I know Retroid are kind of the more “affordable” option, but after my RP3+ broke from just regular use and cheap parts, and them not helping me because of discontinued support for the device, I don’t really want to spend more money on them. At this point I’d probably rather save for a steamdeck, despite it being huge and clunky. Retroids recent items are just ugly as well, IMO.

I’ve been wondering this exact thing lately. I’ve got a retro handheld that is breaking because the company seems to have used cheap parts internally, and they no longer support repairs or selling the parts. After only a year of owning it, I feel pretty annoyed, so started looking at alternatives. Steam deck was one I was considering, but the price point means I’ll need to save for a while.

I played the Wii and the HD. Both many times, but I couldn’t tell you the difference other than the controls. Not sure if that says more about me, or the game…

The original Resident Evil 4 was, I believe, the first to change up the format from the fixed camera, among other things it shook up. RE4 and RE4R are very similar games, while the remakes of RE2 and RE3 are pretty different from their originals.

So why is it most viewed? What is it about the preview or marketing that is getting eyes on it? I’ve never heard of it, save for the banner I keep seeing on the app, but it didn’t seem that interesting so I scrolled by.

Which is itself based on a book.

So instead, they just… CGI’d dwarves? How is that any better?

I remember seeing promo or set photos of actual people that still didn’t seem much better.

Edit: Ah, this was the image.

I don’t think it was very challenging, but the game played without trying to collect everything is around 30 hours, which doesn’t seem short to me.

I really love the original movie - it’s one of my comfort movies, and ever since this was announced I thought a lot of the magic would be gone. The watercolour backgrounds just really work with the setting.

Stitch just looks like a CGI creature in a real world. I have a hard time believing that thing that I’m seeing exists in that environment, and that’s sorta what I figured would happen when they announced this.

It completely killed any narrative cohesion or pay-off by just ending. I remember thinking “it’s been a really long time… how are they going to wrap this up?”

Turns out the answer is “don’t wrap it up”. It truly makes me not recommend it - though I had other issues with it aside from just that absurd decision. Rewatch the first again, instead.

Wow, I just watched this for the first time yesterday. A fun movie - I really liked a lot of the effects and practical stuff!

I’ve only played FF7 for the first time recently. I’m in the process of playing FF8 right now and honestly, I care about the story and characters more in the latter. I don’t know if it’s an age thing, or having been spoiled for so long on FF7 plot beats but not FF8, or what. 8 seems to be striking more chords for me.

Don’t know, I’ve never watched Family Guy. It means it’s trying to pretend it has deeper meanings but just comes off as shallow and pretentious. It’s a film of “Anderson-isms” with nothing of substance to show.

Interesting perspective. I thought it was his most obnoxious film to date. It was a movie that insisted upon itself and quite frankly bored and confused me. It was like no one said no to Anderson to reign him in at all.

I got a retroid pocket 3+ for Christmas. Loaded it up with JRPGs, but this list seems like some fun games to play when I finish one so I don’t burn out on that genre. Thanks a lot!
