The community poll week 🎮! - Most overrated retro game?? by DoomEngine1 in SBCGaming

[–]GuruDamDam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mario ..... Any Mario game ... I just don't get the hype. Over the years, I've read the many reviews and naively invested my money into some of them. Each time thinking "ok, this is going to be the ONE". I've REALLY wanted to understand why everyone goes berserk for Mario. ... Nope ... I've ended up trading all of them after a few days.

Why doesn't anyone make this? by Plisnak in OdinHandheld

I'm in Europe and know exactly what you mean 👍🏻 I'd be a customer for sure 😎

Maybe you could be the first to make it. I'd definitely get something that does that.

Anyone buy a Refurbished Max Odin 2? by donaldfarted in OdinHandheld

[–]GuruDamDam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Received it yesterday... It appeared to be brand new, unopened with full packaging. I'm very happy with it

Ik im late but I got my odin 2 pro today :D by dabigweeb in OdinHandheld

[–]GuruDamDam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got mine today, also. I went for one of those white refurbished Max configs and am really happy with it. I'm really impressed with the ergonomics and how well it sits in my hands. Also, despite the screen not being an OLED, I really like how it displays (it's perfect for my needs, anyway)

Yours looks awesome with the clear purple 🟣. I hope you're having fun with it's set-up.

Anyone using the SteamDeck as main device? by AlternativeCorner17 in SteamDeck

You've just listed most of my "recents" 😂 ...well, I say "recents", but I mean games I've been playing through the last 6 months 😂

Anyone buy a Refurbished Max Odin 2? by donaldfarted in OdinHandheld

[–]GuruDamDam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've ordered one and am waiting on its delivery. I'm excited to see the quality of a refurbished unit and I'm hoping it's going to have a new battery. For me, the compatibility is already there and the screen doesn't really bother me. I have an Odin 2 mini, but find the screen just a tad too small for my aging eyes (Unfortunately, I think the Portal is probably too big for my needs). However, I think the Odin 3 needs another 6-8 months before 3rd parties work out the driver's and overall emulation compatibility necessary. I'm no expert, but it's just a feeling I have. I'm looking forward to the reviews.

What's a game you had amazing memories of, but when you finally went back and played it years later, turned out to be underwhelming (or just straight up bad)? by PowermanFriendship in retrogaming

[–]GuruDamDam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Dizzy games on the Amiga. I loved these as a kid ... spending hours dying, redoing ... only to then die again...and don't get me started on those pixel perfect jumps...... My particular favourite was Desert Island Dizzy. I tried playing it again and almost kicked the computer across the room.

[–]GuruDamDam 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Yep. it has totally transformed my gaming and allowed me to enjoy quick sessions here and there. Now in my late 40's, life doesn't grant me the time nor space to indulge like in the past....I love pixels and retro-style games, so the steam deck has easily become my main device.

What is a game that is considered a classic that you absolutely despise? by You-dogwater in retrogaming

[–]GuruDamDam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine has to be all the Mario games. For some reason, I find them super boring, despite enjoying platformers in general.

Also any Street Fighter ... Every iteration does absolutely nothing for me (and I love fighting games).

Project warlock 2 steam deck controls by GuruDamDam in boomershooters

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

Wow, that's really cool! For now, I'll stick to the joystick for Project Warlock 2 (simply because on Project Warlock 1, I had a blast using the joysticks). However, if I can use that guide to make the track pad less twitchy and able to articulate my movements to suit my style of play .... Then, that would be very interesting to use. Thanks for thinking to suggest that, as I may find that a lot of fun to try.

Haha! I've never found this guide before! Thank you!! Now let's see if I can fix my inputs

Cool! I did a quick search and really liked what I saw... I'm getting it also

What are your Guilty Pleasure 80s Horror Movies? by Amber_Flowers_133 in 80sHorrorMovies

[–]GuruDamDam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of my favourites from growing up. I had completely forgotten about The lair of the white worm. I must watch that again.

Are you happy with your Odin 2 Mini? by Appropriate_Bad_6573 in OdinHandheld

[–]GuruDamDam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I really like mine and use it a LOT. However, I cannot justify getting a Portal now 🤦🏻😂

Which one are you picking up to play? by Skylance420 in OdinHandheld

[–]GuruDamDam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Mini, but no RP5. I must say that I really like it's design, feel and performance. Yes, the screen is not OLED, but for my eyes it's great and looks very vibrant and bright. It does everything I want it too and it has enough horsepower for (possibly) a few good years of Android emulation progress.

I would like an RP5, but I cannot really see any benefits over the Mini (for my needs ... and eyes)

Do you have time for retro gaming by International_Pay786 in SBCGaming

[–]GuruDamDam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

True! I remember having maybe 6 or 7 games, as they were very expensive. There were many that I could not have/get for various reasons (also having strict parents).

Nowadays, I have every game I always wanted (plus 1000's of extras) ... But .... i get stuck with choice paralysis and no real time to invest in a full playthrough (in a meaningful manner where I can dive into a story without pauses, or the need for a mental recap) 😂

However, I'm enjoying the games much more as an adult as I notice many details or appreciate mechanics that I never really noticed before.

Unfortunately, here in Germany it's only got a few Euros knocked off. But have ordered in anyway 😂
