I always find myself coming back to Sega Bass Fishing. The old arcade/Dreamcast game.

all my homies hate Nintendo.
- Comment on Anbernic no longer shipping to the US 1 week ago:
I guess this made my choice on handheld for me. been weighing a few options but I might just keep using my phone and 2DS XL for now.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
Assault Suit Leynos on the PS4 (and on steam). The port of the first game, not the “Saturn Tribute” port of the second game. It was on sale on the PlayStation store for $1.99 a few days ago so I snapped it up.
Also probably Front Mission on Steam because of the current sale.
I tried to play Metro 2033 Redux since it was free on GOG but I ran out of time on my lunch break. May dive back into that.
- Comment on Metro 2033 Redux is free to claim on GOG for the next two days 2 weeks ago:
this seems to be the case. i tried to redeem it a few times with no success (in a couple of browsers and in heroic). an hour or so later i got an email saying it was added to my library.
- Comment on A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it 3 weeks ago:
while i don’t have one of these handhelds, i do have a 2ds xl and i had a steam deck that i eventually sold. for me it’s mostly size. i took it to three countries and several states and it was mostly just a burden to carry the deck around, meanwhile the smaller device was easier to toss in a bag.
part of my choice was also that i don’t play a lot of modern games so i didn’t need the horsepower that the steam deck provided. it’s all nuance and preference, i think.

sounds like you’ve made up your mind. wnjoy windows 11!

maybe try bazzite? i’ve found it to be a better experience than nobara and steam games run fine for me, aside from the obvious big titles that have anticheat issues.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 4 weeks ago:
battlefield 2042… unless i have a squad or some friends, i rarely play the objective. i mess around with gadgets, try to fly the wingsuit to weird places, try to launch vehicles where they don’t belong, try to find clever ways to kill people, whatever. my score is always trash and my team hates me but i’m usually having a great time.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 4 weeks ago:
Castlevania: aria of sorrow, more raycrysis from the ray’z cronology, and I might finally buy the first leynos port for ps4.
where is the line between patient and retro gamer?
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 5 weeks ago:
things like dsda improve the game so much. It’s hard to go back to the original game files.
- Comment on Self-Hosted podcast 5 weeks ago:
maybe the reality is somewhere between them marketing things but also being really passionate about something. good observations.
- Comment on Self-Hosted podcast 5 weeks ago:
thanks for this bit of history. I had no idea joe was involved with Jupiter previously but it explains how he and Alex seemed to know each other.
I’m glad that Joe’s podcasts are still going. I find Chris and the Jupiter crew insufferable to listen to. the episodes feel like a mix of ads and cryptobegging between brief overly animated bits of content.

- Comment on Trojan Room coffee pot - Wikipedia 2 months ago:
Love the trojan coffee cam!
A couple decades ago when I was an office drone, I badly wanted to rig up something similar but the way the cabinets were arranged it was too difficult. The easier system was whoever went to the break room would knock on the wall if the pot was full.
- Comment on How do you actually find fediverse boggers 2 months ago:
read.write.as shows posts from users on that platform. maybe a good place to start looking. at any rate, it’s pretty ad-hoc and manual because, while it federates, you’re not going to see activity other than posting.

sadly it looks like the number of platforms you can sign into are really limited. would be nice if they let you specify an instance. a good start, nonetheless.

Battlefield 2042 (xbox series s), Danmaku Unlimited 3 (steam), Ketsui Deathtiny (ps4), and eFootball (android/xbox, though I’m not sure that one is in the right place here).

radiodroid is also great. it’s an interface for radio-browser.info

have these streams been added to radio-browser.info?
- Comment on If I lose the spread gun, I start over. 6 months ago:
MUSHA has this with the orb circle shield/weapon thing (I never learned the name). I used to think this was bad game design but even if it was an accident it’s interesting trying to bend your way around a game to keep from picking up stuff you dont want.
