I haven’t played in years and it’s sci-fi themed but astro empires checks some of those boxes:

bfg division? maybe the katamari theme song.

i play a lot of shmups and their songs are often stuck in my head, most recently some stuff from raycrisis. fire emblem warriors songs get stuck in my head as well.

this would make sense if the game developers were being paid properly to begin with, rather than the leeches that are the c-suite taking more than they should

I always find myself coming back to Sega Bass Fishing. The old arcade/Dreamcast game.

I guess this made my choice on handheld for me. been weighing a few options but I might just keep using my phone and 2DS XL for now.

this seems to be the case. i tried to redeem it a few times with no success (in a couple of browsers and in heroic). an hour or so later i got an email saying it was added to my library.

while i don’t have one of these handhelds, i do have a 2ds xl and i had a steam deck that i eventually sold. for me it’s mostly size. i took it to three countries and several states and it was mostly just a burden to carry the deck around, meanwhile the smaller device was easier to toss in a bag.

part of my choice was also that i don’t play a lot of modern games so i didn’t need the horsepower that the steam deck provided. it’s all nuance and preference, i think.

maybe try bazzite? i’ve found it to be a better experience than nobara and steam games run fine for me, aside from the obvious big titles that have anticheat issues.

they have a guide for davinci resolve, too: universal-blue.discourse.group/t/…/1197

battlefield 2042… unless i have a squad or some friends, i rarely play the objective. i mess around with gadgets, try to fly the wingsuit to weird places, try to launch vehicles where they don’t belong, try to find clever ways to kill people, whatever. my score is always trash and my team hates me but i’m usually having a great time.

things like dsda improve the game so much. It’s hard to go back to the original game files.

as soon as I saw the promod logo I was stoked. I played 1.6 and made the transition to source. played competitively in leagues for a long time. never got into cs:go or 2. I would love to try this out.

gonna need to be higher priced so they can keep funding lawsuits.

I’m a daily driver of Bazzite and Bluefin. I felt this way initially but it’s been generally painless. I typically check flatpak -> app image -> homebrew -> distrobox when I need something. If that fails, I use rpm-ostree and reboot.

I work in development/devops/infosec by trade and to date there hasn’t been a single package or program that I needed that I couldn’t get running with minimal fuss. I’ve even run a couple of MDM packages that my work requires.

Rose colored glasses. I played the hell out of WoW for years from first release and onward. Chat was chaos and if you got invited to someone’s vent server there were usually some jerks. Pseudoanonymity made people brazen.

I played a lot of competitive counter strike and it was the same. Constant trash talking or just nonsense spouting people. Any modern game I play with voice chat built in gets immediately disabled as soon as I start the game for the first time.

Socializing can happen later after a few (positive) interactions but I dont have the mental energy to deal with random folks when I just want to unwind with a game.

Over time: probably Contra on the NES, Tetris and Bionic Commando on the GameBoy, Operation Wolf and Sinistar in the arcade. DOOM, Duke3d, and XEvil on the PC. CS 1.6 and CS:S in college. The Gears series on the 360.

Then I had a decade or so gaming drought. More recently: Batsugun, Ketsui (Deathtiny and Death Label), Danmaku Unlimited 3, and Battlefield 2042.

What about Extraneum? It’s cute as a button and very chill with plenty of things to shoot. It feels a bit like a modern wolfenstein since there aren’t any stairs. Gunplay feels nice and the secrets are rewarding. Plus between levels there are funny data discs to read.

This was my experience on the Xbox. Absolutely loved the campaign. Could not get a feel for how to survive mp after a few hours. There was a prolonged respawn and die nearly immediately loop. I uninstalled it after I got what I could from the campaign.

I think the elite offers a lot for that price. Swappable sticks and back paddles, trigger stops, multiple profiles, adjustable tension, etc. It’s basically an OEM “custom” controller.

That being said, I like other controllers better than my elite.

I’ve been enjoying the GameSir G7 for a while. It’s wired but I kind of prefer that. My first G7 had a faulty left stick in the first two months. I think it was faulty from the beginning but I just didn’t notice it. I sent them a video of the issue and they replaced it outright.

It’s a bit smaller than my Xbox elite controller and it feels pretty great. I like the clicky dpad and the two back buttons. Stick tension is nice as well.

I’d like to see trigger stops but they haven’t done that yet. I’d also like to have clicky face buttons so I’m considering one of their khaleid controllers. Those are minor nitpicks, though. This controller has been terrific.

On android, lemuroid is pretty good for this sort of thing and you can change the arrangement of your nds/3ds screens.
