Saint Tropez · Peter Thomas Sound Orchester

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=LFsekuOvTA8

This is not normally my jam, but it came along on ‘The In-Sound’ on Soma.fm and, well, now it lives rent free in my moist brain forever. Feels like a great fit for that lazy weekend vibe :)

Sure, I think I agree, their main focus isn’t ‘cyberpunk’ .

‘edit’ I was gonna leave it there but now I’m interested if you (know of and) think that Aachi & Ssipak 2006 does fit the bill? :)

Oh yeah! And would one call “Redline (2009)” cyberpunk? Or Akira? Thought of them because you mentioned Ghost in the Shell.

It’s cooler that way.

Damn all the negative bullshit is a real shame. I shared the info about this ROM hack with extra veracity in my circles in response to that, and now 3 new people who love being represented by those cool flags are happily trying it out. I’ll try myself later in the week, it looks really cool. Thanks for sharing it here.

I loved it on the Wii with attached nun-chuck, having my arms both facing out feels more comfortable then in, when sitting with a controller. Now you’ll have a full set of inputs to go with it, very cool!

The first time I held a deck I was kind of amazed at how comfortable it is to hold. Bricks shouldn’t be that comfy to hold, but, it is. The ergonomics are spot on. Gotta handle the Steam Controller V2 myself before any verdict, but I have high hopes.

Same, worked with no hassle, and very comfy controller for me.

Really!? Crazy, imma read up on asbest today :), thanks for the factoid!

In my non English native experience, they will often set the language.

Button is on the top now 😔

Very cool! I’m thinking of going for ubuntu touch, seeing as Android has proven that it’s no longer worth the time investment. Also, Fairphone 5 is my next phone if the current one dies, so it works out.

Could you share what do you really like about it? And what is your biggest gripe or letdown with it? Thanks!

wow, yes please!

Too bad it’s American garbage nonetheless, so I’ll never taste it!

Enjoy your isolation, fascists/corporatists. I’m sure it will turn out great.

It’s over 200% of the price though, comparing the cheapest options. I payed 320 for a refurbished SD. Cheapest Legion go I could find was 700+.

Bigger screen and another usb C would be great, agreed, but im gonna ride this Steamdeck all the way to hell if it’ll let me .

the old fashioned way.

A whole swath of trained toads using a special made tube network?

For audio, take to a local thrift store or Facebook marketplace or whatever platform is the most used locally and mix and match your own receiver + speaker set. A decent receiver can be found around €50, speakers can be even cheaper. Most modern speakers of some size are decent enough, bought some second hand Jamo tower speakers for 50 for the set(2) as well. Smaller bookcase speakers with minimum 4 inch (if you don’t go for a seperate subwoofer) speakers can be found for €20. You need some oomph in the lower end to get some extra cinema points. Stereo sets are fine, 5.1 is fun but I’d rather have amazing stereo then ok 5.1 , you know?

For beamers, I’d look for a secondhand beamer that was used in business setting.

A clean white wall is cheap en convenient beaming surface, but a good screen will help increase brightness which can often be the most tricky part about beaming at home. But harder to do secondhand.

Sidenote, I almost never save the boxes of stuff I buy, but the tv box gets special treatment in the attic, because in the box it’s very transportable, but without it, I agree, it’s a big hassle.

GL!

Came here to check if someone recommended used, that’s what I would do.
