It’s a couch co-op action RPG with ranged combat meets beat em up fights. Aesthetic is 2014 cartoon network, with a story based on a lost Nickelodeon pilot. Voice cast is solid with Brian David Gilbert too.
If it sounds interesting, could definitley be up your alley!
It’s me on Half Life Alyx with the blind dude who has you cornered. I legit was looking to insert a saved game to bypass this level and it seems I’m not alone with others sharing that specific save game.
Great write up, definitely gonna have to check this project out.
I always love it when the answers to “how did you join the team” are pretty much “got in there and started doing shit.” It’s part of what makes me love open source so much.
There’s a level in one of the Battlefield: Bad Company games where you’re ambushed by two attack helicopters in the desert and the only cover is a small building. Did I mention Bad Company has fully destructible environments and you’ve already fought in said building so it’s full of holes before the helicopters start blowing it apart? Or that a third helicopter shows up mid-battle?
It’s not too bad if you know what’s coming and preserve some cover, but if the building is in bad shape when they show up then you’re not going to have a fun time.
Holy mother of GabeN, thank you SO much for putting RomM on the spotlight !
This project is so forward thinking, it deserves all the help it can get to ensure a bright future. Personally, I can’t wait for RetroDECK sync support. The day they merge that glorious commit is the day I pull my shit together and go neck deep into my ROM collection.
I know what everybody is thinking: 50 Cent Blood on the Sand, but that’s a misconception, you actually mean 50 Cent Bulletproof–the one other, and less perfect, of the 2 games that exist
Absolutely love these posts. Look forward to it each week! I’m really curious to watch SteamOS grow into something bigger for desktops someday.
While many of us would probably go to a more specific Linux Distro, having the option for the average user to move away from Windows (especially in a less intimidating or familiar fashion) is a big step forward.
I still like warframe, even though it has a few headaches in there that make it more annoying than it needs to be. I don’t want to trade my ducat fodder or passive rep for slots and potatoes every time a new update comes out. But I do like dressing up my space dolls and blasting my trumna for hours on end
I’m going to go against the general consensus here and say you would probably be better served buying a Switch 2. The Steam Deck is awesome but it is bulkier, has less battery life, and is overall less suited for a “pick up, play 10mins and toss is back” usage.
However if you are up for some occasional tinkering, the SD is far more versatile than the Switch and could even replace your laptop depending on your use-cases.
You could get one of those Bluetooth keyboard/ trackpad combos and a case with a kickstand for desktop use. Small screen but usable. I personally wouldn’t replace a laptop with it, but if you didn’t have a laptop it could be useful to buy one device that does handheld gaming and other stuff too instead of buying two devices
I’d still buy two, unless I don’t need a laptop (i.e. phone is sufficient). The ergonomics of a decent laptop are just too good, and I really don’t want to haul around a decent keyboard just to get that on a handheld PC. That said, if I’ll bring both always, then I’d get a portable monitor and make the Steam Deck work, but that’s a really niche case.
Battery life definitely depends on what you are playing. In BG3 I get around 2 ish hours. But I can play older games like Morrowind, or newer retro style games like Skald against the black priory (10/10, do recommend) for 6-8 hours, maybe more.
You also have a lot of control to improve battery life like clock speed, frame rate limiting, etc.
But yeah it has a huge screen and if you play newer games with good 3d graphics it drains fast. Switch doesn’t really have those kinds of games so it’s not a 1:1 comparison.
EDIT: I also agree with your points on it being very bulky and not well suited to a 10 minute session. Launching games is slower on the deck and most PC games have more loading screens before gameplay.
