Really enjoying my time so far on Expedition 33. It's been a while I had a game where I felt drawn to finish it as soon as I can. Very good stuff.

Got an orangepi RV2 equipped with a new RISC-V SOC. It's much faster than the Starfive Vision 2 and it ships with a full Ubuntu distro making it a breeze to use. Risc-v has come a long way! #orangepi #rv2 #linux #riscv #hardware #soc

Will talk at length about this soon, but I talked with many indies devs today, most of them currently using Unity. Most of them don't seem too happy with how Unity is dealing with indies and when I asked for alternatives (without giving any hints) they all mentioned Godot as a serious contender. It's clearly top of mind now. #tgs2024 #godot #gamedev #unity

@npub1g9u…u0dr they have them in a very few stores in Japan. But it's not widespread.

So I went to an electronics store in Japan over the weekend. Nowadays they have a 'portable pc gaming' corner with the Windows machines: Lenovo legion Go, ROG Ally, and the MSI crap with Intel. The most surprising thing was that the store did not even bother to install any decent games on them. On the demo units you could enjoy thz glory of Win11 on a small screen and thats it. Thats an FAIL of epic proportions. Of course the Steam Deck was nowhere to be seen. #pcgaming #handheld #japan
