Bought this game

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1249480/ExZodiac/

Its a lot of fun

If starfox was good
Yeah, I bought that too. It's good, and tough. Need to get back to it.



I got GRIS to play with my two year old daughter. She loves it, but I can't figure out the puzzles 45 minutes into it. :(

Yeah, I played a bit, got stuck, looked up the solution, realized my brain doesn't work that way… it's beautiful, but I'm not interested in unsolvable problems.

Enh.

DISCO started interestingly enough, but was flawed. It's neat that they tried new stuff, but by s3 it felt like they were lost as to what to do.

At least it gave us Strange New Worlds, which I've enjoyed what I've seen. Unfortunately, s1 has only just now showed up on Japan's Amazon.

It's a greater mystery why Lower Decks remains canceled despite wining a couple Emmys.

I've played through the entire game and I also got my 7 yo to play it. He got stuck at an ice block puzzle and a difficult jump. 95% of the game he could play without help.

Where did you get stuck? Maybe you're in the wrong area? Try backtracking and see if that helps.

Their new game Neva is supposed to be great too. I haven't played that yet.

Yeah I'll be playing that

Everything I've ordered from AliExpress has always come through without a hitch.

Most of that stuff was GBA modding stuff, screens, cases, buttons etc.

Never had a problem, once the cpu on the screen mod was broken during shipping and they just sent a new one.

I don’t quite understand aliexpress. The Trimui Brick is nearly half the price on Amazon and $20 cheaper than other sites. The reaction from people is: ignore the shipping window. you might get it within 89 days. if you do, it could be a broken light bulb.

Never used Ali Express myself, but have seen the horror stories with proof.  People really have gotten some random garbage instead of what they ordered.

Speaking of Amazon, the replacement Brick I ordered still isn't here yet.  Meanwhile there's now Prime delivery options.  Oh well, should still be here this week.

May just spend extra to get it for upcoming flights. Even if I ordered the Retroid 5 on the site, it’s questionable if it’ll arrive within a week. Checking, the shipping here is the same as shipping cost around Tokyo. So I’ll take back a spare SD and card reader. Figure it out later.

You can check the stock on Retroid's site here: https://www.goretroid.com/pages/delivery-dashboard

Previously, people had to wait some time to get their RP5s, but they're all caught up.  Right now, everything is in stock and ready to ship- given your location, if there's DHL or similarly-faster delivery option available I'm sure you could get one in 2-4 days.

Just yesterday I nearly ordered the Trim Brick. Really, because it’s on Amazon. But it’s not that much smaller than the Retroid 5 and I don’t need to juggle multiple handhelds. Probably ordering RP5 soon even if shipping takes it closer to $250.

The Brick IS that much smaller than the RP5!  Noticeably smaller.  If you want something more pocketable, definitely get it!  If you get a RP5, make sure to use DHL for shipping- it's worth the extra cost.  Mine was sent out on Monday and I got it on Friday.  People who have used the cheaper shipping option have waited weeks to get theirs with some disastrous results like screens arriving cracked.

Good tip.
