Nine sols was sick, nice to see it featured!

On your ps2 list: Black, prince of persia, and sly cooper are all favorites of mine. POP warrior within is my all-time favorite though, it’s a bit grittier and darker with a hard rock soundtrack and lots of blood/gore :)

Great review! This definitely sounds cool, I may have to load this up soon. Thanks for sharing too 👍

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!

I’ll be honest, I couldn’t get into it much myself for some reason but I know that it’s pretty well regarded anyway. Keep us updated, if you’d like.

Good, then it should die

Absolutely, you’re welcome! Donkey Kong country returns is an incredible game and it came out on the wii originally. Tropical freeze came out after, and both games are among my all time favorites for sure 😁

I could be wrong, but I think the orange pi neo may have been the first device to feature trackpads (after the steamdeck of course). It hasn’t actually released yet though, and apparently it’s still in testing stages or something. It will be interesting to see how the Zotac develops as more info becomes available.

Love seeing that custom xbox, that thing is sweet! More custom builds and hardware hacks please! :)

I’ve been playing Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze lately. The stage 5 levels are starting to get difficult…

Ah, I missed that. Thanks for explaining 👍

Sorry, what’s this got to do with Sony?

Yeah, I didn’t like the shape/feel of the stock sticks either. I never really had any problems with sick drift or anything, but I also didn’t actually own the system for very long either.

To remedy this, I had actually bought some stick caps from skull & co (per recommendations from people on here actually) and they were quite excellent.

Personally, I didn’t like physically holding the steam deck. In my opinion, it’s much too heavy/bulky and even with a high quality comfort grip It just wasn’t working for me. Ultimately, I ended up going with an Ayn Odin 2 instead and I’ve been enjoying my portable/lounging game time much more now. I do miss the ability to play my steam library though. Even though I can still do this with streaming, I just don’t like streaming games as much. Other than the weight/size/ergonomics, which most people seem to be just fine with, the only other thing I’d mention is that steam’s UI is buggy as hell when you’re browsing around the store. I ended up doing most of my browsing on desktop as a result.

All that being said, you can’t deny the draw of it. Even though it wasn’t for me personally, I still like the system and I’d still recommend it to pretty much anybody. There’s a reason Steam Deck is the champ.

Also, look up retro game corp if you aren’t familiar. He just released a video today called ‘dude, just get a steam deck’

Nice ingenuity!

Nice. Still your design, or did you go with aftermarket?

🤦

No pictures??

Man, that first one is really cool. What is it?

I feel like if it drops that much in one year, it’s probably a pretty shit game anyway right?

Ha! That’s good shit. Thanks buddy :)

Link?

Bro, the internet doesn’t forget.

The Razer wolverine v3 has some excellent back paddles (apparently), but it’s expensive though.
