What about, handheld console that uses floppy discs?

(sorry, that last toot was a partially formed shoved my-phone-into-my-pocket toot. It's gone now, and won't bother you again)

LB sadly I'm not going to be able to pick up FM radio from Slovenia, but I think this is damn cool

#PSP #RetroGaming people, how do you feel about the slidey thumbstick? 🎮

@rootcompute oh no 😕 that sucks 😞.

@Hundstrasse@retro.pizza avatar

@rootcompute yeah, I was going to ask if it's possible to repair. I've never tried any PSP maintenance.

Steam Deck is a great emulation system though! 😁

@rootcompute recipe for my signature move of ".. oh, I'll just open this up and...* TTWAANNGGG!! .. bits everywhere 😅

Try to remember to post pics if you ever get around to it, would like to know what's going on in there.

@buru5 on-screen gamepads are cursed

@orbitalmartian but... But... It's the only handheld with an optical drive!! 😱

@ch1pset I think the 'resistance' feels off. Could be my fine motor control, but the force to move it away from the mid position tends to just push it to a limit when I use it 😅

@semiramis eeeep! I'm really worried about how many people have mentioned drift now 😳

I often think about the donkey sitting alone in the club from the 'Lone Digger' MV

Do you think the limited edition MGS Peace Walker Walkman is still available? 😶

Oh yeah, I've moved onto Peace Walker now

@dinosaurgerms I was about to be all like "Dang, that planet is full of fire!"... And then I realised that OUR planet is full of fire.

It's a title screen that works on multiple levels... 😶

@dinosaurgerms I know so little about top down shootemups it's embarrassing! (Except for once falling in love with a Capcom car cocktail unit of one of the 1940 something games) Like, is there lore to this? Is there a plot? The bosses are so elaborate I kind of feel like someone must've spent a long time thinking about it all.

After Metal Gear Acid 2, I wanted something a bit less brain for my #PSP #RetroGaming times, so threw in SSX on Tour which I picked recently.

I was kind of expecting just a straight port attempt, but it's a weird hybrid which has so far only featured courses from SSX3. The slimmed down control scheme is fine, but they stuck with the generic "build your own player" with very limited customisation. Kind of wish they'd gone back to specific characters like in 3.

Just watched the credits roll on Metal Gear Acid 2 on #PSP. Definitely preferred the first one, I think no. 2 somehow diluted the gameplay. Chain linked cards always seemed to catch me off guard, and whilst upgrades for cards is a sensible Idea, it just seemed to make deck sorting kind of hard work. Didn't really mix it up for the whole game. Still enjoyed it though! #RetroGaming

CW: Metal Gear Acid 2 ending spoilers

@troublewithwords I thought that they were both enjoyable. The turn based combined with cards and deck building works really well, especially as a handheld title.

Wait?? Is Labyrinth Zone a perfect analogy for my job?

  • slow to make progress
  • often getting dragged in directions that I don't want to
  • I can often see hazards coming slowly towards me, but unable to do anything about it.
  • sustained by periodic bubbles (of coffee)
  • an elusive boss that I just can't seem to catch?

(I actually get on well with my boss)

Intentionally going to the flea market on my bike without the milk crate on the back so I forcibly limit how much dumb shit I can bring home

@trixter kind of assumed that you'd have also managed to find panniers in the flea market! 😅

Idea: we all get one extra day off a year and in exchange, that's the only day that apps are allowed to have a "How are you finding this app?" Pop-up.

I finished #Firewatch. I was right the last time: it took only about 20 more minutes to see the credits roll.
Sadly, that also only left me with the big reveal. I'm...maybe disappointed? I don't know. Everything resolves nicely, but I can't help but think that playing the whole thing in one or two longer sittings would have made it hit harder.
I basically ended the game the last time with one big puzzle piece and found the smaller second piece today. 😕

@mforester I remember enjoying it, but I can't really remember anything about the plot now 😅. It was a while ago.

Creators of Metal Gear Acid 2: " oh yeah, and we're going to have a 3D mode with a special cardboard 3D viewer for it"

"Okkkkay.... Why?"

"So we can include 3D videos of bikini clad models of course... That are completely unrelated to the actual game"

"....."

I always forget that Metal Gear games are like this. 😕
