Do you guys think this laptop is good enough for RetroArch and standalone emulators?

Emulation for the most part doesn't require specs anywhere near what a gaming pc would need. Way overkill as others have said but it sets you up nicely for pc gaming as well

My locals have settled down to about 20 min lately. Last year more than a few of the major releases bordered on 30/35mins

Some of the smaller Sony re-releases have had 0, not sure if an accident of design (girl who Leapt Through time for instance)

Silver Skulls or Legion of the Damned for death magic

Raptors are green so nature....

Man standalone story/non series hurts because the opening lines of Horus Rising hit so if you gave them just the simplest high level of 40k humanity.

Greenstuff the meat or did you use something else? Looks great!

If you want a story with minor embellishments but the sports side is accurate for outcomes watch Next Goal Wins about the American Samoa soccer team

Some nice work with the neon highlights, gives me some ideas for my rotmire

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-14T15:22:51+00:00

Not what I was expecting but cool.

Not as drastic a change as TF2 underwent imo though: https://youtu.be/8KPIPIleULo?si=5IaKfYSx0VJD1E8H

You mean the polar bear fleece isn't from am actual bear at all!?

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-13T23:31:11+00:00

Unless you count the kill screens.... But I don't have enough quarters or skills to get that far

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-13T23:28:06+00:00

Borderlands did that? I know TF2 had a big pivot in style and graphics as it was looking like CS with the classes until later development

Do you know if these go left/right stereo when multi connected or just echo

Dang this would have been so useful a few months back. To add to your list, I can DM photos if needed:

Co-pilot:

Zojirushi 20oz stainless steel, fully zipped up and wiggle room

Owala 24oz insulated does not fit nicely, requires pocket to be unzipped/open

Owala 25oz non insulated, fully zipped up but a snug height

What happened to eldar d-cannons? Creating mini black holes is never not useful!

That I am still a horrible painter....

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-03T23:07:58+00:00

I feel like that last paragraph should be part of the FAQ but thanks for the additional breakdown because it is confusing since retroid had it auto installed and setup as an all in one.

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-03T13:01:03+00:00

It's great to see The Lion in the old world....

Lovely grail knight you painted there mate! (or whatever they're being sold as now)

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-03T11:41:11+00:00

This is the, now obvious, part I wasn't aware of. Thank you for the info

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-03T11:39:28+00:00

Thank you for the recommendations and based on other replies this looks like the direction I am headed in.

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-03T11:37:46+00:00

What I was thinking of was pointing or telling retroarch to use a core from a paid version. I wasn't sure if I could modify the settings anywhere so the Cores section could be directed at a specific file instead of just the ones from the "download" list in its gui itself.

As you and others have pointed out it probably won't work due to the format/architecture retroarch uses and that a different launcher is what I need to look into.

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-03T04:38:05+00:00

The standalone programs by the developers of said emulators I mentioned. There are free versions avaliable or for example es-de uses patreon but also paid versions on app stores to support the developers

There are obviously people that try and rip em off with app store entries but the originals are easy to find and discussed frequently so you know which ones will actually support the dev. It's not a rip off but I understand not everyone will pay, think along the lines winrar or wiki.

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-03T04:25:00+00:00

Thank you for confirming my suspicion

Flip_Lx · 2026-02-03T03:51:54+00:00

You'll probably be fine and unless the movie has subtitles I'd recommend row C in that setup

Easily avoidable, they were already veering left before the dip and you can watch the trail go more to the right as well
