    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    upscaling can be very impressive but I also like super crisp pixels á la OSSC and scanline emulation.

    What have you bought recently?

    HORI Fight Stick Mini Switch. I've had it a few days and am really liking it. It's surprisingly small but the joystick is nice and clicky and I can do sho-ryu-kens every time so must be low latency. I have a joystick with Sanwa components but the center of gravity is too high so it doesn't lie...

    yep. upscaling & higher frame-rates means emulation beats original hardware. dolphin is another excellent one.

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    Just completed Half-Life 2 Episode 2. Hmmmm... lame ending. But a well curated adventure. I was never that sensitive to frame rates but it was a bit choppy. I played on ps3. My HL2 cravings have been satiated.

    Steam Deck (using SteamOS) handheld by Valve

    Some say HL:Alyx is the only really good VR game so far I'm kinda obsessed with the HL world. I'm playing Stanley Parable now. I don't really get it... And my daughter looks very similar to Alyx <3

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    To my surprise I finished Half-Life Episode One last night. I hadn't been playing it recently for fear that the audio (gunshots) might be annoying to my family. Immediately my daughter asked what I was playing. I got excited thinking she's into video games....

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    I just completed Super Mario 64 Shindou Edition on MiSTer Pi. It's a total master piece and GOAT. I never got into it before because the physics are a bit clunky (dated), but as with any game you get better with practice. People complain about the camera but I was ok with it. IIUC it was one of...

    Open Pandora free to good home

    Giving it away is foolish imo. Someone willing to pay is more likely to be a good home. Else it's just the first person to jump for a freebee. The best home is the highest bidder.

    The What Music Are You Listening To Thread

    Smoothest rhymes. Hard a.f. lyrics. So classic

    The Communication Cube

    The distinguishing feature of BASH is tab completion. My DOS friend said that tab completion is the distinguishing feature of Linux.

    Nintendo Switch 2

    The most annoying thing (to me) is when you die you go back and have to scan everything again. My feeling is it's a rushed game and they put most effort into the graphics. I want to finish it though. If I didn't it would be a pity.

    Nintendo Switch 2

    Metroid is overrated. Almost as much as Castlevania.

    All Switch exclusive games have been somewhat underwhelming.

    The Communication Cube

    America wants the war in Ukraine to continue to weaken Russia, it's old arch nemesis. It saddens me when India ramp up their oil imports from Russia. Seems unethical. But yeah, it's big bucks. I think it's sick that France, Holland, Beligium, Portugal and host of poorer European countries...
