There’s no big reason why remapping couldn’t be done in a way that doesn’t require actively running software on the host machine. QMK, the open source firmware for keyboards has had this for years. You can update your keymap with an online editor, but once it’s flashed, your mappings will be remembered regardless of which computer/phone/whatever you use the keyboard with - without having to run any software besides the OS on the host.

Dumbest shit I’ve heard this week.

Switches that last forever would be interesting. Subscription models and sw updates for a mouse are the very opposite of interesting. I’d pay not to have either.

Old news. They already fixed Steam Deck compatibility.

Factorio was inspired by Minecraft mods BuildCraft and IndustrialCraft, but yeah, few games have done what Factorio has, and those that have tried never quite reached it’s level. Sure, there are games that feature automation with complex recipes (Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program, Shapez), but only Factorio actually managed to pull off a sense of exponential scale.

Palworld is a popular monster catching and survival game that has sold over 5 million copies since its release. However, the game’s developers have received death threats from upset Pokémon fans who believe the monster designs have been plagiarized from Pokémon. The CEO of Palworld’s studio addressed these threats on Twitter, asking people to stop harassing the development team. While some clear similarities exist between Palworld and Pokémon monsters, the future of the game still looks bright if technical issues can be resolved and new content added over time. Overall, Palworld seems to have found great commercial success, but its popularity has also led to some unfortunate harassment of its creators from a minority of Pokémon fans.

Are you aware that Pokemon pretty much “stole” the creatures from Dragon Quest - an RPG from 1986?

You can buy all sorts of stuff if you have money burning in your pocket, but as far as essential goes, you’ve already got it all.

That said, you might want to get a multipurpose USB-C dongle, for connecting the deck to an external display, keyboard, mouse, ethernet and such. The Deck Dock is okay, but there are cheaper options with the same functionality.
