Had my first play of a Fallout game, today.
Went for Fallout 4, though all the Fallouts are available. (The RogAlly came with 3 months of GamePass Ultimate, which I HAVE to remember to cancel in 2.5 months time!!)
Got out of the vault onto the land abov*snip*

UTClassic fails spectacularly, running at an approximate speed of 2fps or less. Really not sure what's up with that one.
Hmmm.
So, I figured I'd try Quake III Arena, and .. Oh dear, that went even worse.
The version available on Xbox GamePass *snip*

Had the thing up to 100% fully charged last night, so decided to try a ''unplugged = how dead?'' test.
Woke up to find it down to 80%.

In other news, switching to Big Screen mode on Steam causes Half Life 2's entire menu in*snip*

My Scart to USB Encoder dongle won't work on Macs.

All the three important games have been tested.
Audiosurf is as gorgeous as ever. Having the music on the MicroSD is great, and it's as fast as ever!
I'm playing it at 1920x1080, with full ''premium'' graphical fidelity, and it flows fan*snip*

Current status, downloading Half Life 2, GTA IV and Audiosurf via Steam on the Ally, whilst the Mac is copying a bunch of music onto a MicroSD card so that I can enjoy Audiosurf properly :D

Initial thoughts (whilst doing the first charge and setting up Windows)
1.oh Lordy, let there be an option to turn those RGBs off!!
2. The thing comes with a cardboard dock, how lovely, but the charge point is at the top, so you get a rud*snip*

Apparently this is AI generated. Not sure how much, though. Does that include the audio? Hmmm..
But, blimey!
This is the start of AI Advertising, right here.

v4
v4 of Suno has been unveiled for those on Pro/Premium/Subscribed
I wondered how best to illustrate this, so got it to cover the Um Bongo song in a series of different styles.
A lot of the covers ended up sounding damn-near identical to the old one. *snip*

These are Pizza Crackers.
They're ok. But there's not a lot of flavour. They're no ''Bitza Pizza'', or those lovely Tesco Pizza Crackers from a few years ago. (Man, I miss those..)

I dunno. I think I've gotten far too lazy lately. I was chatting to CyanGames about how rubbish my GBAsp's screen is, and have looked into ''it's easy, just use these 100 screwdrivers!'' tutorials to switching that out, and I'm li*snip*

Scrolling tiles

Yeah, I think you need to find just the right style for that.
Maybe code up a few tests until you find something that works.
Perhaps it might even just be the particle sprite.
Have you considered making little puffy cloud balls? That might make it look*snip*

Lyrics
[spoiler][verse]
Christmas is coming.
There's flurries of snow.
Floating on down,
From the northernmost pole.
It’s coming to freeze us,
So wrap up real tight,
Pop on a hat,
With a bobble so bright.
