Good thing IDGAF about Internet points then I suppose!

Unless it tickles my loin-goblin and makes me a sandwich while I’m using it, there’s no way I’m paying that much when my 10 year old, $25 controller still works fine.

Would it be safe to assume their processor/gpu magic that brought us the deck has advanced enough since then to compensate?

I’m no hardware guru, but wouldn’t it be possible to use a swap file or other methods to simulate extra ram if optimized and efficient enough?

I am not a follower of his, but I am certainly an advocate for de-<insert mega tech company name here>ing having just finally rid myself of Micros**t, which was preceded by getting rid of almost all of the family streaming subs.

The Steamdeck is actually a great device for this simply because it is a very functional pc in desktop mode. Throw in a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, with even a generic dock and it can rival most laptops, especially with the added video capabilities it already has.

I find myself using it as a pc almost as much as a gaming device, just because it works so well for both.

I’m not advocating for the US. The idea of arguably the most aggressive regimes in the world somehow coordinating the timing of their next big moves is just a bit terrifying to me.

I agree with you, but my tinfoil hat is telling me to dig a shelter, preserve food and start making ammo. You know, for game hunting.

I keep getting this sinking feeling that this is all leading up to a precise and coordinated attack of evil.

Russia bombards the EU, the US attacks Greenland and Canada, while Israel finally bulldozes Gaza and Iran. China takes Taiwan and the south sea.

All at the same time so NATO is overwhelmed and can’t decisively defend it all without risking spreading too thin. No matter what happens, one of the bad guys gains ground.

I honestly have no idea if this is even possible, it’s based on a dream I had a few weeks ago.

Disturbing thought though.

Forest fires are no joke.

Prepare. Stay informed. Listen to the authorities.

If they tell you to leave your home and evacuate, leave.

Probably totally unrelated, but I find it interesting that Canada suddenly lifts the electricity surcharge right when the US suddenly decides to support Ukraine again.

Like I said, most likely totally unrelated, but the timing is a bit suspect. That surcharge of 25% would have netted Ontario something like 400K a day from the US. Not economy ending, however I can imagine a lot of residents and business owners in the affected states would be mega unhappy about it.
