I have done 5 so far now!

(One more than this you commented under!)

And yes, I hope to make them a weekly occurrence :) And thank you so much for saying so!

I’m a sucker for OLED screen

R.E. the OLED, you can write me on Matrix if you’re there (or join the Revolt server!) and I can help you with a pointer for it!!!

I know Lazorne is on here, so I have no doubt this comment will make them smile!!!

Well, you’ve got a lot of options!

Since getting my Steam Deck, I sold my Switch collection, since (for the most part), emulating Switch games are a breeze. Theres obviously ones which perform poorly, but the vast, vast majority run so well!

You can always get the original launch model of Switch - you can jailbreak it with a little ‘jig’ and its the easiest thing in the world. No mod chip required. There’s even tablet-only ones, even OLEDs on aliexp if you want to have someone do they hard work for you, too!

The Steam Deck is incredibly hard to beat - Steam games, GOG, Epic and Amazon games. Emulation. Its a lot of gaming :)

(And as to frequency posting these? Lately, every 3 or 4 days!!!)

Hmmm that’s pretty specific!

I’d look at:

• Cara Ellison. She’s touched on it before, that I’ve noticed when writing for The Guardian - how strong videogames are for the medium of telling stories, and also for expressing art.

• Matthewmatosis on YouTube, does some great work on at least the artistic choices teams make when creating the games

• Critical Distance is a good site, critiquing games as a serious art form

I mean…this is in my eyes, and in my experience reading them. The thing about art is though…it’s so damned subjective, so what I found related to that point, you might find is totally, totally off-the-mark!

Hope it helps, a little though! <3

I’ve seen the same.

And I can’t claim any ownership of this, this is purely Gardiner’s server! I just…happen to know a lot of the devs and creators in the space, and I’m slowly inviting them in because - well I guess a place like this, more focused and small where we can chat about what we love: developing for Linux, and gaming on Linux might be a nice thing!

I’d just encourage you to make a throwaway account (if you’re so inclined!) and ask in the server yourself! No one can answer better than Gardiner can :)

This is literally like…idk 2 hours old at this point. No ‘big’ posts have been made, just me prodding the odd folk (like here) to join in and see if they like it :)
