@carygolomb Check out Jack Move. It’s $6 right now. Awesome cyberpunk pixel art turn based RPG. I’ve been recommending it every chance I get. You can get through it in around 6 hours.

I have a vacation to Japan coming up and I'm installing games for the flight I have coming. I'm gonna do The Blue Prince via GamePass but other than that I don't know what else I should install from Steam. I need something that I can push to very low TDP.

@Arthrimus I’m sure you’re busy with the SVS (which looks awesome) but do you have any plans to restock the IFlash2PS2? Thanks!

@carygolomb Also doing Fri/Sat. If Nintendo is there I’m going to be sad to miss Thursday. Lines will be way shorter.

If Switch 2 is indeed coming out in May or June, seems like PAX East this year might be pretty awesome. I'm only going Fri/Sat. Anyone going Thursday as well?

I’m kind of surprised the Commodore 64 style, system in a keyboard form factor isn’t still around.

@carygolomb @AYANEO__ Arthur confirmed the LCD panel supports VRR so it’s likely the landscape Ally panel. OLED is portrait, I’m sure.

The new @AYANEO__ handheld has been announced. I'd love it if these were native landscape but likely they are native portrait. Also I have some benches showing big gains on HX370 on Bazzite and ways to tweak better performance out of the chip. Hoping AYANEO has open BIOS

@BobWulff As one of the four people interested in this device I was excited to see you cover it. Still can’t decide if I should actually buy one or wait for a Pocket 486.

@carygolomb It’s honestly kind of hard to believe that they didn’t know about the issue and shipped them anyway. Are we supposed to believe everyone involved in packing the boxes had no idea it was a problem?

I'm glad Retroid is making good on the issue but the *actual* real problem here is that this issue is PLAINLY visible from 10 feet away. The only logical conclusion is there literally is *no* quality assurance at all. And I get it, Retroid and AYN have insanely thin margins.
Retro Game Corps@RetroGameCorps

There has been a production error with the Retroid Pocket Mini orange color, they used the wrong color glass. Future shipments will be corrected, but for those whose device already shipped they are offering free exchange for white units, or $15 if you want to keep it as-is.

@ChristianSelig If you really want something indie focused and you don’t care about portability you can get a suitable Mini PC for under $400. For example; a.co/d/ax6D57v. They do go on sale so you might even find one for $300. At $800 I’d either build or go handheld.

PC people: if I wanted a PC for playing some not really demanding indie games (think more Stardew Valley than Cyberpunk), max budget $800 USD, what would you recommend? Build? A mini PC? Do PCs/parts go on sale for Black Friday?

@TakiUdon_ Getting a matching replacement shell at the same time would be perfect! Hope it works out.

It seems we have a 50% chance that the Mega Kit can include Extremerate shells. If so, we will have black, clear black, and atomic purple.

An OLED screen makes such a big difference, especially when it replaces a subpar TFT display. Here's a short clip of the SUPER5 OLED mod for the Switch Lite.

@DavidEtSI @iFixRetro Damn that is in really rough shape. Would be a challenge for me as well. Good luck. I hope you can restore it.

@virtudude @iFixRetro Fuck the seller. A japanese trash on Yahoo Auctions. I cleaned up everything but I need spares for potentiometers and check traces and eventually an ultrasonic bath . Surely reflow too. And damn I'm just a cap replacement soldering guy 😅

@DavidEtSI @iFixRetro Oh that’s unfortunate. I’d love to pick up an LT someday but they’re so impossible to find in decent shape.

@virtudude @iFixRetro And for your information, I received a piece of junk for my LT which will need a LOT of work before I'll try to inject any power in it. Basically the shielding was totally rusted, potentiometers are history ( totally decay from rust ). Capacitors have apparently not leaked.

@DavidEtSI @iFixRetro Nice! I ordered one for my TurboExpress and one for my Nomad. I am tempted to order more. 3 years was a long time to wait.

@TakiUdon_ Very excited for this. I’d like to do a reshell at the same time as the screen install. Any shells you recommend that you know fit well with the screen?

This screen is amazing! This is my first time using this OLED screen without random debug wires or having to tape it down. It's also my first time seeing the OCA panel in action. I have a bunch of battery life tests to do tomorrow and packing design.

I don't want to spend $900 to make a PS5 Pro Steam Machine running Bazzite. I'm sure the YouTube content machine wants it though
