- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 week ago:
With RAM pricing issues going on right now, high end studios are likely going to target a lower spec.
That is quite a positive thought that I would truly want to become real, let’s just wait and see I guess, that doesn’t change the fact that SD 2 is imminent though (I know that is obvious).
What about hybrid gaming? I don’t think anyone can agree that SD is better than the Switch 2 or any other handheld device in 2025 regarding that… Perhaps only in certain cases as locked awful framerate (for the Switch 2).
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 week ago:
It might be, but if you care about the newest games, you either stick with the Switch 2, wait for a SD 2 or look elsewhere… The SD is getting closer to the Switch 1 state where modern games start to look more blurry, and if you want a hybrid device… Well, it is gonna show more.
Also for some stupid reasons SD availability sucks in several countries, like Mexico.

I only own the PS4 version, and I certainly am not looking to re-visit it, but if the DLC is free (or free at least for the GOTY edition) then I think I would!
- Comment on Twilight Princess decompilation project reaches 99% completion 1 month ago:
For some strange reason I can’t play this game properly on the Nintendo Switch… This project gives me the hope Nintendo didn’t want to give me (still coping for Wind Waker now I guess).
- Comment on If you want to get into handheld gaming, but don't want to spend a lot, buy one of these. 1 month ago:
Aside from the weight, I don’t know why but I felt my setup was more shaky this way… That’s why the telescopic controller is still my way to go when I want to properly play on mobile.

I just leave them on and play my own way, what I got I got, what I didn’t I don’t bother… The same way I do with modern archivements.
- Comment on Palworld dev isn’t impressed by "so-called" AAA, prefers indies since they "include the kind of systems you can’t find in other games" 1 month ago:
Nice, I didn’t know about this game, I am gonna check it out.
For the curious, I found a nice mod project about Asphalt 8 called Asphalt 8 Retry it basically is an offline mod of the game with updated tracks, graphics and cards, I have been having a blast with it, definitely the ads killed the momentum for me with this one.

For real, I don’t consider myself a car lover/enthusiast, but it is a genre that has really grown on me, more like arcade racing, I think Burnout Legends and Domination for the PSP propelled this feeling lol.
Now I play Asphalt 8 regularly on my Android phone whenever I get the chance… But I really need a better alternative because I hate ads (and not seeking for emulation).
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
No, just as the other user suggested it I have not, hopefully that is not how the default view is… (because I have never modified that).
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
Hell I gotta give it a try to this… I never even looked into its options because to me history section should work just as you stated it haha.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
I am 33 years old (so not a new internet user) and I somehow feel bookmarks need a redesign… Not exactly sure how I’d improve it (tags, AI grouping? Daily bookmark to see section? I don’t really know) but if the site I have saved doesn’t show up in the FF search bar… It might as well be lost forever (and that feature is case sensitive).
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
LMAO, as a light “desktop/laptop” user I agree, if it wasn’t for tab hoarding I’d never hit 90% or more of the RAM usage of my 16 GB of RAM MacBook Pro that I have been maining since 2014 😂
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
I used to love that shit in the iPod Touch web browsing days… But in the end it ended up being another tab hoarding container for me lol.
- Comment on Why do some people have so many tabs open on their browser? 1 month ago:
If I need them again, browser history is there.
I think that browser history sucks in Firefox, I don’t know why, if it has, well history, recently viewed and recently closed sections, YET I can’t ever quickly find the one tab that I closed recently (but not that recently, recently enough to remember that I did) and it is shown days ago in the browser history which makes me always manually search for it and, oh boy if I remember a word differently from the site title I am in for a hard time…
I don’t specifically hoard tabs (I do with Simple Tab Groups) but this seemed like the perfect chance for me to rant about this… Man I remember that the history option showed you the last recent visited/viewed or closed page :/
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 1 month ago:
For me a banger is the Toy Story 2 game, and I am not even joking lol.
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 2 months ago:
if you can get past the DS touchscreen BS.
I always cry internally when somebody doesn’t like the DS and 3DS gimmicks :(
Thanks to you guys we all will only have Steam Deck clones as handhelds from now on! /s
To be honest I think most of the people that don’t like the touch gimmicks are emulating… But I have heard people with stock hardware complaining too :/

Which is the other exception?
- Comment on What is your favorite Metroidvania? 2 months ago:
I played it for the 1st time, no nostalgia googles and I didn’t really enjoy the back tracking that much (even using the quick travel spots), the way to get the powers (you kinda need to remember where the monsters are) and discovering the secret rooms felt like a chore to me.
The only Castlevania games that I have played to completion have been Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin of ruin for DS, and regarding the genre, additionally to that, it would be Metroid Zero Mission, Guacamelee! And I think those are the ones I can remember… And I didn’t feel that way with them.
I did enjoy the OST and the graphics a lot though.

More accessible? Please explain.
As in easier?
- Comment on While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago 2 months ago:
A friend of mine thinks it is gonna flop (tbh nobody knows), only because of that prior flop, he refuses to acknowledge that they might have learned of their mistakes, and hardly acknowledge that the Steam Deck is a success, only because it is a different market (he truly doesn’t believe in Steam hardware).
I for one am excited as I don’t have any PC gaming at the moment (or Steam Deck lol), I have been a console (and mostly handheld) gamer since the old days, and this bet on Steam makes sense for me in this day and age.

This would explain why the link is not resolving in Summit, Boost and Voyager (my favorite Lemmy clients).
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
and from what I’ve seen of Valve’s quality control you probably wouldn’t want to risk that.
Wait, what? Care to expand on that?
I didn’t even want to engage with a non official purchase of the Steam Deck yet for what has been already established here, and reading this kills the excitement even further 😅

NGL the cube thingy looks so damn attractive to me, especially as I don’t own any form of PC gaming…
Now please Steam, officially sell to Mexico god damn it!
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 months ago:
The dream is that these “niche” hardware starts to gain momentum and these dumb anti cheat kernel start to disappear… Like I said, a dream.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 3 months ago:
This becomes even worse when you also want to play old gems that missed because you weren’t even born, or because you had kid taste in your early gaming days, but there are worse things to complain at.
My first two video games that I had were Gran Turismo and Dragon Ball Z Ultimate Battle 22, so at my 6 years old or so I already had negative time of hundreds of nice jRPG gems LMAO.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 3 months ago:
No, but I find fund in adding them to my backlog list anyway.
- Comment on Xbox consoles are getting a price bump. Again. 3 months ago:
Are PC prices keeping steady? This new BS trend of raising price for old hardware is nothing but a bad joke, and I have always been a console (and mostly, handheld) gamer, that’s why I ask.

FIFA 20? lol.
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 5 months ago:
I didn’t know about this game, but honestly it is so good that others experience the same as I, of course I don’t think that I am the only one in the world that Chrono Trigger is not for him (not even sure about this myself), but definitely is so scarce to read comments of people struggling with the title compared with praises for it gets!

after being living in the map marker era for so long.
Jeez, this is totally it!
Thanks for putting it in simpler words for me 😅
Definitely gonna check in taking notes.
