I keep saying, go back and play some of the portable stuff, 3DS/PSP is kind of golden era. They are designed with tight constraints in mind due to hardware limitations, battery life, and the portable nature meaning you could set the game down at any moment to get on with your life. This is in stark contrast to a lot of modern games that hammer your attention and try to keep you constantly engaged.

I just spent a bunch of time on Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity (PSP) and Dragon Quest Monsters 2 (3DS). Both fan translations that I wouldn't have been able to play back in the day anyways. Just some bright and colorful distractions.

I just hate Adobe.

A tale of two consoles:

I own a 3ds and an analogue pocket. The 3ds battery lasted without faults for 14 years; the analogue pocket's developed a fault within 2.

Replacing the battery in the 3ds took 5 minutes and cost £15; it now works perfectly. Meanwhile, the analogue pocket would cost me over £100 and would require posting to the states.

It's not just the games, it's the damn hardware!

I am in the third act of Baldur's Gate (Dark Alliance, for the GBA) and I must say, it is more enjoyable than 007 Nightfire for the GBA.

TFW 2010s is already retro, I still enjoy my 3DS

I got my hands on an Anbernic RG35XXSP recently and I feel like I'm living a dream with this thing, I love it.

"Breathtaking" my eyes bleed from detail overload.

Yes! There's still a few servers up and that's probably the most popular map. But there's a few regular servers that cycle maps.

Still a great game, even single player, after 25 years it holds up.

Indie games are just killing it right now, so why bother with big studios.
