carrying around a vintage gameboy looks cool. carrying around a Nintendo switch as an adult makes you look like a huge dweeb

just get a thumby instead the switch is absolutely too big to be portable outside of the house. i have massive hands and imo it's still too big. i've never seen a steam deck irl but that just seems ridiculous the anbernic thing i posted about earlier is a pretty good size imo (the laptop is 12", for reference):  but i probably still wouldn't use it on the subway or something

looking like a stuffy professor already the switch (beyond being a nice hassle-free way of playing some games) at most humanizes me in public, where showing up with a vintage 80s device or random alibaba garbage is sure to make me look like a loon.

The new Ninja Turtles game is alright. Not as thoughtfully put together as Streets of Rage 4 but it's nice to have a couple of these revivals be legitimately good.

haveblue posted:I mean it looks like if I had a solid grip on the case my thumbs would be too high to reach down to them ah i see what you mean. i guess it's not really a problem for me since i would only need both sticks if i'm using MAME or, like, mapped one of them to the d-pad for dreamcast, but again, apparently my thumbs are freakishly long if you angle your thumbs a bit it's not terribly difficult though. wife's hands are probably literally half the size of mine and she didn't have a problem playing bioshock on steam link e: also, this is a bit silly, but it supports bluetooth and USB OTG (it runs full blown linux), so you can connect whatever controller you want to it. micro hdmi/dp out is on the top Beeftweeter fucked around with this message at 18:09 on Jun 19, 2022 |

And if its a bar everyone else will only want to talk about the game. Can't watch people play games either, that's just as boring.

yeah it's slow as poo poo and has some dumb level design. I liked ffta a lot but the genre as a whole really lacks a solid execution. Xcom 2 is good but honestly I think the gloomhaven pc port is the best in class so far. I tried troubleshooters: abandoned children and it's really thrown everything at the wall. Only thing going for it other than as a time sink is that the extremely anime characters and dialogue are better than I expected

absolute irl lomarf at this bit in the latest MATN Fallout4 video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6aO8VAJM_A&t=1929s ^^Timestamped This new challenge has every enemy dropping (and using) legendary weapons, with the side effect that only tougher-level enemies can have legendaries so he's a level 1 character against absolute bastard opponents
