Nintendo’s infamously protective of its IP, even to its obvious detriment. I know a lot of people who jumped on the nomoretendo bandwagon after AM2R got DMCA’d, because the smart and morally correct thing to do would have been to hire that person and pull his incredible talent into the next Metroid game, because they clearly had a lot of love and respect for the subject matter and the technical expertise to put it into action. It’s hard to overstate just how fucking good and polished that project was, virtually identical to the Fusion/Zero Mission engine, except in the ways it was more improved. It was certainly better than anything Nintendo had done with Metroid in quite a while.

I got it for travel and it really is a top notch portable gaming hub. Doubly so because emulation is really easy to set up and run through the frontend. I love being able to play Elden Ring on the go.

Started playing #BLUD, I’m only about ten minutes in because sleep got the better of me last night but it looks pretty good so far.

Seepage is one of those bands that just sticks in your brain. If you like the tongue-in-cheek of Zane’s angsty edgelord teen vibes, the developers also made a doomlike in the same universe, developed by and starting that character.

People want to be Nazis without other people knowing they’re Nazis.

Like I think that’s the thing that pisses me off the most about this - Sony clearly didn’t give two shits about this game on launch with servers underprepared and overwhelmed for weeks after, but as soon as they smelled money they were more than ready to shit where Arrowhead eats with this godawful requirement.

Tired of people asking about the out of season April fool’s jokes.

It was Jeanette McCurdy’s biography about growing up with an NMom. She had to refer to Schneider as ‘The Creator’ for legal reasons, but everyone who’s looked into Schneider’s past for even 15 minutes knows exactly who it is.

If you’re fine with any genre, I’ve found Survivorlikes to be a good bit of time killing fun on the Deck. Vampire Survivor is the obvious choice, but Halls of Torment is a much more polished interpretation with the look and feel of classic dungeon crawlers like Diablo.
- Comment on Should I get a Steam Deck? 1 year ago:
I have had great times with my Deck, I picked up the 256 GB and upgraded with a 1TB MicroSD. I have to say, as hardware goes, it’s quite solid. It’s also very easy to get into the Linux backend and set it up for emulation and other side loading, and it does 6th Gen and back reasonably well, with a couple forward for the Nintendo line. I haven’t tried it myself but as I understand it, it’s a reasonably good build even for the switch. I’m not usually a device fanboy but I’m actually looking forward to the next iteration.
As for high performance, I can verify for Elden Ring, as with pretty much all of the modern titles, it runs at a steady 30 FPS 720p, with the occasional dip. If you fly long flights a lot, it’s great - just be cognizant of the low battery life and run on AC where you can.
