Big fan of #Utaite (particularly doing covers of #Vocaloid music,) games, and technology. Unfortunately I've been falling out of anime these days (harder and harder to get into things for me) and don't watch much anymore. I'm also a very slight bit of an audiophile (but limited budgets make it hard to be much of one.)
Please do not autofollow just because you saw a post of mine show up somewhere or something. Try at least speaking to me...
BTW I rarely ever click random links.
- Comment on What to Play (and Watch) While Waiting for Forza Horizon 6 (my article!) 5 days ago:
@PerfectDark Those are some really good choices. I think I loved NFS: Underground 2 the most of those by far. I really loved the customization aspect of it, but also it gave a sort of semi-open world where you could just drive around the city doing what you wanted and just enjoying the custom vehicle in general without timers and etc.

@PerfectDark Oh wow, I love that this thing is slightly smaller than the Switch Lite. I sure wish I could afford this...
- Comment on Mathieu Comandon Explains His Use of AI in Lutris Development (my interview!) 2 weeks ago:
@PerfectDark I used to really like Lutris. Clean, simple, and very minimal (unlike, for example, Heroic.) But it has been kind of falling behind in a lot of ways lately. It still defaults to their ancient implementation of WINE instead of Proton (or did last I used it) and it seemed to be really hard even to get it to properly use a modern Proton/Wine-GE somehow. (I couldn't say exactly why, but somehow it just doesn't work as well.)
While they keep things small and mostly do the real work themselves it will be fine, but it seems people who push it like this ultimately go the "vibe coding" route. I hope not. I'd still like to see Lutris remain on the map, but if it reaches the point they start handing it off to Claude it will inevitably eventually become unsustainable. We'll see.

@PerfectDark Oh wow. Somehow I never even heard about this. In its own crazy way it's kind of fascinating.

@PerfectDark Maybe I should find a picture of my PSP mod where I use an external 18650 battery. 😁
It's not pretty!

@PerfectDark I don't know about "art" or whatever, lol. I did love the PSP to death for a long time though. While the NDS had more games, some of the stuff exclusive to the PSP was really amazing. (The way so many devs saw the NDS and 3DS as "mini" systems to make less full games on really hobbled some things sometimes. The NDS and 3DS had some truly amazing games in their time, but it's sad how many with potential were brought down to a smaller game level just because they saw the platform as not serious. The PSP didn't have that problem.)
I only ever had a handful of games (and POPS conversions) but I absolutely got so much enjoyment out of my PSP for a long time. Definite nostalgia for those days spent waiting and just pulling out my PSP and playing Pop'n Music or whatever.

@jodanlime @PerfectDark I'm wondering about even this. It really feels like Nintendo almost entirely stopped caring about the Switch Lite not even that long after it came out. It should definitely have been a bigger focus IMO, but everyone seems to want everything bigger and bigger and bigger these days...
I too absolutely miss just sticking my N3DS in my pocket. (Also StreetPass. Why did that go away with the Switch??)
