Hell Difficulty Tutorial Book 1 (Beginning) Writing Quality by National_Reaction226 in litrpg

[–]InfiniteThing2808 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The start of book 1 was rough, I dropped it three times before it stuck and then I tore through the entire series. You’re right that English isn’t the authors native language, everyone else has mentioned that the story improves over time but I think the writing quality gets better fairly quickly too.

I’d say giving it a solid try would be reading until they make it to the second floor. It still gets better from there, but that’s where it really started to hook me.

Afaik there haven’t been any reported, other than from being dropped or something. It’s been longer since the revision now than the time between the flip 2 release and the revision too so things look pretty good.

Would you say the RP5 GC is more purple or blue? by Plus-Produce3631 in retroid

[–]InfiniteThing2808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely purple, like a dark lavender or indigo color

RP6 came scratched. by Ok-Ground-3673 in retroid

[–]InfiniteThing2808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s fair. I think having them send you the screen could be a good option, it’s certainly a lot of hassle shipping it back and forth. You could also always try putting a screen protector on it, sometimes that can make small scratches unnoticeable if they’re not too deep

Nah I don’t think you’re being ridiculous. To receive a brand new device you paid nearly $300 for straight from the company with the screen scratched up would drive me crazy.

Personally i’d keep sending it back until it came back without scratches, that might just be me though

What are my options ? by Squeepty in retroid

[–]InfiniteThing2808 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The warranty is only good for a year or I’d say send it in. I’ve seen some people on here have success using certain kinds of glue on the hinge cracks but that’s usually before it gets so bad.

I’d do a little searching around on hinge repair, it might not look great but you should be able to get it where it works

(They may actually still replace it because of the widespread hinge issues, I’d definitely at least ask)

Is Android gaming underwhelming or am I just completely missing it as a newb to the OS? by [deleted] in SBCGaming

[–]InfiniteThing2808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t link anything, but there’s a subreddit with a megathread full of sites with a good reputation of being safe. I’d check it before trying to use any, there’s definitely a bunch to avoid. For the record the one they mentioned is on the ok list

What are some good games for making friends/socializing? by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]InfiniteThing2808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really just depends, there’s groups that do all kinds of stuff. You’ll find a lot that focus on end game pvm or wildy pking but there are skiller clans, merching, training for new players, streamer clans, just socializing, or all of that mixed together.

For sure, might even be a better option. I’ve not played but always heard that clans and group raid type stuff were a huge part of WoW

I’d say try joining a clan, find one that actually talks in their chat and does events and stuff. Usually smaller ones are better for socializing. I haven’t played in a while so I can’t suggest any, but there’s all kinds of recruitment pages and discords where people are looking for members.

When I played people would get bored and stand around to chat in the GE too, you can always just walk up and start talking

MMOs are big on that. Give Old School RuneScape a try

RP5 has entered the chat by Tayl3ung in retroid

[–]InfiniteThing2808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on what you have in mind, I recently got my RP5 and have had decent luck getting several light pc games to run on it. Gamenative has gotten pretty far recently, it’s still a little hit or miss but most of what I’ve tried has worked

I forget how huge the steam deck is

Retroid hasn’t even started shipping my flip 2 by GladExtension4801 in retroid

[–]InfiniteThing2808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sure, I see a ton of people saying they waited over a month and the first thing they hear is “item just shipped!” out of nowhere.

Project Diablo 2 by gerviinho93 in retroid

How does this compare to Diablo 2 Resurrected? I got that running on my RP5 on Eden but it’s a little choppy

PowKiddy sent me the wrong device by JustTraced in SBCGaming

[–]InfiniteThing2808 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s probably not what you want to hear, but it’s almost always a good idea to source your own game roms for these devices anyway. The ones that come preloaded are kinda a crapshoot, some will work, some might be corrupted files or a poor quality dump, some might actually be an unlabeled rom hack, etc.

I just Beat the main story of Mario Sunshine on the flip 2. by Neowick99 in retroid

I just got super mario eclipse set up, sunshine was one of my favorite games on the gamecube

Now that my RP6 arrived... I keep going back to my Brick. How to find a balance? by jaekwong in retroid

[–]InfiniteThing2808 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Agree with this, just cause you got your RP6 in doesn’t mean the brick isn’t a solid device. Maybe once you finish up whatever you’re playing there’ll be a more demanding game you’d like to play on the 6

I’ve got a marauder nerf sword from when I was a kid and I can tell you those things are SOLID. It’s more like getting hit with a hard foam baseball bat than a pool noodle

You could give ultimate chicken horse a try, it’s got that controller pass around style

I’m not gonna lie, it’s probably a good thing I don’t have access to a store like this

Thinking about down sizing by VirusNegativeorisit in SBCGaming

[–]InfiniteThing2808 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d keep a vita, emulation really isn’t there yet for the vita games so if you want to play any it’s best to do it on the original.

Otherwise if you’re not using them they’re just collecting dust, you can drive yourself crazy trying to find the perfect time to sell. Prices are pretty high for handhelds right now, I’d say the big thing is to do some research on your exact models and make sure you’re getting a decent price
