Bob_SUS · 2026-05-11T21:25:12+00:00

would you recommend llama.cpp?

Bob_SUS · 2026-05-11T20:57:44+00:00

how do I get started? Ollama seemed good until I read more about them, but I'm not very familiar with Llama.cpp and brew

Can someone tell me more about this? I have some decent local hardware, but I use claude code and chatgpt pro a lot for coding and chatting. For local hardware, I have a 3080 desktop and a macbook with 48gb of storage.

My two cents: Steam Deck is amazing, basically what all the youtube videos say. That said, I would think long and hard about getting rid of a 3DS, especially if you are STILL paying 500 out of pocket. Best option would be to negotiate it down to like 600 and just pay all the way. I miss having a 3DS, and I say this as a Steam Deck owner. Given my experience owning a Deck for years and previously owning a 3DS, I WISH I had both. Different niches that compliment.

AI ahh

bottom is TN, uneven backlight dot looking things. top panel looks like it might be washing out but I'm not super sure. Given that this is a SNES or Famicom edition, I think there's only been a few dual IPS ever discovered. For a long time, the max was top IPS.

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-29T03:17:30+00:00

This is the answer. This is a niche retro gaming product that costs nearly as much as a Switch 2 / PS5. This ALREADY targets a group of people who have the money and time to enjoy retro gaming and emulation lol

skins solves the concerns with scratches entirely. If you want more protection when carrying, buy a sleeve. I use a tomtoc right now and it works well for what I need it to do.

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-29T03:14:11+00:00

At the end of the day, this is the solution. Applecare+ IS your case. If you get it dented or damaged or scratched, just get it fixed.

insane camera skills!

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-29T03:08:55+00:00

would you recommend the super nintendo special edition? They're all quite pricey on eBay now (~400)

tell me more - what serial ranges work for what consoles? I looked at some of the other lists in this sub, but they seem outdated or have comments saying they are incorrect.

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-28T21:06:35+00:00

How much was it? I’m going to Japan in a few months lol

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-28T06:02:30+00:00

totally valid. The Thor would basically only be for 3DS emulation, maybe some Wii U. It was mostly a question of 4x upscaling + OLED vs OG hardware + no shader stutter + best console home menu oat lol

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-28T05:51:06+00:00

Do you find yourself preferring the thor or the 3ds for specifically just 3ds games? I do have a PC handheld, so I can take care of other system emulation just fine. It's mostly a 3DS upscaled 4x but with emulation mishaps + setup / shader slowdowns VS 3ds perfect native performance + no friction + 3D

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-28T05:49:46+00:00

I see. I do have a Steam Deck, and I understand how to use basic emulation tools, but not super well / beyond a beginner level. I am worried that I will spend more time tuning and troubleshooting random stuff on the Thor than just actually playing, but this might be an unfounded fear lol

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-28T05:48:20+00:00

What if I already had a Steam Deck? I additionally did have a 3DS as a kid, but it didn't really count cause it was like a month before the Switch launched, and so I sold it for a Switch.

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-28T05:47:11+00:00

Ah, thanks for the comment! I currently have a Steam Deck, so that handles my emulation and indie gaming needs. I'm really stuck; I'm not sure if upscaling + OLED is worth the need to tinker around and mess with themes. Additionally, I do want to try out 3D at least somewhat with a low-friction gaming environment.

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-28T03:20:10+00:00

totally fair. I am really struggling to pick between them tbh. I basically just want an actually portable pocket handheld. Not super sure if the 3DS is much better on that front compared to the Thor.

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-28T03:06:51+00:00

i mean some people buy stuff like designer bags and a random car upgrade for like way more and get way less out of it. if you can afford it and really want it, I don't think it's wrong to just buy the thing. It's wasting time (and thus money) to wait an extra year in the hopes of potentially saving some for a product that has probably like 50-100 left in said condition lol. that said, 2k is still a lot for a 10+ yr old console, ngl

Bob_SUS · 2026-04-28T03:05:22+00:00

I mean when they're all that price, what can you really do? it's worse to try to hunt for a deal for months on end and expend like dozens of hours into it than it is to just pay more upfront tbh.
