  I still think this would be a great way to get a list of people sent to the proper medical care that might not be smart enough to, you know, be allowed to do some things.

  Maybe in the future stupidity/gullibility should be treated like mental illnesses. Not to discriminate or put down the questionable people, but to guide and educate them in a way that they can’t severely mess up society just because they outnumber reasonably intelligent people.

  It’s really hard to write that thought without it coming across as some sort of discrimination, which it isn’t meant to be.

  When it pops fully, can we call it Karmageddon?

  Would it be safe to assume their processor/gpu magic that brought us the deck has advanced enough since then to compensate?

  I’m no hardware guru, but wouldn’t it be possible to use a swap file or other methods to simulate extra ram if optimized and efficient enough?

  I am not a follower of his, but I am certainly an advocate for de-<insert mega tech company name here>ing having just finally rid myself of Micros**t, which was preceded by getting rid of almost all of the family streaming subs.

  The Steamdeck is actually a great device for this simply because it is a very functional pc in desktop mode. Throw in a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, with even a generic dock and it can rival most laptops, especially with the added video capabilities it already has.

  I find myself using it as a pc almost as much as a gaming device, just because it works so well for both.
