  • I’m playing Medabots: Kabuto for GBA. It’s a pretty fun although simple JRPG. It has a neat unit customization system, enjoyable story and great art/music.
    Combat is unique in a way that can be a bit annoying (you only have a partial control on who to target) but it’s something one can get used to and work around to some extent.

    I also installed The Sims 2 (Ultimate Collection, not the Legacy one) but I didn’t really spend much time playing it on the Deck (I usually default to my desktop playthrough). Based on a short test I did manage to do it seems to be working and controlling pretty well so that’s promising at least.

    Edit: I spent some time playing TS2 on the Deck. Beyond some short freezes when browsing through larger lists of content (clothing, furniture etc) the game runs really good, as expected. Unfortunately I don’t find the controls on Deck to be comfortable enough to keep going - basic keyboard and mouse setup is the way for me with this one.

  • I just started playing the original game two weeks ago or so and time management is pretty much my main complaint right now. It feels a little too close to (or even more punishing than) real life, where there’s barely any time to keep up with my character’s needs after coming back from work.
    It can be done though - I’m slowly getting used to how things work again and my sim has been leaving in a slightly better mood then before. Just need to get into a proper Sims mindset, I guess.




  • These petitions are limited in scope for a reason - this is a small initiative and the goal is to focus on one part of the market which started the whole thing (the initiative, not the software killing issue), as well as to limit the number of big companies that could be affected (the potential opposition).

    Sure, ideally this would expand on all software but you have to start somewhere, especially when you’re just a bunch of randos with little knowledge about law and no funds to turn it into a serious lobbying movement - one that could both get the political attention and was able to defend its stance from corporations.
