Loop Hero

Hades

Persona 4 or 5

Steam but mainly because I have a steam deck so ease of use.

It's like Christmas at Jackie Chan's house!

I think the most fun I've ever had with Gex is watching Dunkey's videos making fun of it lol

Yes! It seemed like there was always someone trying to prove how wrong you are or how much more right they are no matter the topic. I'm trying to break myself out of the lurking habit and engage more here.

I'm playing it right now, it's pretty fun! Playing on the Miyoo Mini+, having turbo and fast forward is a huge plus for battles.

So I had this problem on my modded GBA, my solution was to ever so slightly loosen the screws on the dpad side of the shell. Turned out I was over tightening them

The Retro Future made a hilarious parody of those videos, I think he was pretty fed up with them

It's a fun game with some nice visuals but for whatever reason I lose interest fairly quickly. Like it's a nice little Saturday afternoon game - I'll have some fun with it and then move on to the next thing. Worth the $5 or so it goes on sale for quite frequently

I had buyers regret right after I clicked purchase because I was on the wait-list for a year and then I got the email saying I had 3 days to purchase or I lose my spot in line, so naturally my FOMO kicked in. Well played, valve.

I love the damn thing though. I don't play it every day but when I fire it up I'm in awe of what it can play. Such a fun tinkering machine too. Most recently I've been replaying MGS V and Freedom Planet 2.

Looks like the seller I got it from restocked:

I used some new user coupons to get the price down from $50 to $35. Good luck!

The RG35XX is pretty great, nice color choice too! Looks like I need to update my GarlicOS, my games list is still centered with boxart in the background.

Yup Lemmy rotated my pic lol. I rarely use rumble but that's because I mainly use mine for 16 bit and below. Hopefully you get it sorted out!

Same, I've been dabbling in these handhelds for about a year or so now and I always tend to go right back to the Vita, it's such a solid device.

Lately it's been Persona 4 Golden on the Vita and Zelda ToTK.

Zelda because you can change your play style easily, sometimes I just want to build stuff, other times I want to explore the map, fight monsters, or do side quests. Sometimes I'll sit there and spend a bunch of time preparing meals for a future play sessions.

Persona 4 I keep coming back to for the story and overall experience - music, voice acting, and even just navigating menus is so stylistic and top notch. I started my playthrough in 2019 though and am barely picking it back up.

On days I have more energy I've been playing Freedom Planet 2 for some action platforming as well.

Check out the Ys series on PSP and Vita, they are some of the best games I've played through on my Vita. Digitalemelas.com has a lot of really good info on it.

Also obligatory Persona 4 Golden

Cool, I guess I should have clarified that most I'd be doing is throwing it into a backpack if anything.

SNESDrunk and Summoning Salt come to mind!

I just bought Balatro on Fanatical which came with a free game voucher so I picked up Grip: Combat Racing asking with it. Both really fun games.

Tempted to get FF7 remake but I need to put in more time with a Baldur's gate 3 before buying another big game

I mean I suck at the game and play on the lowest difficulty, I just think the story is awesome. I'm the wrong person to ask lol

I didn't know they artificially ramped up the difficulty! That game had a reputation when we were kids! Thanks for sharing

Donut county is a short but sweet game that is both relaxing and funny. My nephew got a kick out of Untitled Goose Game too.

Download Decky in desktop mode, install VibrantDeck plugin, and increase saturation to around 135 to make the screen pop a little more.

I recommend Devil May Cry V and Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain for AAA games that look and play great with little to no tinkering.

Or you can tinker to your hearts content, it's what's great about the deck!

This is amazing, I didn't know this existed. Brings back memories of getting whooped by Pharaoh Man. That utilization of the genesis sound chip is 10/10 too

Yeah he's one of my favorites, I think he had a pretty rough year last year and you could see it in his content but it seems like things have been better for him lately - his Japan videos are really cool.

I run AmberELEC on my 351V and have a Miyoo Mini+,I just really like how OnionOS boots you straight to your game and I use the game switcher a lot on the MM+. AmberELEC is good for tinkering but I guess I just like the simplicity of Onion OS for quick pick up and play sessions.

Wow I'm seeing the Stadia bundles on eBay with the Chromecast for like $25-35 too, that's hard to resist

If you're feeling confident to open it up you could try loosening the screws a little that hold the board to the shell on the Dpad side too. I've had to open mine quite a bit to get it right lol

I remember the one with gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other

Yup you nailed it, think classic top down Zelda but with more fast paced bump combat/hack n slash combat depending on which game you're playing, and less puzzles. Don't be ashamed to use a walkthrough for Ys 1 and 2 as they are originally made in the late 80s/early 90s and have some obscure elements to them (find a boss before getting x item and you will get one shotted/ won't be able to damage him, etc)

Nice I didn't even realize it was on sale, I played it on Game Pass a couple years ago. $4 is a great price for the game as it's pretty short but a fun experience nonetheless. It has a cool soundtrack too
