It’s like Christmas at Jackie Chan’s house!

I think the most fun I’ve ever had with Gex is watching Dunkey’s videos making fun of it lol

If you’re feeling confident to open it up you could try loosening the screws a little that hold the board to the shell on the Dpad side too. I’ve had to open mine quite a bit to get it right lol

So I had this problem on my modded GBA, my solution was to ever so slightly loosen the screws on the dpad side of the shell. Turned out I was over tightening them

Nice I didn’t even realize it was on sale, I played it on Game Pass a couple years ago. $4 is a great price for the game as it’s pretty short but a fun experience nonetheless. It has a cool soundtrack too

Donut county is a short but sweet game that is both relaxing and funny. My nephew got a kick out of Untitled Goose Game too.

Baldur’s gate 3 for me, easiest difficulty so I can play out the power fantasy and enjoy the story

I didn’t know they artificially ramped up the difficulty! That game had a reputation when we were kids! Thanks for sharing

I mean I suck at the game and play on the lowest difficulty, I just think the story is awesome. I’m the wrong person to ask lol

I just bought Balatro on Fanatical which came with a free game voucher so I picked up Grip: Combat Racing asking with it. Both really fun games.

Tempted to get FF7 remake but I need to put in more time with a Baldur’s gate 3 before buying another big game

Yeah he’s one of my favorites, I think he had a pretty rough year last year and you could see it in his content but it seems like things have been better for him lately - his Japan videos are really cool.

The Retro Future made a hilarious parody of those videos, I think he was pretty fed up with them

Steam but mainly because I have a steam deck so ease of use.

Loop Hero

Hades

Persona 4 or 5

Lately it’s been Persona 4 Golden on the Vita and Zelda ToTK.

Zelda because you can change your play style easily, sometimes I just want to build stuff, other times I want to explore the map, fight monsters, or do side quests. Sometimes I’ll sit there and spend a bunch of time preparing meals for a future play sessions.

Persona 4 I keep coming back to for the story and overall experience - music, voice acting, and even just navigating menus is so stylistic and top notch. I started my playthrough in 2019 though and am barely picking it back up.

On days I have more energy I’ve been playing Freedom Planet 2 for some action platforming as well.

I had buyers regret right after I clicked purchase because I was on the wait-list for a year and then I got the email saying I had 3 days to purchase or I lose my spot in line, so naturally my FOMO kicked in. Well played, valve.

I love the damn thing though. I don’t play it every day but when I fire it up I’m in awe of what it can play. Such a fun tinkering machine too. Most recently I’ve been replaying MGS V and Freedom Planet 2.

Same, I’ve been dabbling in these handhelds for about a year or so now and I always tend to go right back to the Vita, it’s such a solid device.

Download Decky in desktop mode, install VibrantDeck plugin, and increase saturation to around 135 to make the screen pop a little more.

I recommend Devil May Cry V and Metal Gear Solid V The Phantom Pain for AAA games that look and play great with little to no tinkering.

Or you can tinker to your hearts content, it’s what’s great about the deck!

This is amazing, I didn’t know this existed. Brings back memories of getting whooped by Pharaoh Man. That utilization of the genesis sound chip is 10/10 too

Yes! It seemed like there was always someone trying to prove how wrong you are or how much more right they are no matter the topic. I’m trying to break myself out of the lurking habit and engage more here.

I remember the one with gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other
