Yea your not alone, I bought a Steam Deck bc of fomo, and resold my unit shortly after receiving it because I didn't like it. I'll continue to hold out for a future portable PC handheld. And I only had to watch one youtube review to tell I wasn't down for the ROG Ally, d-pad seems quite crappy.
Glad to hear about the Miyoo, was thinking about getting one of those for work, now you got me excited about it.
Been tempted to try to replace my RP2+ with a newer gen model, but dunno if I could ever give Abernic another shot with how bad I hated the one I had, but I'm sure all their devices are different so maybe I should. Also considering the Odin Lite.
Oh yea I don't mind paying, I'm not on fiverr to be cheap lol. Maybe I need to take a deeper look, most people on fiverr I had trouble with if what I wanted them to make me was more complicated than like a one sentence description lol. So I've never successfully had web design done off it.
However for things that require little to no explaining like getting a portrait made it's been awesome.
Does everyone just think they can make a living playing games? Trying to search for Diablo 4 info gets you nothing but mountains of useless clickbait youtube videos. Gotta waste my time jumping thru the video just to find out the guy is dumber about the game than I am....
As someone who's not an auditory/visual learner I feel personally attacked by this. I skipped class and stayed home and read the book/notes for a reason.
I mean I would argue it's related, the reason behind it is $$$. Corporate interests have homogenized content and de-normalized diversity and community.
People who use to just post their excel sheets and research on some bb forum for free somewhere starting getting paid by icy veins or maxroll. Overtime they establish a monopoly on the content and can do whatever the hell they want.
Why make a platform that depends on the community and you get the ad views when you can adopt a business strategy that also gets you youtube and social media views while eliminating your competition.
And the youtube trend is just people trying to emulate the handful of people who managed to make it big off the twitch/youtube bag.
Rofl, it's a hobby, you do it for fun, you shouldn't need to get paid. I also play tennis as a hobby and I love to talk to people about it without charging them money believe it or not. The fetishization with internet fame, views, and money is making gaming weird.
I mean back when I was more into gaming I would contribute. I didn't expect money, I just did it because it was fun. I feel like there's a big disconnect between the current generation and my generation that wrote 300 page guides on gamefaqs for the hell of it rofl.
I'm trying to find a good CRT shader for RetroArch to preserve transparency effects (like the waterfalls in Sonic 2) and dithering. The problem is, a lot of shaders that are lightweight enough (easymode, lottes-fast, etc.) don't seem to do the trick, the ones that work well (sonkun, royale) are too heavy for the hardware, and...
Dunno if its any better than what you are already using, but I just use TV-Out + Interlacing preset. I actually made a thread about this on libretro, here are the answers I got.
That answer suggesting crt1-tap is new since last time I checked it.. might have to give that a try when I get home.
Problem is 480p is simply not enough pixels for most shaders to do their thing. If I was to upgrade to the RP3 this would be my main reason.
Oh I get it, and I wasn't even blaming kbin, for all we know the issue is on lemmy's side, they have an open github issue for non-lemmy federation. I'm just saying the ecosystem as is relies on two separately developed platforms maintaining interoperability with each other.
So I take fluoxetine for depression and anxiety. I need to take 40mg a day. I have enough 40mg pills to get through the week, but I also have a bunch of 20mg pills. They are both delayed-release capsules. The difference is basically the dose. I can schedule a psychiatrist appointment to get a refill, but that requires a phone...
So I've not seen it mentioned before, but if you want to start getting into private trackers, you can check out the private tracker general thread (/ptg/) on the /g/ board of 4chan...
I'm working on starting up a community here as I get time, /c/trackers
Not much atm but I plan to keep working hard on it, feel free to post, just don't look at the wiki, I just did a rough first draft yesterday and its riddled with typos and grammar errors lol
With the shut down of The Realm Online in just a few days, we see another old-school MMORPG consigned to history. It got Bradford thinking: how many of us are still playing our first MMO, or have we migrated away - or were forced away through because they just no longer exist?
Same, also handy our MMO is kept on indefinite life support with new fresh start progression realms and classic era private servers, will probably keep me playing for many more years lol.
Favorite D-pad?
This is my number one thing I look for in a handheld so just wondering what models have stuck out to you guys....
Russ talks about his current favorite handhelds! (lemmy.world)
A new video from Russ just dropped today....
About to start rolling out wave 2 of Artemis beta 👀
LET'S GO
Remember Everquest Online Adventures for PS2?
Best way for a layperson to hire out graphic design help for hobby project?
Like say for example I wanted a cool icon for my kbin/lemmy community....
What file-sharing and media organizing software do you wish that existed?
To complement this post:...
If you could satisfy your daily nutrition and caloric needs with one food in particular, what food would you happily eat for the rest of your life?
Think of it as “people kibble”. Without shame, I would eat Cheetos as my solitary food item for the rest of my life (CRUNCHY, not puffs)
The Diablo clickbait is unreal, is the enshitification of the internet reaching the gaming communities now?

Suggestion to put Game in Titel

Anyone have CRT shader suggestions for the RP2+?

How to build a wiki or any kind of database for our subs?
Pinning what is relevant takes too much space. Do we have an alternative?
HD-DVD vs Blu-Ray
Imma start by prefacing that I like kbin way better so far....
Can I add pills?
