I got my first party member in TotK. It's the bird kid. It's cool that Zelda party members are helpful now instead of being basically big rocks you have to carry around like in OoT or big rocks with very specific use cases where they're helpful like in Wind Waker.

Finished Wind Temple in TotK last night btw, it was badass It was on the scale of BotW dungeons rather than classic Zelda ones but the leadup to it where you're flying around the sky islands in the blizzard probably counted as part of the dungeon too, and the concept (fleet of ghost ships floating inside a giant storm cloud with a flying ice serpent imprisoned within) was metal as gently caress Probably gonna go check out the Hylian corner of the map now so I can visit those towns before I start hunting for another temple

Gotta say I really appreciate how this is the first Zelda game that actually does something interesting with Zelda's character (besides possibly Wind Waker) like, it actually appears to be giving her a legend

Real hurthling! posted:the first 6 months of parental leave fatherhood is the most productive gaming time you will ever have and then boom they can crawl off the baby pillow one day and its over Switch and Steam Deck combo has been a lifesaver for me this time around. Dunno what I would have done if I had a baby in the pre-Switch days. Fire Emblem replay?

It's true. The Switch feels tiny and frail after my oafish hands got used to the Deck The Deck thread recommended a grip for Switch usage post-Deck but I haven't felt the need to like spend money over it or anything

The Steam Deck is basically a copy of the Switch's form factor with better specs and a different (better) ecosystem (and, again, super hackable as it just runs Linux). It's a beefy boi but I have taken it traveling and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. It's a good machine op

Antonymous posted:steam deck battery life 1.5-2 hours Not sure what the person who measured this was doing on their Deck. I tried emulating Xenoblade 3 on it and it was chugging and whirring and gasping for breath and it lasted about that long; typical usage would be better

my bony fealty posted:Pro move is to take a road trip and have the SO do most of the driving while you plug that Deck into a power inverter and game battery-free I had a Sega Nomad as a kid and that motherfucker could chew through a pack of 6 AAs in like half an hour but it had a good long car adapter cord so I was all good

Buck Wildman posted:I've got two: a ZMI PowerPack 20000 and a Ravpower Turbo+. both are decently small and come with nice pouches that I just plunk into my backpack and can hold several hours of charge for quite awhile. just one's enough for most circumstances but I bring both if I'm on a super long flight or something Looks like the ZMI costs literally twice as much as the Ravpower (or Anker) equivalents. What's its advantage?

smarxist posted:what was the battery life on the Sega Nomad then like 180 seconds? Basically It came with an external battery pack because they literally could not fit enough batteries to make it usable inside the thing's chassis. I think they knew playing it plugged in was pretty much the only viable option

As an RPG fan who went from Genesis to N64 I was so starved for RPGs that I tried Beyond Oasis and Quest 64 and I really really wanted them to be good I ended up just buying a used SNES and a bunch of its games at funcoland

Blame Pyrrhus posted:Also, the GBA is still the superior portable gaming experience. When I flew all over the country for work (as in, flying between states 4 days a week every week for 2 years) I ended up playing through all of the great 1st party ports and various castlevanias for the first time in over a decade and the battery on that thing would last days of lengthy planerides. One time my GBA battery ran out while I was saving my game in FFTA

honestly saying to keep it under 40 bucks is pretty permissive if you're only getting indie or mid-level games (or games that are a few years old)

Most games I buy these days are indie titles and if I can I wait for a good deal. Now that I finally have my dream emulator setup I've been emulating a lot anyway (see: me talking about Dark Cloud 2 to nobody in particular for like two months)Mr Hootington posted:I paid $70 for the new final fantasy. Haven't been disappointed by the game yet.👍 Same with Zelda

My hot take is that I support Microsoft's forced updates because if you don't do poo poo like that people just won't update ever and then I'm stuck working on a website that has to still support IE8 in like 2018
