Now you can smell like pennies

Jesus fucking Christ right?

Like what the fuck were they thinking with that c cable?

They got it right in the dick why did they fuck it up on the main cable.

If I were them I’d be waiting for ARM based processors to catch up in terms of interoperability layers.

Man I remember dropping shittyflash games on new ground and going FUCKING WILD when one person had played it.

Likewise. Downloading demo now.

But also, like, I’m at least 100 hours into pixel dungeon. Idk what to tell indie game developers. Like, its not guaranteed to be a hit.

Before getting one I couldnt imagine what I would do with it.

Now that I have it I couldnt imagine what I would do without it. I am playing far more games and having more fun doing so. It acted as a drop in replacement for a work computer one week while I had to replace a laptop. Its just a pleasure to use. Games look incredible on it. Once you are comfortable with it, in some ways, its better than a mouse and keyboard (specifically if you have a good key mapping and have developed competence with the touch pads). And I play games like City Skylines, Factorio, BG3, Valheim.

If you want to fall in love and never go back, I would say to play Witcher 3. I think that game was a pure pleasure to play. And getting in 15 minutes of valheim while I’m laying in bed before sleep is something I could never do with a PC.

Right on. I’m just excited that this form factor is going to “be a thing” for a while, because god damn, I love my deck.

But realistically, it could be a drop in replacement for my mobile computing solutions if it was just a bit beefier.

Shiitttttt…

I mean. The ROG Ally has much better hardware…

Steam has to be one of the most profitable companies on a per-head count basis of all time.

There are so many great city builder demos on Steam right now, you can play 3 new ones every single day this week

Yeah this game was… interesting enough. I can’t say it was really worth the time to figure out though. I really like RPGs, open world/ multi-path games. But this one just didn’t “hook” me.

How did the daily driver experience go?

I did it for a week with an external monitor and I thought it was… fine? Wondering about your experience.

This highlights the importance of anonymity and things like federated spaces on the modern web.

The tendency for people to want to take credit for their work is also at issue here, but the old Internet has a stronger, “I am my username”, emphasis on anonymity and relatively little credit taking for creativity.

I think the focus on personalities, and on single platforms gives companies leverage over as a users and creators of the Internet.I think if we were less concerned about ownership and taking credit, and more concerned about distribution and access, we can make it basically impossible for companies to gain leverage over ideas.

I think also the modern, reactionary view of copyright law is deeply problematic and counter productive. I don’t think the online left quite realizes they can’t can’t have it both ways. Like I get the instinct towards protectionism of small creators, but I think that modern concepts of copyright are fundamentally flawed at both a fundamental legal.level, but also at a conceptual level for what they are ‘pre-supposed’ to protect.

We’re in the ‘weird’ phase of a new form factor.

There are a few designs that have been interesting. I like weird, but as a steamdeck daily driver, its a pretty good starting point. Hard to improve upon.

Yep.

Mmo game of were wolf or sheriff, but there are goal is to blend in the the NPCs

That being said go ahead and pirate, I’m not your dad

What am I letters on a screen? I’m not going to stop you.

100%

Nintendo is running on good will fumes from previous generations of games. Its basically the same strategy Marvel/ Disney/ Starwars, etc… use with franchise management.

Same opinion. I bought both the original deck and the OLED variant.

I suppose I would entertain things if they came up with some kind of ARM chip more similar to the M series apple silicon, but right now, the thing is BEAST. There is just going to be a limit to how much hardware power and how much battery power can be paired and still keep the thing in the existing form factor.

My current opinion is that right now, its more/ better software that we need. I want a button based key board that works in desktop mode.

So I don’t really see a point in a major update until there is a significant hardware redesign.
