  About time! Although now I’m left wondering how long until the Deck 2 comes arrives and whether I’d be better off waiting.

  Dumb article title. I thought the trailer also showed some pretty tight writing that nails the Indiana Jones vibe pretty damn well.

  “Megacorp siphons more money from customers to fuel never ending hunger for profit!”

  “Gorgeous“?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Remote control is the fiddly bit with the Pi. You can use a wireless mouse but it’s a bit meh. I’m just waiting for the day for someone to solve that dilemma, then our “smart” TVs are being forcibly made “dumb”.

  If you enjoyed the first you will enjoy the second. It’s not quite as good but it’s still a fun ride.

  Yeah this smells a lot like “old man angry things aren’t the same any more”.

  Anyone spending money on a game to play on a deck is spending money in the “PC” games market.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[@GamersNexus] They Changed Everything: Valve Steam Deck OLED vs. LCD Tear-Down⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I said it was a joke.

  I also specified PC games, which is the only market Valve cares about, and in which Australia spends more money than Japan. Add in localisation and other impediments to getting into the Japanese market and no, it’s not obvious at all.

  Valve were fined $3M a few years back for lying to consumers about their rights to refunds per Australian law so it is an ongoing joke that Gave now hates Australia and refuses to sell the Deck here as punishment.

  That said it isn’t an entirely business-led decision to not sell here. Australians spend more on PC gaming than Japan.

  Pro consumer behaviour like refusing to sell the Deck in Australia because of our Consumer protection laws?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve: don’t expect a faster Steam Deck ‘in the next couple of years’⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  As an Australian, I’m not expecting a Steam Deck at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over 11,000 games now rated Steam Deck Playable⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  And yet exactly 0 Steam Decks are available for purchase in Australia.
