To be fair, as long as the batteries are easily replaceable and don’t degrade destructively, it might age better than the original Mindstorms components which are a PITA to use today.
Then again, plain ABS at worst yellows under too much UV.

If obly there were such things as battery packs.
- Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet 5 days ago:
Not with that attitude.

OK, looks like they actually integrated the speaker, which wasn’t clear at the initial reveal. That’s an improvement. The rest of the sensors fit in basically zero space, so that’s not so impressive, especially since a 2x4 brick has about triple the internal volume as a 2x2 slope brick.
Doesn’t have … LEDs … color
It’s a 72x40 OLED display, so that’s actually 2,880 LEDs, on the order of 1,000× as many LEDs as a single RGB LED.
It can also play Doom.

Turns out there’s not actually much functionality in these at all. An RFID reader and an RGB LED, whoop-de-shit.
Here’s an example of what cutting-edge brick tech could look like.
- Comment on You can’t replace the battery in Lego’s Smart Bricks — and many of its sensors aren’t available yet 5 days ago:
Yeah, I was really expecting some Mindstorms-level magic when I saw the first announcement teasers. The fact that it’s just an RFID reader with some LEDs is beyond disappointing.

No, nobody ever needs Docker.

You’re not really selling it. Fucking up my gaming system with Docker bloat is that last thing I’d want.

Support the vast majority of titles with minimal friction right out of the box.
I don’t want to have do dick around and tweak shit when I want to relax with a video game; I’ve got plenty of other Linux boxes for tinkering. I want to be able to slap an OS on a PC and have it be Steam Deck But Bigger.
- Comment on [Deck] A Linux Power User Puts SteamOS To Work 2 months ago:
Can’t wait for full-fledged Steam OS for general PCs.

My Steam Deck has neither a large screen nor surround sound, nor is it a standalone controller

And people who use controllers in general. And people with small screens. And people with poor vision. And …

Please believe it when a seasoned professional informs you that ingesting user feedback, implementing good UIs, and optimization are all hard work.

That … that’s the hard work.

Read the article - this isn’t just about Linux support.

Working harder on your game makes it better! Wow!
But seriously, it’s great that Valve is leading the way pushing demand for this.

So what is the right stick for?
- Comment on Steam Controller 3 months ago:
Sounds like lot more work than “move stick left, guy go left”
- Comment on Steam Controller 3 months ago:
Super weird to me. I can’t imagine playing DOOM like that.
- Comment on Steam Controller 3 months ago:
That sounds like too much cognitive load. Stick go left, guy go left.
- Comment on Steam Controller 3 months ago:
You use both thumbsticks for identical movement control?
- Comment on Steam Controller 3 months ago:
This is wild to me. Holding my arms perfectly still is practically impossible for me. The idea of a game using my pose and unconscious arm movements as input is positively gameplay-wrecking.

They’re just lazy now because storage is (relatively) cheap.

This looks like it’s actually 3D. Combined with modern sounds and music, probably a rather large library of textures regardless of resolution, and modern programming “sensibilities,” that’s what you get.
Wolf3D fit on a floppy.
