It's actually kind of a drawback sometimes. Super Metroid for instance is pretty awkward to play since it's hard to hold B and press Y at the same time 😅
I have a decade old Buffalo famicom-style controller with ABXY just like in your photo, although mine is wired. I've opened it and adjusted the Dpad by partially covering the contacts with tape, and I swear it's the best Dpad I've ever used. I've also got an 8bitdo FC30 Pro but I rarely use it nowadays.
I haven't played my GameCube since it was current, but recently I installed the picoboot mod which lets me load games off of a microSD card. Haven't actually sat down to play anything yet but I've booted Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia just to confirm that it works 😎
Just wanted to say thanks for showing me Preserving Worlds. It's so, so good and I'm in the same seat as you now, considering buying the second season.
Keeping Lithium-ion batteries at 100% charge will reduce their lifespan. They want to live in the 40-80% range. I use an app that notifies me when my phone has charged to 80%, so that I can unplug it. It may be overkill, but I plan to use this phone for 9 more years or so.
How is Omega Strikers? I've had my eyes on it but it's not really my friends' type of game. I might play it on my own because I think it looks really cool.
Mother 1 is my favorite, it's got such a unique atmosphere. Some of my more recent favorites include the Valis series (bishoujo action platformers), and Monster World IV (action platformer with light RPG elements). I'm big on aesthetics and those games really appealed to me!
That sounds super cozy! I've always been a portable gamer main, so when the Grandia HD Collection was announced for the Switch, I literally cried tears of joy 😭
Oh that's nice. I finished one story path but never got around to doing the others. I find that I always prefer Tactics Ogre now that it's on the Switch too.
No reason to update, really. Afaik they haven't added any features of bugfixes for years. You can get rid of the annoying system update popups by deleting pending titles in FBI and disabling Wi-fi.
The original Etrian Odyssey on DS! The modern remakes just came out, but I don't agree with the price tag. I'm almost through the 3rd stratum and I'm having a blast.
