That looks like the email you get when you initially reserve it. I think we're looking for the email subject line for the "Its time to buy it" email so we don't miss it. I'm interested in that one too.

On the initial Steam Deck, there was a popup in Steam itself as well when it was time to buy, i'd be curious if that's still the case.

This is mostly what it's designed for, peak capitalism. If it weren't for the scam concerns presented by the fact that this is a spot in line and not actually a real product sale, eBay would want to have more of this.

LTT got a bit of a guess from Valve, the estimate is that the price was adjusted roughly in line with the recent Steam Deck increase.

Puts it about 850 or so for the base model if I'm estimating properly, but that is going from announcement to now, not all the way back to the beginning of all this mess.

It's too bad, every option for modding items running through proton honestly sucks.

Yes, it's 100% doable, but Vortex was our only shot right now at getting it to the level where an average non-technical user could feel comfortable with it.

I don't think they have a lot of interest in pursuing that market personally, I think the goal is to hit casual to average gamers. Kinda feel like they want to create an ecosystem and they're going to leave the high end/pro market for other manufacturers to figure out.

Limited hardware support for fwupd. Mostly older models, ones mentioned don't appear to be compatible.

They definitely are, more and more, it's the same as every popular movement. They pad the propaganda with legitimately good advice and some controversial but easily supportable facts. That makes the more controversial items easier to swallow.

I really wonder how they'd consistently source that, but mostly I just hope I never ever hear about it again.

Wobbly Life is a pretty good one. It has online capabilities but no chat, communication is limited to a very small subset of emojis.

No one to cheer for, we don't do good guys anymore, just various levels of bad guys fighting between themselves.
