power and the less you have the longer the battery will last.

I’m currently waiting for an Anbernic rg-35xx to arrive, but this was definitely on the shortlist during my research! In the end, availability and the joysticks were the deciding factors, but interested to hear how you think those two compare.

umbrella, do gaming w I don't think we're ever getting the next one.
@umbrella@lemmy.ml avatar

if skyrim is the best they can muster, by all means.

it’s more honest than ubisoft rereleasing the same garbage with a different name over and over again, but trying to pretend it’s something new every time.

Postmortal_Pop,

The least they could do is turn it into an evergreen game like Minecraft or valheim. Instead of just printing another copy, go back and add 5 quests and 30ft² of area. Go to nexus, find the top 100 mods, pay their makers $5 and put them in the credit roll to integrate them permanently into the game. I haven’t paid for skyrim since I bought it for the 360 and I would gladly buy a copy for every person I know if they did something like that.

BigBananaDealer,

thats what they are doing actually lol theyve added a shitton of creation club content to the new editions of the game

explodicle,
@explodicle@sh.itjust.works avatar

Except instead of top 100 mods, they’re absolutely garbage mods that are very hard to uninstall.

PDFuego,
@PDFuego@lemmy.world avatar

They do something like this with Creation Club in Fallout 4. The last thing people still playing want is more updates that break all of our mods every few months to add crap we didn’t ask for. Check out the Steam updates, every one of them has countless comments begging them to stop. I gave up a while ago but I’m sure they’re still going.

Hegar, (edited ) do gaming w Microtransactions, more like Epstein Taxes
@Hegar@fedia.io avatar

This sounds like it's talking about parenting, right? How to motivate kids to read?

Also this is someone forwarding epstein an email from bobby kotick without any input from epstein.

How is it that "microtransaction can be traced to epstein" when it doesn't mention microtransactions and epstein doesn't say anything?

Siethron, do gaming w I don't think we're ever getting the next one.

Has there been ANY word on ES6? GTA6 at least gets news from time to time. ES6 was announced half a decade ago and we haven’t heard anything since

Corngood, do gaming w Microtransactions, more like Epstein Taxes

Isn’t this just some asshole telling Epstein what some other asshole (Bobby Kotick) told him?

And isn’t he ripping on Kotick?

Forcing games to be playable offline or on LAN is a child hood memory/dream come true.

I miss the times, and it’s insane it went away so fast.

Hundun,

Some of my favorite childhood memories are getting together with 2-3 friends to play ad-hoc Monster Hunter on PSPs. It’s exciting to imagine what can be done now with a similar feature being a core part of a game’s design.

Thank you

All the AAA publishers seem to have turned into ponzi schemes.

iamthetot,

How are they a Ponzi scheme?

IronBird,

kind of the opposite of a ponzi scheme, they burn $ paying developers to do work that will ultimately be scrapped before ever seeing the light of day

MantisToboggon,

As long as it some kind of a scheme, I agree.
