Just a little guy interested in videogames, reading, technology and the environment.
I’m on Telegram - feel free to ask for my details :3

I’m not sure about Vita, but there is a decent 3DS emulator (Citra). I haven’t tested MGS3 on it
What made you give up? It’s a very different game from the original of course. Graphically though it was beautiful I thought
Yeah true. 7 Remake (i.e. part 1) was good though and a decent length game in itself. Yes, it is a cash grab to milk one game like this. But at the same time if each part is an enjoyable game in itself, I don’t see the issue. I’ll wait for them to go on sale either way.
What was wrong with 7?
I like the sound of this! The Starfield coffee article was funny. $7 a month miiiight be a little bit much for me - but I’ll keep an eye on this and if the journalism is decent and they put out a fair number of articles I’ll definitely consider it. I guess I used to spend around that amount on gaming magazines…
Oh awesome, most of these were on my wishlist. The backlog grows yay!
Thanks, I got it working! Well all except the ragdoll mod because that requires you to have all the DLC :(
I’ll give those two a go! Looking into it, I think I’d need the following mods to get these to work, which isn’t too bad:
One thing I’m not sure about… I installed MO2 on my Deck using this guide which also installs NVSE. But how do I know what version of NVSE it installed? A few mods mention they need a particular version of NVSE.
Some of those look nice! I notice that a lot have pre-requisite mods, and those require their own pre-requisites 😱 I’ll see if I can find some easy to install ones
I’ve started a new playthrough of Fallout New Vegas. Never got round to finishing it last time, so hopefully will do now! So far I’ve added some stability mods and a new radio station. Anyone got any other mod recommendations?
I finished TOTK yesterday! What a great game. How do you think it compares to BOTW? At some points while playing it I felt like it didn’t have the same magic as BOTW (but that’s nothing wrong with the game itself, it’s just that BOTW was such a unique experience the first time I played it). But having finished TOTK, I can really appreciate how much they changed. The sky islands, depths and all the new ultrahand mechanics are perfect additions to the formula.
There aren’t many games that can release such a stunning trailer, and then live up to that hype.
I felt like a couple of the dungeons were a bit average - the Gerudo one in particular. The Divine Beasts were a lot more memorable in my opinion. Then again, each of TOTKs dungeons felt very distinct which was nice.
Overall though, easily one of the best games on Switch and I’d probably rank it on par with BOTW.
Yeah I guess that’s my take on ‘gamifying things’, but there’s probably a few different ways to do it. I’ve heard that in psychology, rewards are a lot more effective than punishments - so maybe frame it slightly differently. Personally I wouldn’t base things on how well you do in the game, because that could get frustrating - in the worst scenario you’ll already be annoyed at doing poorly in the game, and that’s followed by having to do more work. Instead I’d spin it, so if you do all the tidying reward yourself with an hour of gaming. If you get all your chores done, you get 2 hours of gaming etc.
I agree with what others have said about gamifying life. For example, ‘oh it’s 5pm, I need to spend 30 minutes doing some tidying before I can play a game again’. And for games with no clear end point, set yourself goals so you know when to take a break. ‘Once I’ve built this factory, I need to take an hour’s break before I can play again’.
If you like puzzles and open world games, have you tried The Witness? There are a lot of puzzles to complete so it should take you a while!
Not currently on sale on Steam, but it does drop in price regularly. Depending how you feel about key reselling sites, you might be able to get it cheaper.
The Vita version is flawless, I guess because it’s a native port rather than emulation. Emulation of certain PS2 games can be tricky due to the weird CPU architecture
From my testing a few months back, there was significant slow down in the cutscenes. Actual gameplay was fine. I have no idea why. I know that SteamOS 3.5 has a fix for a kernel issue that caused issues with SMT, so perhaps things are better now. Once 3.5 reaches stable I’ll test the games out again.
Weirdly enough, I’ve heard the opposite - that the first game is way better than the second 🤔
Unfortunately emulation isn’t all that great for these games on Deck. The PS2 versions are laggy. PS3 actually works a lot better than expected, although one of the final scenes in MGS3 has some slowdown. If this version can be fixed, it may be the best option for the deck. I’m definitely not paying the price they’re charging though.
It’s possible I saw it but just forgot, with the number of games currently on my radar. Hearing about it again has reignited my interest though! Will keep an eye on it
