@Gryffin let the record show that I purchased a Pocket a couple of months ago as soon as the new batch went live. I'm expecting it in June.

I've been playing it up until this weekend, when I dropped it for good. The dungeon and puzzle design is obtuse and bad. And I reached a mini game where you need to mash A faster than capable by human hands. I'm not interested in games that waste my time. I'm pretty upset about it, actually, because I like the aesthetic and environment design. And the combat's not bad either. But it is not a good game, and there too many good games to play to waste my time on bad ones.

@Razieluigi thanks! yeah that's unfortunate. The peripheral you're referring to is the dock? I don't have any of their devices, but it does seem from the outside that they sure like to upsell fancy editions, as a priority. It's similar to comic publishers printing a dozen alternative covers for every given issues, which supposedly is how these companies maintain print. Also, didn't Analogue release an updated SKU of the Pocket, but it didn't actually improve that much?

@Razieluigi like what promises?

Please give us a new batch of Pockets, Analogue! Don't you want my money?

Speaking of good songs, you should be aware that the LittleBigPlanet theme song was not original, but in fact is by a band called The Go Team! They're incredible.

His current game appears to be PolyGunR. There's a trailer on his YouTube from GDC last year.

So do I need to power on the console? Do I need to run the game? For how long?

@Wezlypipz I understand the principle. My issue is with the phrasing. I find it unclear.

I've actually never understood this quote. Is it saying that a law enforceable only by fine is irrelevant to the wealthy because breaking the law has no effective consequence for them?

The Micro is my favorite platform

I'm getting an error when trying to install openbar on my phone. It says it's not compatible, which a Galaxy S23 FE. Anyone else run into this?

Ah, that makes sense. No worries. I'm just so anti emulation ethically that it didn't even occur to me

@Damo right. So then every game it's "compatible" with needs to have the exact button layout. Which is how many games?

So it interfaces by tapping the screen through/via the buttons, right? If so, doesn't the on-screen button interface needs to match up with the buttons? So any compatible game would need to have a matching layout, right? Or are the buttons just Bluetooth input.

@845H he might have been referring to RR7

@845H word

Ahem, the best Burnout actually turns 22 next month.

@Poodlestargenerica it wouldn't, I imagine. But I wonder if the sidecar could emulate it so you could, for example, trade Pokemon online.

If I had the sidecar and a GB Player, could I hypothetically play link cable Gameboy games online?

This is cool. Reminds me of that distracted driving texting game.

Oh gosh. I own this for GBA, but I've never gotten very far. A guide is essentially mandatory to ensure you don't waste your TP, and find all of the items. And the battles, I recall, are very long.

I still want one. A couple of the hypothetical games shown for it looked really fun.

Do you think I'd find an Amico hidden in an evil box in the attic? Because I want one

Easy question. Tears of the Kingdom.

Call me when a Zack and Wiki-inspired game is announced

Why is it that the score display and blocks eventually glitch out? Does anyone know where I can read about that?

Scourge: Hive! Does that mean we might get Racing Gears Advance too!? One of the best racing games ever made.

@Serpenterror has Tallarico left completely? Last I knew, he stepped down from being CEO to President.

There's not a chance in heck this company will survive, even if they do manage to launch the Amico. Regardless, I'm thinking of getting one.
