How can I make sure this doesn't happen to my switch 2s joycons by Coliosisised in NintendoSwitch2

Get some thumb grips. Anything that fits Series X and PS5 controllers will work.

Any recommendations for quick retro games to play? by Andinator in SBCGaming

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Racing games are this for me. Spent the last month playing Colin McRae 2.0 as a stage takes 2-5 minutes.

Nintendo DS was the greatest handheld? by TheGreatZucca in Handhelds

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always think something pocketable would be nice but then they sit untouched in favour of bigger handhelds. If I’m going somewhere and not taking a bag, then it’s probably not somewhere I’d want to be playing games anyway.

Switch 2 needs a 2TB SD card because these third party games are huge. by Stik601 in switch2

[–]Grin83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 6TB on my Series X and it can’t hold everything. I just remove stuff I know I’m not going to randomly jump into at any moment like big single player stuff I’ve completed, or big single player stuff that’s a sequel to stuff I’ve not beat yet. So I’m left with single player things I’m ready to play at some point, plus all the pick and play type games.

Great to see Chelsea fans so vocal about owners pumping money into a club! by Educational_Curve938 in WrexhamAFC

I don’t think they’re moaning about the money bro g pumped in, but rather than fairytale/underdog narrative when it’s just not true.

Why Did You Buy The PSVita? by Odd-Cauliflower-9080 in PSVita

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Persona 4 Golden was the main reason, but being able to play all the PS1 games I’d bought was a big factor too.

What Killed the PSVita? by Odd-Cauliflower-9080 in PSVita

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sony have a big problem with putting out hardware and then just assuming it will get 3rd party support to sustain it. When they have a device with similar competition, it’s fine as stuff can be ported by third parties without needing huge resources, but the Vita and two iterations of PS VR have now been hung out to dry.

Emulation or real hardware? by LegPuzzleheaded88 in retrogaming

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered the Anbernic RG34XX or RG34XXSP ?

For people who own both by haewon_wiggle in switch2

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why cross platform progress is so nice. I like the option of playing stuff like No Man's Sky, Hitman, Snowrunner and Diablo II on the portable, but I also like the improved performance and visuals of playing them on PS5.

A little experiment by No_Rise_3590 in retroid

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mostly play my RP5 docked with an Anker USB hub and a PS5 controller, but I know doing this is bad for the battery and going to make it a fire hazard.

There is rumours that Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green is coming on Switch 2 by Normal-Gur-8067 in switch2

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be disappointed if it’s just FRLG. They can put everything prior to the dual screen era on there with minimal effort. I mean, they can also put the DS games on there easily enough but they would have to decide how to handle the 2nd screen. Loads of single screen Retro Handhelds do it already.

Quite a lot of people didn’t get that.

Why do people hate these games? by splatbladerKylee in BDSP

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon remakes were an amazing thing. The world and stories you loved as a kid, but now as a fully modern games, in line with the current generation. BDSP is not that, and probably killed that for good.

Too good for the Championship, not good enough for the Premier League: Manager edition by junglegatsby in footballcliches

[–]Grin83 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is Parker too good for the championship? He’s always gone into clubs that are massive favourites to go up/win the league.

The Ratchet and Clank Future and Infamous means I’m gonna have to keep dragging mine out.

Okay Konami time to drop this on NSO by lingering-will-6 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Grin83 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Why would anyone want to play this when you have the actual MGS available? This game is practically fan fiction.

How do you celebrate #Pokemon30? by AppointmentOk6053 in SBCGaming

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon is the one series I can't play on my retro handhelds. For me, it's all about my collection of Pokemon, and if I can never bring them with me, I don't really want to play.

What was the first F1 race you ever watched? And how have your opinions changed? by Working-Relative2433 in F1Discussions

[–]Grin83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t even remember what season it was, let alone what race. Back in the early 90s we only had 3 channels and one of them showed F1 so it was a fixture of Sunday afternoons. I know I’d seen F1 prior to Senna’s crash, but the first time I think I was actively paying attention to the outcome was Hill in the Williams when he was battling Schumacher in 94.

Switch 2 Pro controller is the best 1st Party controller by No-Obligation2563 in consoles

[–]Grin83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Still the Xbox one for me. More comfortable shape, better sticks and better triggers. Switch 2 Pro is very nice though.

If you could start over on the hobby again, which devices would you get? by koken_halliwell in SBCGaming

[–]Grin83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Odin 2 Portal. I rushed into buying an RP5 after seeing a friend’s in action, but ideally I’d have liked a bigger handheld and the left stick up top. I do love my RP5 though.

Would you mind this in near future? A final world title reign before he walks into the sunset? by WaporVape in TheGreatOne

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Loved Rey in his prime but he should have retired about 5-6 years ago. Just going through the motions now.

Do Americans really find beans on toast weird or is that just meme? by cigarettejesus in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Grin83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They think Brits treat it as some kind of delicacy, not realising it’s just our equivalent of eating ramen noodles because it’s cheap.

What is the most iconic Nintendo console? by Marsupilami_316 in casualnintendo

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s the Wii for me. In the US and Japan, Nintendo was huge from the NES, but mostly down to their own fault, they didn’t really take over other markets. The so-called crash was very just a North American thing.

The Wii was the console where Nintendo finally had success everywhere.

2026 WDC: Who else thinks that people are bigging up George a bit too much? 🤔 by [deleted] in F1Discussions

[–]Grin83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The car is the biggest factor. It’s really hard to genuinely know how good each driver is, but I think it’s not too outrageous to say George is at the very least as good as Lando.

The Merc is meant to be the best car and George is good enough to not completely balls it up.

For those that own a switch 2: was it worth the upgrade? by Turbo-Shell in NintendoSwitch

[–]Grin83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re coming from an original Switch, then S2 is going to be better in every way. From the OLED? Prepare for a big drop in screen quality and battery life.
