You’d probably be better served by a retro handheld. A lot of them run android so you can play android games, but the built in controllers make emulating actually enjoyable.

Major issue is that the ones cheaper than a switch struggle with 3D games.

If you have the money, steamdeck is definitely one of the best bang for buck, but it’ll probably be more expensive than a switch (unless you can find a deal on a used/refurbished one).

There is also dead cells, slay the spire, monster train, disable immortal, etc.

However, those are also all playable on switch too. Technically you can emulate the switch on android, but I think this brings up the biggest flaw in gaming on android; you’re either emulating or streaming for most good games.

I mean, there is literally only Mario Kart World right now. Donkey Kong is coming soon, and then Metroid Prime 4. But that’s not a lot to be missing out on for the time being.

Not to mention a bunch of it is false/misleading.

Yep, bind mount the data and config directories and back those up. You can test a backup by spinning up a new container with the data/config directories.

This is both easy and generally the recommended thing I’ve seen for many services.

The only thing that could cause issues is breaking changes caused by the docker images themselves, but that’s an issue regardless of backup strategy.

Yeah, I’ve primarily gotten graphic novels/manga/ebook bundles as of late from them. Most game bundles have maybe one interesting game and just isn’t worth all the extra cruft.

Really you should have it direct to a clone of the site, but with fake accounts pushing whatever agenda you want.

I always thought the simplest way to do it is to pass laws that require every website to provide a rating/content description and then leave it up to the end user to set acceptable levels. We don’t get mad for kids watching the wrong content on TV.

Websites could be fined for either not providing or providing incorrect classifications.

If people don’t want their kids to see that stuff, make sure the parents have the tools to enforce.

I didn’t realize they were using BYD, what does Tesla even provide at this point compared to any other car manufacturer?

Yeah, that would be my recommendation too. Anything else will produce a worse experience (laggy and slow) and more complexity to get setup/maintain.

I mean, this has always been true, the drones only close the gap by miles. The big issue with the drone attack was Ukraine ability to sneak explosives deep into Russian territory. The delivery mechanism of drones may make it more accurate, but it could have been rockets/mortars and the effect would have been the same.

Yeah, I was going to say that TV wasn’t much of a news source to begin with. The real issue is that social media for news is probably worse - now everyone can be spoonfed the news they want.

The band Creepy Nuts is a Japanese rap(?) group that did the Dandadan opening, but I also really like their opening for Mashle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLW35YMzELE

It makes me wonder if this will bring more people back to consoles. The library may be more limiting, but when a console costs less than just a gpu, itll be more tempting.

I didn’t know this one wasn’t well received until just now. To me it’s one of the few good 3D sonics. The plot, stage design, intersecting stories with varied play styles. All of that made it feel like playing in a full world.

That being said, I’m hit or miss on sonic in general, so maybe I like it for not being a traditional sonic game.

Personally the movement mechanics and the tropical overworld were amazing in this game.

While the water jetpack may seem like a gimmick, I thought it really changed the platforming in a good way.

Additionally, I’m a sucker for a good overworld and the amount of things you can unlock or discover in delphino plaza turns it into its own sort of level.

There is definitely some jank and padding (blue coins) in the game, but it holds up better than Mario 64 in my opinion (just due to the camera issues IN Mario 64).

Maybe it’s not a bad tutorial, but it is long and slow.

Ah my bad, that’s definitely a good point.

My opinion is that in the game you should have collected rooms over time, but be able to build the house with whatever tiles you have.

This would still require multiple playthroughs, as you need to rebuild the house for different puzzles, but also removes some of the RNG by tying it to finding new rooms rather than at every door.

I’m not sure if I agree on the “full price” comment, it’s not much different in quality than Myst or Outer Wilds.

Outside of that I agree, the real deciding factor is how much RNG annoys you. I loved the puzzles and gameplay, but gave up after the “first” ending because there were a ton of puzzles I knew how to solve, but couldn’t get back to or get the right resources for them. Some might argue the RNG is part of the puzzle, but for me it felt more punishing than it should be.
