This makes me want to be twenty years younger, just so I can go there on a bike, then pedal and walk my way through that. It’s vastly different looking than the Appalachians in my area, with its own unique beauty.
It really is beautiful there! You would also want to go in late summer as the snow tends to stick around at that elevation. This was taken the first week of August a few years ago and the snow is mostly gone.
I always thought that this game doesn’t get the recognition that it deserves. It should be held up as one of the best platformers of the '80s, but it tends to be forgotten.
Wish I had the time/energy to host this much… Currently I’m running
Plex
Nextcloud (snap on ubuntu VM because its easy)
pihole
pivpn
I’m also running Jellyfin and Navidrome, in an attempt to determine if they are good alternatives to Plex for like 6 months at this point. See comments above about time/energy.
How does this stack up in terms of processing power, versus other, similar handhelds like the AYANEO 2021 Pro?
I know it’s a far more expensive unit, but I’m wondering what the delta looks like… Does it even perform half as well? I’d love to pick something like this up, but I don’t want to regret the choice later, when it doesn’t play a handful of games I’d like to play.
Like not even close. This is like 5th generation consoles and no PC. Aya will emulate Switch and probably lots of PS3, and of course play PC games. Also it lacks a 3D joystick so there’s that.
What generation of games would this play? SNES? PS1? gamecube?
My metric right now is for something that can basically play all the Zelda games short of the Switch versions. If I can get anywhere close to that, then I’m probably going to be happy with it. I just kinda want to relive the days of LTTP and titles like FF6, possibly even ocarina of time and majora’a mask… pretty much all zelda titles short of Breath of the Wild.
being able to save some money with something like this would be nice too.
Just one follow up question: is it possible to connect an external controller to the unit? Perhaps one with a joystick? I have several that work on Bluetooth.
Both the RG35XX and the Miyoo mini are amazing devices for the price range, I greatly recomend watiching retro games corp video on them, basically they can run up to PS1 flawless and supports saves and save states, it’s the kinda of handheld you keep on yourself all the time to play when you’re bored or on a queue, not very comfortable for long play sessions. The RG os built like a tank and has real time clock for Pokémon games with a worse d pad, Miyoo don’t has the clock but has wifi for net play, OTA updates, better screen and dpad but tends to have some build quality issues.
I’m playing through the PSP exclusive God of War games right now, but typically I use it as my JRPG machine. I have many final fantasy games on it, as well as games like Persona 3+4.
The RG35XX is pretty great, nice color choice too! Looks like I need to update my GarlicOS, my games list is still centered with boxart in the background.
In order to do that you’ll need to first change your /CFW/skin/settings.json to have “text-alignment”: “left” and “text-margin”: 300 to shift your games list to the right. Next you’ll want to use a tool like Skraper to generate your images so it is transparency on the right where your games list is and put what you want to display on the left. You can use the image mixes provided from ebzero on Github or the 2 image mix with only the gameplay screenshot and box art that I’ve modified below and place the xml into the Mixes subdirectory of Skraper:
When you’ve decided what you want to use, find the Media Type option under the Media tab in Skraper and choose User Provided Mix and then you can select the custom xml file you want to use when running Skraper.
I think this article misses the mark pretty bad. Was it just an excuse to quote The Bard?
Anyway, I commented this elsewhere but will re-post here:
My take after a single watch is
spoilerI think it’s possible the entire construct of what was happening in black and white was not really happening at all, but just an invention of Jason Schwartzmann’s character to help him deal with the grief of losing his wife. Conversely, I think everything that happened in color was really happening. Interestingly this is a wild inversion of what’s presented on screen (where we’re supposed to believe that what’s happening in color is all a production being put on by actors and is NOT real, while the black and white stuff is what’s real. I’ve only seen it once, but I suspect there are really subtle hints to this peppered throughout. I believe the climax of the movie is when Jason Schwartzmann’s character “walks through the set” and ends up encountering his wife / “the actress who was supposed to play his wife”. That it began snowing afterwards is a strong visual Cue. This is literally just my take. I haven’t bothered reading any analysis. I probably won’t until I see it a few more times.
