@vvbudh @killyourfm I had the same experience with Steamdeck Elden Ring. It seems to have calmed down a bit now, but when I first got it a month ago I was have to restart it four or five times.

What is your gaming afterlife?Imagine that there's a quirk in the universe where after you die, you get to spend eternity re-living a particular period of your gaming life... you play the same games, you feel the way you felt, you know what you knew...What gaming period would you choose?#RetroGaming #Gaming

I'm torn between many periods... Xbox 360 times were amazing. World of Warcraft around 2005/6 was very nostalgic. The early 90s Amiga period was an exhilarating quest to find a decent Doom clone...But for me it would be 1986-1989 #Spectrum. I was 12-14 years old, graphics and sound didn't matter because my mind did the heavy-lifting. Everything was new, everything was cool. Finding someone who was also into Spectrums was like a giddy adventure...

@noim No hate for anyone's cherished gaming memories here! I have fond memories of the early days of Minecraft myself.

Remember when cheap, Chinese knock-off consoles were the weird things you saw in markets that were far more likely to catch on fire than provide a decent gaming experience?Well, erm, that seems to be no longer necessarily the case.This is the #MiyooMiniPlus, a Chinese #Linux powered handheld that runs #RetroArch to emulate up to PS1 era games.And it is so well done! The unit feels sturdy, the emulation is mostly solid and the screen is brilliant! #RetroGaming

Second #MiyooMini game complete is #Castlevania Circle of the Moon. I'd made the mistake of playing Aria of Sorrow (the best #GBA CV game) first, so was reluctant to go back to this. I remember getting it on GBA launch day and it being unplayable due to the screen. Shame, because it's pretty good. Kind of halfway between old CV games and SOTN CV games. It's main weakness is how much grinding is needed for levels and cards. But I found myself really enjoying the bosses.#RetroGaming #Gaming
