![]() ![]() Whereas previously Boost Mobile focused on family plans with savings for multiple-line users, it now features a simpler Mint-like pricing structure where you pay for a monthly, three-month, or yearly plan upfront. Mint Mobile is a crowd favorite in 2023 but it faces extremely stiff competition from Boost Mobile - another prepaid carrier on the T-Mobile network that's recently switched up its plans to include some superb value choices. See our Mint Mobile plans guide for a detailed breakdown of this service. Still, Mint is a fantastic choice with a number of decent budget low-data options and a competitively priced unlimited data plan, all of which can be mixed-and-matched with the Mint family plan. Unlike other carriers, you're not really 'saving' with Mint's family plan, rather cutting some red tape and getting access to an easier to manage setup versus buying multiple plans. Mint has also recently introduced a family plan of its own recently, which will automatically enable you to bundle multiple lines together at the cheapest rate possible. This can mean a relatively hefty sum to pay upfront, but there's also the distinct advantage of no monthly bills or contracts to deal with. With Mint, you get the choice between three month, six month, and yearly plans that you can buy outright, with the longer service durations equating to lower monthly rates on average. Mint Mobile is an absolutely awesome prepaid carrier if you're looking to maximise value and don't mind paying for a plan upfront. See our Visible wireless plans guide for a detailed breakdown of this service. This tier is significantly more expensive but comes with 50GB of priority data on the Verizon Wideband 5G network, which means it gets the fastest possible speeds without suffering from any slow-down if the local area is network. If you're a more data-hungry user, you could also consider the premium Visible Plus for $40 per month per line. A slight caveat here is that there's no bespoke family plan at Visible, so you'll have to manage those lines separately. ![]() Previously, you had to bundle in four lines on a plan to get the cheapest rate possible whereas now you'll automatically pay just $25 per month on the standard plan. While the standard Visible plan is potentially subject to deprioritization (as with most prepaid plans), it's overall a solid pick that's now great value for a varied range of setups. While the carrier used to specifically have a 'Party Pay' family plan feature that's unfortunately no longer available, a recent price cut (from $30 to $25 per month) has essentially ensured all lines are automatically enrolled on the lowest price anyway.Īnd, for just $25 per month, the standard (or basic) Visible plan is fantastic considering you get completely unlimited data, mobile hotspotting (at 5MBps), and unlimited talk and text. Visible has been a staple on our list of best family plans since the inception of this guide, simply because it's exceptional value if you need an unlimited data plan on a budget. ![]() Cricket Wireless - best for value on the AT&T network.Verizon - best for flexibility and coverage.Boost Mobile - Another good prepaid option.Mint Mobile - best for basic prepaid plans.Visible - best for unlimited data value.For more options, we also recommend checking out our main best cell phone plans article, where you'll find a great overview of the market as a whole. If you need any help, guidance, or unbiased advice, you'll find a very helpful frequently asked questions section at the bottom of the page. Visible and Mint Mobile are especially great options right now for those who are really on a budget and willing to cut out some of the perks and priority data that you'd normally find on the more expensive post-paid options.Īnd, we're not just weighing in with a simple list of the best family cell phone plans in this article either. Not only do you have some very competitive discounts on multi-line premium unlimited data plans from the traditional 'big three' carriers (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile), but you've also for some great options from smaller prepaid carriers. Now more than ever you'll also find the market absolutely flooded with fantastic options for the best family cell phone plans. Coverage, data allowances, and discounts for 2-line or 3-line plans specifically have all been considered here with our recommendations, so hopefully you'll find something that's relevant to your requirements. Price is of course the most important factor for most when considering the best family cell phone plans, but we've also considered plenty of other things too.

You can import the image in a drawing program and draw on top of it, or lower the opacity and work under it (may help to delete the squares as you work, so it doesn't hinder your perception of the colors you're working with) (You may be able to shrink and expand it for other tile set sizes?) So I had to create this template to overlay on the open pages you can use this if you want to make your own colors and want to fix the pages with less hassle.This is meant for RPG Maker MZ 48x48 A4 tilesets. One of the problems with recoloring the books using GIMP is that the open pages get all screwed up. The books on the bottom should all be good. If you’ll notice a lot of the bookshelves have really similar patterns and I wanted to vary that up a bit, but that takes a while also I think a couple are the RTP bookshelves and I intend to change that, plus I wanted to have an alternate color for the bookshelves that would go next to the others. These are shrank to fit on the screen a lot better, but you need to click on them before you save them, so they will be the right size.

So here’s the zip file that has all of these: Dungeon A1 Variants and A2 Tiles with OverlaysĪlso in there are the templates that I used, for those of you who want to do similar things with Samurai, Arabian Nights, etc sets. By clumping items together you can have a more natural placement and have more variety of items on a tile than mapping them separately would allow. I also made the existing overlays that didn’t have full tiles and the existing tiles that didn’t have an overlay version into tiles as well. Now we are lose to the end, but let us now add some more tiny edits to flesh things out: 3. I also made overlays for the right side of the tileset to blend in with any tiles (in theory). I then got bored and made 144 A2 tiles from other tiles in the RTP. These are slightly raised so they have a different look. I also included some variants in the zip file. In total there are 27 of these with lava, water, and poison swamp. Description des propriétés des autotiles et tilesets sur RPG Maker MV et MZ. Once I made the template I was able to use the other lava from the World A1 set: Les templates pour les tilesets de MV et MZ, et conseils dutilisation.

Here is a video where I compare four different dock solutions for the Steam Deck. You can use a USB-C hub like this one from Anker, the official Valve Steam Deck Docking Station, or third-party docks like this one from iVoler. Steam Deck dock or USB-C hub: To make setup even easier, you can dock your Steam Deck to a monitor or TV and use it like a regular, boring PC. It is USB rechargeable, and has a 2.4GHz USB dongle for easy connection. However, if you want something more portable, this keyboard from Rii is what I use. If you have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, it’s easy enough to pair them and the pairing will persist between Game Mode and Desktop Mode (how convenient is that?). Moreover, there are times when we’ll need to have the Steam app closed (like when using the Steam ROM Manager), which disables some of the more helpful trackpad controls. ![]() Keyboard and mouse: Because we will use Desktop Mode to configure our emulation experience, it is sometimes easier to use a mouse and keyboard than trying to navigate everything using the Steam Deck’s trackpads and on-screen keyboard. The tools above simply give you the option of making that process easier. Or you could install the EmulationStation Desktop Edition and set that up yourself, too. If you’d like, you can manually install each individual emulator from the Discovery Store and configure them yourself, like you would on a Windows PC. In the end, none of these options above are required to run emulation on the Steam Deck. ES-DE will auto-update itself, so if you remove or add ROMs to your folders, it will automatically catch those changes and it will reflect in the app the next time you boot ES-DE. It can be installed independently by downloading the latest AppImage and installing it on your Steam Deck, or it comes bundled within the EmuDeck or RetroDeck environments. The version found on the Steam Deck is known as EmulationStation-DE (Desktop Edition, shortened to ES-DE). RetroDeck is in active development and not yet in a final release state.ĮmulationStation is a frontend that will provide you with a self-contained user interface to browse and launch your favorite retro games. Moreover, the app is available as a FlatPak directly in the Discover app via Desktop Mode on your Steam Deck, making the installation process super easy. This is a great solution if you just want a simple emulation experience that you can access directly from your SteamOS environment. Because it is self-contained, it will behave as a single app with all of its emulators pre-installed and configured. RetroDeck is an all-in-one emulation solution that uses EmulationStation as its main interface. This is an excellent setup if you want to separate your SteamOS PC gaming experience and your retro game emulation. As an example, you could use your Steam Deck primarily for PC games, and when you are ready to do some emulation, you can just add the Batocera SD card, boot into the card, and start playing games. This means you can load Batocera on a microSD card, flash drive, or external hard drive and boot it from there. ![]() It is completely self-contained and bootable from a variety of formats. However, if you’d rather have a self-contained solution, check out Batocera or RetroDeck.īatocera is a custom Linux operating system that is focused on game emulation. ![]() I’ve seen some concerns about allowing an app to install items on your Steam Deck, but EmuDeck does not require sudo/root access to work, and only installs the same file systems that you would be installing if you installed the emulators manually. It’s not an “app” in the strictest sense, but a collection of clever scripts that take care of all the manual installation and configuration for you. Let’s take a quick look at some of your emulation options on the Steam Deck.ĮmuDeck is a tool that integrates many functions into one: it will download emulators from their official sources, pre-configure your settings and hotkeys, and work together with EmulationStation and the Steam ROM Manager. Updating EmuDeck and emulators CryoUtilities Table of ContentsĮmuDeck vs Batocera vs RetroDeck vs EmulationStation If you are looking for a general setup guide for the Steam Deck itself, I recommend this comprehensive Steam Deck guide from GitHub user mikeroyal. This guide will primarily use an app called EmuDeck to set up your emulation experience, but I will also touch on other solutions like RetroDeck and Batocera. In this guide I’ll show you how to play your favorite retro (and modern) game systems via software emulation. Valve’s Steam Deck is the perfect storm of handhelds: it has an exceptional price-to-performance ratio, a large game library thanks to its Steam integration, and it is becoming more readily available every month.

Then, the group of two either selects one of the notes they wrote or creates a new card based on their conversation to move forward to the larger group discussion. Once individuals have had time to think and write down their thoughts, they are randomly paired in groups of two and asked to share their cards with each other. You can use online sticky note collaboration tools or physical notes for in-person retrospectives. In this technique, each teammate is given a card or sticky note to write down their thoughts on a particular retrospective topic, such as, “What isn’t working well in our communication processes?” Participants get the chance to first think individually and then in larger and larger groups of people until the whole team is brought together.
