    Anbernic announces RG35XX 2024 Edition retro handheld

    I don't use Anbernic handhelds myself, but the side by side shoulder buttons are something I enjoy with the KT-R1. They definitely fall short in games that actually require the use of all four buttons, but that's basically just PS1 with this? For the vast majority of systems, I just use the...

    I wanted to try Krispy Kreme's Easter doughnuts, so I'm quite excited to start on these... I also got a fancy camera, so maybe my hardware reviews will have slightly less trashy pictures once I figure out how to use it lol

    Paydaaaaaaaay! Picked up a 2TB SSD to throw into an external closure and store some roaming Steam games. Also got an L shaped HDMI adapter to make it easier to move between Mini PCs for various testing things without having a cable sticking out horizontally!

    I joined to post one thing lol

    For what it’s worth you should be able to reply to most things as a new member, I think you just need ten posts to be able to post links and maybe images? Either way good luck with the socialising o7

    Oooh those headphones do look funky. I'm always interested in trying more but I just can't justify buying them lol. I have a pair of Hifiman Deva Pro as daily drivers (open back Bluetooth planar magnetic headphones!) and a VERY chonky pair of Audeze LCD GX when I want to explode my ears.

    Developer Larian Studios will not be involved with future Baldur's Gate games

    Oh damn that's a shock. Either way I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming next from them next. If they put half as much effort into it as they did BG3 it's gonna slap.

    Opinions on New Super Mario Bros. Series.

    I feel like the later New Soup games felt like level packs for a pre-established Mario engine, and if you go into them with that kind of outlook they're generally quite enjoyable. New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe was my favourite 2D Mario game prior to Wonder. As a base I feel it's solid, but I...

    I will note that Apple Arcade exclusivity only bars the game from releasing on other mobile platforms. It could still make it to PC/consoles if the interest were there to port it.

    I'd argue it's a fantastic title for the platform as an easy to pick up kinda game, but I do agree that it being exclusive doesn't really offer much pull alone. In my mind I don't think any single game has that kind of pull for Apple, but the combination of the smaller titles they have do a good...

    It is easy to see why too tbf, it just makes gaming super accessible, and with some genuinely compelling exclusive titles it's so easy to subscribe for a month or two. I played through the entirety of Monster Hunter Stories via Apple Arcade with no regrets.

    Having given it a Google, apparently Apple Arcade is more popular than you would think, almost on par with Steam and Nintendo Switch Online usage in the US (https://www.midiaresearch.com/blog/for-years-we-said-to-take-games-efforts-of-these-companies-seriously-now-they-are-serious-players).

    I’m fairly sure I have that (away from home so can’t check for sure though). When I was actively buying them, I prioritised different codes to see if they were different. I’m fairly sure the idea of different version numbers was just speculation from a time before cartridge dumps were...

    Vsync

    Very basic understanding from myself, but I think V Sync basically just forces the framerate to sync with the framerate of your monitor. The reason you probably didn’t notice it on the Ally screen is that it supports variable refresh rate (VRR). In monitors you need to look for FreeSync or GSync...

    Friends of Mineral Town

    From my cartridge collection I can tell you definitively those people are wrong. I’ve dumped every one of those games and checked the rom against the code and there are only two: 1.0 and 1.1. This is indicated by the 0 or 1 after ABCENJ. If you get ABCENJ1 you’ll be completely fine. It’s...

    Both are solid from my experience. I reviewed the remake if you’re interested, and the best and worst thing about it in my mind was how faithful it was to the original lol. https://gbatemp.net/review/story-of-seasons-friends-of-mineral-town.1446/ Original is better if you’re nostalgic for the...

    Oh yeah, decent touch controls for the time, plus controller support. Just a shame it was never updated past iOS 10.

    Like they already ported Freedom Unite ages ago, Rise would surely be a slam dunk.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm surprised any PS3 servers are still up, tbh

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea that's what I'm sitting on now- 4.9, and it seems fine, have had no issues at all
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    I don't know if people play online or such
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My ps3 short circuited during a deep clean still salty about it after downloading 2tbs worth but SteamDeck okay with emulation still just can't run mgs4 worth shit
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
