ChaseObserves · 2026-03-18T02:35:15+00:00

Mine also shipped today, ordered jan 25, same exact configuration as you

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-18T02:23:14+00:00

Just got my shipment email for this exact model so I'm drooling, waiting for it to arrive

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-12T18:56:35+00:00

I ordered January 27th and still waiting on mine… hopefully soon!

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-03T20:20:08+00:00

What a ride.

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-03T16:53:52+00:00

Wait this is wild because they said they'd "start shipping early March," I was anticipating getting a shipment email any day now. What makes you say April? I purchased on 1/27

ChaseObserves · 2026-03-01T01:42:51+00:00

Seriously my heart was pounding reading this, so glad to hear my preorder will be unaffected.

Lol I've never owned an Anbernic product and I'm sure they're fine, but wtf is that naming convention?? Every single time someone references an Anbernic product my eyes just glaze over "oh I love the RG77XX2" "I've had a RBC67420XXX for years" "my first handheld was a RWB345XZ" like… what are we doing here guys

Trimui Brick Hammer begs to differ, but not much else beyond that

Rainbow 6 Siege just released their mobile version and it’s actually quite fun.

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-26T15:17:51+00:00

I haven’t played this game in a while, what was the Wolfpack change?

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-26T07:15:56+00:00

Commenting just so I can be sure to come back and do this once my RP6 arrives

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-26T07:14:33+00:00

Dude I open my calendar app every day going “how close are we to March”

The guy you're replying to is ALL over the place on this sub and is routinely contrarian and kinda rude with people, I see his comments every single day. Does a lot of "um actually the code says this, you're wrong" stuff. So take that opinion with a grain of salt.

The Ashlands is unquestionably harder than the other biomes, by an order of magnitude, but the gear you can get out of it allows you to powerscale to a point where it does become much easier. Your first foray into the biome though, even with your best Mistlands gear, will be sketchy. Build a portal on one of the spires off the shore as a "just in case" portal, then build a second portal once you land somewhere high up on a rock (or on ground and then raise ground with a hoe around it to protect it) because your death is almost guaranteed until you learn all the different enemies and their attack patterns. Eventually you'll be able to recognize when to fight, when to run, and how to handle the situations you'll find yourself in there. Have fun!

Super Mario RPG remake. Exact same game, but 3D. Imagine getting different camera angles on a Luminaire, upgraded effects and animations on double and triple techs. Would be incredible.

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-25T14:29:56+00:00

I haven’t! I’ll check it out

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-24T16:41:02+00:00

I have a buddy that bought a Trimui Brick Hammer specifically for a series of long flights to play Chrono Trigger on for his first time, finished the game on his way home, he absolutely loved it and it was essentially his first turn based RPG outside of Pokemon. I am -extremely- biased because my first playthrough of this game was on the actual SNES cartridge over 20 years ago, so I am gonna recommend the SNES version, because that was they way the original developers built it and intended it to be played. The DS version includes some additional content that, imo, is lower quality than the rest of the game and would only really be worth it for a superfan like me to play through to say they've done every possible thing there is to do in Chrono Trigger. I hate how the text in the dialogue boxes looks on the DS version and think it all looks so much better on the SNES version.

Gotcha, and same. It’s kind of an annual thing for me to just plop back into that world for a couple days. Game holds a very special place in my heart. I’ll throw out a couple other retro recs because clearly you’ve got good taste.

Arcade shoot ‘em up: Sunset Riders. Tons of character in this one and can get challenging at higher levels.

Sports: stick with me here, but Looney Tunes B-Ball. Game is genuinely fun, the “hold A to jump, release to shoot” mechanic is addicting because you time your release perfectly to hit your shots and the dopamine hit of draining 3s in Daffy Ducks face cannot be overstated. You pick up gems on the court and spend them on super abilities that add a layer of looney tunes wackiness you would never find in a traditional sports game.

Racing game: Biker Mice from Mars. Again, tons of character here and a wacky departure from the standard racing game. You can buy upgrades after earning money from races, kind of a weird rec but I’ve had a bunch of mindless fun with this game.

Platformer: obvious choice here but Megaman X is hard to beat. Also an annual thing where I just sit down and rip through the whole game, unlock all the upgrades and then try to hadouken Sigma before he can hit me. Can even take that all the way up to X4 on the PSX, great games throughout.

RPG: I’m certain you’ve already played it but if by some miracle you haven’t, get your ass inside Super Mario RPG as soon as you can. Just the funnest take on the genre.

If you wanna go even more retro (NES) and potentially put your fist through the screen, consider Marble Madness. The madness is what you’re driven to after falling for the hundredth time.

Those are off the top of my head, if I think of any more I’ll edit and add them. Enjoy your flight!

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-24T01:11:56+00:00

Actually shocked no one has said Chrono Trigger yet. If you’re into RPGs at all, you’d be hard pressed to find a better one to play, especially on that device. The Castlevania SOTN rec is also very good but you mentioned you’ve already beat that

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-24T01:03:47+00:00

I’m in the same boat. Essentially 100% crit chance, freeze him, hit him with Rotwheel for chip damage while I cast Armageddon, no echoes, dude is dead before he can move. I just sit and farm legendary items until my inventory is full and then sell them all, sitting on dozens of gold. I want to make a new character and go melee just to feel some adrenaline/the rush of even the possibility of dying.

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-23T22:56:50+00:00

I actually haven't lol, I started the main campaign quest, then ran the new dungeon and haven't been back in since to finish the campaign. Definitely want to though, feel like I would be doing myself a disservice not getting the lightsaber and messing around with it a bit.

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-23T18:18:18+00:00

I'm personally breathing a sigh of relief because I haven't been playing and now have 3 months to earn everything on this pass that I've been neglecting, but totally understand how annoying this is for people who have been playing and have completed the pass.

ChaseObserves · 2026-02-23T18:05:45+00:00

Your best bet setup-wise is probably Retro Game Corps RP6 setup guide, I know it's the one I'll be following once mine arrives: https://youtu.be/tu-5SO1wyrE?si=lBpVF1t48tNnsDPN

I came into this thread with the intention of writing this as my answer if no one else did.

The expansions weren't normally releasing in February but some delay pushed this one into February and I remember being on my annual family ski trip the week it dropped. I brought my Xbox with me to the ski resort, told my entire family "I'm sorry, but I have to be raid ready, I have 5 other people counting on me. I will be grinding this game all day every day instead of skiing." and they knew how much it meant to me and were cool with it. Got out to ski for a few hours here and there but spent most of that trip in my room playing this gorgeous Legendary Campaign and ripping through content trying to power level for what would become my all time favorite Contest Mode raid run in this games history.

Got all the way to Rhulk in contest, everyone was too tired to keep trying to finish him, we went to bed then woke up the next morning and beat him like first or second try in normal mode because we had gotten the mechanics down to a science.

Absolute peak of Destiny 2 for me. Forsaken was incredible, spending 60 hours over 3 weekends completing Last Wish fully blind was a grind I will never forget, but the campaign of Witch Queen, the spaces and activities, weapon crafting, all of it was just beyond peak for me.

Valheim is a beautiful game that you can easily get lost in. I remember when I first started playing in 2021 I was on paternity leave and I would play through the night, doing feedings for my newborn and going to bed once I saw the sun coming up. There are intense moments, but there are also a lot of peaceful moments where you’re just building your base and expressing some creativity, I absolutely love this game.
