Home consoles were region locked based on physical barriers in the slots that would block a cartridge from a different region. You could just extract those barriers and the console could play any cartridge from any region, though. Handhelds had been different, though. Up to the DSi, you could buy a handheld cartridge from any country and it would plug in and play no problem.

OoT for me. FF7 is great, but I play OoT at least once a year. 7 I’ve only finished once.

DSi introduced region locking to Nintendo handhelds. I stopped buying them at that point. The next Nintendo system I bought was the switch, which was no longer region locked. The DSi kicked that off, so it might be my least favorite.

Favorite hardware is a much tougher nut to crack. Could be my first console, n64, or my first gaming apparatus, the Gameboy Pocket. But the PSVR1 blew me away and made me a little less into flat games. The PS5 has everything I love from PS4 onward (and does VR), and the Steam deck streams my PS5 from bed while also playing pc, retro, and Xbox games and being a full on Linux machine.

I really enjoyed Ghostwire.

I hadn’t thought about having apps for to use in game mode.

Are there games exclusive to mobile that are worth having on deck?

Edit: (as in suggestions)

I’ve always thought roblox was dumb, but its kind of just a playground. Kids need a playground where their imaginations are free to grow and thy’re in control. Somewhere they can interact and learn how to socialize safely with other children. When i was a kid, that was a walk to the park with friends to kick a ball around, riding a bicycle somewhere, exploring, and working out some dumb activities to do… Honest question: how comfortable are you with the idea of just letting your kids go to the park by themselves for hours on end?

For better or worse, it seems like sandbox creativity games like roblox are filling that void for some kids. Not saying roblox is an answer to a problem, just that kids seem to be utilizing it as a playground where they get to be creative and in control. Not sure why I’m bringing this up. It’s just a thought that occurred to me recently.

It’s been known since before launch that it wouldn’t come with a display port cable. Not sure about the Bluetooth thing. I couldn’t say for sure, but I Imagine it probably says something in the item description and on the box itself.

Websites and articles that have nothing to do with search or Google have to be designed specifically for Google’s search algorithm. I think that’s pretty crazy.

Oh holy hell that’s a good idea. I’m not a citizen of EU, but I am currently a working resident. Would my name qualify for this?

Oh yeah the gameplay and the environments made me really want to get into it more than anything else. I just couldn’t figure out why I was doing all this stuff or why I’m supposed to care about some dead character who I never met.

Yeah, I added 2FA. I will try disabling it to see if anything changes.

It’s been a month since I’ve been able to post anything from my lemmy.world account using any app.

Without using any videos, explain to me what this is.

Sony was dumb for buying them when they did. Bungie was already kind of in a downward spiral and giving them all that funding just gave them a much nicer toilet for the flushing.

I bought destiny 2 and a bunch of the DLC last year to see what it was all about and it was just a confusing, miserable mess of an experience from start to finish. Well, assuming it was start to finish. I still don’t know where the start was or what the hell was going on. I felt dumb for buying it.

I’m not blocking ads, I’m just avoiding them.

Reddit investigator guy doesn’t want me to see those links either.

I’m surprised at how little I am actually interested in the switch 2 but for the prospect of more Metroid prime and Zelda.

What are you talking about? No one called the existence of Firefox into question.

Go to the librewolf shop and walk out in a rain coat.
