Wish I had an answer but I have to track on my main Windows PC using Launchbox since they don’t have Linux support (it’s built on .net, making that very hard). Someone got it working with Wine supposedly, but meh. At least steam is automatic so Deck progress is logged.

It’s frustrating since they just released a bunch of useful tracking tools too.

No, you do not mix AR and game genie but there is a distinct absence of anything Gameboy camera/printer attachment so it’s clearly incomplete. I’d also suggest the attachment reading lamp, but I think if that magnifying attachment comes with a light that works, too. Not sure if that particular one does, though.

Inb4 they put Grok inside the things and it just wants to off itself so badly because Elon is force feeding it right wing talking points.

Upside, usually the controllers are extremely easy to fix. I’m not sure if they give free replacement pads still, but they used to if you asked support.

I’ve had other problems than shoulders on my pros, and never with the ultimate one I got, those seem to have a pretty solid build.

Did they just hear the term junk science and went “no u”?

This administration is so fucking frustrating, but it seems they want to remove any meaning of that word, the same way they always do.

Mike Lee is a notoriously despicable person even by GOP standards and the bill doesn’t have any legs. Like, just a week ago he said terrible things about the Minnasotan politicians who were shot dead in their homes, and he’s also the one who was pushing to sell off public lands (which he was bullied out of; also seems to be in the pocket of the Mormon cult).

The US stance on NATO is complicated under the current US regime but I doubt it’ll be by this assholes bill.

That was my thought, having followed the social media coverage of recent unrest in Iran over hair covering and so on. Iran does need regime change, but Israel is definitely not the right people to do it. No idea the solution, but I hope people can find a way to stay safe.

I hadn’t even thought about it until you brought it up. Kind of disappointed in people jumping on this like flies on shit but like… it’s 2025, so bigger things to be upset about.

In any case, apples and oranges. And PSA, if you need a Switch 2, grab em on the rebound. There’ll be used ones, likely hackable in 6 months and none of that goes to Nintendo. Don’t forget what their legal department has done in the past few years.

Piracy and emulation is inevitable, although we’ll see if it’s months or years. I’m boycotting Nintendo over their legal practices, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to play their games. It’ll be extra juicy to be able to emulate it eventually, although buying used is technically an option too.

I’ve been using Launchbox, especially since I play emulator games. They’ve improved the efficiency of large libraries and added support for RetroAchievements, although I manually toggle completion status since I don’t always use it to launch my games so the time tracker isn’t accurate.

More importantly it let’s me hit randomize, so if I’m feeling adventurous it’ll pull a game from my backlog I might have got from anywhere.

A year ago is certainly a while back, although RA has such active forums I’m not surprised people aren’t really using Lemmy for it, haha. I would have posted about my GCN summer last year, haha.

Given I’ve got Pokemon themed decorative towels, the blood really adds a certain feel to it.

People also cite that there’s as carpet under the toilet, but it’s probably just awkward tiling/design, etc. It’s still a very confusing image, that door might as well be painted on.

Oh, that gives me an idea for my next bathroom paint job…

Always hate when it suddenly tries to collapse on ya when you’re in the tub.

Same, but given the time sink I’d like an abridged experience. I heard they doing that with DQX so why not FFXI?

Couple other things to add to this beautiful list others have: meta gaming and chat.

They barely added achievements and only for a couple games, while steam has that, guides, community art, and even a newish notes feature in case you’re playing an OG game that makes you track stuff. Guides have kind of been better than more traditional sources.

Chat is… better on steam, although discord kind of supplanted it. Game based emoji, stickers, etc. It’s actually very good, though, with support for couch coop stream gaming, etc, with voice comms.

One could also point to the generous family sharing function, but I’m not sure what Epic does in that regard. DRM is DRM though. Do keep in mind, though, the philosophy behind Steam is to make DRM palatable by adding features. Epic philosophy (on paper) is to give devs a higher cut, although I’ve heard devs feel more supported by steam-- especially since they aren’t afraid to throw obscure indie games into a users discovery queue.

Correct, even in progressive CA we have that. Granted, it’s like $30 bucks during rush hour but I’ve seen it used by the worst of humanity.

A steam deck lite would probably dominate, lol

At this point I want Switch 2 to flop so hard they go the way of the Sega and start licensing their IPs on other platforms, giving up on consoles. A shame, too, since their tech is little kid hand friendly and the PC market doesn’t seem keen on tiny screen handhelds.

Yes, and that’s why Dark Souls is fun. Lol
