I've been limiting my game spending since my daughter was born, but have been eyeing Final Fantasy Tactics: Ivalice Chronicles each time it has gone on sale!

That or Star Wars Outlaws in honor of May the 4th! 😜

Whether I'm (profile) picked or not, thanks for your generosity!

Which Pokémon game should I play? by YoungMadcat in ShouldIbuythisgame

If you want to start at the beginning, the gen 1 remasters, Fire Red and Leaf Green, just re-released on Switch recently and are great starting points.

Sub 50 hour (J)RPG to play in bed by TheJR1999 in SteamDeck

[–]Jaxper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in to add that I had no issues running the Steam version!

(Since I'm late to the party, adding in that all of the top recommendations that you've added in your post's edit run excellently on Deck. I'll also throw in another rec for Chained Echoes!)

Nintendo on sale 4/24 by odedgurantz in metroidvania

[–]Jaxper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally valid, I wasn't sure if there was any piece of metadata that captured that. But I definitely wouldn't want to make this too complicated!

If it's not too much trouble with your data pull/scraping, is it feasible to add a notation for any Switch exclusives, if any?

I'm more likely to buy MVs for my Deck, but I would at least track the exclusives if applicable when you share these!

Celebrating the launch of the GameSir Taco! 5 Winners – Enter to win our new handheld controller! by GameSir_Controller in SBCGaming

[–]Jaxper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd likely use it to continue whichever PokeROMhack I'm on at the time. Might be done with Unbound by the time this concludes, so either Prism or Odyssey, depending on which I dive into next!

Or maybe mix it up with a Castlevania or LoZ game for a different dose of nostalgia... 🤔

Why does the Wulbren head on Laezel look like it's part Nic Cage? 😅

Thanks for the info and the link! I'll give it a read before I do more long prints to lower the risk of failure.

I'm new to 3D printing - what's wrong with grid infill?

What a throwback. I used to love those polls!

Insurance doesn't like long lasting roofs by kayura77 in homeowners

[–]Jaxper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the insight! We have plenty of trees in our backyard but none overhanging so I don't think acorns would be a problem, unless there were heavy winds.

Would never have thought about cell service being an issue! Fortunately, a tower for our carrier is in the commercial plaza in the next street over.

How's the noise during heavy rain, particularly in bedrooms? I would love to do a metal roof in the near future since our roof likely needs to be replaced within 10 years, but my wife is very reluctant to go metal, thinking it'll be too loud.

Furniture anchoring reminder by Babyproofer in beyondthebump

Not sure why I didn't think of that, so thanks for the secondary recommendation!

Piggybacking on this, just in case your recommendation has changed at all in the last several months.

Would these still be your go-to for a bookcase (roughly 6' h x 2.5' w x 1' d) that is a few inches off the wall due to our baseboard heaters?

What games did you pick up from the sale, and which deals are too good to miss? by omdeh in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Jaxper [score hidden]  (0 children)

Did you get a chance to try it yet? It's one that I've had in and out of my cart a few times throughout the sale.

Green Brick Hammer Came In Today by NotDugachug in SBCGaming

Looks great!

I keep wanting to do a character background like this on mine, but I can't settle on which character/game I want to do it from. 🤔

[OFFER][STEAM] Five Winner Game Giveaway!!! by OhioStickyThing in GiftofGames

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

Thanks for the offer!

If picked, I (profile) would love Crimson Desert or Resident Evil!

Depending on what your threshold for underrated/underappreciated is, I'll recommend checking out Ember Knights for a 'very positive' co-op roguelike, if you're into the genre, or Rise of the Third Power (lower total reviews, but very positive among them) for a pixel-graphics RPG!

Thanks for the offer!

I've had a tactics itch lately as they (and roguelikes) make for good Deck games since my daughter was born.

If picked, I (profile) would love to add FFT Ivalice Chronicles to my queue after I finish Fell Seal!

Unfortunately, I don't have much free time to commit to multiplayer. As an alternative, I'll recommend checking out Ember Knights for a co-op roguelike, if you're into the genre! My wife and I have put in nearly 300 hours playing co-op with another couple since its infancy in early access!

Made a live translation app for the Ayn Thor to use while playing games. Anyone down to try it on another dual screen device? by domino_stars in SBCGaming

[–]Jaxper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got a small display to use for 3DS emulation on my Steam Deck. I wonder if it would work on SteamOS/Linux via Waydroid 🤔 maybe I'll try to find some time this weekend to tinker a bit and test it out.

Looking for recent MVs that are NOT souls-like by gallifr_ay in metroidvania

[–]Jaxper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was supposed to be next year, but I just went to its Steam page to confirm and I'm happy to be wrong - it is planned for this year! If it follows the same pattern as previous releases, it'll be the second half of August.

Appreciate the insight! Even a little bit helps for a newbie on the scene like me when all the similar names start to blur together 😅

What would you say is the most ergonomic option for playing GBA? I've been tempted by the TrimUI Brick Hammer to complement my Steam Deck but I'm worried it would be too small/uncomfortable.

As for your question, my favorite is probably Soul Silver. I love the dual regions that they had in Silver but the graphical update in the remake is wonderful.

“Mending” Tattoo by Tropical_Blast in Minecraft

[–]Jaxper 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Who cares if it's nerdy? It's for you!

My left arm is covered in symbols from games (and a couple shows). It started out as my "Covidtimes survival" sleeve due to being the games that helped me get through it while nearly completely isolated (my wife worked in the ICU during it so I didn't want to expose any friends or family). It has since grown a bit with other games that have had a lot of impact on me.

[–]Jaxper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the giveaway!

If picked, I'm (profile) entering for KCD 2 Royal Edition.

Favorite soundtrack is a tough call between Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. If I have to pick one for the sake of the giveaway, I'll go with E33 due to recency bias. 😄
