The SD card is actually a very simple replacement. A few screws and the back plate comes off, then the card reader is a separate board. Ifixit places it at a 10 minute fix. No soldering, no replacing thermal paste. Assuming it’s just the reader and not something in the software, $20 and it’s fixed.

Oh yeah. Got that installed. Was fun because I hadn’t worked with Linux systems before, so finding the proper file locations was a little challenging for myself. Custom characters have post-its and I don’t get the big banner saying it was installed wrong. Even messed with performance settings the deck offers for each game and lowered those since, well, Isaac isn’t exactly the pinnacle of graphics. Even now, just custom characters, alt paths and their additional effects (rain drops, ash, etc) tanks my performance. Unless there’s some magic that I’m not seeing, I’ve tried what I know. It is a little annoying when games that have actual models, and a lot of them at once, don’t have issues at all (Deep Rock Galactic Survivor being a prime example).
FF will NOT run on my deck very well. Not even moving in the spawn room lowers me to low 50’s FPS. It’s a real shame, too.
I “beat” isaac on the Switch (one Dead God), then got it all again for the Steam Deck so I could have mods. Unsure if the mods themselves are tanking the performance, but I don’t really care. It’s up there as one of my favorite games. The creativity of the mod creators has kept me coming back to play custom characters and challenges.
Brightburn. I haven’t seen it (yet), but alternate universe where Superman becomes evil. Trailers showed him absolutely wrecking his classmates in anger and frustration.
Old Mother/Earthbound games would just let you insta-win battles if you were way stronger than the area you happened to be in. Made backtracking much smoother.
After a while, you kinda start to recognize the sneaky ninjas, standing around in the middle of nowhere just looking back and forth. Then, if you do finally talk to them, their names are just a generic title.
I haven’t seen any of the Golden Suns mentioned. Fun games.
I have seen the Zelda games mentioned and advocate for them. Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, Link’s Awakening DX, could also play Link to the past since you mention SNES.
Any of the Mario and Luigi GBA RPG’s. Mario in general. Could have a lot of fun with the All-Star collection. I’ve got a real soft spot for Dr.Mario. Probably my favorite music track in classic games with “Fever”.
I’m a fan of the other two GB Zelda games, too. Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons. When I learned there was supposed to be a 3rd one, I always hoped it would come out some day. Alas, no. A lot of gameplay, especially for a GB game.
TL:DR-I like the story and gunplay most of all. The social aspects of the game also keep me coming back to help friends and strangers.
Background: I started with vanilla D1, then picked it back up after Taken King and have been playing ever since.
For me, the game has become more about story than actual gameplay, which I still feel is one of the best around. I’m super excited about the 3rd Episode especially, seeing as the Hive still has Xivu to deal, and whatever is going on with Oryx’s body.
I still play every week. Once I’m done with my story stuff for the week, I like to help my group get their raid clears and other tasks completed. If they’re not on, I sometimes boot up LFG and help blueberries as best I can. I genuinely like to play the game, even if it’s helping others.
When story stuff is slow, I actually do like PVP, although, within the past year or so, I’ve noticed that I’ve either gotten worse or the average (remaining) player ha gotten better. No longer can I pick up any random weapon (another boon that Destiny offers, IMO. The ability to take a weapon in PVE/PVP and use it ANYWHERE, with varying degrees of success. But where was I?) and do “OK” with it. Everyone uses “easier” weapons or loadouts, and as much as that irks me (it’s quick play, FFS), that’s their right. Is that contributing to the barren, desolate landscape that is the Crucible? Possibly. I’m not, and never have been, good enough to “carry” in the Crucible, and that goes double for Trials. I tried helping a clan mate recently get the Adept Draw Time mod since it only drops from the Lighthouse. He plays on PC. That session didn’t go well.
I got a bit rambling there at the end, but I guess to answer your question, the story and gunplay of the Destiny series are the reasons I like the game. One made friends playing this game. Already been to one wedding, with another coming later this year. Wouldn’t have happened if I never decided to try the game.
Binding of Isaac. When it finally came out on the switch, I played it more than Breath of the Wild.
That game is a little bit of EVERYTHING.
Hasn’t Poland been amassing arms? I’ll admit I’m not well versed in the area, but one creator I like to watch continues to mention that Poland has been on a massive buying spree.
