I’ve been replaying Dragon Quest 8 (PS2) on my Steam Deck, and it just fills me with joy. Except for the absolutely bonkers choices they hardcoded for buttons and camera movement. Ah, good times.

I’ve been suspicious that newer production lines for joysticks have been cutting costs in cheaper materials for a while now. I usually replace the joysticks when they drift, but I’m also quite comfortable to taking things apart and fixing them.
I remember my old PS2 controllers never drifted and that was back when I played hard on them every day after school. These days I hardly have time to play during the week, and they regularly go bad within a year or two.
What a horrible parry input!
I only care if the new guy gives me back the content I paid for when the game first came out.
Would’ve loved if Horizon Zero Dawn on PC came with a manual I could read while it compiled shaders…
I built one of these a couple weekends back and have been blissfully extracting ROMs from my cartridge collection since then. I love it so much, and it’s a really solid design!
Thank you. Obviously “we would buy them if we could” is given; but just as obviously, this was just wishful thinking out loud.
No more than it was before the DLC release, no.
Wasn’t PoE exactly this, but for Diablo 3? Apparently the Diablo series just spawns community-built competitors each generation now?
I work at a company which doesn’t make games, but interacts with a lot of game devs, and employs a lot of ex-game devs; and everyone I work with is either glad they got out of game dev or glad they skipped it altogether.
I used to work for a very reasonable (smaller) game studio, and while it was fun, I still got a massive pay and quality-of-life improvement by changing careers away from making games.
I hate that feeling of knowing I need to do something and wanting to start, but actually doing it is like my body and mind are weighed down by concrete.
If not experiencing those things would dramatically make your life better, might go see a psychiatrist about evaluation?
I’m with you for 3DS. Vita was kind of a dead gen for me at the time—what are some of your favorites?
