The amount of the modern retro gaming handhelds is staggering. One company (its joked) seems to announce one each week!

But its nice that it gives people an option to play the old games without the old headaches. Modern IPS and OLED displays, save states and customizable community make OS builds mean there’s just a myriad of options now :)

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

I get a silly amount of pleasure from writing these, so its always a huge relief to see it not go down like a lead balloon!!!

Seems to be the perfect time to find a Switch OLED instead! With a new model coming, surely people will try to offload their current gen consoles at a cheap rate!

Please do keep on with Death Stranding! It really opens up and shows you the whole world in a bit of time. Its an investment, but to me it is pure cinema and art. I adore it so much.

And thank you, I’m just happy to get any comment saying these are positive for people. I appreciate you saying so!

Thank you so much!!!

9 of these so far, and it seems like I’m averaging every…3/4 days. Which sounds unhealthy when I see it in black and white -__-

(I keep promising everyone and myself that these will be one-per-week, but so far? I can’t stop mysefl!)

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Always makes me smile seeing someone enjoyed these!!!

And people judged me for watching YouTube with uBlock Origin, or via NewPipe for eons.

Look who’s laughing now.

Yes, absolutely.

Even better, unlike Steam you own the of line installers, so you’ll always be able to own that game, even if GOG itself closed down.

Welcome back to the dark side!

I always find the Decky woes way overblown, they only happen when a major Deck release happens - and even then all you gotta do is reinstall Decky on desktop mode (or wait a few hours for an update).

It never deletes settings.

But, yours looks beautiful now. I esp love the Halo art!!!

Just go to desktop mode, and in the ‘pictures’ folder, locate your images.

You can transfer them to a USB, or even email them via the browser if you’ve no USB handy!

The STEAM button + R1!

Though I use the plugin from Decky called ‘shotty’ with the same hotkeys- it lets me take screenshots inside non-Steam games, which is the vast, vast bulk of my games library (GOG)

Enjoy!

I love the myriad of things I can customize on my Steam Deck :)

I did the same long ago, but I did go back to reddit. I wish I’d learned my lesson at the time -__-

Oh no! How’d it happen?

With you RMA it? Or iFixit the screen yourself? I’m sorry to hear, that’s sad news.

If you have a dock, at least you can still use it that way I suppose!

Easy fix:

Buy a fitness/smart watch - an older one is fine, why go excessive

Download GadgetBridge from F-Droid/Droidify and then use that instead of a proprietary app which is just harvesting your data and telemetry at every chance:

Oh, its SO easy to do too! (The running of games, not the kissing)

I have never played them, so its really nice for me to have them playable as the best version of the games they can possibly be :)

Enjoy!!!

How did you find Citizen Sleeper? Enjoying it?

For some reason I got obsessed with that, but the recent sequel which by all accounts fixed any issue and should be better…just didn’t grab me.

• Removing the messages option and instead replacing it with their stupid DM chat system, even for modmail

• Stating that later this year they’re going to introduce walled off paid sub-reddit

• That live stream nonsense they had a couple of years back

• Their A.I. answers integration

• Censoring users who mention ‘eat the rich’ and the name Luigi

• No longer allowing moderators of their own sub-reddit to change a sub’s status to NSFW (after the protests, obv), now requires admin to do this for them if the deem it appropriate

…who’d have guessed that these decisions were shit. Not the community who told them each time, again and again, right?

Fuck you, Reddit

Ahhhhhhh looks like the community control layout a user uploaded for FTL recently on the Deck is made for you!

I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.

But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)…with how they treated us and will continue to?

My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I’m far happier here now.
