I have no experience with Miyoo, but people love their stuff. Personally, I really like everything I’ve gotten from Anbernic. I just bought a couple of their new wireless controllers and they’re great.

Valve have done scummy things, too. But I’m not going to pretend that somehow they’re both equally bad.
- Comment on Remedy Entertainment Has Received A Loan From Tencent 2 months ago:
I’m never giving the company that made billions exploiting the FOMO of children my money. I won’t install the launcher. I don’t didn’t need their free games.
I don’t didn’t care if they can throw their massive pile of Fortnite cash around to give developers more money.
- Comment on Wuthering Waves really, really doesn’t want to run on Steam Deck 6 months ago:
Wondered why I’d never heard of this game. It’s Epic exclusive.

It’s interesting, but I find the sound effects grating.
- Comment on This farming sim sits at the bottom of your screen while you kid yourself you're doing other things 7 months ago:
The idea of this bothers me. It makes me think of the dual videos on Tiktok that people watch because their attention spans have been so blown out by overstimulation that regular videos bore them.
And that’s probably hypocritical of me because I often play a game on one monitor and a video on the other.
I dunno.
- Comment on Favorite games for traveling? 8 months ago:
Same here. My only issue is sometimes I mix up some card suits fyor to the lower resolution and smaller screen size, and because I’m not paying close enough attention, end up playing a high card hand instead a flush.
Might help to turn off the scanline effect.
Otherwise it’s a perfect Deck game.

What’s the story with that one? I’m unfamiliar.

This is a fantastic video essay on the movie and I promise it’s not what you expect.
- Comment on Grindy games on Deck 10 months ago:
I attempted to do that once. I got a couple hours into calculating exactly what all I needed before giving up. Especially after figuring out it’s not even the best way to make money in the game. But I’ve also spent hours and hours designing and building bases just for fun, so I get it.

That post is full of “I’m very smart” phrases that betray them. Gems such as the larger the angle, the larger the protractor you’d need to measure it
- Comment on Discovery Channel’s ‘Shark Week’ Is Packed With Misinformation and Junk Science Scientists watched 202 episodes and found them filled with unreliable information 11 months ago:
I swore them off after the fake mermaid “documentary” that had the fakest, ugliest CGI they tried to pass off as real.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Agreed on all points. I loved Reddit and had a long lived account with a decent amount of comment karma. I dropped it cold turkey when the API change happened.
Never had any real run ins with mods even though I had arguments with other users pretty regularly. I acted in good faith and tried to be helpful as much as possible.
Most subreddits were fine. If you got banned all over the place, it says more about you than it does Reddit.
- Comment on I feel like I need a separate body towel (big towel), and 3 other small towels for hair, face, and hands. 4 towels in total. Is that normal? 1 year ago:
This is my worry, also. These are not normal thoughts.
- Comment on RetroDECK 0.7.4b - Released! 1 year ago:
On the wiki, the “what is retrodeck” explains it, but it shines your familiar with similar software. It lists some Linux OSs geared towards emulation. I think if you want to get the gist of what it is, look at Batocera.
But yeah, it seems the general idea is it’s a frontend to put all the emulators in one UI.
- Comment on What reviews didn't say about the Steam Deck OLED 1 year ago:
I’m so happy with my Stream Deck. The improvements are so nice, but I’m not going to upgrade. But it means you get an even better version. So you’ll love it, I’m sure.
