Can I persuade you towards a Steamdeck?
Main thing with those is a lack of extensibility and support from Chinese management.
At worse you buy one of those, find its limits and then upgrade to something else and use it for homelabing.

- Comment on New Valve trademark for 'Steam Frame', looks like we're getting new hardware 1 week ago:
I know absolutely nothing about what I’m about to say.
But I wonder if VR having 2 actual physical displays makes handoff between devices less complicated.
- Comment on Is Hollow Knight Silksong's 'cheap' price a problem for other indie games? Devs and publishers weigh up its impact | Eurogamer 1 week ago:
Don’t think it was ever mentioned it’d be final. Just that they’d be more focused on their other game’s development and not to expect any more until it was finished.
Anyhow - the dev has recently mentioned an update is coming.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
Is 825GB a common size? Is there any logic to where that being picked came from?
- Comment on How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them 1 week ago:
They can be targeted. A group was monitoring my social media and targeted my grandparents for money with specific information.
- Comment on "There will be a Stardew Valley 1.7 update": Creator ConcernedApe confirms another update to the immortal life sim hot off a new Haunted Chocolatier tease 1 week ago:
I had just finished reading a Steam thread on why a game didn’t have a female option.
If I ever create a game I’m making the protagonist a slug or alien or something.
- Comment on Hypothetically, if you have memory problems and need to write down events, is there a system which you can verify that its not tampered with? (Like a digital checksum, but for a journal) 1 week ago:
Does an immutable password protected journal suffice? Or do you need the ability to edit past entries? Or do others need the ability to read entries without the password?

- Comment on Paradox are "making adjustments" to Bloodlines 2's day-one vampire clan DLC plans, following backlash 2 weeks ago:
Good to hear.
To save anyone from digging for more details – “making adjustments” was all the info that was given by a trusted source in a community message in their Discord.
- Comment on Hot Seat Advert 2 weeks ago:
Is leaning forward to go forward the natural expectation here or were you able to invert vertical axis?
- Comment on If you are paying to use "AI", who are you paying and what are your regular usecases? 2 weeks ago:
Claude Code Jetbrains AI Open Router
The usual Dev work. Claude is primary. Jetbrains is on the fence but can be nice for autocompletes and backup. OpenRouter is for API/script usages.

May I ask why you went with a different developer name from your previous game?

Scented markers maybe. Were scented erasers a thing?
- Comment on Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Pre-Order Trailer 3 weeks ago:
I was going to say – It’s almost offensive they even offered it. I know it has a bit of a fanbase but it’s been through the ringer trying to get out.
- Comment on monthly challenge 3 weeks ago:
We’re probably talking about dollar menus, gas station food and Cicis pizza buffet.

- Comment on I drew it here Late Stage Of Capitalism. 3 weeks ago:
Not really a Star Trek fan but I had to lookup what happened between now and a UBI existence… and – as I kind of expected – we’re screwed.
- Comment on What are some good "frugal" movie viewing setups? (Recommendations) 4 weeks ago:
I have a 50ft HDMI cable that I snake from a laptop near my couch to a ~32in(?) TV and use as a second monitor.
For audio I have a pair of noise canceling Bluetooth headphones.
