GameXData

Btw, if you’d like to see me post more frequently about general tech thoughts, I’m over on the other app. (I’ll still try to cross post video links here though.) bsky.app/profile/gamexd…

Our latest video focuses on Hori's fun but polarizing Steam-branded controller. If not for some small quibbles, it'd be a great Steam Deck companion. Link: youtu.be/yiI231DOpAE

This week on GameXData: Surprise! The Wii U's still useful. Video link: youtu.be/oRdMvp4bH4g

I'm convinced that folks who complain about telescopic controllers having Bluetooth only options only use boring smartphones.

Dusting off a classic for B-roll today

Ngl, Anbernic's controller looks a lot like the two dozen other full-sized controller's I've turned down reviewing in the past year.

@stareanddream It honestly might be the quirkiest controller I've used since the Steam controller. It's so cool

@_GameXData I WANT ONE SO BADDDDDDD

Glad I took the time to learn to read Japanese

It's always funny getting comments on videos that someone paid me to make a review. If I actually got paid more than ad revenue for my work, y'all would've definitely seen me cover dual screen laptops or more handheld PCs already.

In this week's video, Mobapad claims they made better joy con substitutes than Hori. Did they follow though? Here's the link to check it out: youtu.be/SoZy0UKbhrI

A chaotic red box arrived yesterday

Doing some gaming comparisons for a video. Who do you think will win, the new hotness or the old cult classic?

Super happy to see more affordable FPGA hardware. I feel like $160 kit is a lot easier for folks to stomach than the previously cheapest desktop option ($300+ Analogue Pocket + Dock combo)

I feel like this is a very tangible reason why disc drives are important on consoles

I love how all the articles about Horizon Zero Dawn's price change leave out that it's still really easy to buy discs for under $20 on the secondhand market.

AAA game performance definitely isn’t perfect on iPhone, but I really hope more ports come in the future. Having more than just gacha games to push mobile performance feels like something mobile gaming needs to move forward

New week. New handheld. We decided to pick up an iPhone (largely as a camera), and I've been testing out games and whatnot. For some things, it's surprising how far iOS is behind Android

Seeing the progress of Cemu on Android really makes me hope for more quality dual screen Android devices in the future

@jn0053 Yep! The button caps are held on with magnets and can be swapped on the fly. Probably a good thing since it's also a Switch controller.

@_GameXData i was gonna say I liked the design of the gamesir g8 but wish you could swap the buttons for nintendo layout, looked up the plus and sure enough you can lol

New week. New handheld. I recently bought a GameSir G8+ for a future project and I'm thrilled to see that it actually fits all my phones.

Fun fact: I set my TSP down for a week to test out a controller for this week's video. In that time, it's battery has drained from ~50% to 17% in standby. Considering how often I set handhelds down and forget about them for a bit, the good battery life's been really handy
