The Deck Trap is sweeet! Who would hate on something like that, it's so cool! I also like it a lot that they have a custom briefcase cutout for everything. It's so covert, and nerdy at the same time. Excellent organization.

EmuReady sounds awesome! I'll definitely be using that in the future, hopefully it will be a good resource for my Odin 2 Max!

I've never played the Animal Crossing games, but I know they are cult classics. I love seeing all these decompilation projects!

Your next interview is giving me darknet diaries vibes, sounds like it has potential to be very interesting.

I've mostly (still) been playing Skyward Sword HD lately. It's pretty fun, but also starting to become a drudge. I kind of wish that the motion controls (even the fixed hd version) were just regular controls with normal camera movement instead of having to hold a modifier button.

I think I might give either Windwaker or Twilight Princess a try next and see how that goes. Though, I'll have to see if I can get the action replay codes to work for fixing the camera controls if I decide to play the gamecube versions... Wii U emulation on Android just isn't quite there yet, and I haven't taken the time to fully check out Rocknix yet.

Nine sols was sick, nice to see it featured!

On your ps2 list: Black, prince of persia, and sly cooper are all favorites of mine. POP warrior within is my all-time favorite though, it's a bit grittier and darker with a hard rock soundtrack and lots of blood/gore :)

Absolutely, you're welcome! Donkey Kong country returns is an incredible game and it came out on the wii originally. Tropical freeze came out after, and both games are among my all time favorites for sure 😁

~~I could be wrong, but I think the orange pi neo may have been the first device to feature trackpads (after the steamdeck of course).~~ It hasn't actually released yet though, and apparently it's still in testing stages or something. It will be interesting to see how the Zotac develops as more info becomes available.

Love seeing that custom xbox, that thing is sweet! More custom builds and hardware hacks please! :)

I've been playing Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze lately. The stage 5 levels are starting to get difficult...

Ah, I missed that. Thanks for explaining 👍

Sorry, what's this got to do with Sony?

The Razer wolverine v3 has some excellent back paddles (apparently), but it's expensive though.

For sure, I thought I was pretty much done with turn based. They just don't hold my interest the same way as they could when I was a kid. The active dodges and parries are pretty fun though, albeit difficult. I'm really surprised that they didn't implement timed attacks as well. There was another game that I played fairly recently, Sea of Stars, that did similar mechanics with timed attacks too.

I played BOTW on Wii U for a while when it first came out and (hopefully we can still be friends after this, lol) I couldn't get that into it. I didn't enjoy the weapon degradation system, which seemed to be a core concept. I don't know much about the modding scene for BOTW, but I wonder if there's mods that can change this and make it more akin to the traditional games in the series?

I bet the stamina mod helps a lot. I could see it being a really enjoyable experience, in a totally different way than the intended experience, with some of those basic changes like that.

Wholesome :)

I've been playing Clair Obscure a bit, definitely enjoying my time with it. I also played the Synthbeasts demo a little the other day. It's pretty good, but really needs a hotswap mechanic for controllers.

What mods do you have on BOTW?

Edit:

Almost forgot! Also, I played the Haneda Girl demo for a bit too, it's really good!

The ui in general needs a huge overhaul. It could be way better, and I've encountered so many bugs.

That amerzone remake caught me by surprise when it moved. Lol. Looks like a neat game too 😁

Fucking Nintendo...

I think I've seen something about a decompilation project for 007, maybe that could come to fruition some day instead.

Thanks for the reminder that i need to play dkc3 at some point.

It's a real bummer to see all of these excellent handhelds being stifled because of the asinine tariffs fiasco.

Have you considered starting your own community on Lemmy? Just a thought.

Also, thank you for posting!

I know, right!? I haven't played it in a long time, but had tons of fun with it when I was. Great party game and especially great for people who remember what it was like playing split screen back in the day 😅

• Shredder's revenge

• It takes two

• Gang beasts

• Rivals of aether

• Screen cheat

Maybe, but take a look at the refurbished/used market first. I got a really decent deal on mine that way, which helps justify it a bit 👍

👍 thanks.

SFF?

That's valid. I've been much more inclined to tone down difficulty settings in recent years. I still try them at the intended default, but I don't have time or patience when it's broken or too difficult. My limited game time has been much better as a result.

Thanks for sharing!

Which mods did you install on KCD2? Just curious
