I know Retroid are kind of the more "affordable" option, but after my RP3+ broke from just regular use and cheap parts, and them not helping me because of discontinued support for the device, I don't really want to spend more money on them. At this point I'd probably rather save for a steamdeck, despite it being huge and clunky. Retroids recent items are just ugly as well, IMO.

Interesting! I played it for the first time recently and think it didn't really hold up in the slightest. I could understand why at the time it excelled, but playing it now was a chore for me. What's it doing for you that is really grabbing you?

The Golden Sun series. Again. Last month I was playing the Dragon Quest 3 remake, but got to a part where the bosses and enemies drastically ramped up in difficulty which really out me off of it. I'll return to it a bit later, probably. Still a really fun game.

I'm still meaning to try any of the silent hill games, but I've played both the original RE4 and the new remake multiple times each. I think they're both fantastic.

I've been wondering this exact thing lately. I've got a retro handheld that is breaking because the company seems to have used cheap parts internally, and they no longer support repairs or selling the parts. After only a year of owning it, I feel pretty annoyed, so started looking at alternatives. Steam deck was one I was considering, but the price point means I'll need to save for a while.

Only because the province got involved. Clearly, city bike lanes are a provincial issue.

This was my take on the video, as well. I never played the Cyber Sleuth games, mostly because the backgrounds seemed just like you said. Boring and bland; it didn't interest me. This immediately looks a lot more visually interesting to me.

I played the Wii and the HD. Both many times, but I couldn't tell you the difference other than the controls. Not sure if that says more about me, or the game...

All of those are due to the drastic increase in jobs during covid. This is happening in many, many tech related careers. It is not because of inclusivity. Get your head out of your ass.

I can't be the only one that has had issues with game pass, can I? I've tried it 3 separate times for 2-3 months each on three different PCs, and every time I've had different issues.

The windows client has been buggy. Sometimes clicking things just... doesn't work. The pathing for save files is done in such a way that you can't transfer them from PC to PC. Some games just straight up not working. The list went on for me. I figured I'd keep giving it another try on a new system, but not anymore.

I've read some people have absolutely zero issues after years of using it. I wonder why the experiences vary so highly from user to user. Game Pass was an interesting service, but a horrible experience for me.

Something to consider. With conversion, new games are usually $80-$100 in Canada.

People still buy them.

I just restarted Ys Origin! I love that game.
