Retroid Pocket 2S
  • It’s how I ended up going with my 351V a while ago (this is prior to the current generation of handhelds) and it’s been perfect for what I’m playing on it.

  • Retroid Pocket 2S
  • Retro Game Corps is a good place to start when it comes to looking the the different retro handhelds. Reviews are detailed showing the limits of each device and often comparisons to other devices.

  • Sony's Remote Play handheld Project Q has been renamed PlayStation Portal and will be available for $199
  • Having the screens atop of each over helped along with the fact that most DS/3DS games didn’t require you to pay attention to both screens at the same time (e.g. some games used screen 1 for gameplay and 2 for a map/inventories etc)

  • How do you organize your Steam library?
  • I split mine into a few categories:

    • Backlog
    • Playing
    • Multiplayer
    • Completed
    • Junk (Usually filler from bundles)

    I only keep the playing list expanded and relatively small to avoid choice paralysis.

  • Why are trending posts on Mastodon mostly negatively politically oriented?
  • I found the better way to use Mastodon was to follow users/hashtags of interest and then filtering out most of the topics which produce ragebait. It means my feed isn’t as busy but I also get none of the ragebait.

  • Nearly all my GameBoy Games
  • I sometimes go through my gb cart collection for ideas on what to play next on my handheld emulator. Mario Picross though is such a good game to wind down with at the end of the day.

  • It’s time to rethink our relationships with streaming services
  • Seems like for most people they would be better off cancelling most streaming services and only renewing for a month or two when enough new content is there rather than having multiple ongoing subscriptions.

  • Firefox on iOS without webkit ? In progress or abandoned ?
  • Until there is anything formal from Apple allowing alternative browser engines I’d wouldn’t really expect too many updates from Firefox on their custom engine project.

  • Is there a game that you've been very patient for, which turned out to be dissappointing when you finally started playing it?
  • I felt this a bit too. I never played it back in the day so I was playing it fresh as each game released as part of the PC master collection. Playing Halo 1 without nostalgia googles is rough as that campaign has not aged well. It’s starts decent but then reusing the same levels made the second half a mediocre slog.

  • 3 more reviews of DS "shooters", now with robots/mechs (Chibi Robo, MechAssault, Bionicle)
  • These reviews have been great. I never really considered looking into FPS games on the DS/3DS and you have now convinced me to try Bionicle Heroes.

  • Pokemon Company "having conversations" about how to ensure game quality with regular releases
  • For most people the Pokémon IP is a much bigger draw than a potentially better game though. Game Freak are in a position where due to the Pokémon IP they can release a game riddled with issues and still sell well.

  • What Steam achievement are you most proud of?
  • I remember that achievement at times being such a pain but it was so worth it just to send the damn thing in to space!

  • Microsoft shortens its Xbox Game Pass trials just before Starfield’s release
  • $1 for a 14 day trial seems pretty reasonable especially considering if you time it around when you know you have a fair bit of time you could play through quite a few games in that time.

    I had done that a few times where there was a game I was interested in and just got a trial and completed it during the trial period making it a very cheap game rental.

  • Playing Mario Bros. (Atari 2600). How about you?
  • Enjoy! It’s a great start to the series. I played the GBA version for the first time this year and it was worth completing.

  • Artemis public beta up! Thanks Hariette
  • I think this is what I’m seeing too. Some of the magazines I followed on social I couldn’t find here so they hadn’t federated yet but I’m sure that will all resolve soon.

  • /kbin's APIs Almost Here and Artemis Public Beta Isn't Far Behind!!
  • That’s awesome! Looking forward to trying the app either on Artemis.camp or in the eventual public release :)
