Had your fill of candy, sweets, or whatever your localized version of ‘edible items that are actually quite bad for you but they taste great’? We hope so, because the end of a month signals not only the start of the next, but also another progress report from yours truly.
With the recent OLED launch for the Steam Deck what is the current best manufacturer of PC gaming handheld devices? (Since there are more in case you prefer another one not listed skip the poll and answer in comments)
But pretty much everything was updated and improved. The screen is the main point why I don't use the Steam Deck so much. It's just terrible. Not bad, not unpleasant. It's terrible.
I'm extremely interested in this but probably won't get it. It's just too pricey for a still minor upgrade. Same performance but more efficient.
If they had a trade-in like "send us our old Steam Deck and pay 30% for the new one" or soI would probably be interested. And by interested I mean the post would be much shorter and would state, that I just bought it. 😅
Hi yuz-ers! Last month has been interesting, and we’re excited to report what we’ve been up to. Miis come out to play, GPU changes, Android improvements, and more! Let’s get into it.
Some long-anticipated updates landed in October, making MAME 0.260 a very exciting release! Firstly, there are some general updates to MAME itself. After a few false starts, MAME now supports bgfx video output with Wayland on Linux. As requested by users, you can finally use delta CHD files for clone systems and software items....
V9.0: 21-Oct-2023 by wavemotion-dave Fixed loading of SC-3000 Survivors Multi/Megacart roms. Slight optimization to I/O read driver. Minor cleanup as time permitted.
People keep telling me to watch "Twister", but it's never on TV or free streaming. But, I'm too cheap to "rent" it on Amazon Prime for $3.79. However, it was $2.99 at the local Goodwill. 🤔
Funnily enough, I got the atomic purple Limited Run Games x CRKD Nitro Deck dock for my OLED #Switch today, the same day scalpers stole the transparent purple #AnaloguePocket from me. 🙄
I have to admit that I might use this more than the Pocket, but who knows? I go in spurts of wanting to play retro games vs current ones.
First impression is that it does add a lot of weight to the Switch, and the ABXY buttons sometimes don’t register being pressed as expected. More later. #gaming#console
The grips for the Nitro Deck feel chunky and slightly less comfortable than the #SteamDeck grips which have a bigger change in depth relative to the screen part of the Steam Deck. As a result, even though the Steam Deck is bigger, my hands more comfortably curl around the Steam Deck grips compared to the Nitro Deck. #gaming#console#handheld#Switch
Tuturu~ yuz-ers. Did you feel that the last report was too short? Well, August was at full throttle! This month offers important graphical fixes, developers working around GPU limitations, several long overdue file system fixes, Skyline framework support, some Android and Apple love, and more!
Miss us? Summer only lasts so long and some of us need our holidays. 2023 continued to deliver swathes of new Switch titles with Pikmin 4 and a remast-... what? It’s a port? Well if you say so… Ahem, a re-release of Rockstar’s western classic: Red Dead Redemption.

The #aynOdin runs #Android unless I'm mistaken, but the upcoming #aynLoki is going to have a #ryzen chipset so I wonder what OS it will use. It's probably going to be a #SteamOS or some custom #Linux build. Thing is, I mainly want it for #emulation of #retrogames, namely #Wii, and #PS2/PS3. Might be better off getting a #SteamDeck?
At the end of my 40s I still love #VideoGames. I play on #XboxSeriesS and #GamePass (use cloud gaming while away) and increasingly on my beloved #SteamDeck for those sweet non-Xbox games.
Recently (last 12 months) (re-)played games include:
@jynersolives In this year I bought a #retro#handheld#videogame just to play 8, 16 and 32 bit old games and it was one of the best things I did this year. I also have a list of this retro games:
