But even in a starved market like #Brazil most households weren't gonna dump over 1 month minimum wage on an aging #3G-#Cellphone with composite video and 6-button #USB #controllers.
So yeah, blame Qualcomm for this shitshow...
And lets be honest, #Edutainment is not a cash cow because in places like #Mexico it's way easier to get even cheaper #PC|s due to #NAFTA #FreeTrade (i.e. all the stuff #refurbishers couldn't sell in the #USA anymore got offered there before being sold further south...
Needless to say the Zeebo is the strongest argument for #StopKillingGames as these devices are nearly useless these days and piracy is the only way to get / change games on it and play them these days.
Nowadays the nieche of the zeebo is served by cheap #PCs for #gaming even cheaper #Android devices and (aside from few stores like #Steam that managed to upstell a #DRM as a #feature), rampant #piracy to the point that #MobileGaming outside of #iOS is basically dead unless we account #PayToLoose #Shovelware of the "#DisguisedGambingGame" kind as "#Gaming" which is an insult even for #gambling, because there at least in theory, with a honest operator the chance of winning is greater than zero (tho I'd still disrecommend it because no gambling game is *"fair" beyond the theoretical chance of winning by the rules)...

I just finished replaying Half-Life. Even though it's an old FPS, i still enjoyed the level design and all the details that made navigating the facility eventful and fun.
Since i wanted to play it on the couch, i used the Darkwalker Shotpad. It's a fitting controller for old PC games, when i don't want to sit at the desk.
I'm looking forward to trying the new Steam Controller, hopefully it'll be easier to hold. 😁

Abxylute M4 magnetic snap-on game controller hits Kicsktarter for $39 and up
Abxylute has been selling handheld game consoles for the past few years, but the company has also branched out by selling game controllers and other accessories. And this summer abxylute introduced an unusual smartphone game controller that snaps magnetically to the back of your phone to turn it into a T-shaped gaming device. Imagine a mix between a vertical console like a Game Boy and a […]

The #N64 controller is one most unique mainstream console controllers ever made and brought analogue controls to the masses. But for some reason nobody appears to be able to create proper replacements, which stay true to the original while using modern technology. Super interesting video about the #Nintendo64 controller and some third party replacements illustrating all the unique things and quirks about this legendary input device:

I own the #Tribute64 V2 so I could play the #Zelda source ports on the #SteamDeck but the wireless configuration is a mess and the the input setup can be quite fiddly. And I finally ordered a an official N64 controller for the Switch which can be used on PC.
Too bad it stays too true to the original in one critical aspect: It uses the same stick design prone to wear. 🙈 At least it's said to be properly lubed... but I better not be playing #MarioParty 1 with that thing.
This is extremely neat and I need one right now 🎮️🎮️🎮️🎮️🎮️🎮️
