Maybe it’s nostalgia, but their cute little format and the huge selection of mods and aftermarket parts just makes me happy

There’s a big, big, big community for those out there! So many options for doing so, and even custom cabinets that have been made to make displaying them easier, too!

Its funny how often I am seeing that same sentiment (missing the slim 3DSish style cases) shared everywhere. Not too many fans of the Switch cases!

Oh this is so lovely!

I’m so glad you’re making the most of your Steam Deck, now next up you can look at installing my friend’s project: RetroDECK on your Steam Deck to emulate all the games from the older years! (and if you need any pointers or help doing it, reach out to me!)

I find the same thing with GOG games, and I tend to find myself checking the ‘details’ section of a game’s page to see if it has built-in controller support before buying these days, because my Deck is used mostly for GOG titles :)

I’ve had them all!

I had an original V1 which I had the jig/payload method for, and I’ve had a couple of OLEDs which I micro-soldered the chips onto. But after selling all mine off long ago (I preferred to emulate the games on my Steam Deck after getting it!), I picked up a cheap V2 and chipped it, too!

I love themezer (choosing themes are like a daily fun thing for me to do!)

Since there’s now ten of them, I figured it’s just easier for someone who is curious to click on my profile and sort by ‘posts’

I got to the System Shock games after Prey (2017), not only am I WAY too young to have been around for them, but it just kinda went past me. But after that spiritual successor I visited the System Shock games, and I love them!

I’m hoping the SS2 is good, because I loved what they did with the first! It’s never meant to be a remake, just a polish of the game itself.

I think they might have finally beaten their Nintendo curse though: one console is a huge success, the next is a fair failure. The Switch 2 will be a winner, but there’s no way it can be the same cultural phenomenon that the first was (I’d say)

And thank you, you’re very kind to say!!!

Oh how odd!

Thank you for letting me know, from the next post I share I’ll start including links to all the previous installments I’ve made, to make it easier for people to navigate to them. What a strange thing to not be able to find them, I’m sorry!

Oh that’s so sweet of you!!!

Thanks, I’m glad you find my nonsense I share fun! :)

Frendica is one of the few I haven’t actually checked out (yet), but maybe one day I’ll make an acc there too!

Thanks! I edited the link, I’m not sure how I messed that up!!!

I still have London on my backlog!

The fact I waited means I’ve had a few updates and patches to make it run prettier, but I need to have some solid time to dive in!

Thank you!!!

My thoughts on the Switch 2 are…contradictory. I like what they’re doing, but it feels iterative. I love my Switch because it is so small and cute, but it makes sense that a bigger screen (and joy-cons for ergonomics?) is better for a gamer. Worst is Nintendo doing Nintendo things and being a bit too predatory for my liking! From what I can see…it’s better to get an OLED and get a chip installed (CFW is soooooo nice to customize everything!). At least until maybe some sales on hardware happen? IDK.

Please let me know what you think of Death Stranding! I love to hear people’s thoughts. It can be so polarizing.

If you’re interested, I have another 9 of these via my profile!!!

Thank you, that’s so kind of you!!!

I think it’s a ‘cozy’ feeling - seeing a tangible bit of fun modern games you can hold? IDK, but whenever I find these it makes me happy too!

I really need to get into the habit of just linking all my previous ones at the end of each of these. I just worry it’ll look ‘messy’ or something!

I guess its easier to just follow my username then filter by posts? Or…something. Thanks for asking though, that is a confidence boost to see it wanted!!! <3

My friend makes RetroDECK! Isn’t it lovely? Its crazy to me how the default emulation for the Steam Deck seems to just be EmuDeck. To me it is the far weaker of the two options.

I enjoyed how Russ (RGC on YouTube) recently made an in-depth video recently showing the differences between them, then how to install and run RetroDECK (the link to which is here if anyone wants to see it!)

Lazorne, I known you’re around here somewhere plotting what’s next for RetroDECK!

I hope your recovery from surgery goes well. I’ll be thinking of you, those things can suck all the easy and spark from life, I’m so glad you’ve got your gaming to escape to!

And don’t force Death Stranding if its not fun! Give it some time :)

I’ve been trying soooo hard to stop myself jumping from game to game!

I’ve been stuck solidly on Death Stranding for a few weeks now (on my Steam Deck), so…so far so good!
