Stuff got too easy to really have to delve into a deeper understanding, most of the time, now. No jumpers, no dip switches, no pre-loading drivers or plugs that can be plugged into places they shouldn’t get plugged into. Everything is color coded and plug n play. You don’t have to dive in and assign com ports or anything.

I learned as I went because I wanted to get shit to work and that took a lot of educating to get there. Now, most of the time the situation doesn’t come up, so that deeper understanding is a building block that just got skipped over. The offshoot is that when the more rare occasion arises that a deeper understanding is required, it’s usually got a person way behind the 8 ball to be able to recognize and fix the issue.

I’m really looking forward to playing the 2016 (ish?) version of Spiderman here in the next year or so.

Shoot. My back log on games is so big, I can be happy with this one for another 5 years before I’d need something with more power.

Ublock on Firefox still leaves it work great, actually. I use it like 95% of the time, still. Just don’t touch it without.

Legal in the US. I think this guy is in Brazil.

Which is all that would happen if third parties decide they don’t like the terms that valve and them agreed to.

Valve just doesn’t allow cheaper prices from other storefronts if it’s a steam key being sold, where valve is the one footing the bill for the server costs. There are games for sale on epic all the time that are better deals than what’s on steam. But when you buy a game on epic, you’re using epics servers/bandwidth.

Except that’s not really true. Or at least a half truth.

Steam prevents publishers from selling steam keys through other sites and means for less money. Publishers and other distributors are able to sell their games as cheap as they want anywhere they want. They just can’t sell it dirt cheap somewhere and then use valves steam program and bandwidth to download and play the game.

I just meant more like the resolution.

Supposedly, the SD didn’t get an oled screen because it was a bit less power efficient. Oled saves power when there’s blacks on the screen, and most games don’t have much black.

To me, that is sure evidence that it will be the normal screen in the next deck. I’m guessing a summer 2025 release. Resolution Will make it just perfect enough to make tiny text readable, which is the only thing the current stock screens need. Reading texts in games like witcher 3 are a bit of a pain. Have to set up magnification stuff on the right touch pad.

It’s my main gaming device. I love the thing, and if you take the time to really understand and use the massive amount of control and gyro options it’s crazy how good the controls can be for so many different games. Way better than any console, and often nicer than keyboard/mouse. The borderlands games with gyro aiming is the best way to play, hands down. I’ve also heard high praise on some rts strategy builder games with gyro mouse functions. A genre I didn’t think would work well at all without a keyboard and mouse.

Shit yeah it is. I’m nearing the end of my latest playthrough. I probably only have another 40 hours to go!

My time and ability to game has led me to almost exclusively play on my steam deck, and I now game a lot more than I’ve gotten to in a decade.

For the past couple of years (I upgraded to the OLED) I’ve pretty much only purchased/played games that will play well on the SD.

I like many games that are really only suited to a bigger screen or mouse/keyboard, but not enough to get any of them, because I know I won’t be able to play them consistently enough to even remember what was going on since I’d played last.

What if you include the switch games it can play? Hehehe

Actually (even though you sound sarcastic, for the most part), you can buy windscribe on the Google play store. I use the Google rewards apk that gives me bits of change for for use in the play store by taking pictures of receipts or answering surveys. I earn more than $30 a year doing that, and so that’s how I get my windscribe vpn. So, yeah. You can do it without any money.

Windscribe is cheap. Just buy it. Like $30 a year.

Shit. Empress finally up and quit? Or got paid enough by denuvo?

Almost all I do is torrent from mobile.

I use windscribe vpn and enable the setting to block all data not going though it, so there can’t be an accidental leak, and I use the apk Flood to manage my torrents, as it has a lot of nice options and allows me to download files to any folder I’d like.

I own a nice gaming PC. I just never really use it now that I have my SD. Veing able to game anywhere and immediately stop and start my game back up by just tapping the power button is exactly what I needed for gaming. As a “responsible” adult I don’t have a lot of undisturbed straight lengths of time to game at the pc, and if I only have 30 minutes, it’s like it isn’t even worth trying.

These aren’t even games they (warn a brotha) own. Just a handful of games released through adult swim made and owned by other people.
