  • At the moment, I don’t think there’s any one option which is better than the other. GameNative has been on the scene for some time now, so the benefit is months upon months of refinement! DroidDeck however has only been around for a little over one month now. Their team has a ton of experience with similar projects, but as a whole this one is quite new.

    The interesting thing (to me at least) is that the Retroid Pocket Duo which I reviewed not so long ago wouldn’t work at all with GameNative, but would work a dream with DroidDeck.

    • Both projects make use of AI to assist, but DroidDeck more-so than GameNative.
    • I use both, because as it stands each can work when one won’t
    • GameNative has a couple handheld manufacturers paying attention and working with them for native builds for specific devices, while DroidDeck hasn’t got that

    I think while they’re similar, they do different things. GN focuses on making the games themselves playable while DroidDeck gives you the entire Steam interface.

    P.S. I also just uploaded the massive complete chats record with the members of DroidDeck to my NeoCities page, if you wanted to read all about their work. It is a long read though!

  • Oh my Gosh. Okay, this is me!

    One creator I enjoy and follow on the Fediverse is Gardiner Bryant as his content is really enjoyable.

    First off, thank you so much! Really appreciate you enjoying the articles we put out :) One think I might emphasize here though is that so far as the site goes, Gardiner and I are partners! This is one of my articles though (so I’m to blame for this appearing so often in your feed). In fact I’m 99.99% sure Gardiner doesn’t actually share his articles on Lemmy at all.

    Sadly he ´s the target of my post as he shares his content on many different communities that I follow.

    (And I’m ‘she’!)

    I’m sorry it appears like this. It used to annoy me back when I was regularly on Reddit, when a post was cross-posted to a different community I’d have to follow that link, read their description of the post, then follow the link then go back a few steps to start/join the discussion in that community. Since joining Lemmy and sharing here (it has been a long time!) I just went against that grain and posted in the communities it was relevant to, to give each community a space to chat about it.

    I had no idea your app was showing it this way, or that how I was doing this was annoying anyone. I’ll just go back to the age old cross-post method instead, going forward. Interesting that your app shows it this way, the one I use seems to do that for me.

    Sorry to annoy you! It won’t happen going forward :)
