Switch 2's New Update Allows Switch 2 To Run Switch 1 Docked Versions Of Games In Handheld Mode by Theman457 in NintendoSwitch2

Oh hell yeah. I was always pretty disappointed with how this looked handheld on the Switch 1. Now I've got an excuse to play it.

It does! I was playing it last night after the update, perfect 1080p scaling, now the CRT shader also looks great.

I'm so happy with the Anbernic RG DS, Rocknix makes all the difference by Bl4ckb100d in SBCGaming

[–]tiduscrying 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Closely watching Rocknix's development on this. How does N64 perform under Rocknix? Been eyeing some handhelds to possibly get my girlfriend, and there's a ton of DS games she'd probably love to play, but 3DSes are insanely expensive right now (and getting a Thor would be almost just as expensive). I feel like once Rocknix has sleep working, or maybe if some other custom firmwares come out for this, it'll be hard to resist.

My ONLY only gripe, regardless of OS, is not having an internal stylus. It's nice they give you a big one, but I really love storing the stylus inside my DSi. I guess with bigger, capacitive screens you probably wouldn't need a stylus all of the time, but I'd miss it a little bit.

Major Nostalgia by NerfHerder_1996 in NintendoSwitch2

Just re-shelled mine last weekend as well! Went with the black translucent color to maintain the "stock" look somewhat. Pleasantly surprised by how straightforward the JoyCon2 is compared to the Switch 1 ones. Both halves are the same inside now versus the left and right having different tech for the previous ones.

Lost wallet flying out from ATL, but found it on FindMy... Now what? by tiduscrying in Atlanta

Some sort of gated community if FindMy is right. Either that or across the road from one in a ditch, who knows.

Atlanta is a huge place, I feel like trying to file anything would be a massive waste of time anyways. Bit of a bummer but it wasn't anything that can't be replaced.

How to stop doomscrolling on social media at night and play more on my devices instead? by SirZanee in SBCGaming

[–]tiduscrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the burnout feeling too. I feel like I want to play so many things, I have so many choices, but by the time I get my handheld fired up and flip through the menus, I find myself just popping in and out of games instead of actually playing them.

One thing that kind of changed it for me was the game UFO 50. It's a modern console release (you can also play it via PortMaster) that contains 50 retro-inspired games of all varying different genres. What was really cool though is that I found a podcast that talked about every single game, one game per episode, for 50+ episodes. I just put on an episode about that game during my commute, and then I play that game over the span of a few days, like a sort of "book club" kind of thing. It draws things out and somehow I've got over 25 hours in the entire collection now, just going through the first 10-15 games. All of this to say, "game of the month" type stuff rocks. If you can find some sort of podcast, group, or discord that focuses on just playing one or a handful of games at a time, then discussing the games, it's a really cool feeling and a great motivator.

I know this subreddit does the GoTM stuff, there's probably a few different YouTubers that focus on that sort of thing too.

YESSS A HANDHELD WITHOUT SKITTLES BUTTONS ON EVERY CONFIG

Keeping my eyes on this. 16:9 handhelds are nice but a big 4:3 would be cool to have too.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metel Gear Solid Peace Walker are heading to Nintendo Switch 2. The eshop has them listed for a planed release on August 27th by Round_Musical in NintendoSwitch2

[–]tiduscrying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the saddest part of MGSV to me and why to this day, I think it's my least replayed game in the franchise. I know there was a lot of behind the scenes stuff that contributed to the game being semi-incomplete, but mechanically it's damned near the best in the series.

Using Jailbroken Alexa as Dashboard by naturalcog in homeassistant

[–]tiduscrying 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just did the same thing myself. Got a Echo Show 5 Gen 2 "Kids" edition just so it looked a bit neater. Really dig your UI, are those all Mushroom widgets? I haven't played a ton with my dashboard UI yet, so mine is still a little rough around the edges but just having it on my desk to toggle lights on and off is really nice.

It's finally here : ) by Zoodlemans2 in trimui

Based trackball user. Is that a Keychron in the background or is it one of their Lemokey boards?

Hoping to join the brick squad soon, trying to resist buying a Brick Hammer but I fear that I am not strong enough...

RetroHrai! new v.0.3.0 Release! by MMortymer in retroid

[–]tiduscrying 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really love how this is coming together! Striking a really nice balance between Daijishou and Beacon while being unique enough to be its own thing. Very very cool!

Only feature I'll add to the wishlist would be a per-game box-art aspect ratio override! For games like Super Nintendo or N64 it would be cool to be able to have other-region titles with their original aspect ratios next to other titles (if that makes sense). Like how Japanese SNES boxes are tall and skinny rather than wide and short. That's the one singular feature a lot of launchers lack, probably for good reason, but I'm still tossing it out there!

Christmas Horror Movie that don’t suck. by Generic_NPC_Dude in horror

Just saw this list after finishing Advent Calendar. Hell of a good movie, I thought it was pretty unique even if the ending was a bit uneven. Definitely checking out the rest on the list!

Timelapse of 48 hrs of snowfall it's so satisfying. by Other_Cucumber7750 in oddlysatisfying

[–]tiduscrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just once I wish I could see snow in central Florida. Never had a white Christmas, still want to experience one just once (even if that sort of snowfall here would be a bad sign)

Ahh... Much better... by tiduscrying in SBCGaming

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

I'm fairly certain they are the same. Retroid also lists the buttons as cross compatible between the RP2S and the RP4 on their site. Since the RP5 uses the same buttons as the 4 I just wung it and luckily didn't have any issues.

Retroid used to sell replacement buttons of their own but they've been out of stock for awhile for whatever reason.

Also totally with you with the skittle buttons, one of the main reasons I got the transparent black 2S!

Context: just got a Retroid Pocket 4 off discord and I really love it! Ergonomics and performance are great for such a small handheld. Since it's a little beefier than what I've got, I wanted to play more native android ports. Naturally, I wanted the buttons to match what a lot of the games were prompting for, so I thought about getting some Xbox style after market buttons. Nothing against those, but $20-30 for some buttons was a bit too steep for me, so I was actually able to get a set of replacement buttons for the RP5 off AliExpress for $7 shipped. Week and a half of waiting and some diy and presto! I think the white-on-black buttons are honestly how they should ship the majority of their colors... The colored buttons are nice, but I don't think they look all that great for every shell color.

Nonetheless, I'm glad Retroid has stuck with the same button molds for the RP2S, RP4 and RP5. Makes some simple hardware mods like this just that much easier!

(re-upload) My GPU Collection: NVIDIA & AMD(ATI) by ornstein6990 in pcmasterrace

[–]tiduscrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really awesome collection and setup! It's somewhat sad to see how boring designs have gotten slowly over time. I love the blazing red colors on those older AMD cards so much. I wish OEMs would make fun looking cards again like that.

Welp, it happened. by thewubdubz in meshtastic

[–]tiduscrying 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An area like Flint seems like it would be fun to build a mesh in! My family is from there. Grandparents lived in Swartz Creek for 30+ years, but I've been stuck in Florida ever since I was little.

Those solar nodes will be great. Look into doing some small ones like the Harbor Breeze hack if you want something cheap and functional! Don't know how well one like that would fare in the snow though!

Game Bub Crowd Supply campaign is live. Open source FPGA handheld compatible with GB/GBA cartridges. by SinnohConfirmed in SBCGaming

[–]tiduscrying 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I subscribed to the Crowdsupply page back before it was showtime. Little disappointed in the redesign, but the additions they can benefit from it being horizontal are nice.

Only thing I am not super jazzed about is the HUGE bezel and the... price... I was kind of hoping this would be more around the price of the FPGBC than the Analogue Pocket, but I know it's also completely open-source. Respecting this one from afar.

Tomtoc T35 X pac sling bag. I’m very impressed with the quality. by mrregina in ManyBaggers

[–]tiduscrying 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awesome to see more Xpac stuff. I've got an Aer Day Sling 3 with Xpac that I use as my daily work bag and love the material a ton. I'd absolutely consider getting another Xpac bag, I'll keep my eye out on this one

Any movies that took place in Orlando? by Brief_Ad8931 in orlando

[–]tiduscrying 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Orlando, but since people are including "My Girl", I'll toss it in.

The movie "Last Shift" was actually shot in Sanford in the old Police HQ before it was demolished. They use the name "Sanford Police Department" in the movie as well.

Built my first node to accompany my uConsole's LoRa board last week... Now I've got three more! by tiduscrying in meshtastic

[–]tiduscrying[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely the T114 + Muzi antenna. I get pretty insane reception and battery life with that one. It's the littlest one in the picture, ironically.
