I'm feeling similarly. I want these GameBoy shaped devices to target up to the PS1 (2D games, at least, like SotN), and then maybe a SteamDeck or similar device.
As an update, I got my RG35XX+ working again. Not sure why, but I might have re-flashed the firmware incorrectly. So, it's back in the running.

I bought a Miyoo Mini Plus almost two years ago. Love it so much that I wish I'd bought a more expensive model with analog sticks.
Now I'm in the rabbit hole of salivating at all these fancy new handhelds on the market, but never actually buying another one because something better will be right around the corner. Holding out for the day someone gets SteamOS running in this form factor.

Miyoo Mini Plus review:
It has four shoulder buttons but they are difficult to use in its form factor, and the one speaker is covered during normal play.

Unfortunately, I also use my GPUs for machine learning (not gen ai! i simply specced too much time into software which only runs on CUDA) and blender (which prefers nvidia). I posted in games but I'm a poser of a poster

yeah don't expect to get an nvidia card for months. it's a paper launch, where they technically have cards available for purchase but are so under demand that almost no one can get one. it's not even a scalping problem really, it would be a problem even if they weren't around. the scalpers couldn't get them either.
there's been launches like this before, 2020 was notorious, but this is bad even by graphics card standards.
gamers nexus did a video about it. they can only guess about why nvidia even launched in this state, I think the most likely reason is that they didn't know what the tariff situation would be in a few months so they're getting as many cards as they can into market now, even if it's not nearly enough.

MP4 with time powers would be cool but I think I'd rather just have a good ass normal Metroid Prime game.

i would be more interested in rs if the levelling wasn't such a chore, but i think that's what makes it appealing to some people. i'd like to see the quests but i can't bear grinding for days to see them

yeah the business model for Codenames is you spend $5 on it once, which is kind of crazy for a long term service game but it's working out fine

Reply to six PC games to play in 1995 by hollyhoppet
I should try some of the older wizardries some time. 8 is one of my absolute favourite games of all time but I've never played any from before that!
maybe I will get round to it by next year, which of course is 1996

Woah, good list, thank u
Marvel Rivals is good because it runs on Linux and does not have kernel anti-cheat, but one guy makes portals which degrade performance from ~90FPS to ~2SPF on my machine.
"Codenames app" is something I would never have considered until your recommendation. Turns out their Privacy Policy (translated) appears to be pretty good. It's long because it's specific, not because it's horrific.
