- Comment on A few questions before getting a used Steam Deck after my wedding 22 hours ago:
Out of topic but oof it pains me in my joints seeing Metro games labeled as retro.
- Comment on Steam deck OLED 1TB or Asus ROG Ally X with Bazzite? 4 weeks ago:
My fellow human you are asking this question in a Steam Deck community, of course the people are saying that you should get the Deck. I’m going to be a little against the grain here and recommend you to get the Ally X.
Let me explain, most of the issue that people have with the OG Ally has been solved with the Ally X. It basically has a much better build quality than the OG Ally. With it’s 24 GB RAM it’s going to be much more future proof and the battery now is basically on par with Deck.
With Bazzite you can get better watt-to-watt performance with the Deck and the VRR works wonder when you’re streaming with Moonlight and Apollo because the stream will be much smoother.
However, if you have the money to spare, try buying both and see which one you like better and return the one you didn’t use.
Another option would be wait a little bit longer because the Z2 Extreme handhelds are coming in the next couple of months.
- Comment on Smart devices are turning out to be a poor investment 1 year ago:
Google has this culture that you need to make something to be something, usually someone will have an idea to make a product, then the product is quite successful and they get promoted away from managing that product.
Then someone gets assigned to manage that product, since that someone new also wants to make “something” to be something, they put their own spin on that product.
Since they’re not the one who made the product in the first place, they missed what made the product great.
This causes the product to lose quality, and therefore the user base. With a reduced user base, there’s no justification to keep the product alive, so Google pulled the plug on the product.
It’s a vicious cycle that results in a lot of things made and killed by Google.
- Comment on Dell tells remote workers that they won’t be eligible for promotion 1 year ago:
My work has become one of the few places that’s still fully remote and it got so competitive my boss is having a field day in recruitment. The standards got so high I don’t even think I can still get in if I applied today. The big tech layoffs certainly didn’t help.
- Comment on Dell tells remote workers that they won’t be eligible for promotion 1 year ago:
Working remotely made me realize that I wasted 4 hours every day on the commute. It made me able to work, spend time with my family, AND still have a hobby.
- Comment on Fallout TV Show - Trailer 1 year ago:
The last three books are after a time skip and with a new set of main characters, right?
- Comment on Fallout TV Show - Trailer 1 year ago:
From what I’ve read about the series it’s actually set 4 years after Fallout 4 events. So it’s more “side stories in the setting” rather than straight up adaptation.
- Comment on The Steam Deck's budget price tag is the reason I still rate it nearly two years on 1 year ago:
Sadly this is not applicable in my country. If you want to get a Steam Deck unfortunately you’ll need to shell out more money compared to buying a PS5 or an Xbox Series X.
