Pros: Higher res, better APU

Cons: Trackpads gone

Depends on your hardware. It mostly just works.

Tetris Effect is damned near perfect, IMO. You can turn off the visual effects / particle diarrhea, but the audio immersion & synchronization is «chef’s kiss», and it plays so well.

If you’ve not tried it once in VR, you need to.

It’ll be out before Silksong, anyhow.

I was there, too, my dude!

FYI, there’s an No-VR mod for Alyx in case you want to play it, and lack of a headset is what’s stopping you.

I’m reading all the love for the original Steam controller; I didn’t get it. Maybe it’s because I’m a heavy dpad user, but I had one and sold it off reasonably quickly.

Here’s hoping the follow-up works better for me; the Deck is fantastic!

Literally my only complaint is the Amazon’s model. More svelte in my mind, less… «hand waves» that.

Vicarious Visions’ team for that game needs the equivalent of an Academy Award for what they achieved (and no, I don’t mean Geoff Keighley’s flatulence).

Honestly, with a 4k TV and a MiSTer, you can do some amazing things with shadowmasks and scanline filters, it looks good. And still, very very little latency (I can beat Tyson in Punch Out on an LCD display, no issues – try that on Lakka)

Look into a MiSTer FPGA. It’s way better than a pi (latency!) for everything up to ps1/n64/Saturn

Wouldn’t shock me in the slightest

I’ve had it on mobile for months; I’ve just been using the script to convert the Steam exe (which I paid for) to an APK for Android.

Don’t see the point in buying the game twice.

TNG 4x17 - Night Terrors

Still a fave.

How does the Glyph/Sigil drawing mechanic (DS touchscreen) work now?

Hollow Knight

WiiU-style bad naming, perhaps? I had no idea “anniversary edition” had redone art assets.

Hollow Knight is my favorite game of all time. It’s tough though, and you will feel lost and “where the fuck am I supposed to go?”.

I recommend that new players install the mod manager and enable “free” Gathering Swarm and Wayword Compass charms mods. Frees up 2 charm slots for two QoL charms – those two free slots will make the midgame a tad easier.

Edit: The mod manager you want is called “Lumafly” (formerly Scarab).

Momo is FF9 due to a separate listing for Tetra Master starter pack DLC.

I’ll play whatever game is good, from whatever platform has the best price, provided it’s compatible.
