My family culture as a child was that sleep is sacred. If there were plans and places to go, but someone was tired and fell asleep on the sofa, then the light would be switched off, a blanket fetched, no one else goes in the lounge and the plans got delayed or cancelled.
Now I’ve married a woman who wakes me up to ask me if I’m sleeping.

I advocate separate duvets. My wife won’t agree.
The romantics never said anything about the farts on thighs and I did not consent to being in anyone else’s Dutch oven.
- Comment on Why doesn't Steam support Android? 1 week ago:
Ideas like this haven’t come up for the first time. I expect this idea occurred to Valve and they thought it was not worth the investment of money/manpower/infrastructure.
Valve would either have to publish on Google Play. That would put it in the role of a developer and Valve is not really pushing on its developer role significantly.
Or Valve will have to try to make an alternative store… And that is no small feat. Most people will not sideload apps or install other store fronts. I imagine the proportion of android game sales that Valve can get into will be tiny enthusiast communities, and that won’t be anywhere near enough to pay the bills. On this alternative store, Valve will have to get developers to make games…or again they will have to consider developing games in house to get the ball rolling. Their best bet would likely be to use their existing IP to make mobile spin-offs (DotA card game? Or a wild-rift type MOBA? CS:GO turn based tacticle game? Or try to compete with CoD for the FPS market?).
I can’t see any combination of the above that seem like probable success for Valve. It’s admirable that they’re sticking to their niche and what they know. Pushing further into the handheld gaming and console market has been a much better option for them and they’re trying hard. Even in that aspect, the Steam Deck is universally praised…and is selling roughly 2.5% as many consoles as the Nintendo Switch. And no one I know IRL knows about the Steam Deck (other than my brothers, who bought one after I told them I had pre-ordered mine).

What a non-story. “That thing they said they were doing, they’re still doing it”. Cool.

My younger one (4) gets scared by Bowser and comes to me. I have to do the same stages over and over for him. But he’s getting better.
The older one (6 now) finished Super Hexagon (all stages) and Ori to 100% completion at the age of 4. He used to ask for help with the last stage of Super Hexagon… That was way beyond my abilities. Really need to get this kid onto Street Fighter to male use of these skills.

You know you shouldn’t joke about these things. These are very serious matters. You’re very luck and privileged, but some people really struggle. We’ve tried our best to provide you with everything and give you a comfortable life, but don’t forget how hard others have it. You don’t appreciate all this or appreciate us. We still need to talk about your grades by the way.

I haven’t tried Winlator myself.
Less demanding Switch games work fine. The Retroid Pocket 5 would have better performance and there are videos on youtube with game demonstrations to see performance.

Android tablet with built-in controller?
Yes
Does it run (x64) PC games
There’s Winlator, but you’ve gotta manage your expectations for the performance you expect for PC games.
(arm) Android games and emulators
Primarily this

Lemmy is fragmented and I don’t know if posts get visitbility across communities. It seems Lemmy.world gets more engagement and that should be the primary place to post. It’s a shame that cross posts don’t bring everyone to the same commenting area to engage with each other.

PSP had so many great games. I’ve got China Town Wars, Rock Band, Wipeout Pure, Patapon, Mercury Meltdown, Final Fantasy Tactics…and really wish I had the time to get to all of these.

AliExpress is really good and reliable now. I get plenty of stuff off there. Linus Tech Tips even recommends it as one of the best places to pick up a bargain on a desktop CPU. They give you a refund if items are undelivered. I look for items with plenty of pictures and detailed descriptions and picture reviews, and I’ve never been disappointed.
The other thing is that lots of deals end up being discussed on HotUKDeals.com and forum users will report back (e.g. cuing a Crucial NVME drive for £30 and posting speed tests and that it’s the real thing).

Pocketability is the biggest bonus for me. This doesn’t replace my Steam Deck, it supplements my gaming by making games available in situations where I can’t carry around a giant Deck.
The other issue is that my 4 yr old son has really gotten into gaming (Mario Odyssey) and takes the Deck off me a lot of the time 😄

I thought it would be perfect for the Mrs, but she’s refused saying she going to end up staying up way too late because she gets addicted to games 😆
The only thing you’ve got to be cautious about is localised save files of you haven’t set up something like syncthing for backup.

You’re right, ergonomics aren’t great, but I’m fine with that because it prioritises portability. Better ergonomics can be added with the grip attachment. Although I have giant hands and I’m OK playing extended periods without grips.

Yes, Switch Emulation. The emulation app is called Sudachi (works better than Yuzu).
