Generally, I'm not into the "price per hour" reductionism... I'd rather a game was a short, remarkable (bonus: replayable) experience -- 10-20 unless a longer game truly is that long without filler. Can't put a price on having fun 100% of the time!
Sonic 3 and Knuckles takes like 3 hours for an average person to beat.
Octopath 2!
I've thought about them, though I think id want more space for the buttons... like a 3ds without a bottom screen
a thin DS style clamshell with an 8 inch screen, dual track pads and extra face buttons instead of back buttons
Big mood
men are vicious lol
sadly, though understandably, no purchases. it's just a 10 foot launcher for games you already have.
I have a ton of gog, some steam, some itch.io, and a few emulators, and it auto scans them all!
It's excellent!
There's a couple of things that bother me that are in a wontfix status, but overall it's been a great experience.
is it confirmed to work entirely over LAN without an online connection?
… the touchpads on the deck are so great, and i wish everything had them, though they do feel like they're in the way of a where a button could be...
Mind: I only used SteamOS for a couple of days before moving to Win11 on the deck, and it got eventually bothersome to kludge together all these community components and still cross my fingers on simple things like connecting it to a TV. Steam deck tools is great, and handheld companion is a comprehensive suite, but I think i want to start with "just works".
I like that the ally's screen is natively horizontal 1080p so Duplicate display doesn't misbehave on externals and random games don't have resolution/scaling/vsync issues; all the fancy controller stuff is built in and easy to use, and it's windows by default so I'm not fighting it with GOG + playnite (my main use case). It also has a really nice fit and finish!
the people have a right to know!
it's been a few years since I've used an iPhone, mainly because of the third party apps thing. Don't these usually get shut down for violating Apple's enterprise license agreement or something?
