Man I really like the scene for it’s dark humor but it’s so hard to watch, lol.

Game overall is fantastic though! Definitely good with a significant other.

Yeah… that was a fun surprise for us.

True about that stand alone nature, and I think they like to argue it let’s you play mouse based games (which is true but I still like a mouse, haha).

I think a pocket version would be to at least rework it. How it does that, I’m not sure, though… PS Vita had a weird touch screen back plate, but that kind of sucked. Maybe a touch pad along the sides? Idk. But of joystick, dpad and touch pad, I think the former two win for gaming on average.

Haha, usually a smaller screen means cheaper prices… but obviously they’d need to setup the manufacturing and supply chains and whatnot. Having cracked mine open, I know it really wouldn’t be hard with parts they already use (it’s already very thin and efficient).

They are just really stubborn about the track pads… and given Valves lack of hierarchical structure, it’s hard for someone on their team to nix a feature as anyone involved and veto that decision.

But man, I’d buy so many as gifts— well, one or two, but good enough!

I didn’t think Valve even expected this level of success, given previous flops. The company is a tad disorganized though, I don’t see them taking full advantage of it or offering a real sequel or alternative sizes anytime soon. (My wife requires a lite version, like Switch sized, cause admittedly the deck is a bit of a behemoth and she admittedly has tiny Asian girl hands.)

Apparently it’s a feature and not a bug (they didn’t let me return her, even for hospital store credit). I heard there are preventative measures available, though… ifixit brand condoms?

I second this! My decks screen got cracked for… probably toddler related reasons… and I was able to get everything to repair it no problem.

Wasn’t terribly cheap though, I hope ifixit can score a partnership with a shipping company or something cause shipping adds up fast if you, say, mess up the two sided adhesive… for toddler related reasons… and need a quick second order of just the adhesive.

Yeah, that’s one I personally am a little shy to play (did so anyway, they have an interesting mechanic I like).

Bullying might not have been the right word, but the more problematic game was that Harry Potter game, a couple people we knew were pretty against against it at the time cause of J.K. It’s water under the bridge now, but I see the desire to maybe not broadcast it.

Y’all laugh about the obvious h-game hiding but a friend of mine got bullied for a certain game he bought and played. It’s actually kind of useful next time you wanna play a game someone shits on you over.

I wouldn’t feel remorse over that, you joined the cool gamers club and that’s what matters! Did you at least get the 20% off they were pushing here and there?
