Yeah but this one has my favourite monopoly’s logo on it.

BootLoop, do games w We have one at home

Haven’t heard that name in years.

Atropos, do games w We have one at home

I have an ultra rare OnLive streaming console. I will let it go at the low, low price of one Steam Machine if anyone wants to trade!

LiveLM,

Wonder if anyone ever managed to homebrew it to run something else

Atropos,

I wish. But sadly no, it is merely ewaste trash I will eventually pass on to a recycler.

whotookkarl,

Wow, replied before I saw this. 2 on live references in a single thread, feel like I just spotted a bigfoot or something

SparroHawc,

I have that and an ‘OnLive founding member’ T-shirt that I wear to tech events. Especially when I suspect there’s going to be something tone-deaf getting launched.

I got both for free.

I think I might want to get one of those controllers. the trackpads on the Steam Deck were way better than I was expecting.

Ouya walked so Steam box can run. /s

aeronmelon,

If by walk you mean it suffered from polio…

itkovian,

Exactly. Ouya was such a disaster.

AlexisFR, do games w [Darktide] I'm actually really excited for the Scum
@AlexisFR@jlai.lu avatar

It looks really interesting! Not sure if that’s going to be a week one purchase like the Arbites was, I’ll take a look at it once it’s proper released and I play some games with them as allies.

CaptSatelliteJack,

I hoaxes picked up the Arbites yet, but there’s strong odds I snag the Scum right away. The mechanics on offer are so interesting and unique. Maybe I’ll be your ally some time so I can show you it’s features!

P1nkman, do games w We have one at home

I have an Ouya. It’s embarrassing, I feel shame for purchasing it, but I keep it as a reminder of how fucking dumb I can be.

I remember when it was on kickstarter. I went back and forth about backing, I ended up pulling my pledge just before it was funded. So glad I did.

Bob_Robertson_IX,

I went all in on it… I fully drank that Koolaid and was an early backer, got an extra controller and really thought it was going to be amazing. But their whole launch was so bungled that by the time I actually got it I was so disillusioned with the whole company that I couldn’t enjoy it. It sucked to have bought into the kickstarter and financed the project, and then see the product on the shelves at Target while I was still waiting on mine to be delivered. I had mine for a couple of months before reselling it at a loss.

Several years later when Stadia was announced I felt that little familiar glimmer of hope pop up, but I didn’t let myself get too excited for it. I did eventually get a couple of Stadia controllers and really enjoyed that service (and I still use those controllers today).

Are you me? I was backer 4 🤦‍♂️

Shit, I didn’t realize it got that bad. I’m honestly surprised I didn’t hear more rage about that online at the time.

marzhall,

Oh dang, it was my media PC until 2017, when the switch took over its role, IIRC. Definitely got my money’s worth out of it even if there were no games lmao

mesamunefire,
@mesamunefire@piefed.social avatar

Yeah I had one too. Ultimate reminder to never pre-order.

CaptDust, (edited )

Ouya wasn’t all bad though! Some great games came out of it. Towerfall and Bombsquad are still favorite party games in my house. No Brakes Valet and Hidden in Plain Sight also still get played occasionally.

P1nkman,

Fair. I did use it for emulating NES and SNES, but the controller connection was horrible, so I found it easier to use the Raspberry Pi.

Now it’s in my shelf along with my other consoles: C64, PS1-4 (5 is in the living room), PSP, DS and gaming stuff and collectibles. People usually ask about it, lol.

CaptDust,

The controller was absolute garbage! The analog sticks would get snagged where the battery covers split. Batteries on the front for who knows why.

Lol mine’s living in the closet now and thankfully all those games have released for the PC Gabecube. I’ll keep the hardware as a fun experiment in history though.

my controllers pinched my hands constantly where the metal meets the plastic shell

towerfall on ouya was pretty frikkin teriffic as the killer app though

heh, I have Superbook for the exact same purpose! (for the uninitated: it was a “laptop” which used your phone/tablet/etc as the tech, it was basically just a 1080p screen and keyboard for a phone).

Mine took 3-4 factory resets and firmware flashes to get working, and then the damn thing gave up the ghost the same night and hasn’t worked since… not that it has any real use anyway. Good buy /s

Album,
@Album@lemmy.ca avatar

This is my biggest regret purchase lmao. Which is good. But yeah I basically never used it. Very unlike me because I would rather eat my bad decision. But it’s was so laggy I turned it off and waited for updates that never came. Took me years to finally throw it away.

Tahl_eN,

I loved mine! Did exactly what I bought it for, emulation on my TV and playing media from my server. Replaced it with a Shield eventually, but don’t regret backing it on Kickstarter.

drcobaltjedi,

I wanted to buy one when I saw it in target years ago for dumb reasons, now I want to biy one to tinker with.

it’s a little ARM box running Android, right?

P1nkman,

Yup. Controller was shit.

elvith,

I didn’t get mine to have less than about a second latency LOL

Krudler,

Hey now. Its ok we all make booboos. I bought a Game Gear.

Credibly_Human,

The thing is, there is nothing super wrong with the idea, it just didn’t pan out.

We can see from the existence of nintendo consoles, that graphics don’t mean the world.

slazer2au, do games w We have one at home

Reminds me of the OG Xbox controller.

@tiberius@lemmy.ca avatar

Using the white and black buttons on the Duke without moving your entire hand nets you an achievement.

aeronmelon,

Everyone forgets how big that sucker really is.

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/51c951ee-42e8-437a-ae91-a8b24175f878.jpeg

And how it was a blatant copy of the Dreamcast controller.

atomicbocks,

Because the Xbox was built in secret while Microsoft and Sega collaborated on the Dreamcast. It’s actually somewhat compatible with Dreamcast games but MS never wanted to allow that feature.

Also the Duke is the only comfortable controller I have ever used.

SCmSTR,

If you really digest everything Microsoft does, it’s all stealing or acquiring and making worse.

altkey,

The logo circle is so big and vulgar it looks like a fake gucci bag. It’s great they got rid of that.

Buelldozer,

I really liked The Duke. It was one of the first controllers that actually fit well in my large adult size hands!

ChicoSuave,

The smaller (now regular) 360 controller killed those black and white buttons.

sugar_in_your_tea,

I miss them. But I guess I’m in the minority on that one.

Whostosay,

It just moved them, and I’m glad they did

GraniteM,

The Dreamcast controller is ugly as sin but surprisingly comfortable to hold. It must have the widest delta between looks and ergonomics of any controller.

davidsoy212, do test1 w beginner gun safety course Virginia

Just completed the beginner gun safety course in Virginia, and it was fantastic! The course focused on fundamentals in a safe, supportive environment—covering firearm safety, grip, sight alignment, trigger control, and stance. Hands-on range time under certified instructors really builds confidence and accuracy. Perfect for first-time shooters or anyone refreshing skills. By the way, while I was exploring training options, I also found resources for Cheap Phd Thesis Help—helpful for balancing studies and hobbies!

I remember my first run of Platinum. I was sitting in the car when i beat it. Congrats on the completion, idk about you but i struggled really with that last fight.

Cris_Color,
@Cris_Color@lemmy.world avatar

The fact that you get locked into combat as soon as you step into the room with her (unlike all the elite four) nearly completely fucked me over, but fortunately I was able to stall and item spam all my Pokémon back to full health 😅

I tend to really like building teams that can beat stuff a lot stronger than me, so curse on spirit tomb, toxic on toxicroak, and gastrodon and bastiodon to wall did a lot of work 😅 I think I used curse to beat like three of her strongest Pokémon lol. Its such a dumb move, I love it so much.

It was definitely hard though, and item spam is kind of a cheesy way to beat stuff

MyNameIsAtticus,
@MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world avatar

You did a lot better than I did building your team lol. I just built my team based off of what I thought looked cool. I think I had a Torterra, Chime-Cho, Gardevoir, Vaporeon, and a couple that I’d cycle in and out

Cris_Color, (edited )
@Cris_Color@lemmy.world avatar

Honestly I largely did too, I pick my favorite designs from each gen and make a team with them, but it worked out okay! I considered chimecho but I mostly just adore chingling and it’s way too weak to battle with. I also considered using trash wormadan; steel and bug are my favorite types, but it’s not that compelling of a design, and it’s not very good 😅. I’d love to include it on a team someday though
