  • Someone said that valve does not want to upgrade the Steamdecks cpu regularly that way it can act as a baseline for games to target.

    I kind of like this approach. I think so many devs focus on making everything bleeding edge when most of us would be happy playing with low settings.

    Maybe the steamdeck will lead to further optimizations to these games down the line and maybe games that are early in development will try to target the steamdeck for the minimum spec.

    Starfield and bg3 were too far along in development when steamdeck game out for them to optimize for it.

    I’ll be happy to see how it runs though.

    Is there any reason to have a Switch and a Steamdeck,

    I’ve been really wanting to get a steamdeck. I’ve been playing a lot on my modded switch, but there is a lot I want to play that is not available on the switch.

    Does anyone have both systems and still use the switch?

    I imagine I can just dump my games and emulate them on the Steamdeck.

    I don’t do anything online, so I can’t imagine I’ll miss out on anything.

    Im an experienced Linux gamer, so im not worried about the Linux side of things.

    I'm playing Twilight Princess for the first time since launch.

    I played this game back when it released on Gamecube. I honestly have almost 0 memories of this game. I only kinda sorta remember a specific room or two and not even well enough to really explain them.

    I am not sure why I do not remember it very well. I remember Majora's mask much better and I had only played that once at launch as well.

    At this point, I have finished the first dungeon and it was pretty easy. I wonder if this game is just an easier game then modern zelda titles. Although, it seems like it is easier than Ocarina. At least so far.

    The enemies feel meatier. Like, they take more damage and don't bounce around as easily. I am not enjoying it as much as I thought i would, but I am going to stick with it.

    I kinda want to play through the 3d zelda games again. I keep trying Majora's mask and then putting it down before I even leave the starting town. I am playing on a PC, but I'd much rather use a steam deck to play as I do not often sit at my PC unless I am working.

    I’ve finally seen everything Trek.

    I first got into trek with the 09 movie. It was a lot better than I expected and a good friend of mine is huge into Trek.

    I decided to give the tv series a try. After being a little unsure what to watch I started with ENT. I figured it’s my first time watching trek and it’s their first time exploring and I liked that parallel. I’ve recently rewatched this series and liked it a whole lot more. This series is much better after having seen at least TNG, DS9 or VOY.

    My watch order, not including new Trek was,

    ENT > TNG > VOY > DS9 > TOS > TAS > PRO > TOS movies.

    I watched all the other new trek stuff as it came out and watched the TNG movies a few months back.

    By far, the TOS movies were the hardest to enjoy. The 2, 3, and 4 movies were decent, but 5 was really bad.

    TOS series was also a little hard to get through. I could only watch a few episodes at a time. Unlike PRO which I watched in a day.

    It’s hard to pick a beat or favorite series, but if you were going to watch one I think

    (Spoilers for Prod and Pic)Just finished Prod and have a thought.

    So the ending of Prod was basically the same as Pic. It’s a little annoying to basically see the same plot in two shows that aired like a year apart.

    Did they ever comment on how similar the endings were?

    TOS - That Which Survives - Does anyone else think that both Kirk and Spock were a bit grocuchy in this episode?

    I just watched this episode the other night and Kirk seems to be annoyed with Sulu, then Spock is like 990.07 light years, not 1000 please be more accurate.

    It felt off for those characters. But maybe it was just late when I watched itS. What do you think?

    I’m having a hard time finding even a place to buy some text book in my country.

    I teach English and I need the Reach Higher G4A level and higher. There used to be a store online, but they were banned. I guess they didn’t sell a legit copy of the book.

    Can anyone recommend some places where I can search for them or even buy them? I’m not in the US.

    I am looking for some text books that I can use to teach English.

    I am trying to find a series of text books that can be used to teach English. I don't mind paying for them, but I can't find a way to purchase them in my country.

    The series I am looking for is Reach Higher, I specifically need the Reach G4A level and higher.

    If anyone has any advise on where/how to get/buy them, please send me a message.

    Anyone still have a 3rd party Reddit app on their phone?

    I see Apollo and I’m not sure if I want to delete it.

    I’m not sure why. I guess I’m kinda hoping there is some update to it that adds some functionality, but I guess that’s not really in the cards.

    Anyone else not deleting their third party app for a reason?

    Replaying Final Fantasy VIII(man the battles are long)

    This game was my first jrpg as a kid. Well after Mario rpg and Pokémon. But I guess it always classified it different as it was a more serious game.

    I was really young so it’s cool to play it now and better understand the story.

    But I did not remember the battles being so long. It seems that every encounter so far has been a really long experience.

    I just graduated seed training, so not to far into the remake. Im not worried about spoilers as I’ve played through this game when it was new, and watched a speed run of it a few years ago.

    What is a good 2 player Tetris these days?

    My wife just got into Tetris and wants to play together. I have been bragging to her about how good I am at Tetris and now she wants to play together

    We would like to play side by side on the TV, but we do not want any of that stuff where if person A does well, then person B gets random blocks.

    Does something like this exist?

    We could play on PC or on Switch.

    What Pokemon Rom hack is best for me?

    I lived Red and Blue as a kid. I think I played Gold on an emulator back in the day.

    I really loved the challenge I had playing Red as a kid. I liked getting through an area with just a few hp left.

    I never got hardcore into the newer games and have been so disappointed with how easy and hand holding the newer games have been.

    I would like to play a romhack. Can someone make a recommendation for me?

    I just heard about and tried Prime Hack. It is pretty cool. It lets you play the prime games with keyboard and mouse, so it feels like a modern FPS.

    I have only played with it for a few minutes as I am about to start work. But it seems really great so far. I need to look into the control scheme to learn some of the controls, but it was not difficult to figure out.

    I think it also supports controllers as well, I will likely play it that way at some point.

    Modern Pokemon games hold your hand too much.

    I am playing Pokemon Violet at the moment and it is a total bore. I have played the game so many times and I just want to run around catch Pokemon and battle.

    I do not need another tutorial about what a Pokemon center is. Or a tutorial to tell me that I need to use a Pokeball to catch a Pokemon.

    Can we get a "I've played this game 100 times" mode where it just saves the tutorials and lets us play the game?

    An argument for USB-C iPhones

    Yes, there are basically no reasons to not move to USB-C. Up until this point, I have been saying that it is a matter of convenience. But it is also economical.

    The other day, my wife and I were out and planned to get lunch and go back home. We had outdoor seating and it was a beautiful day, so she decided to stay and work.

    She did not have her lightning headphones and asked me how much a cheap pair would cost. Well, since it is lightning it would be about 3x as much as a USB-C pair.

    I was so close to just pulling the trigger on an iPhone 13 since my iPhone XR is constantly freezing and has terrible battery life. This instance reaffirmed my decision to wait for a USB-C model iPhone.

    If the iPhone 15 for some reason does not have USB-C or it is wildly expensive, I am just going to get an iPhone 13 and use that until is no longer works.
