Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

If this isn’t powerful enough for Citra, it’ll be useless, but it looks fun. Reminds me of the New 2DS in a good way!

AMD’s Ryzen 7 7840U

Yeah that's plenty for 3ds.

The handheld PC market has been booming. There’s so many cool products that have been coming out. Personally I’m sticking with more established companies like Steam, Asus, and Lenovo due to being able to get better support , but the creativity of these devices have been incredible to see.

My personal favorite has to be the GPD Win 4 Pro. Brings back the PSP nostalgia and it seems more pocketable than other ones. I’m buying the Lenovo Legion Go but if money was no factor I’d buy the GPD to take on the go.

What kind of games do these run?

[–] korewa@reddthat.com 24 points 2 years ago

7840u so it’s a generation ahead of steam deck and just shy of off the asus handheld performance

Ayaneo Flip DS

It's not even hiding it.

More seriously though, I always loved the form factor of the Nintendo DS (I'm still rocking a 3DS) and the dual-screen setup allowed for amazing and unique gameplays that you don't find anymore in today's games where the focus is more and more on 3D graphics. Try to watch a Kirby Canvas Curse playthrough and you'll get what I mean: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=006aQg2JIvI , it was also good as a Kanji learning tool for Japanese learners (see for example: https://2think.org/japan-ds.shtml).

I love how the 3DS can go fuck itself, when it's the actual DS successor lol

(Btw, currently replaying FE: Awakening)

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

And like the Nintendo DS Lite, it's gonna be cheap plastic at the hinge that will crack over time.

Kind looks interesting but also looks like ergonomics are absolute shit. I thought the switch was bad, this looks worse :(

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Good god the ergonomics on that look like shit.
