It’s how I ended up going with my 351V a while ago (this is prior to the current generation of handhelds) and it’s been perfect for what I’m playing on it.

Retro Game Corps is a good place to start when it comes to looking the the different retro handhelds. Reviews are detailed showing the limits of each device and often comparisons to other devices.

I split mine into a few categories:

  • Backlog
  • Playing
  • Multiplayer
  • Completed
  • Junk (Usually filler from bundles)

I only keep the playing list expanded and relatively small to avoid choice paralysis.

I found the better way to use Mastodon was to follow users/hashtags of interest and then filtering out most of the topics which produce ragebait. It means my feed isn’t as busy but I also get none of the ragebait.

Seems like for most people they would be better off cancelling most streaming services and only renewing for a month or two when enough new content is there rather than having multiple ongoing subscriptions.

They had the data, they just repeatedly ignored it since it didn’t tell them what they wanted to hear.

Until there is anything formal from Apple allowing alternative browser engines I’d wouldn’t really expect too many updates from Firefox on their custom engine project.

I felt this a bit too. I never played it back in the day so I was playing it fresh as each game released as part of the PC master collection. Playing Halo 1 without nostalgia googles is rough as that campaign has not aged well. It’s starts decent but then reusing the same levels made the second half a mediocre slog.

These reviews have been great. I never really considered looking into FPS games on the DS/3DS and you have now convinced me to try Bionicle Heroes.

For most people the Pokémon IP is a much bigger draw than a potentially better game though. Game Freak are in a position where due to the Pokémon IP they can release a game riddled with issues and still sell well.

I remember that achievement at times being such a pain but it was so worth it just to send the damn thing in to space!

I’ve started doing similar logging my games but not going as far as to write my own reviews.

It’s interesting looking back though a year and seeing what I played over a calendar year. Last year I tried Castlevania and Metroid for the first time and both series really pulled me in. This year seems to be the 3DS Fire Emblem games and Final Fantasy series (never played them before and now I’m up to FF7).
