Huge update and a new release for those who love playing #GOG and #EpicGames along with #itchio on their #SteamDeck
Junk Store has released a full update which is version 3.0 (๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ค๐ข๐ญ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐๐ณ๐ฐ) - so nice to see!
Along with that I spotted some new branding art! Nice for those whose #gaming is on the go with the Steam Deck
I got to review Anbernic's latest handheld, the Anbernic RG Vita Pro. Choosing white was the ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ด๐ต choice. It looks fantastic in person
Taking obvious design cues (blatantly) from the #Sony #PlayStation #Vita I think it nailed the hardware
I've had a blast playing upscaled PSP games, and naturally, some Vita titles also. For the 1st time I got to enjoy Gravity Rush and Wipeout2048, and loved them!
If you wanna read my #gaming review on it, I was pleasantly surprised:
Nice to see ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ฆ has a concept for combining #LEGO and #gaming
I saw this one shared in a couple #Sony #PSP communities, and thought it should be shown off here too! Someone made a Lego Ideas concept - which is a process which lets users vote. With enough votes it then gets picked up by Lego to be made.
Could I find the page on Lego Ideas? No (๐ฎ๐ข๐บ๐ฃ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ต ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ด ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฑ๐ข๐ด๐ด ๐ด๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ฏ๐ต๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฏ๐ข๐ญ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ท๐ช๐ฆ๐ธ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ค๐ฆ๐ด๐ด ๐ง๐ช๐ณ๐ด๐ต)
Nope, here it is!

...at least it looks pretty.
If you're in the #Linux or #LinuxGaming scene, you might have seen the ๐ฅ๐ณ๐ข๐ฎ๐ข that surrounded @mathieucomandon when he shared that #Claude has been and will continue to be used for his program: #Lutris
Whether you agree or disagree with his decision, I thought it unfair that all of the publications writing about this didn't bother to get in touch with Mathieu first
So I chatted a little with him about his decisions, his work, history with Lutris and the future with AI:

Over the past couple weeks, thereโs been a lot of discussion around Lutris and its developer, Mathieu Comandon, following comments about using AI tools (specifically Claude) as part of the projectโs development. Itโs the kind of topic that can very quickly spiral into wider debates about open
For today's article I just wanted to write something fun.
I've been ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ด๐ฆ๐ด๐ด๐ฆ๐ฅ with the #Sony #PSP lately, and the interesting thing I've noticed (particularly on social media) is that others have been too. It seems like in #gaming circles, the old handheld has been given a new lease on life!
I just went over a few reasons on why I think that might be. Along with some fun vintage ads for the PSP
...I hope you enjoy it:
Over the past few months, I've spotted something a little odd and unexpected happening to Sony's old PlayStation Portable. There's been no corporate push, no announcement of the truly portable Sony handheld we used to hope for (sorry, Portal). Instead, through something far less predictable, considering it's 2026, people are
Just wanted to remind you that Mike Mignola (Hellboy!) was meant to animate the #Disney film Atlantis: The Lost Empire, instead he didn't, and it was more just his #art style without him

Today marks the 25th anniversary of the #Nintendo #GameBoyAdvance
March 21st, 2001 in Japan saw the GBA released!
...and I ๐ด๐ต๐ช๐ญ๐ญ prefer the original layout/design to the SP's
For something frivolous but amazing, I found this sticky note dispenser designed by d3signLane on MakerWorld to for #3Dprinting if you love one of the most recognizable forms of #gaming
The #Nintendo #GameCube and writing short notes, together at last:

I spent a few days with the #RetroDECK team chatting to them about why their project is more than ๐ซ๐ถ๐ด๐ต emulation. They all believe in the #retrogaming landscape so much, they just want to bring everything they can to their program

https://gardinerbryant.com/retrodeck-is-more-than-emulation-an-interview-with-the-devs/
Thereโs a certain way people talk about retro gaming that Iโve never fully clicked with. It almost always comes back to consoles and emulators: what system youโre recreating, how accurate it is, how close it feels to the original hardware. And of course, thatโs part of
