I have thousands of hours in the game. It's one of my all time favorites!

The other commenter is unfortunately (partially) right and PoE is owned by Tencent. I haven't noticed any quality drop though, I still think they are making a great game. I definitely haven't spent as much money on it in the last few years though

Oh fuck, is PoE supposed to be free? I've spent like $1000 on it in the last 10 years in cosmetics, stash tabs, and character slots.

I was just trying to be helpful. Some people might not know you can connect a Bluetooth keyboard to the device.

I don't know of any system that does a better job of typing with a controller than the Steam Deck with the touch pads. Granted, I'm not a console gamer so I have no idea what typing on the current gen Xbox or PlayStation is like, but I can't imagine it's better than the Steam Deck.

You can also just get an actual Bluetooth keyboard and it should just work.

That's nearly 30 years. Do you have an extra 0 in there?

I have a few thousand hours in PoE, the last few hundred have been on the Steam Deck.

Honestly, it's pretty great. Some builds might not work as well though.

Trading is pretty rough though, which is a pretty important part of endgame PoE.

I have a 64gb with a large sd card. My recommendation is to get a 256gb. You will feel space starved with installing different versions of Proton, the shader cache(?), and the emulated Window's user folders.

If you get the 64gb you basically have to get an sd card. If you get bigger then you might not ever have to if you play relatively small games and you don't mind managing installed games.

Anecdotally, I felt the meds that I got during the shortage 6 or so months ago weren't as effective.

I think they do degrade, but I have no sources. I think I asked my psychiatrist at one point and he said that it usually isn't a concern.

I'm taking concerta, not Adderall, if that makes a difference.

Yeah, you're right. The actual quote is subscriptions, not subscribers.

“We are happy to report that we had an all-time revenue record in Services during the June quarter, driven by over 1 billion paid subscriptions, and we saw continued strength in emerging markets thanks to robust sales of iPhone,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO.

It's probably against their TOS, so they could ban the account. It's not illegal. I would say it's pretty gray morally, since it would probably be bought by an entity that will pretend to be a real person to sell product or spread misinformation.

ITT: people that don't know what completely harmless means

A little late to the party. I was on board with defederating until I read this comment on another instance's meta community and it completely changed my mind.

tl;dr: Defederating doesn't benefit us at all and just makes more users move to Threads, or at least an instance that hasn't defederated.

I could've sworn the Council of Elrond took months, I just looked it up and it was only a day. Maybe I got it confused because it took me months to read the chapter.

I'm sexually attracted to steam.

That's cool. But wait until you find out about steam, that's hot.

As a dad with young children it's amazing. I've convinced both my brothers to get one and several of my coworkers.

Even if you don't have kids, being able to watch TV with the wife on the couch and play games is awesome.

I have a Google Pixel 6a. It's probably pretty close to what you want from a iPhone Mini. It's still a bit bigger than the iPhone Mini and I would like an even smaller version.

Maybe to 3 or 4, but I don't think their brains are developed enough for more than that.

Yeah, Mario Odyssey
