Mega Man 4 is my favorite NES game. I also love Mega Man 2 and 6. 5 is fun. 3 is overrated. 1 is okay. I’ll write you a paragraph on each game if you’d like. Try The Sequel Wars!

  • I had an absolute mess of a time trying to get Unity working on Linux. Even once I got it working, it had an issue where hovering over the Burst menu would cause the whole OS to lock up and I would have to reboot. It wasn’t a good experience. I’ve never used Wine so I don’t know if that would be any better.

    When I first got it working, I wrote down the steps I took. I don’t know if this is everything I had to do or if I forgot a step, but it might be a good starting point.

    • Install Unity Hub from the Pop!_Shop. I vividly remember not being able to get it to work right any other way.
    • Install .NET and Mono via flatpak. I wrote down that it had to be version 6 of both SDKs, don’t remember why.
    • Install the flatpak version of Visual Studio Code. You can do this from the Pop!_Shop if you want.
    • Get the C# extension for VSC if you don’t have it.
    • Once in Unity, go to “Edit/Preferences/External Tools” and check “Generate .csproj files for:”
      • Embedded packages
      • Local packages
      • Registry packages
      • Git packages
      • Built-in packages
    • Click “Regenerate project files”
    • When you open a script, Unity will tell you to set “Omnisharp: Use Modern Net” to false in VSC’s settings. Do this to get code suggestions.

    I hope this helps! Welcome to Linux! If you need clarification on any of this, just ask.













  • Low profile circle pads for joysticks aren’t bad at all IMO. Some people dislike them. Depends on the person.

    I don’t think I would want a Steam Deck in this form factor. The current Deck honestly feels like the perfect size for me. Not too big to be unruly, not too small to be uncomfortable. I totally understand the appeal of a pocketable device, but I’ve come to realize that I really just don’t have a need for a device that portable and would rather have something bigger. A device this small wouldn’t have the same number of inputs and would greatly compromise on comfort. That’s mostly a me thing, though. Plenty of people want smaller handhelds, so a smaller handheld PC could probably find an audience.

    I would love an Android smartphone that’s like this. Not a gaming-centric device like a Retroid Pocket, but something that could be my daily driver smartphone while also offering physical controls for a quality gaming experience. Basically the Xperia Play, but modern. It would be far less cumbersome than carrying around a gaming device in addition to my phone, making it much more practical for me.






  • I love it! He’s going to be a fun tool to strategize with. He’s a second captain, which is great for multitasking, but he has different abilities than the avatar to make them both feel distinct. If you don’t want to use him as a captain, you can use him as a sort of super Pikmin to help with those tasks. It’s going to be so fun!
