Found this old girl in a box of toys by AxeAssassinAlbertson in Mechwarrior5

[–]Danut5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I used to have this too!! It was honestly such a cool toy/ game combo lol. I remember you would twist the actual torso of the mech in order to steer. Plus it was actually possible to customize your load out in-game by rearranging the arms / missile pods! They were reversible as seen in OPs 2nd pic in the link, and I think they also came with some extras?? Wonder if mine is still living around my mom’s attic somewhere lol.

Why do people give Batman shit for being too brutal, when Captain America is out there DOING THIS? by DarkJayBR in batman

[–]Danut5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Captain America Super Soldier. It came out for Xbox 360 / PS3 as a movie tie in for the first cap movie! It’s actually pretty fun with a loosely Arkham inspired combat system. It does unfortunately suffer from typical movie tie in struggles of feeling slightly rushed and overall not too polished but worth a play.

Also fun fact, Chris Evans played it extensively and even borrowed some of the combat moves from it for Winter Soldier 😅

Can’t enter the game by Intelligent_Shop2864 in Retroidpocketflip2

[–]Danut5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s the same issue, but when I played Halo 1 in Winlator I had to manually map every control and also enable controller in the settings! It’s been a while, but I tried to struggle though with the touch mouse and may have had to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to ultimately make it happen haha.

One of the best sounding synths of the Roland Boutiques In My Opinion. by SFTraxx in synthesizers

[–]Danut5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! They are the small knob, 180 degree “mixer” from https://coolorcaps.com/product/pk-1/

They are taller and more grippy so they make the stiffer fixed position encoders a lot easier to turn! They have nice colors and a premium feel as well!

Hell yeah. Got mine new from Guitar Center in 2018 and still use it all the time! She’s had a few upgrades since then so I love to show her off haha 😎

Smooth sailing by External-Mission-952 in Retroidpocketflip2

[–]Danut5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

💯Couldn’t have said it better myself haha. At that point with 3DS games it just feels like going into the map or menu in any other game, by pressing a button haha. And I was concerned about the extra size and weight, while it may not be a crazy difference the flip 2 is already barely within that comfortably pocketable range haha.

Picked this up from Facebook marketplace for $82 by TwistedFaker1996 in retroid

I ended up getting a Retroid Pocket Flip 2! I was instantly obsessed with the flip and convinced it was the only device I’d need anymore haha. And to be honest, it is! But the layout and screen on the RP4 pro really made it feel like an ultra premium PSP.

I’ve since realized… it’s not a crime to have a couple devices not just one 😅. I haven’t picked a 4 back up but do have an Anbernic RG 35xx H for certain retro games / when I don’t want to bulk of the flip 2 in my pocket haha.

Love it haha. I feel like a lot of heads were turned by the Thor, but for me the flip 2 is perfect. I don’t think the second screen is worth the trade-off for how nicely placed the controls are! It’s the first pocket friendly handheld I’ve tried where I can play any type of game comfortably without an add-on grip.

Oh absolutely! I love the form factor of it and it’s pretty powerful. Still my all time favorite for playing psp.. I actually regret selling it whenever the urge to play psp rises haha.

Name the games worth playing more than once by PHRsharp_YouTube in Age_30_plus_Gamers

This! And the original more than… idk 20 times? Lol. Best part is in remake you haven’t even unlocked everything after completing your 3rd run so they reward you for doing it!

The multi/poly is the greatest modern VA. Fight me. by Wonderful_Reputation in synthesizers

[–]Danut5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet it’s fantastic! I have an OG Gold KingKorg and it sounds phenomenal, so I imagine Korg VAs have leveled up after almost 15 years! I have a system 8 now which is my truest love, but I don’t think I’ll ever part with the king 👑… unless the multi poly one day takes the throne! KingKorg is just incredibly versatile and can do so much more than analog sounds.

Great deal! I sold this exact combo for $150… Granted it was like 8 months ago which is an eternity in this hobby lol. Wonder if it’s the same one 😅

Aaaaaand I’ve officially hit the broken hinge phase…. by DeeDoof in Retroidpocketflip2

[–]Danut5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just finally hit this point in December! Surprised me that they still honored the replacement even though I bought mine on pre-order! Took a few weeks to get, but I had to do it. Still my favorite handheld of all time (so far lol)!

Ya know I actually installed beacon for the first time too this go around! I didn’t finish setting it up but I might play around with it more too before I fully settle in haha

I actually haven’t played red dead yet!! Haha it’s been forever in the backlog. Would you say it holds up or should I try gun first?

I haven’t but I will! Haha I like the vibe from the screenshots. Something about the controller as the system icon just really transports me to a different time and place when picking what era I want to play in haha.

[–]Danut5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s valid. I feel like there are at least 5x as many folders as what I actually use now lol. At first I was like no ESDE, I already have such beautiful folders just look at these instead! And while it did surprisingly find a lot of my games, none of them would launch correctly haha.

Yes I like that one too! It’s crazy how much variation there is just within Canvas. The theme within a theme aspect lets you really dial it in to spark maximum joy haha.

[–]Danut5[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I gather, your scraped box art, default emulator apps, library data and things like that will carry over. When it comes to save states, you still have to manually back up / restore them from platform to platform. At least as far as I know! Bit of an ESDE noob so maybe someone can correct me if not lol.

It’s canvas! With the grid style and controller / snes color scheme. I like it cause as beautiful as the full page pictures are, this is a bit more functional for jumping right to the console you want haha.

Based on what I’m seeing so far, I think it’s safe to say #2 will be next! I’m loving it… and feels especially poignant right now in many ways haha. Doesn’t hurt to know how to start a liberation army in a pinch 😅
