I keep an iPod in my purse, but I also keep a gameboy pocket in there for a hundredth Pokemon Red playthrough whenever I have some downtime.

i found a game I liked and it’s free with an optional $10 donation. that’s pretty cool when I barely have any money.

GameCube is charming and Dreamcast is etherealy beautiful, but nothing beats pressing that Xbox power button and feeling like you just started up a nuclear powered machine from the future.

i worked at a Dominos that would regularly be delivering that late

most of the popular stuff was bad back then too, you just got introduced to it when you were young so you’ve got rose tinted glasses for it now.

its grow enough that reddits shitty app annoy me a week ago and I haven’t looked back

i mean maybe the new drivers used maps, but even in the days of GPS I didn’t use any kind of map after the first 6 or so months of delivering, faster to not look it up when the address already tells you everything you need to know when you know the area.

I’m looking forward to this

i hate Google but I still use YouTube way too much

Its a long story, but this imgur post shows when I literally dodged a bullet by being a lazy gamer who doesn’t put her games away.

Be yourself, even if it means the people in your life currently will hate you. You’ll find people who love the real you and you’ll be much happier even if it ends up making your life harder.

(this doesn’t apply if your real self is a dick, work on that)

I spent my 20s pretending to be the person the people in my life wanted me to be and it was miserable, I’m unapologetically myself in my 30s even if I’m still figuring out who that is. Its so much better and I wish I did it a decade ago.

My Xbox Series Controller, my Dualshock 4, my Dualsense, my Steam Controller, my Switch Pro Controller, My 8bitdo Ultimate Xbox controller, basically whatever is within reach, they’re all fine but I like the 8bitdo best.

Just use whatever you already have. If you don’t have anything I’d say go for the 8bitdo or the Xbox Series controller. They’re both excellent. The Switch pro has the buttons backwards, the PlayStation controllers don’t have the best build quality (I’ve gone through multiple of each even though I treat controllers kindly), and the Steam Controller is a little weird and not sold new anymore. So Xbox Series if you want to save money, 8bitdo Ultimate if you just want the best.

that’s a lot of good information, thank you

i think I’m gonna have to, now to pray the person who gifted it to me remembers the login for the steam account they made to buy it.

My laptop isn’t charging anymore so installing a different OS isn’t possible, fuck me right? when it rains it pours. I’ll contact support in the morning.

I’d love to try that but I’m also dealing with a separate issue where my laptop is refusing to charge so it’s dead and unusable. the deck is my only computer with power right now.

i have a second one and I tried setting that up and unfortunately the problem happens with both of them.

I also tried a wired connection after that and it does the same thing just “connecting to Wired connection 1” and then “failed to connect”

thanks for the ideas though

I’ve been using controllers on PC since the Sidewinder days, I’m glad to see support for most controllers be basically perfect on Linux and pretty decent on Windows. MacOS still has a way to go with anything that isn’t made by Sony, but it’s not exactly a gaming platform.

I really wanted to like this one but I just can’t handle being as much of a fuckup as this game will inevitably make you.

On PC popular options are Steam Remote Play and Moonlight.

for Xbox it’s built into the Xbox app, Greenlight is a good alternative on PC

for PS4/5 there’s the PS Remote Play app, but a lot of people prefer the PSPlay app on Android and Chiaki on PC for their improved functionality.

As for getting it on the TV any simple USBC->HDMI adapter will work.
