I made LASIM! https://github.com/CMahaff/lasim
I currently have 3 accounts (big shock):
/u/CMahaff@lemmy.world
/u/CMahaff@lemmy.ml

I saw this complaint in another post online (paraphrased):
The screen and use of a Pi seem at odds with each other. The screen is ultra-low power, but there are of course huge drawbacks for usability. Meanwhile the CPU is very powerful, but chews through, comparatively, a lot of power quickly.
They argued that it would be better to either pair the Pi with a better screen for a more powerful/usable handheld, or go all in on longevity and use some kind of low-power chip to pair with the screen for a terminal that could last for days.
… I’ve got to say, it’s a fair point. A low power hand-held that could run Linux and run for days would be pretty cool, even if it was underpowered compared to a Pi. No idea what you could use for such a thing though.
I played it a lot when I got it - it was a good excuse to play some games that have been languishing in my library. Recently I haven’t used it a ton except when on travel, but my fiance has played a lot of games on it, and it opens up the possibility of us playing PC games together. So I’d say it’s been well worth it overall.
I’m surprised by Helldiver’s. Has there been some performance patches? I tried playing that on my deck near launch and it really struggled even at minimum settings - I can’t imagine how it would run at higher difficulties.
