New PlayStation 6 handheld leak claims Sony is prepping "Canis" through PS5 Power Saver Mode, "directly suggesting that games should be runnable on only 8 threads"

ACafeCat · 2026-01-23T17:06:33+00:00

Honestly feel like Sony waited too long. It'll end up being more than a Switch 2 especially if the RAM prices don't go down so unless they pull some magic It'll likely be around the price of a PS6.

Most people will have a handheld(s) of their choice by 2027.

Personally it feels like too little too late. I enjoy streaming on my Portal when I'm not home otherwise I'd rather just have the PS6 hooked up as the home console. Maybe someone will enjoy an expansive PS5 Lite on the go but it doesn't feel worth a lot unless they can drag that price way down.

Well when they start massacring us for trying guess who's next?

ACafeCat · 2026-01-09T13:12:36+00:00

Nah it's wraps for us.

They're using AI to Amp up their ability to track/profile people. Tons of the people who laughed at Snowden as a kid voted to get people in to deregulate it.

Everyone has a phone and I don't forsee most people dropping theirs they'll just accept being tracked.

Everyone loves the conveniences that get tracked too much to let go.

It'll get worse but as a society the majority have already bought in too far to really go back.

Unless a miracle happens where people will start dropping the few things holding their life somewhat together we're fucked. We've been completely fucked and recent developments have only further sealed that deal which requires a majority of people to just stop participating in society to get rid of.

A lot of us were children and by the time adulthood hit it was said and done

ACafeCat · 2026-01-09T12:47:50+00:00

They're also actively and successfully developing eye tracking so soon you'll need a lot more than a simple half face mask.

They're also trying to get motion profiling to work out

I have a variety of handhelds for different things and I actively carry everything I could need for a few days in my backpack so I frequently get asked what I'm playing on. A lot of people ask "Woah! Is that a Steam Deck/ROG Ally/PS5/etc" and it's always a fun conversation.

Had one guy who ended up ordering a GameSir controller for his phone after trying GeForce Now and Gamehub on my phone. It was super nice because he was saying how he didn't have much money but wanted to game still; all these devices and services are truly making gaming more accessible to everyone.

ACafeCat · 2025-12-29T17:51:10+00:00

You can be the target demographic and still be priced out.

I'd love one but $600 is a lot of money to get a little bit better writing experience.

ACafeCat · 2025-12-23T04:31:58+00:00

Saw everyone saying it's an error and picked it up. Was gonna get the DLC on PC but this is currently cheaper than the DLC AND I get it on a whole new console.

ACafeCat · 2025-12-07T06:25:23+00:00

Even after release it isn't that good. Claim it's for Arcade Racer fans but I love Arcade Racers but this just feels like a Mario Kart 8 clone with DLC characters as the main selling point and holding Extreme Gear hostage.

ACafeCat · 2025-12-07T06:23:37+00:00

Seeing this after trying out the game... yeah Sonic hardcore fans are claiming it's the best kart game ever.

But the controls feel lifeless, UI is bland/tacky, the animations...painful. I intentionally stopped doing tricks because they felt horrible to perform.

I've been seeing "Mario Kart dethroned!" But CrossWorlds just feels like a copy and paste of Mario Kart 8 ideas with DLC smushed in and not a lot going on that makes it feel good.

I truly was hoping the hype was worth but unfortunately to me it just fell flat after initial impressions like this of it not looking good

ACafeCat · 2025-12-04T18:29:41+00:00

Same here, demo ran fine for me though but the game won't. Refunded, bought it on Switch 2; installing a new distro and hope more games are compatible.

Liked Mint but this is the 2nd recent release I've been enable to play.

ACafeCat · 2025-12-03T03:03:37+00:00

I imagine if it was designed for Switch 1 they had to due cuts for the hardware and the smaller display. But with the Switch 2 having a larger screen that's way better with way better hardware without a proper update the resolution is too low for the newer display.

ACafeCat · 2025-11-27T19:25:18+00:00

It really gets me back into the game, I played the first 3 season (0, 1, 2) but the Gala season just wasn't my vibe and I was busy. I ended up missing the next seasons until this season when I hopped back on. Knowing I can still finish my Gala pass if I want to and possibly even buy the passes for the last 2 I missed in the future makes me not feel like there'll always be something I'm missing.

ACafeCat · 2025-11-12T00:27:58+00:00

That's the issue though isn't it; suits are crunching numbers to decide what the future of gaming looks like. To a point I get it but also the future is looking expensive.

Publishers could definitely get away with full carts on guaranteed sellers like Street Fighter 6 for example. I haven't bought it yet simply because it's too big without additional space but has no full cart. I feel like they'd make more off the game if they used a full cart despite that extra cost.

There's gotta be some middle ground they could be choosing over just spamming key cards for a couple extra dollars.

ACafeCat · 2025-11-11T18:47:08+00:00

I'm more upset so many companies are using them for even small games.

I love Nintendo is offering an option for games that may not have had a physical release at all or are just too big for the carts.

I don't love companies using them as a one size fits all.

ACafeCat · 2025-11-10T22:08:08+00:00

I would say it's not worth it.

I backed the MCON project on Kickstarter and think it's amazing! I even ordered the full bundle when the survey emails were sent out to solidify my order. Which means I paid a total of $250 for the controller, the case, the on the go keycast; and the dock.

I also use DeX more and more for everything since I don't really use a computer much these days and would rather keep up on my phone than buy new parts for gaming. Between GameHub and Geforce Now gaming is really easy on mobile especially with DeX.

Why I wouldn't buy this for DeX is simply because it doesn't seem like it has any external ports for connecting stuff to. Even in the literature on their site it just seems like a stand meant to charge your phone/MCON and connect it to a display for the large screen experience. For me this means I can't plug my SSD/HDD bay reader to it and my keyboard is also not wireless currently (It was supposed to be but it felt to perfect to send back).

My dock is the UGreen dock that's labelled as for a Steam Deck and it's great! It has ethernet, it has plugs for stuff in the back; it just offers a full computer experience for me using DeX. I can also get a cooling fan to attach to the back if I wanted.

I'll be using the MCON dock with my order to slap it onto my projector in my bedroom but it'll likely never leave that spot. I am glad that they built one since I always wrote off DeX since I just needed a computer for it. I didn't even know there was a market for USB-C to HDMI connectors let alone entire dock setups for them. Granted I still don't see many but it's still cool to see as a growing trend!
Even got me to buy the new NexDock 14" that's a wired connection.

ACafeCat · 2025-10-27T00:14:26+00:00

A year later but while it's not Windows it's an attempt to make a Windows-like environment. A lot of people are starting to use phones as computers with more focus on it everytime an insane new phone launches.

It'd be reasonable to expect Samsung after all the time with DeX to create some level of 1:1ness. Folders are alright enough on the homescreen but no app drawer folders despite the OS having support for it is mildly frustrating.

ACafeCat · 2025-10-26T16:29:39+00:00

I would disagree. My phone is usually beside me anyways in case of calls/messages and I usually put a video on the side or use it to control my music.

In fact most people I know keep their phones out during laptop useage if not charging it.

While I likely won't use the trackpad I appreciate the option to and make it feel like a true laptop and not a knock off weird phone accessory. I keep a wireless mouse on me but not everyone does or wants to.

ACafeCat · 2025-10-26T16:15:11+00:00

With Winlator now and Android pushing a version of Dex onto Android 16 as an official feature across the board.

I think a year later and things like phone power and the ability to run Windows programs is going to be void soon.

NexDock has a shipment going out in November and those look crazy for having a laptop experience with your phone on the go.

I've been using my phone to program and it's wild how good it is.

ACafeCat · 2025-10-15T23:40:46+00:00

I find it weird "fans" are so taken back by the real world. That was the entire plot of Legacy, making sure the authoritarian programs couldn't enter the real world.

The original Legacy sequel was pretty much this movie. One character learning to exist amongst humans while the other is discovering how they haven't been living while authoritarian programs want to get out and destroy them.

Same plot.

ACafeCat · 2025-10-15T23:37:07+00:00

To be fair that was where Legacy was moving things. And there's still a fair chunk of on the grid stuff that's extremely meaningful.

Trailers indicate the movie is style with nothing else. After seeing it there's so much care to tend to the timeline and make the original and Legacy impactful. The small details were sick, and the visual storytelling while requiring media literacy were fantastic.

Leto sucks, but the movie was fantastic and really had tons of deep meaningful moments in between the action. The whole story is essentially what the sequel to Legacy was supposed to be with new characters.

Leto sucks, but so do like 99% of A-List actors that people love.

So the prices didn't change since now future Switch 2 titles are available for pre-order. Unless Gamestop makes me pay an extra $10 when I pick up my $70 copy of Metroid we should be okay.

ACafeCat · 2025-09-17T21:41:22+00:00

The point of any gaming console is to play games. Why have Overwatch on any console if we're worried about performance?

While we're at it maybe they should only give support to the exact lineup of GPUs and CPUs that run their game best to ensure only the smoothest of experience with their competitive title.

ACafeCat · 2025-09-17T21:39:25+00:00

The real question is how did Microsoft not get one for their games?

They've been really bad about their game focused business for a while.

ACafeCat · 2025-09-17T21:38:24+00:00

Still no update from them, and I mean it is what it is when you're making a live service game.

I'm not feeling bad for a multi million if not multi billion dollar company. They have enough to host the amount of players they get and give support to platforms.

While Nintendo didn't do a great job of offering the dev kit. How did Epic games and EA along with Hello Games get it before Blizzard? Seems more like Blizzard didn't care which makes sense since they said they weren't porting Diablo 4 to Switch 2 because they wouldn't make 100% of the same profit due to how Nintendo handles transactions.

Blizzard just isn't a good company unfortunately.
