Running the version that boots into big picture with a Radeon card has been fantastic, however the Nvidia desktop version has left a sour taste in my mouth.

And here I am still very happy with my $350 steam deck purchase and 2tb ssd upgrade. 🤷‍♂️

Okay, but can I promote Harry Kim?

”That guy” is the one banned. “The brother” is the King.

Yeah, don’t buy an HP. Love my Brother laser printer though.

I drive a Kia EV6, and love it. Kia pushes like 2 OTAs per year for updates and small bug fixes, but hasn’t rolled out any new features. They have a premium connectivity package, but nothing but remote bells and whistles are behind it.

I use my phone for the infotainment via CarPlay.

My phone acts like a phone, and my car acts like a car.

Now, the reason I have an EV6? I was a happy Chevy Bolt owner looking for a newer vehicle and was eyeing the Equinox EV. I noped out as soon as they announced the Google partnership and decided to remove CarPlay and BYOD as a feature.

The two things that will turn me off from a future purchase is lack of CarPlay, or paywalled “hardware” upgrades, like performance tweaks or locking out something installed like heated seats. Nope.

I can wait to play this on PC. I’m due for a dread replay though, perhaps after I complete Silksong.

There was a prime 3? After reading your post, I recall 1 and 2. 3 escapes me, although I must have completed it…

I have to disagree. Honestly, I have no issue with any multiplayer game taking basic anti-cheat measures, a few people causing chaos on the weekend can ruin a game for a bunch of kids.

But, there’s a difference between common sense anti cheat, and kernel level observation and manipulation.

Now that’s one fit girl.

“Fingerprints.”

“No thanks.”

When was the last time you used Big Picture? I have a micro ITX build hooked up to my TV running Bazzite desktop, and have Big Picture loading at boot.

It’s a console. And it’s fantastic. It also lets me mod it so I can make it look like a Wii U if I wanted.

Everyone, go update your 2003 forum avatars.

My friend, most people weren’t using PNG in 2003, especially for forum avatars. They were glitchy on browsers (IE) for almost a decade after that.

Ah, so the Model S.

So many words for what’s essentially a 2 sentence story.

Despite the obvious political divide in the US, part of it might be that you can’t tune it or mod it yourself.

Think of them as gaming PCs in terms of customization and performance options. I know people who rebuilt their cars over and over, and even tweak the most minor injection timing to get the most out of it.

Outside of a Plaid or anything in that ballpark, a custom built ICE Mustang will probably smoke something like a EV6 GT in a quarter mile by a second or two. If you could realistically rebuild and mod your EV6 it might be a different story, but instead you get drift mode on that specific model because an executive deemed it so. In this sense the EV6 is a Chromebook. The Mustang runs Linux. The car guys are nerds.

I’m in your camp, I fucking love not having a transmission and being “speedy” in all of my practical daily driving. I’ll never rebuild a Mustang, but if there were an open sourced EV I could mod I’d be there in a heartbeat - and I bet some car guys might come over too.

At a glance I see Spock, Superman, Einstein, and Mr. Miyagi in the cell as well.

You guys have work printers?

Just playing, I have a Brother color laser printer. Had it for about 7 years, replaced the toner only once, prints fantastically. I mostly use it as a scanner and printing coloring pages for the kid.

You got Jazz Jackrabbit to run on the steam deck? I tried to install everything GOG had available (including 2) and had no success with heroic. Teach me your ways.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think I have one of those from a humble bundle, I’ll have to check it out again (it’s been a while). The main thing I’m looking for is a kid friendly “auto steer / auto accelerate” mode that still gives him some sense of control. I noticed a lot of Nickelodeon, licensed games don’t include any voice acting, which irritates me, but the kiddo probably won’t mind.
