Looks nice. I am not a huge fan of the form factor though, I prefer the GBA style layout. I have a RetroSnap Play I got as a gift, I wonder how it compares. By biggest issue is it can never tell me the battery percentage, and it drains quickly when I close it with a game running. This combo sucks and makes me constantly nervous about keeping it charged so it won’t shut off in the middle of an important game.
Even the wrong non-isp routers are ridiculous compared to OpenWrt capable ones. You’re telling me I’m paying a huge premium to get a cutting edge Nighthawk, and then they shove a subscription service in my face to use any of these features? Let alone the security implications of having all your traffic routed through proprietary software. No thank you.
Yes! But only with those little plastic springs. I also trained him to get on my shoulders, but he’s too clumsy so I stopped. But he never did. So now I have to watch my back around elevated surfaces or else I risk a cat flying at me from my blind spot.
Is this the best RCT game? I have played 3 but nothing else.
I’ve been playing Bloons too. What are your favorite units to use? I’m clearing the basic difficulty stuff with all of the hard modifiers right now.
I’m playing the original actually. But this time I’m keeping a save after each battle lol! Any advice to save me some headache?
Can confirm, chemicalprophet is the best password manager I’ve ever used.
Final Fantasy Tactics! I’m going to really commit this time, I’ve been trying to beat this game since I was a kid. I never kept multiple saves and always locked my playthrough by saving in the wrong spot while under leveled.
This new trend of recomps is amazing and I hope it never stops.
They do! It has been a while since I used one but there are ways to get them running well. I had to always check the ram limiting option and there were some permission issues I was running into when I used the default directory.
Then I also ran into issues getting the games to launch using Lutris, instead of adding an exe as a game I would have to run it through Lutris like it was an install exe every time… But I’m pretty sure I just had things misconfigured and was too lazy to try and fix it.
I thought this was going to be a Nintendo themed home assistant and was actually interested for a second. Cute novelty though.
Tony Hawk and Final Fantasy Tactics! Absolutely terrible at both.
Hey if you’re interested I’m playing modded New Vegas check out a Tale of Two Wastelands. It’s a total conversion collaborative mod project that combines 3 and New Vegas into a single streamlined experience, and so much more.
I finally got around to it, the ps1 is an absolute beast. There was some rusting on the shielding but the PCB was no worse for wear. Didn’t even need to replace the laser.
Oh I didn’t know that, thanks for the info. Yeah they wrapped up the story I just didn’t like the lack of closure, so I assumed it was a rush job. All I did was look up Travelers and saw it was canceled at some point. I understand what they were trying to do but it just didn’t sit right with me at all.
For example, Marcy and David ending up back with each other at the end. It was a cute sentiment on surface level but that’s not the Marcy we knew, nor the Marcy he fell in love with. I’d rather he just continue as the amazing social worker he is, and them show the impacted lives he made up to that point.
Mac totally changes the course of Kat’s life by making sure she never ended up with him. Hell, she probably ended up in an emotionally neglectful relationship, one she was obviously looking for a way out of when she met him. I guess it’s better than being manipulated by a traveler the rest of her life, but it was just an unfulfilling way to leave her.
And the rest of the cast get nothing at all. I truly do get the message, fucking with time did not help anyone and allowing the timeline to unfold naturally is a better solution than the intervention of the travelers. Its supposed to be a bit somber and sad, with a cool little twist that the director starts loading it’s contingency plan.
And Mac being able to travel before the most recent traveler felt like a huge Deus Ex Machina. This is one of the biggest things that separated Travelers apart from other time travel series, by limiting their capabilities to time travel. But suddenly we find out it has been possible the entire time? Rubbed me the wrong way and made it feel very similar to the ending of other time travel shows I’ve seen.
Of course, this is personal opinion, and I hope not to offend you in any way if you enjoyed the ending. But for me personally, they missed the mark on what could have been an emotionally wrenching finale.
I’m so over Netflix shows. I just watched Travelers and really loved it, but the ending was kind of terrible and abrupt. Looked it up and yep, show got canceled which is presumably why it ended the way it did. Not the first time this happened to me, but it’s going to be the last. Netflix’s IPs can burn.
Yeah but that falls firmly into the second camp of my argument. Maybe I didn’t make it super clear but I don’t think spoilers for the Matrix are a thing we should be complaining about, same for things like Star Wars and that applies doubly so to classic literature like Romeo and Juliet.
But it’s not logical to discredit somebody’s feelings for something like, and just throwing a random movie out there, Eight Below. It’s not a household title and there’s a copious amount of media out there to sift through, enough for you to be able to dedicate your life to movie watching and still not even scratch the surface.
And some people really care about their spoilers. It doesn’t really bother me, but I’ll defend those that it does; Especially when the typical argument discrediting their emotions is one grounded by emotion and not fact.
The age of something has no correlation to whether or not spoiling it for someone is valid. There’s youth being born today that obviously don’t have enough lived experience to watch every popular movie known to man. Even for an older audience, you’d have to dedicate all of your spare time watching movies just to keep up with the bare minimum of pop culture references.
I’d argue instead that the Matrix is so widely known and referred to that it’s akin to Star Wars; Someone, somewhere is going to ruin it for you eventually and we can’t stifle our own cultural spread by limiting what we make reference to.
Oh yeah, that is exactly what I want out of a handheld! And thank you so much for the link, I didn’t realize the firmware these things ship with is so out of date. If I can get the battery percentage working thanks to this, you’re a real life saver.
