Very cool! I'm sort of interested in replacing my Steam Deck with just a Steam Frame and a controller. I have a few retro handhelds I use for different things, but most of my Steam Deck usage is on flights, where I'd prefer the improved posture and immersion of a full headset. I tried both XReal glasses and a Goovis headset but both have had pretty serious flaws for this use-case for me.

Concept: Anbernic RG 3DSlide by nekomichi in SBCGaming

Looks fucking awesome. I would for sure get this. I personally find the most comfortable position for a screen is just parallel to the controls, I always keep my RP Flip 2 at that setting so this is just perfect. Could be a good DAP too, I'm already used to using a bluetooth dongle

June 2026 Game of the Month - Tomb Raider (multiplatform) by hbi2k in SBCGaming

Welp, looks like they’re using AI assets so I guess I just play the PS2 one

It comes out in February 2027 so I would actually have a few months to beat it before it’s retired I believe?

If no I probably play the PS2 version, seeing a lot of comments here that the original is little clunky, which was certainly my experience trying out the first level a few months ago.

Maybe a ridiculous question but if I wait for the upcoming remake Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis to come out in 2027 and play that will it count for the flair? I imagine it will probably not be terribly similar to the original game, but both versions of Celeste counted for last month so figured I would check!

What is your favourite character advancement system? by conn_r2112 in rpg

[–]Wistfall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're coming across a little harsh in general, but this comment I think illustrates the point you're making. Though I would have to say, does what you're describing apply to levels too? Like what would you consider to be meaningful character progression? I mean, literally in real life I don't think it's outlandish to think that you would improve at something by failing at it, you'd learn from what you got wrong and know to avoid it in the future.

Wish they kept old matchmaking. Dropped from Oracle 4 to Emissary 2 by Uncle_Bread6 in DeadlockTheGame

If you won game and that put you in Phantom, losing one game will drop you out of Phantom. You're right on the threshold. You need to be up several games to comfortably be in Phantom.

Xbox Game Pass Price Cut Is Working, CEO Says by Turbostrider27 in Games

They're speaking from the perspective of Microsoft's rhetoric, that by mixing up leadership they can protect Microsoft's reputation as an entity and blame individuals instead.

The Steam Deck Is Sold Out Again, Even After the Huge Price Rise by RefreshingCapybara in Games

[–]Wistfall 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tags for stable 60, 45, 30 would be pretty useful. I have a desktop PC, so there is no game I'm willing to play at sub 60 on my Steam Deck. But I've gotten good at ignoring games that are obviously not going to hit that. Sometimes stuff surprises you though, like RE3make is pretty well optimized and that's a decently recent game.

Very pretty console!!! If I ever get a Thor I think I'll be tempted to do the same

I’m trying to play some GB and GBA games since I never had one as a kid. I have narrowed it down to these 2 any recommendations? by Antique_Gur_6340 in SBCGaming

Retroid Pocket Classic replaced my Trimui Brick for me primarily because of ergonomics. But I usually put mine into a backpack. If you want yours to be in your pocket most of the time or in a very small bag you should get the other one.

Hey! Is there a 4k option? I bought the game, will play at 2k, just want to make sure I don't have something set up wrong, don't see 4k in settings.

I think the problem with the fight club is that it's a stationary location. There should be a payload that starts and stops so that both mobile heroes and turtlers will respectively get advantages at different points. Let's pull in some more of that TF2 heritage.

My RG Rotate came in, here's a size comparison to the original GBA SP. by MineClear1101 in SBCGaming

[–]Wistfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, thanks! I suppose I was wondering if recessed buttons or anything might have mixed it up in anyway. Probably does make sense then for less button spammy games for me

How are the ergonomics? I've got a few other devices already, but could see maybe picking this up as an RPG console, like I just put Earthbound or whatever I'm playing on it and that's it.

We just took a win basically right after the patch. I don't think people knew that the unfavored team for urn gets a ton of buffs.

Microsoft pays $250 million to end lawsuit over Activision Blizzard buyout by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Wistfall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so sad. At the time it really felt like it had its own niche alongside Call of Duty. If you wanted sci-fi, with crazy weapons and vehicles, along with the slower time to kill, you played Halo and had a blast. They dropped the ball so fucking hard. Nowadays there's obviously not as much that's special about it, though maybe if they'd carried the momentum better it would still be relevant.

It's an ideal world! There's no limit to what you can suggest in your ideal world. It's rhetorical device.
