I never had one that could do anything other than wifi and USB. I bought broken ones for <$40 and would put together “fresh” rebuilds with emulators to “donate”. Thinking about it I miss the hax0r more than their use. Replaying Pokémon emerald for hours during off time was just a benefit.
Same same. I really really want buttons, but I’ve been playing on touch screen emulators since the… I forget what it was even called, iTouch is a crime, so it was ipod touch? Idk, the first through maybe 3rd gen of those. 2012 hardware. I actually love the bigger screen and some graphic enhancements that the emulators/mods can do. But my steam deck is still a big thing to carry. Unless I know that’s the only thing I’m using when I’m out, I feel like I need a backpack to carry it and other stuff. I’ll have to dive into the rabbit hole of Chinese pocket emulators, I’ve only kept up with the us/euro Kickstarter type ones. Something pocket sized with buttons is really all I want. But again, do I need to consume that when I already have multiple options?
I 100% amazing mirror several times on GBA. Loved that device and many games it had. I want a modern pocket emulator GB device but can’t justify it since I already have a Steam deck. Or a phone. I guess nostalgia doesn’t hold enough monetary value to me to profit off of.
Rocket league. I’m still not very good but I’ve had a lot of those moments as far as the controls. I used to see my friend and it just looked like button smashing magic. It’s actually not that hard tho
I remember how ocarina of time blew my mind how big and open the world was. Seemed like I could play the game forever with the massive open world.
The game feels so hilariously small now. I’ve never gotten past the first ancient beast in botw because I just run around climbing stuff. I need to commit to finishing that game.
Just don’t have insurance. They come after you but after they get enough(~$1k) they’ll leave you alone. My current dentist charges a max of $1k to people who are out of pocket. I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth out with conscience sedation for $1k flat. I worked in IT/DB at a dentist for a few years and people were paying $2-3k for the same with insurance.
Is the switch not handheld? Is the stream deck not hand held? I get they don’t have to be, but that’s what their primary use case is. It’s pretty obvious we’re going to have a lot of screen with controllers on the side form factor in the next decade. I don’t think this should get lumped into either console of PC.
