A guy (he/him), obsessed with the DS/3DS and handheld game systems of nearly every kind. Too Many Handhelds on YouTube.
I just checked the tracking on my handheld and, um, what? Just say it will be here tomorrow. This is like the time equivalent of $0.99 being under $1.

There was a Sonic Fighting game called Sonic The Fighters which was left on the Saturn and came and went without much fanfare. I forgot that LAD Gaiden contains the arcade version which looks beautiful in HD. I like how the Yakuza series has a little Sega arcade preservation in the later games.

Playing PSP on the Steam Deck is like a revelation! The screen is huge, and upscaled these games look amazing! It's also powerful enough to fast forward really fast when upscaled. I'm very impressed!

I've got to go back and finish Lies of P. I had a lot of fun with it, then got distracted, probably by Clair Obscur.

I hear there's going to be new info on the upcoming Resident Evil game.
That's cool, but I feel like the only person left on the internet that likes going into games as blindly as possible lol.

Maybe one of these Spark things? I'm not sure, but I love the artwork from Super Mario Bros 2 (or Doki Doki Panic).

Just playing some MegaMan X tonight. It was the first game I played through on the SNES mini, and I only started playing it around 2018. It's becoming one of my favorite retro games and every playthrough is a joy.

Geez, even my video games are putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving.

I just finished Yakuza Kiwami 2 for the second time and this series makes me happier than any other game I can think of. Every time I play there's a new sub story that makes me smile, a Sega arcade game, or something else that just makes me happy. This might be my favorite game series of all time.

I always wondered how moving to digital would affect Gamestop long term, but I never imagined "Pawn shop for games" as an outcome.
"Let's see here... an iPad, a flat screen tv, and a laptop. I'm thinking $3.75 in store credit."

Apple has to be the only company that can get away with selling ports separately and no one thinks that's weird.

As I'm finishing games in my rotation, I'm adding new ones including Chrono Trigger. I've played it a lot, but for some reason or another I never finished it, so I'm aiming to do a full playthrough over the next few weeks.

There are some really over-the-top heat actions in Kiwami 2. I'm not going to share more because I don't want to ruin them, but they really went wild with these!

I really hope my AYN Thor ships soon, but in the meantime Retroid's clip-on screen is awesome even if it looks a little weird. Upscaled DS/3DS games look really good!

In my living room I have a Beelink mini PC. It boots Steam automatically, and Steam has a shortcut to the Kodi media player.
It rocks and gives me a lot of hope for the Steam-cube.
As a proof-of-concept I can tell you that this works very well.

One of my favorite aspects of Powerwash Simulator is how it likes to drop you into a nice looking place that's well maintained, but somehow there's just one thing in it that has inexplicably been neglected for generations.

I'm back on Lunar 2 tonight after putting it on hold. One of the dungeons is a slog with a boss that steals MP at the end. This isn't the first run I've put on hold because of it. At least with the remastered collection, battles can be sped up, and I just cleared that part, but it's grindy.

I picked up one of these and I was worried that My Arcade would use a low quality screen, or that it wouldn't run at full speed. To my surprise it runs Sonic 1&2 well, except for the sound. There is about a half second delay which is pretty noticeable. It's a nice idea poorly executed unfortunately.
