I recommend the Chinese handhelds too, I only have a Retroid Pocket 2 (too old), Anbernic RG351V and a Miyoo Mini V2, I only use the RG and Miyoo, the later is great for simple games/quick burst but due the lack of wifi antenna it is not possible to use Retroachivements with it… which it is possible with the RG351V, also the Anbernic has quite the better hardware without a question.

Notice all these aforementioned handhelds would only give you a pleasant experience up to PS1 (minus Saturn), so if you want a handheld that can at least give you PSP, Dreamcast and N64 I’d pick an Android based Retroid Pocket 3+ Anbernic also have some capable models for this. it is worth to mention that if you have a relative new Android phone you already have a capable emulator with you all time, you’d only need a holder or a telescopic joystick to enjoy an almost endless library of games (despite having a PSP I finished Persona 3 Portable with my phone and a Razer Kishi controller).

Thank you very much! I will check your suggestion out! The anbernic handhelds look very cool.

Undead Nightmare on PC emulated with Xenia. Had just finished the original Red Dead Redemption using the same. Finally went for it when Rockstar made it obvious there wasn’t going to be a PC remaster (and I upgraded my PC so I could play it at non potato fps since emulating is pretty intense). Had just started Cyberpunk 2077 but had stopped as I didn’t want to get too far along since the new expansion was going to add/change a lot.

Anyway it was awesome to finally play RDR. Always wanted to but never had a console (nor did I want one) to play it on. Undead Nightmare looks to be good fun too though I’m maybe just an hour into it. Just killing time til Cyberpunk expansion drops.

Whatever alternative you’re offered, I don’t think it’s worth spending more than $50 on an emulator console. (This is the maximum make sense price for any hardware that can emulate old consoles up to PS3).

I will keep that in mind. Thank you very much. Always good to get a reality check on prices.

itGoesWooWoo,

Linus Tech Tips covered some options about a month ago. The one with the SATA drive cartridge slot got my interest a bit.

I watched this video actually. Thats how I got the idea initially. Might check it out again for details. Thanks for mentioning it.

I’m deep in Earth Defense Force 5. It’s way more fun than it has any right to be. There’s no way I’m going to finish all the content. There is a ludicrous amount, over a hundred stages in a minimum of three difficulties with four characters who all have health and equipment that can be gathered and upgraded. It’s hard to make it sound fun, because it’s really just using crazy guns to shoot giant bugs and aliens and shit. It’s very simple, but the formula is so good. Flying around like a maniac as a Wing Glider feels so bad ass. I gotta figure out how to talk someone into playing it with me >_>

Earth Defense Force is the shit. It's not way more fun than it has any right to be, it's exactly as fun as shooting giant alien insects as an overly patriotic earth sci Fi military SHOULD be.

I think if you show the gameplay to somebody and then the addicting loot system that they'd be down, unless they just don't like the chaotic shooter-ness. But yeah, those games are fucking great

Almost finished BG3 (at almost 100 hours on this playthrough), then planning to start Starfield!

Willy, do games w Do you find the description Live Service Game off-putting?

Eh, no big deal. The only one I don’t care for on your list is day one DLC. That always seems sketchy. plenty of game I’ve gotten into had day one for me DLC, but that’s cause I joined late, like rimworld. That was a hard DLC package to swallow. If I lived somewhere that I didn’t have good internet I could see caring more, but that’s rare enough to be written off by developers.

VitoScaletta,

At least with Rimworld you can pirate the dlcs and add them to the Steam copy with no issues.

That’s what I ended up doing since I’m poor. I saw a comment from the devs on the torrent thread basically saying they’re just glad you’re playing it and to consider buying it if you’re able to in the future. Seeing that pretty much solidified them as great devs to me, and when I actually have some disposable income I’ll end up buying them just because of that.

Became a thing again for me after the death of 32p without a replacement.

bblfrnz,

Exactly, unfortunately dc is the only place where you can find 32p content.

pascal,

What’s 32p?

A private tracker that doesn’t exist anymore

frishi,

Aaaaand here’s my mandatory plug for ThreeTwo, a comic book curation app (like Mylar) but with integration with DC++ by the way of AirDC++

Check it out if that’s your thing: github.com/rishighan/threetwo

Apologies if my plug is in bad taste, but I’m trying to reach as many interested users as possible to get them to test and give me feedback.

I remember back in the windows 7 days I had discovered Sandboxie that helped me a great deal. At the time my concern was the browser as javascript was just picking up and the engines to run it were all focusing on performance only. I don’t remember having to compile it manually, but that might actually be the safest way to ensure you don’t get a compromised installer.

I really like NMS, they’re very different games. NMS gets very sandboxy and end game ends up farming the best stuff and upgrading it all. The process is pretty fun tho and that’s the main gameplay loop.

cutecycle, do games w What do you think is a good required completion time for video games? What examples come to mind of games that felt just right?

Generally, I’m not into the “price per hour” reductionism… I’d rather a game was a short, remarkable (bonus: replayable) experience – 10-20 unless a longer game truly is that long without filler. Can’t put a price on having fun 100% of the time!

Sonic 3 and Knuckles takes like 3 hours for an average person to beat.

Opposite for me, NMS made spend nearly days of game time so far into Starfield, NMS too hectic I feel.

sort of? are you saying you just really like both, or no man’s sky makes you want to play starfield? either way it’s all good, it was just a head scratcher for me.
