T-Deck Pro

Nintendo diehards are already posting Steam Deck/Switch 2 comparisons on Reddit, so i just wanna say:

Steam Deck

- is a handheld PC. uses Linux but can launch .exe files (including Windows games)

- a Steam account is free. cloud saves are included

- games go on sale often

- you can play your games on multiple devices, back up your files, and copy your save data wherever you want. you can even add mods

- Steam Deck has EmuDeck. also free

- extremely easy emulation for any platform, where emulated games can be launched directly from Steam

- the OLED model in particular is lightweight and easy to hold, but feels sturdier than the OLED Switch

compared to Nintendo

- you don't actually own your games. even most cartridge games require updates to run and save to the Switch's internal memory

- you need a paid subscription to use basic features like cloud saves

- you cannot back up your data in any way

- Nintendo games are often overpriced, never drop in price, and rarely go on sale

- you need constant internet access if you want to play retro games via Nintendo Online

- no emulation. any attempt at modding gets your console banned unless you take very specific precautions

- they are literally planning to charge you to do a tutorial and use a chat feature on the Switch 2

Lower Decks is Over and it's Given Me Hope

It's time for me to admit my greatest shame...

I am in my 30s.

That's right, I'm the weird one who wont get off the internet. I'm supposed to be having kids and working a Job™ and instead I'm on Tumblr, the website that is very much so only populated by minors and not a collection of millennials and gen xers who will never move on.

One of the things I think I have to grapple with the most as an adult is endings. And not "oh god oh god I'm reaching the end" ending, but just stuff like the things I love and had been a constant in my life just... Concluding. Gone. I thought as a Firefly fan I could handle a show being cancelled but fact is I was a fraud, I didn't watch it until it was over.

But I'm talking long running, decade long loves. The things that I couldn't even think about ending. Like fucking Sesame Street.

What I'm saying is Nanami Kento was the realest dude.

The Venture Brothers ended after 15 years. Final Fantasy XIV hit its big ending after 10. Destiny had the best ending it possibly could have had with the Final Shape. Naruto ended for me twice, first the Manga then the Anime. I didn't even watch the Anime, but I watched those final episodes and just like finding out who gave birth to the Venture Bros, and just like watching the credits roll on my Warrior of Light, I felt an immense feeling of catharsis. This was it. It was over. my investment is satisfied.

Here FF14 players might be contractually obligated to post the screenshot after mentioning the screenshot and I don't wanna take chances.

There was a big part of me that thought the reason I had such an emotional reaction to these endings was because of the investment, and that I'd probably never experience anything like it again. I wont have that wave of memories, a joy of seeing however many years of history culminate into one big ending.

So Lower Decks was only like, 3 years old? And as the final minutes of the finale panned over all of the characters on the Cerritos we've grown attached to over the years, I felt the catharsis. I felt that my investment was satisfied.

And I'm going to feel it again, because I was a dumb idiot wrapped up in despair over being officially Old. I didn't feel satisfied by the endings of the things I loved because they were old, I felt satisfied because they were satisfying endings.

So, thanks Lower Decks. I look forward to seeing what replaces you.

why does horizon zero dawn, a game that came out 7 years ago and only got a PC port in 2020 has a remaster in 2024??? this is absurd.

[vestrick]

I finally deep cleaned this and it sounds much better

Funny bouncy lines

(Also weird note that "counter" doesn't count time it just counts up, or down until it reaches 99:99 while a tape plays each tik is also slightly faster than a second?)

Also it is very empty on the inside lol

I got this Kenwood 1050CT from, and i can not stress this enough, a Very heavy smoker so everything including heads and rollers were caked in tar and dirt. I finally got around to opening it up and cleaning it throughly because I was having issues recording and playing from it, now it works very well :3

Stream Deck NEO: Pequeño en Tamaño, Gigante en Potencia

[lizclipse]

there are some games that i think might feel better to play on my switch 1 but the lack of game save backups without paying for NSO is kinda unpleasant and makes me want to not. like instead i could get the games on steam and yeah sure the steam deck isnt as light or slick as the switch 1 but at least valve dont charge you for cloud backups and you can manually backup any save yourself why would i get a lesser version of the same game for slightly more just because the console is a bit thinner?
