Broke down and bought Final Fantasy Resonance for the Switch. I hate Square for making me choose between a better Switch 2 version via a digital core or Switch on cart but with no upgrade path… but I’m a sucker I know.

I’m 30 hours into it and it’s my game of the year ;) I see people finishing FE and Trails and Onimusha in a week and moving on and I think to myself… it’s the journey that matter. Sending love to everyone balancing a job and a life and a love for videogames together.

Hi my name is Gnutella!! I’m looking for mutuals. I work in San Diego as a techie but I’m also a JRPG loving gal that is into gadgets and games but I shy away from politics and bs. Let’s be friends ;)

I’m back. I’ve been spending way too much time on X and forgot what a cesspool it is over there. Will be back and expect to post more on the friendly air of Bluesky

On a business trip and decided to travel with the PS Portal instead of the Steam Deck. I’m streaming not playing from my PS5 at home. Unplayable on airline WiFi (low ping means unplayable lag). Playable on decent hotel WiFi. SD is definitely better for traveling. Could use Chiaka I guess.

Here’s my year end hardware wrap up: Best New Device: Ayn Thor. Easy. HM to Switch 2. Most comfortable handheld: PS Portal. Light and ergonomic. HM to Steam Deck. Best old school retro: Retroid Classic (6 button). HM Retroid Pocket Flip 2 Best New game: Trails in the Sky 1st.

The 3DS may have the highest quality of games (on average) of any console. It would be close with NDS but there was a lot of shovelware on that… DS probably has the best games though.

One of the best things I’ve done for my mental health in the last year is to rediscover physical (as in paper) magazines. Chilling out and reading a magazine unplugged from the world is my yoga. Highly recommended. Any one else a physical magazine reader?

Rolling credits on Trails in the Sky the 1st with tears in my eyes. Game of the year. One of my favorite games ever. Thank-you to Famcom for remastering this and introducing it to the world again. So good.

I just got a Rog Asus Xbox Ally and I don’t see my Xbox games. Does anyone know how I download them? My main console is a series S and all of my games are digital.

Broke down and bought a Switch 2 today. All set up. It’s nice though I would prefer a 7” (OLED!) screen. It’s a bit too big. Looks great. Runs well. Fully compatible with my Switch games and saves. It’s not a huge difference tbh. Feels and looks quality.

Now that I’m 35 hours into Trails in the Sky 1st on my switch… a Citron patch has been released that fixes the sound issue and I can play it on my Retroid Pocket Flip 2. Do I start again..? The Switch OLED is nice but the Retroid is better…

Meh. Final Fantasy Tactics may not be for me. Finding it very unbalanced at Knight level. Not willing to move to easier level. Maybe I’m just a Fire Emblem girl :)

I’ve been playing so much on my Retroid Flip 2 that when I go back to Switch or SD they seem HUGE. Hopefully the AYN Thor will have enough juice that I can leave the big machines behind. We need better Android emulators though… especially PS2 / PS3 and Switch!

Wow. Speechless. Just finished Radiant Dawn (2007) (Fire Emblem). What a game. What a story. Played it back to back with Path of Radiance (2005) a 20 yo game. I am so thankful for the emulation community for making this possible. Remakes needed!!

So happy that I finally got around to transferring copies of FF Tactics Ivalice and Skies the 1st onto my Retroid Pocket Flip 2! I bought both at launch but I don’t like playing on the Switch and now I can play them on the go on the Flip 2! Getting my Ayn Thor soon so even better :)

Decided to buy Trails in the Sky 1st for Switch and to put aside my play-through on PSP at about 20 hours in. Will look for the ROM when it becomes available to play it on my Retroid 2 as well… but happy at the massive improvements done to the game by Famicom. Wonderful.

Seems like a lot if people are playing Trails today. Kudos to those folks that can afford full price games at launch. There’s another $10-15 on top for various DLC items too!

Hmmm… a friend of mine who would probably know told me that the next Steam Deck will run on ARM. Valve is apparently backing development of proton like translation for ARM chips. That’s why it’s being delayed ro 2028. Hope it’s true.

Tons of roms coming out over the next few months… OT 0 Trails 1st FF Tactics Ivalice DQ7R Am i missing something? Will definitely pick up retail copy of FFT and wait for sales on the others… all coming to Steam 😊

I’m playing SNES, DS, GBA, GC, Wii, WiiU, PSX and Switch games on my retroids and couldn’t be happier. I’ve rediscovered the fun that was gaming before it was ruined with service components.

Thinking of selling my steam deck. Ever since discovering the retro handheld world I’ve barely touched it. I prefer to play older retro games on my Retroids. The Pocket Flip 2 plays Switch roms well. And there’s Geforce Now for modern games… plus my PS5 and PS Portal…

Happy to add that there’s been no hate on my Bluesky feeds because I actively mute politics and political discussions. I don’t care who you voted for. I’m here to talk games :)

Just rolled credits onboard Fire Emblem Sacred Stones on GBA (played on Retroid Classic). What a great game! I will say it again, the new Fire Emblems (Three Houses and Engage) don’t hold a candle to these oldies. Trying to be Persona. Third FE finished this summer. On to FE: Blazing Blade!

Picked up Radiant Historia and absolutely loving it! There was a rerelease for 3DS (I’m playing DS version on Retroid Classic) but it is worthy of a modern HD2D re-release. Great concept and story-telling.
