Prob some racing game on Commodore 64. Or Mario on NES. It's hard to remember.

On PC though, Little Big Adventure 2.

I've been a pc gamer for almost 30 years but I can also recognise consoles have their place. Some people wanna sit in the sofa and play on their 70" TV with a gamepad with as little care as possible. Sometimes with a friend or with family (even if it's not as common as with previous gen consoles). Price don't bother them much. Playing Smash or other co-op games with 4 people on an emulator is not as user friendly as you might think. Controllers sometimes connect weirdly etc.

It's not. Or I wanna see your breakfast in the morning.

The only thing I had issue with was the cable to the battery. For the longest time it felt like I had zero progress removing it. I even started doubting I did it right, then it started moving. Take your time. Also the shielding didn't fit my ssd. So I had to carefully open it up and wrap it arround. I still never felt I was outside of my comfort zone. And I never do this type of thing. Just take it slow.

Games haven't gotten more expensive since ever. Like I said above, The Original Donkey Kong for the SNES was 66 usd. It releases in 1994.

Awesome idea!

I bought an external travel monitor just recently. 15-16", 10800 mah battery, 1080p. Very thin. Plug it into the usb c and the screen even have touch. I can now play on a bigger screen without the need of a tv or even a power socket. Pair this with a dock, a small keyboard and wireless mouse and you basically have that laptop for when you need it. Brings cost up somewhat for sure. But now you can use it as handheld, on a screen, or on the tv.

Yeah it's far more relaxing to play a jrpg with good music, nice looking environments when I can actually listen to the music and look at the world instead of focusing on the enemies tells and dodgeroll at the exact perfect moment. Nothing wrong with perfect dodgerolls. But I don't want them in all my games.

Wait. Why? Everything I've tried works well. Maybe I haven't tried enough games?

Nothing can happen using Decky Loader and you don't have to load the bleeding edge plugins if you don't want to. It all up to you which plugins you use. It's one of the most useful tools for the Deck. The plugins you use could be really basic, like helping you change icons on the games, reach menu for Bluetooth without going into settings, getting HowLongToBeat stats on your game info, etc. It's all very handy and extremely easy to set up. YouTube is your friend on this one.

You should also check out CryoUtilities. It's not going to be for you if you don't wanna use third party apps right now. But at least check out his youtube video explaining the tool anyway. You will find it interesting and learn quite a lot even of you don't install the software.

Quite the jump from 199 but add another 140 dollars and you get a machine that handles Ps5 remote play, emulation, playing games locally and streaming from your PC. Sure the screen is worse but a Steam Deck is so much more value for money. This seems like a small return for quite a lot of money.

Edit: I forgot about Game Pass. Beep.

Love u a little now!
