Thank you! I really appreciate your comment, it’s one of very few which got the point of my post!

It’s just…odd. I totally understand the sentiment, but I think there’s some cave-dwellers in here who see the word Amazon mentioned and assume I am Bezos himself. Plenty of downvotes (which don’t bother me) but a few who followed me away from Lemmy and sent me friend requests in order to abuse me was - IDK, fucking stupid because:

• a) My post was pretty clear that it was just a reminder for those who do subscribe, and

• b) I think sometimes people forget that abusing someone whose work is red team pen-testing and hacking everything and everything can be a risky plan. Not that I ever do, since we have ethics, but the fact remains. It’s a odd decision to make.

I just figure they’re mouth breathers.

didn’t format correctly for some reason. No idea why since you had the # there and everything

I tried re-editing, but sometimes Lemmy does this. Its formatted as it should be, but it refuses to show correctly. I guess it might be the length of my posts, but that’s just a (poor) reasoning on why. It shouldn’t look like that, but it does. Nothing else I can do!

Thanks, though. Much appreciated!

It really is!

• You can find their affiliate link for buying directly from GOG here on their website.

• But also any games bought from within Heroic itself gives the Heroic team a certain small percentage of the sale, directly to support Heroic.

It really is!

They already took almost the lowest cut, next to itch.io, but this improvement to things is massive if you’re an indie dev!

Thank you!

I just got to Malaysia today, and its the evening here now. ̶I̶’̶l̶l̶ ̶e̶d̶i̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶a̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶p̶e̶r̶ ̶l̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶f̶o̶l̶l̶o̶w̶ ̶t̶o̶m̶o̶r̶r̶o̶w̶ ̶m̶o̶r̶n̶i̶n̶g̶.̶ (done! thanks again!)

I appreciate you pointing that out! I always end up missing a bit in these :)

No! Thank you for reading them!!!

Like I always say, I just feel lucky that people can be bothered reading through, because I have such a nice time sharing these :)

Forgive any formatting or typos, this one ended up quite lengthy (and reading over it…length for what reason?!), but as ever - thanks to all for letting me share these kinds of posts with you!

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Having personally used RetroDECK for a loooooong time now and nothing else for emulation? I can swear by it :)

Thank you!!!

It’s pretty easy if you want to try it. Both can coexist happily if say, you put all of RetroDECK on a micro SD card (the roms, emulators, bios, mods, texture packs etc all live on the SD card)

I’ve seen a lot try it out next to EmuDeck, and then make their mind up that way!

Like most with a Steam Deck, I started with EmuDeck. It’s fine, and clearly used by the vast, vast majority but like you I just had my issues with it.

I had 3 emulators installed and the data (stored in like 289745873407 difference folders in obscure places) was around 32GBs. I love that RetroDECK can exist solely on the SD card, with no problems with performance at all. And that radial dial?! Magic!

I’m glad you enjoyed this :)

Damn it.

Thank you! I always forget something! I’ll get to it soon!!!

(fixed!)

Thank you so much!!!

I feel like most of what I’ve been (casually) told about these comes down to personal preference. I get why some users want each info bit to be their own post…but I just adore the old newsletter format. So I know I’ll be sticking to that at least!

The image loads for me! Its just a collection of their controllers, but I think it was a higher res image than others, so maybe its just taking some time?

I checked in jerboa and thunder and see it in both, but let me know if it persists!

And again, thanks so much :)

Thank you, I will grab it!!!

like some sort of article reading enjoyer of enjoyable articles of sorts

This makes me very happy. I know that exact feeling - finding something kinda niche and outside one’s own scope, but then enjoying it regardless?

Thanks, you’re very kind to say so!

Well that makes my screenshot just look utterly silly. Why didn’t I think of this?!

Thank you!!!

Oh you’re so welcome!!!

:) :)

Annie, BioShock is like…one of the greatest games ever made!!!

You absolutely have to play that, the setting is just such beauty!!!

Thank you!!!

I keep getting to the end of each ‘spot’ I pick to travel to and think okay, back to real life now! then I run a poll on Mastodon or something and just run away. It’s terrible adulting, but it’s rather lovely escapism. Thanks for saying so :)

And - such thanks for appreciating these. I get turned into a odd bundle of nerves each time - it’s something silly like wondering if what I find interesting others will roll their eyes at, but seeing discussions happen around games, and finding the different kind of news most places ignore? Makes me so happy!!!

THANK YOU!

I’m so glad you’ve been enjoying it!

I’m now on my second play-through of it, and I’m just spending all my time delivering boxes and getting those stars. I love how in one moment I’m just happily admiring the beautiful landscape and climbing a mountain side, then when I do a story mission things go from 0 to 1,000 in a heartbeat.

Typical Kojima, and that’s why I love it. I’m so glad you’re having fun! It’s a very divisive game :)
