Gogo Sempai

Until hardware manufacturers like Nvidia and Intel start getting thirsty and lock features behind a subscription :/ Only $10.99 a month to use those RTX cores, $7.99 for DLSS.

I was shocked when my friend from India told me that for 400 Mbps up and down, he pays only $14/month. Limit: 3.3 TB per month.

High on Life!

CS:Go has some pretty unwelcoming and newbie-haters out there.

High on Life and Arkham Asylum. Also CS:Go but that’s an everlasting game.

It’s definitely not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s entirely possible. That is why Valve put those trackpads in even though it would have been cheaper to just leave them out. Two giant trackpads take precious real estate in such a small form factor after all.

Yeah trackpad alone doesn’t do much. Not even 10% of what Trackpad + Gyro can. And don’t forget the back buttons, they’re extremely important as well. Because you can map actions like jump and crouch to them making sure that both your thumbs are over the trackpad/stick all the time. At least in competitive game, moving your thumb away from the trackpad even for a second can be catastrophic.

I’m not kidding you, I play CS:Go on my Steam Deck using Trackpad + Gyro + Back Buttons and crush matches with it. It had a learning curve but after a day or two of adjustments, I was getting the same ranks and scores I used to with a mouse and a keyboard. So my suggestion would be trackpads over flick stick. I’ve tried flick stick for CS:Go but it just didn’t feel natural.

CS:Go for multiplayer :) It took me a while to build a very accurate control scheme using the touchpads, gyro and back buttons; everything had to be tuned multiple times. But once I was done, I stopped playing CS:Go on my PC. It may sound unbelievable to the uninitiated but you can get the same level of performance on the Deck in a competitive FPS (my rankings and #headshots hasn’t taken a hit). The point is, don’t sleep on the touchpads and gyro!
