Thanks for this review!
I haven’t found any information regarding external controllers or DisplayPort at the USB-C output both at the sepcifications and your review.
I’m aware that it is not the intended use case to make it a kind of stationary console. But to be honest, I’d very much appreciate being able to attach it to an external monitor and use a separate controller when playing at home.
I figure this is the wrong type of device for me then, but wanted to ask you just to be sure about it.
Yes you’re right, this handheld won’t do video out. That’s both a software and hardware limitation on this one, but so many of these handhelds do that with ease. Its just a case of narrowing down which one is right for you.
The last two devices I tested for and utilized video out on for reviews were high-end handhelds (the AYN Odin 3 Max and the Anbernic RG477V), but again…a huge variety of that for you!
Thank you for your reply, it helps a ton!
I plan to complement my SteamDeck with a tiny portable emulator, but would love to use it at home in the same way as the SteamDeck, which is in part stationary.
I’m aware that the SteamDeck could do the emulator part well, but taking it with you and whipping it out for a short gamining session is not one the SteamDeck’s strong suites.
It is an easy one to do, just choosing the right retro handheld for you…that’s the difficult part! My aforementioned Odin 3 for example plays anything from the oldest consoles, PS2 upscaled to 4K all the way to literal PC games via GameHub Lite.
I’ve ordered a TRIMUI Brick Hammer a few hours ago, because I figured that I value durability of a portable device higher than video output; at home I can use my Steam Deck comfortably.
Your review made it look like a good piece of hard-/software for the money. At that price point I’m fairly sure I won’t have regrets.
You’ve got plenty of firmware options if you’re not loving the stock one (which is honestly fine!), the community around this device is so enthusiastic and do such amazing things. In fact, tenlevels showed off his new one which is coming soon, too. Called Bloom, its the first to manage to bring retroachievements to the device!
Can’t wait to hear how you like it, once it arrives. If portability is key to choosing one, then you certainly get that with it. So sleek, so slim and nice to take along for the ride!
I have blocked 357 accounts that sent a random friend invite, where 302 of it were automated. I do have some stuff on my Team Fortress 2/CS2 inventory which attracts all sorts of scammers and bots, even though I’ve stopped playing both games for quite some time.
With that said, I’m cool with random invites from real people. There are lots of games where you can use more people to play with, regardless of how close you are.
Damn, I was going to recommend Xenoblade and Monster Hunter, but seems these are the exact games that inspired you to make this thread in the first placr, haha.
Love the game, but playing a few times a week isn’t enough investment for me to build up the necessary skill to complete it. Got to a point now where I literally spend the entire gaming session refreshing my fingers from last week, and decided to take a break until I can commit enough time to it. Maybe if I lose my kids or legs or go to prison or something.
Silksong was great, but it really has an issue with approachability.
Most of the quality of life upgrades come after challenges that prove you don’t need them. I didn’t really feel at home with what the game was asking of me until I fought the cogwork dancers. I totally understand why people bounce off the game when they encounter Last Judge.
Bannerlord! Top down strategy when roaming around and managing your troops and or kingdom, real time first person action during battles and sieges with different troop positioning commands.
Have you played Grandia II? IIRC you could score bigger hits from behind enemies, cancel enemies attacks etc. depending on the position and timing of your attacks.
Dead Space 1 remaster. I categorically refuse to give any money to EA (even before the Saudi buyout), and that’s their only game I’m even remotely interested in that isn’t available through alternative channels.
As someone who has been on the Internet for a long time, I have never once thought adding someone on a game platform/social as something risky. If they turn out to be bad, you just block them, no? I don’t understand why something like this needs to blow up in your face. I should say that I am someone who randomly sends invites to players I have played with online, who are strangers, but whom I enjoyed playing with for XYZ reason. I never thought I was committing some kind of crime by doing that but maybe that’s just me. I don’t mind getting random friends requests from people I’ve played yes and yes I have no friends. Go figure.
I am a bit of a worrier I guess, & overthink things too much. It’s definitely not a crime to send requests to people just after playing online together, actually I think I should probably do it more.
I also like to get friend requests from randos, it helps you get more involved in the game, especially co-op games like DRG. Plus it’s not like there’s a limit to how many friends you can add.
Before writing this post, I realised I’d given away my DOB - first by saying my age, and then when they correctly guessed my star-sign (!), I told them the day & month. That made me worry that maybe I need to be more careful and so posted this here.
