For that device I personally would focus more on SNES and GameBoy gaming (up to Advance), so I’ll just mention a couple of my favourites.

SNES:

• Chrono Trigger > One of the best JRPGs ever. If never played before, well worth giving this a try.
• Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars > Sooo much fun, easy to burn hours.

GameBoy:

• Pokemon Red/Blue/Green > Original Pokemon series, if you love it you love it.
• Pokemon Yellow > The Special Pikachu Edition has Pikachu following you around, its cute, and the one I would recommend personally out of the originals.
• WarioLand 2 > One of my favourite platformers on the GB.
• GameBoy Gallery 2 > Contains old Game and Watch games but with a (at the time) modern take on them + the original versions. I’ve wasted hours beyond hours playing modern Fire.

GameBoy Color:

• Pokemon Gold/Silver > It’s Pokemon lol
• Swiv > Kind of forgotten title, but really fun scrolling shooter (I think this the best way to describe it)

GameBoy Advance:

• Pokemon Fire Red > An updated version of the original Pokemon Red. If it’s your first time playing any of the originals, I would say try this one as it feels more modern to play due to the updated pixel art.

Souls like games are pretty much always far superior on controller imo over m+kb. M+kb just feels janky for me in souls likes

Had to double check the date on the article, but yeah it was today. Animgraph 2 already left beta, the update went live about a week ago and has received 1 or 2 updates since.

Been playing it for the last week on Ubuntu and since the weekend on the 26.04 release without issue. Movement feels much closer to CSGO, and the third person animations look much better now, so much easier to pick the counter strafe on the enemy.

I also agree with the general sentiment of the playbase currently. Animgraph 2 is how CS2 should have launched

I thought that guy was a Dragoon from FFXIV. The armour, the stance, even the lance weapon and how it’s being held lol

Opt in? Great!

Makes sense Canonical would be looking at supporting AI on the desktop due to their vision of enterprise use. But as I said on another post yesterday or the day before, as long as it’s opt-in rather than opt-out, I personally don’t have an issue

This is going to be all about how they implement it imo. There was a specific line in that article “for those who want it”, if they go for an opt-in approach which only then installs the AI capabilities, then yeah okay I don’t mind as an end-user.

If however Canonical implement AI into Ubuntu without being opt-in, then I’m out and never turning back.

Hahaha just finished watching, that was great! Thanks for sharing 😊

2min 5second battery life… totally worth it! Lol

Ah good point!

Yeah I’m leaning towards the IPS instead of the OLED. Can’t wait to get Pokemon Yellow cranking on this thing again 😄

This is what I originally had in mind! I might do case too if I can find a Kiwi Color especially! I already have one original Kiwi Color, but I would love to have a second but with this screen.

Did you consider the OLED option?

Thanks for the heads up! I wouldn’t be looking for an OLED for the Pocket though, I would only consider for the Color. But I do like the idea about the battery regardless, thanks!

Thanks! I’ll check out your blog 😊 I didn’t consider OLED displays, but that would definitely be cool!

I thought about this too, but this is actually a secondary one. I also have a Kiwi coloured GameBoy Color put away which is staying exactly how it is

I’m actually super disappointed I couldn’t find the other THPS and Crash titles! I knew I had them growing up, but they must have just got lost over the years I guess.

So when I found all these games again, I was actually looking to see if I still had my copies of FF8 and any of the Oddworld games. I was super surprised when I came across the rest haha

It potentially may have been my last one as well. I got it a bit after the PS2 launched (I never owned one, and kept playing my PS1 instead during high school).

I don’t have much other memory of that game other than just cruising around haha

Ah awesome! That would have been my next guess with the Black Metal clue haha

Yep exactly on both!

Nice spot on the Cashies sticker haha. I was going to clean the sticker off the case but I decided to leave it there as it reminds me of that day 😊

Maybe for ‘beginner friendly’ Arch distros in the future? It’s like the only use case I can think of

Haha Norwegian?

I had a black metal phase during school years and years ago haha

I think it took like 18 months to get through it

Damn, now that’s some effort 😄
