These are awesome! If i can make a suggestion:

Adapters to lock into the jsaux and killswitch mounts! Idk about jsaux but i know that dbrand published 3dp files for theirs!

Not sure if just me but none of your spoiler tags are working lol - im on mobile and using boost though

Make sure to wait 5 minutes after you see them playing a game and open up a new one to kick them off in the middle of what they’re doing

I think i was close to 400 when i started going for completion, and then i played more RIGHT up to the 400 mark and quit until sote, now I’m getting close to 600 and I’m just exploring and fighting hippos, I’m actually really pumped to get into ng+ now, i haven’t done any of that yet for some reason… in ds3 i was like ng10 lol

I would never trust a leaked build pre-launch for performance benchmarking, people doing that are just trying to get clicks.

The dev process is crazy, different for everyone, and that build could have been before a huge performance tuning pass for all we know

so much Elden ring

I love their ultimate controller but heads up in case someone else wants it for dual function… their officially branded “wireless controller FOR XBOX” only supports wired mode on an actual xbox. Bought it for my dad for fathers day, but ended up keeping it myself because of that.

Some regions call them remote.

Funny, my partner always calls the tv remotes “controller” instead, lol

Not gonna downvote you for your personal opinions, but just to throw it out there, its not “edgy 90’s kid” that theyre going for, its that theyre supposed to be robots with the end goal of conquering humanity through capitalism, and they don’t particularly like us

Sd cards aren’t meant to be constantly written to, games are fine by themselves, but the windows OS is CONSTANTLY reading files, making changes, writing logs, deleting temp files, and writing over them, etc.

It won’t happen immediately, and it will depend on the grade SD card you get, but eventually your sd card is going to fail and you’re either going to lose data or your windows install will start chugging cause the SD can’t keep up with the writes anymore. Plus, the SSD will be closer to the bus and get faster r/w anyway.

I assume the people who go around saying its not a problem just got a higher end card or are lucky and haven’t had a problem yet.

Its essentially the same argument as “smoking will give you cancer”

if you really wanted to you could just install Windows 10/11 onto a MicroSD and boot to Windows.

You really shouldn’t. Running dual boot on your ssd is only slightly harder than installing windows, and there are step-by-step guides to show you how

If microsoft would release a gaming handheld, it will probably just be an xbox all together lol

Id say the fiasco with the m1 chip and compatibility is staying their hand pretty firmly lol

Hey that was my last reason to stay locked into nvidia cards, now i can just go for the best price/performance

I was going to build a simple profile manager program to help do this, but never got around to doing it. If anyone else wants to steal it, my idea was:

Steam stores a single file holding each controller layout, it was going to be very jank because directly editing those files is tricky and could break things. Instead, the idea was that you would create a profile in steam’s interface as your default or desktop layout, and then my program would take that layout and back up the file as a different name, then when you wanted to swap between them the program would simply rename the files, all with a barebones ui maybe just displaying the profile names. Would work out of a console window if it weren’t for no keyboard lol

I would hope they’d be able to get that working much more reliably when both ends are known to be their hardware…

But also yeah, IHS is a huge coinflip depending on your home network too

I wouldn’t hate a non-portable steam deck, especially if they can make in-home streaming between the steam machine and the deck seamless

Oh, its only 10% off right now

Tbh i didn’t even look how high the discount was, i knew i wanted the game and it was 13$ so i just went for it lol

I saw a Steam Deck at Disneyland being used to operate “autonomous” robots in Star Wars Land.

I think mkbhd did a video showing that off recently if anyone is curious

Everyone always says balatro and i finally got it on sale and now i can’t stop
