[Here's more information from theverge]

This isn't necessarily new news.  I wanted to add this topic for awhile now.  The Sony Q is a planned handheld that is not like the Vita or anything else.  It appears to simply be a Sony player like the functionality of the Vita where it allowed remote playing of games from the console on the same network. 

I like the concept, but I'd like to have this functionality in a new Vita style device.  I'm not sure how much of a market there is for this device. What are your thoughts?

I guess I always long for a new Vita.. but that could be my "preference" that maybe stems from happy memories. I can't say that's the case... but that may be the case.

Fyi @targetrasp and @retro junkie ... I definitely pulled the trigger.

Right now it's $32 (31% off). Darius Cosmic Collection Japanese Ver. Japan Import for the Nintendo Switch.

Happy hunting.

Thanks you @retro junkie and @targetrasp ... I'm stuck on a SHMUP kick. This time it's RayStorm X RayCrisis HD Collection for the Nintendo Switch.  I've not had a chance to enjoy these titles.  If I remember right, RayStorm came through the shop as a PlayStation 1 game.

This package contains 2 games - RayStorm and RayCrisis.

Have you played this game?  Are you interested in this game? What are your thoughts?

On a shooter kick for the Switch!   I figure @retro junkie and @targetrasp are all ears lol.  This time it's SHMUP Collection for the Nintendo Switch.

It appears there are 3 games in 1 ... each of a different SHMUP variety.  I'm intrigued and interested.  Has anyone else checked this out or played it?

The neo arcade one gave me the impression of an off-brand R-Type. Nothing stood out, but I played it because I too enjoy shooters. I'm not crazy about bullet hell shooters so games like R-type are more my speed. Andro Dunos 2 looks like it's much better than the original and made it to my wish list but for some reason hasn't hit the cart yet.

@targetrasp - same here. It hasn't made it to my cart yet.  It definitely looks better than the original.

@retro junkie - I've been doing the same thing!  IE bought Raiden and a few others as well. I also bought a few Neo shooters from the Nintendo shop. 

We haven't had Netflix for a little while now - for about the last year.  I think I'm going to have to cancel one service, start up another... and rotate them out. This is ridiculous but the cost of services are even more  ridiculous at this time.

I want to check out Castlvania.  It looks interesting...

So what do you think the over/under is they are working up an Anakin series @CreepinDeth ??

I ask this without looking at anything ahead of time.    I wonder if they are working up an Anakin story. It would be a major wasted opportunity for everything they've done.

@Grindspine  --> I'm going to check Hollow Knight. I think I saw it in my list and I have not played. IF not, I believe it's great on Deck... and pretty cost worthy.  This will be added to my collection if not there.

Are you still playing?

[Other Deck topics]

Day-Z... this was the game to play pre-PUBG if you were looking for Battle-Royale style games.  However, it was bogged down with bugs and tons of development issues.  At one point, they fully removed the zombies from the game until certain bugs were fixed.   The game was finally released a couple years (maybe few) back that was playable. 

I'm revisiting Day-z  and it's been fun.  I have yet to see another player... but the zombie, survival and fighting mechanisms seem to be working ok.  Maybe I don't see people because I tend to starve to death or die by Zombie attacks.  For some reason, it still is fun.  Maybe it won't be after a few more months.

Moving on to the Steam Deck...  I really want to get Day-z working well on the Deck.  It is not officially supported, but the community layout works OK.  One of the issues... I cannot figure out how to throw a grenade.  LOL     I found smoke grenade, pulled it... and, thankfully it was not an explosive grenade because I couldn't throw it.

Have you played this game recently?  Thought about playing it?

Did anyone notice any other issues?  I think I have it all corrected now.   IE missing images...etc.   If so, I Will unsticky this topic.

At some point in the future, I'll work on the dark theme again

@retro junkie no problem... except you made me feel crazy for a few! 

I dug episode 8.  I hope Season 2 comes a bit quicker.  Still ... hard to believe - $250Million?!  That's a lot of money to put into viewership.  But Everything was super well done.

@CreepinDeth 

Muwahaha 

Loki Season 2

Let's go!

Alright... I'm super pumped for this.  Hard to believe all that time has passed since Loki was originally airing.  NOW... Loki Season 2 is here!

Who is pumped!?  What are you looking for in this season?

I really dig how it went.  I get the perception of Ahsoka being more about Sabine... however, it really rounds out the story of Ahsoka and also Anakin.  Seeing these additional pieces (IMO) helped round out the picture.

I believe we watched Episode 8 last night? maybe it was 7... but I think it was 8.  Will check this later.  The last episode was pretty awesome as well.

Also... I didn't realize the cost was $250,000,000.  That seems very expensive, though they have been high quality, effects, sounds...etc.

@retro junkie - when you have the chance go play again. Those stages you highlighted above with the webs... you fly super slow or near stand still, correct?  And with the ship, were you able to jump?

I swear I remember playing something like this or actually playing this game. 

I really enjoyed the PSVita.  I'm glad it came out and I had the chance to buy and play it.  It's one of those systems that (IMO) was underrated and should've succeeded along with the 3DS.  It had a decent amount of power and was just great with all features... including trophies and messaging as well.

As far as Angry Birds, it wasn't my favorite. But it was a lot of fun and there's good memories tied to playing it.  It's pretty cheap... and a decent find.   It might be worth the $10-15 new for your collection.   

@Grindspine - thought I responded to this but I don't see it.   You are spot on... imo those were epic scenes.

Episode 6 was pretty awesome.  Can't wait to see what episode 7 holds. 

@retro junkie - what do you mean?

I'm absolutely happy they didn't cap at 6. I was hoping they would go to 9 or 10.  Hey - I can dream.

@mastermario @SpartanEvolved @trkorecky  - are you guys watching Ahsoka? 

@targetrasp I hear you.  Also, your gif stopped. Didn't realize gfycat shut down. Dead as of sept 1, 2023

 Has anyone saw the Limited Run Games Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Anniversary Edition for the Nintendo Switch?

I just noticed it on Amazon ... and it comes with a few extras including a free personal pan pizza lol   

Check it out! Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Anniversary Edition - Nintendo  Switch on Amazon

Still watching Agents of Shield. Into season 5 at the moment.

How is it?  You are now 1 season ahead of me.

Finished the Twisted Metal show and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Season 1 is only 10 episodes but there didn't seem to be much filler. I do recommend it if anyone wants something to jump into but don't want to watch multiple seasons.

This peaked my interest, but life right now is not allowing for a lot of extra time.  The months of July and August were both spent on a family event thing and health issues. If our subscription is still active, I might check this out when things calm.

@CreepinDeth  - I 100% agree.  Those scenes you highlighted were amazing... and were an enjoyment to watch. Top notch.


@retro junkie — have you been keeping up?


What are your thoughts @mastermario @SpartanEvolved @Grindspine @targetrasp ?

Hopefully they expand on this a bit more... I think we'll find out a lot more in the Marvels... I also think we'll see a tie in based on what we saw in Secret Invasion.

Definitely dug the series... odd ending... but proper, I think lol.

@CreepinDeth @retro junkie @Grindspine @targetrasp @SpartanEvolved @mastermario --> any additional thoughts?

Great post @retro junkie !   Funny thing is... I was just logging into post this and saw you did!   

Life has been extremely busy the last 2-3 months with many family and life events occurring.  Free time has been at a minimum... but we were able to sneak in the last 3 episodes of Ahsoka.

I agree.. it doesn't have the Star Wars feel... but I attribute that to the intermediate time they are in between war, change, and many other events occurring in the time line.  To me, the animated Clone Wars series had the same feel in many areas of the series.

I'm excided to see where this heads... hopefully they expand on the series.  I've been waiting for Ahsoka for awhile!  They teased early on with the trailers.

BTW... it was awesome to see everyone this weekend!  Great times indeed.

LOL @Grindspine - you need a portal cake.  That's awesome!

I found Angry Birds Star Wars new for the PSVita for around $10.00 .. I ended up buying it.  I played this game for the PS4... but thought it would be fun to have it for the PSVita.

Does anyone else have it?  I doubt many people still play the PSVita anymore.  I know @retro junkie has his... but not sure who else here still has their Vita.

It's been awhile.. but finally breaking out Animal Crossing New Leaf again.  I have about 3 fossils left to collect... and working on completing a few things.

I know most people have moved on to the Switch version, but is anyone still playing this game?

thoughts? comments?  post it up!

@retro junkie yeah... I was getting accustomed to some of the Apple shortcuts as well.  Then the Apple Pen shortcuts...etc..etc. 

That's cool you're getting accustomed to your new device.  This is a bit after your last post... are you running circles around it now? 

Happy Birthday @Grindspine --> A Day late, however, please enjoy your digital cake.

Also --> if you get the gift of gaming, post up your spoils!
