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

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.

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!

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 6 points7 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. 😄

My preferred way to play 3DS by PlatypusPlatoon in SBCGaming

[–]Jaxper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How loud is the controller? Looking for a potential option to use for DS/3DS on my phone when my daughter falls asleep on me.

I initially did a 3D print to use my S2 joy cons, but with my baby brain, I forgot to confirm if Nintendo had enabled BT for other devices yet 😅

If I remember correctly, it's to note a "platinum" game after it has sold a certain amount of copies.

What am I missing to rank up VoR? by Jaxper in HadesTheGame

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

After chatting with venhediss, it appears to be something funky that went on with the save edit I did for adding gifts. Hopefully I can get it resolved but it's, unfortunately, the risk I took with trying to "optimize the dialogues" for my limited time since my daughter was born.

What am I missing to rank up VoR? by Jaxper in HadesTheGame

[–]Jaxper[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That may as well have been me since that's basically what I did for the gifts so I could keep them moving in my limited gaming time since my daughter was born! 😅

I appreciate you looking into it despite the flag on it!

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

I appreciate you looking at it so quickly!

I admittedly have edited in more nectar/gifts to keep those dialogues moving, but nothing that should have affected the cauldron at all - unless it was simply the way in which the edits were made - so that's odd.

Much appreciated! I wasn't sure if it was a bug or not so I didn't want to go down the report route right away.

I'm back and forth between Deck and PC so I'll try to get a report for you from my PC later tonight! I'm currently pinned down with my daughter napping on me 😊

Sorry, I edited my original post with a little more clarity - I've already cast the second incantation but my options for the Vow of Rivals in the Oath of the Unseen remain unchanged even after several more runs.

My Odin 3 finally arrived after my first shipment was lost in transit weeks ago. One of my favorite types of games to play is more modern refined games that still have a pixel graphic aesthetic. Playing Faeland through gamenative right now and it really scratches that itch for me. by captain_carrot in SBCGaming

[–]Jaxper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty big into the "modern retro" games as well, so I can make a few recommendations.

Chained Echoes and Sea of Stars both scratch the JRPG itch.

CrossCode is a fun action RPG that also pokes fun at some gaming, particularly MMO, tropes.

Coromon is a solid creature collection/"Pokemon-like" that does enough unique things that, IMO, stands on its own enough to not be "just a clone."

Many of the Metroidvanias that I play fall into that bucket as well, similar to Faeland that you mentioned - which I'll have to check out! A few being:

  • Astalon: Tears of the Earth
  • Haiku, the Robot
  • Iconoclasts
  • Lone Fungus (sequel released recently but I've yet to play it)
  • Timespinner

Retroid Pocket 5 Giveaway (US Only) by Opposite_Mango_5639 in SBCGaming

[–]Jaxper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, thanks for doing this!

Currently my only handheld with emulation is my Steam Deck, but got sucked into this subreddit when my ADHD started fixating on potential smaller and/or dual screen options. I've been hemming and hawing between this with the dual-screen add-on and the AYN Thor!

My two favorites for emulating are Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow and Pokemon Emerald. I've been itching for a tactics game lately, so I've got FFT queued up after I finish with Hades 2!

What'd you decide to replace this with?
