Lol, he basically said ‘we indoctrinate them first and then they’ll purchase our more expensive system eventually’

What free healthcare because it sounds like I’ve been fucking doing it wrong this whole time holding down job after SHITTY job since I graduated high school and don’t have shit to show for it. Fuck all the way off attacking the one thing that brings joy to my life you disingenuous piece of shit.

Could you give a reference? I don’t doubt what you’re saying, I just think it would be helpful for people to see it.

Well, my vote is definitely for the best of compilation but either way I’ll still look forward to it 😁

No worries. I don’t think you did anything wrong, I was just trying to share an observation in case it could help 👍

Damn, for half a second I thought that first picture was real. News got me fucked up…
Good to see you still posting these consistently. Most days I just give a thumbs up and move on 👍
Are you going to do a milestone or compilation post when the time comes? Would be cool to see a ‘best of’ or something like that.

Is 70 the new normal then? Was all that theater just to make the <80 price tag seem better?

Hmm, maybe it’s just on my instance, or maybe the app I’m using… 🤷♂️ (Slrpnk.net and Summit, respectively)

Certainly not the first by any means, but I was really impressed with the way that the Ori games handled diving. The omni-directional controls are 🤌

That’s awesome, thanks for sharing!
I’ll be honest, I couldn’t get into it much myself for some reason but I know that it’s pretty well regarded anyway. Keep us updated, if you’d like.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 1 month ago:
Yeah, I didn’t like the shape/feel of the stock sticks either. I never really had any problems with sick drift or anything, but I also didn’t actually own the system for very long either.
To remedy this, I had actually bought some stick caps from skull & co (per recommendations from people on here actually) and they were quite excellent.
- Comment on Steamdeck or.... 1 month ago:
Personally, I didn’t like physically holding the steam deck. In my opinion, it’s much too heavy/bulky and even with a high quality comfort grip It just wasn’t working for me. Ultimately, I ended up going with an Ayn Odin 2 instead and I’ve been enjoying my portable/lounging game time much more now. I do miss the ability to play my steam library though. Even though I can still do this with streaming, I just don’t like streaming games as much. Other than the weight/size/ergonomics, which most people seem to be just fine with, the only other thing I’d mention is that steam’s UI is buggy as hell when you’re browsing around the store. I ended up doing most of my browsing on desktop as a result.
All that being said, you can’t deny the draw of it. Even though it wasn’t for me personally, I still like the system and I’d still recommend it to pretty much anybody. There’s a reason Steam Deck is the champ.
Also, look up retro game corp if you aren’t familiar. He just released a video today called ‘dude, just get a steam deck’

I feel like if it drops that much in one year, it’s probably a pretty shit game anyway right?

- Comment on ZOTAC GAMING ZONE Handheld getting a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 prototype with a Manjaro Linux-based OS 1 month ago:
Hate those sharp looking points on the bottom. Weird looking dpad too, but it might be alright. I wonder what size it will be and how the rest of it is shaped. I’m still waiting for that no compromises small sized handheld pc. The orange pi neo looked like it might have been just that, but seems like it just fizzled out or something.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 doesn't require reflexes, says player who beat the game without dodges or parries 1 month ago:
I got stuck too, for a few rounds at least. I learned you can run past him and there’s a grapple point just past. Nice work finally beating him though!
I meant to mention earlier too, if anyone doesn’t know, there’s also an audio cue as well for the dodge/parry timings.

Oh fuck off with that technicality bs.
Lol
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 doesn't require reflexes, says player who beat the game without dodges or parries 1 month ago:
One of the videos I watched said a good way to get better is to practice timing your dodges on enemies first (since the window is more forgiving), then once you start hitting those ‘perfect’ dodges you can swap over to using the parry mechanic. I’ve managed to get a little better at it since doing that. Admittedly though, some enemies can still be pretty difficult (that trumpet/horn enemy is a fucking asshole…)
