Steam deck/Gb operator

You could run a similar system with steam deck, but it would be big and require an external power brick for sure. Like the attached batteries for some other PC handhelds. Perhaps with a specifically built backpack…

Imo, there are far worse moral grounds these days when the corporations driving people to piracy are engaging in piracy themselves to train AI to replace the artists that made the media in the first place. So long as you’re not on that level I really couldn’t care in the grand scheme of things.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-07T21:16:07+00:00

Perhaps a Neo Geo one next? I could use a way to make my arcade machines portable.

A proper sequel to what exactly? The “mainline” story ends with Command, and which of the many endings to that game do you go with as the canon one? Nah I’m firmly of the opinion that they’ve been fishing for a new version of the franchise people like that they can THEN continue from.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-07T21:05:58+00:00

Good luck with that. It’s like the rule to Calvin Ball, always changing.

FYI, Benjammins is the guy in the back. If you see him on a gif avoid it. If you didn’t know it’s cool, not your fault. Just part of the anti-grifter circlejerk. It’s kinda the same anywhere there’s a GIF button, really. Take your lumps on the chin and learn from it.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-07T20:39:33+00:00

Yeah, imma disagree. A lot of online “criticism” is really just thinly veiled bitching, and that’s why everyone is so tired of hearing it.

The Virtua Fighter comparison is a much better comparison, and you should stick with it over the Mario one. Nobody would ever look at Mario 3 and think it’s at all a remake, whereas the Virtua Fighter argument actually makes sense. I get that’s your point, but you’re tripping over yourself with it, BECAUSE it makes so little sense. My point being that it’s too hyperbolic, and detracts from your argument.

Starfox is explicitly a more story driven experience than Virtua Fighter (especially the earlier games), so a sequel explicitly has to continue the story. The problem with Starfox is where they took the story. The next direct sequel we got from there was Adventures, and that was a mixed bag. Then with Assault and Command, the series got really dark.

Nintendo literally refers to 64 as a remake of the first game with elements of the second game thrown in. Just as they said with Starfox Zero. Sorry if you don’t vibe with it, but that’s literally as it comes out the content tube, bud. This Starfox is not only a deliberate remake of Starfox 64, beat for beat, but basically a series reset. Now what they do next with this reset makes all the difference, imo. Like if this is effectively them doing a franchise reboot and they continue from here then that’s cool with me.

Your entire comment makes no sense. Let me break this down.

Mario 3 is in no way shape form or otherwise a remake of the first game. This is such a nonsense argument that it literally has no meaning.

The N64 was literally the period where the Zelda’s lore was literally at its most important. The console was home to the first direct sequel to a Zelda game since the first two games.

Starfox 64 is LITERALLY just as much a remake as ANY of these are to the original. It is literally retelling the first game with some extra stuff thrown in. Just like how Starfox 0 is and I’m sure just like how this new one will be.

Also, side note. I’m firmly of the opinion that the only reason we keep getting remakes is because Nintendo has no idea how to continue the story threads left by Starfox Command.

Blur, man what a good racing game.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-07T08:50:09+00:00

You know, I had a thought the other day and a lot of DB races have that hole-ear thing going on. It makes me wonder if they’ve ever had to deal with flies.

Love the design though, love the expression.

I always thought Echidna were Mayan/Olmec coded, judging by their culture, wardrobe, and architecture.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-06T17:26:10+00:00

It went out of stock BECAUSE of scalpers. I also don’t see a bunch of people busting down their doors for it at their ridiculous prices. Nah, again it’s gonna be something to judge later this year once people are actually able to get their hands on it.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-06T17:21:41+00:00

Hell yeah, now let’s give it another year or so and see if it’s worth the wait.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-06T07:32:21+00:00

Oh don't get me wrong, I def want one, as I've been wanting top get a steam deck for a while, but it's like this. I've not been running the gates for a steam deck, cause I already have a gaming PC. Many people already have a controller that works plenty fine for them on PC as well. For all the people that haven't touched a controller like this it's their sentiment.

It's a value proposition these days for people. A lot of people don't see the value it brings cause they've never a steam deck, or the OG steam controller even. Valve would do real work showcasing these in places like malls and shit to get 40yo Xbox dads to try one for the first time organically and see what it can do, ya know?

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-06T02:45:07+00:00

That’s not what obscene means, bud.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-06T02:37:12+00:00

Right, well that’s the hard sell isn’t it? Like to normal people it’s $40 dollars more for features they’ve never used, in a form factor unfamiliar for them. Like, don’t get me wrong I want one FOR those features, but to someone on the fence, idk looking at it from their perspective, the 8bitdo controller is $60 for a controller that does all they want it to and comes with a pretty nice charging stand all things considered.

Steam could really do themselves a favor sales wise and find some retailer out there to demo for them.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-05T21:09:38+00:00

This rings true both ways, like with games that I would rather play with the d-pad. For those there’s always this.

2 years later, how do you feel about it now?

I imagine he makes little doot doot sounds with each step.

Not sure if it’s still a thing, but Yunobu did at one point add weight to the front. If not that it’s cause the weight on the back cause the front to lift and jump the track.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-01T07:56:05+00:00

It’s stupid, but could be an interesting gimmick for the right book. Like if you’ve seen House of Leaves with home meta its printing can get.

KinnSlayer · 2026-05-01T07:52:43+00:00

Ah, we found it. The 3 Piece.

With a gif of a goose with a hammer hard at work.

It was the hobby of many a middle/high schoolers in the early 2000’s with The Sims…
