How’s the job hunt going?

Also Cassete Beasts, Halls of Torment, and Dome Keeper.

I’d imagine some modders are viewing Starfield as a framework to facilitate gameplay they want, considering there are 1000 planets with nothing on them.

It’s funny that people are arguing against you when the DS, Switch, and Gameboy/GBC are the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th top selling gaming consoles of all time. Like yeah, they’re all Nintendo consoles, but if other companies put in the same effort and marketing, they’d likely have similar results.

It wasn’t for a long time, but apparently they were able to crack it for emulation. That said, the whole appeal of the Analogue was for the genuine, native playback of physical cartridges. Emulation doesn’t seem to have basic features you’d expect from an emulation device like save states or fast-forward. If I were you, I’d go for something like the RG35xx or the Miyoo Mini +

All of these games would be terrible on phones. They’re designed with controllers or keyboards in mind. I can’t imagine trying to do a Resident Evil boss fight with touch controls.

IIRC they openly stated in an interview that iMessage is one of people’s greatest incentives to stick to the Apple ecosystem, and they have no plans of shooting themselves in the foot by releasing it on android.

I also picked up Haunting Ground on my SD after seeing Spnere Hunter’s video raving about it. Fantastic horror game for sure.

Interesting that the Journal app won’t be ready at launch. Doesn’t seem like that much of a groundbreaking software.

For some reason this post reminds me of the good old N64 days where you had to load a vibration pak into the controller. Good time, good times.

Fantastic blend. I really need to develop the foresight to brine my chicken days in advance

The quality has definitely gotten worse with every iPhone generation. I had an official leather case on my 12 and the layer of leather began peeling off of the plastic within a few months.

Nowadays I just use a rubber spigen case and I’m very happy with it.

You will appreciate the story of 2 a lot more if you have played 1. They closely tie together.

Also, RDR1 is a spectacular game. 2 is better and worse in various ways. 1 is more video-gamey; 2 is more simulation.

That said, if you’re not all that interested in 1, 2 is just fine on its own!

I used to think this until I got 7th Heaven running on the deck. Wide screen, enhanced textures and character models, 60fps, orchestral soundtrack, and I even added the delightfully amateur voice acting mod.

It was a massive pain to set up, but now I can’t imagine going back.

Depending on the game, Steam Deck makes connecting multiple controllers a massive pain. Switch you press one button and they’re connected.

Trying to get Kirby Air Ride to acknowledge all four controllers on Steam Deck for split screen is a goddamn nightmare.

But the switch doesn’t have Kirby Air Ride at all, sooo one point for the Steam deck there?

I completely agree with this. I’ve found myself drifting away from wanting cutting-edge, high-end stuff and towards more reliable tech. I’ve started taking notes on real paper instead of ipad, and I’ve been wearing my cheap Casio watch instead of my Apple Watch. I feel like in some ways I’ve hit a wall where my inner humanity longs for real, tangible things rather than more digitization.

The mobile app is what drives me to try Bear again, but then Bear is too limiting so I end up back in Obsidian, and back and forth and back and forth.

You could always use Lemmy.world, or you can make an account directly on Lemmy.nsfw. The Memmy app lets you switch between accounts like you could on Apollo

Obsidian is such a nerd-friendly software, I’d be surprised if it didn’t have a presence in the fediverse!
