A BIG Developer finally figured it out!

Thanks for another great show, fitting for me today seeing you both served in Hawaii, and I just sent my daughter to K-bay in Hawaii on father's day, I'll take it as an omen my Marine is going to be okay. I ended up playing the new Diablo 4 season yesterday to distract myself. The show was a great way to start my day, thanks guys!

I've been somewhat surprised by the recent Asus RMA stuff. Not that it's happening, but that people are surprised, as if hearing this for the first time. I've been doing IT work for just over 40 years, and in every circle I've worked, all of us have known that while Asus products tend to be very good quality, *if* you get a bad one, you're fucked.

GN Steve has a wide reach, and he's increasingly willing to use it. He's not shy about pressing the issues, and not at all shy about calling them out when they don't want to address issues.

Russ is the coolest retro reviewer No swearing, very polite, layman technical, no filler, all points covered in a smooth pace and consise manner. No political views or fringe opinions. YouTube is lucky to have him

37:00 Anbernic RG Cube starts (aside from screen issues)

As far as I know, Epic was giving Square a better deal than Steam was per copy, so it does cost them more to list it on Steam over Epic. Although I think we'd all agree that the volume of sales on Steam would be way higher!

Play/watch all of KH1.5 then all of 2.5 then 2.8 then 3+re mind

Love listening to the podcast, always nice to listen to the games you're playing =D I'm interested in that blackjack game!

THANK YOU GUYS!! love the passion and the commitment to this retro gaming industry community all of your content is far superior than most!! Keep up the spectacular presentation style and solid content day after day!!

The right order to play the kingdom hearts games is conveyed well once you're in the menu of each collection, in 1.5+2.5 you have to play the games as they're listed from top to bottom and in 2.8 you play them as they're listed from left to right, just play them in order and you shouldn't be too lost. (Also I recommend playing the actual Nintendo DS games instead of watching the cutscenes included in the collection, the experience is just a downgrade if you only watch cutscenes)

Lol I was definitely looking for this earlier this morning. Thank you for the upload

Square has done this since the FF7 Remake PC Trailer, they specifically mention Steam Deck in all marketing.

Super fun episode, me and Richard did mention it in the past episode but I am still playing The Big Catch: Tacklebox on and off haha. Actually the best platformer I played in years, straight up.

100% understand what he means by Paper Mario remaster not feeling fluid enough. I don't even think it's the framerate, it just feels "clunky". Trying to advance dialogue boxes (there are a ton of them) just feels better on the original.

Retro cloud saves would be a game changer for me to jump into more devices. It's already a bummer between my Deck and my PC

Bringing up RMA stuff, my Steam Deck had a dead pixel (just one) and I messaged Valve about it, and they paid for it to be sent in and replaced the screen. One of the best RMA experiences I've ever had, and a lot of companies don't cover a dead pixel under warrenty unless it's a cluster of them or something. It's another reason I'm glad I went with the Deck, I would like to have more multiplayer games playable on it, but in terms of updates and customer care I don't think it gets better (at least right now) than the Deck.

I find it really funny to run a Switch emulator for a Switch game on an Anbernic device only to nope out because of lack of cloud saves. Repeating the opening hours of very long RPGs has been almost exclusively my entire history with JRPGs and I hope as tech advances we get some focus on cloud saves, but also cross saves and remakes that include chapter select

I have the same problem with KH. Can anyone tell me what order should I play the series?

I don't get there as fast as Russ, but I do have a bad habit of not finishing my favorites. I do know why though, I don't want it to be over.

Hmm, the talk regarding no cloud saves for animal well on Android got me thinking. What would the prospects be to get proton running on Android? Is it feasible at all?
