I'll probably still be using my Steam Deck in 2035 lol. It's just so perfect for the types of games I play - mostly older stuff and modern pixel art / 2D games. I just beat Spiritfarer on it after beating Graveyard Keeper, and I'm nearly to the "end" of Stardew. I've played through FFVIII, FFIX, and FFX on it. My gaming time has quadrupled now that I can play all my games in bed or on the toilet or at the park. Just an amazing little machine.

This is peak laziness, but I installed a tablet mount on my bed's headboard so when I lay down I can just have the deck screen in front of my face. I use an 8bitdo controller so I don't have to hold my hands in the air.
I was originally going to get one of those gaming glasses that are advertised for the deck, but this accomplishes the same goal of comfortably gaming while laying down.

It doesn't make sense that 1080p looks horrible at such a large size when I'm used to 4k?

For portable use I love this keyboard: https://a.co/d/a1s6Slt
It's not the best option if you're just using it at home, though.

1080p looks abysmal on my 65" though. Is there any solution?

Interesting, I'll have to play around with it. I've been docking it to my 4k TV so maybe I need to force a lower res.

Nice, thanks. How has your docked experience been? I've only been able to get it working well with low-power games like Monster Train. Any 3d game seems to run horribly, even older titles.

Do y'all use a controller in heldheld mode or only docked? I'm curious what the use case is here.

I went into it totally blind and really fell in love. I definitely recommend trying it out when you want to feel some feels.

Spiritfarer. Got it on sale for $5 a while ago and it's surprisingly touching and addictive. I even cried at one point.

Very informative. I wonder why Nintendo went with such a poor-performing display. Maybe to get users onboard with the inevitable refresh model?

I snagged Steins;Gate for $3. I've never played a visual novel before and I'm not sure if I'll like it, but I'll give it a shot.

Seems like things are functional now. I imagine the servers got hit hard during the start of the sale.

I know you meant that this could escalate to a long war that your child may eventually be drafted into, but my initial mental image was a battalion of toddlers each carrying a Fisher Price branded "Baby's First Assault Rifle".

7" non-OLED screen is a hard no from me, regardless of everything else.

I played Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine for the first time in over 20 years. I never managed to beat it when I was younger but I blew right through it in an hour this time around, even with arthritic hands. Feels good.

Your area doesn't have farmers markets in warmer months? It's usually an outdoor area where farmers set up booths and you can get everything in one spot. I buy all of my seasonal veggies this way, and I'm gonna keep an eye out for honey next time I go.

Agreed, the ease of repairs and ability to upgrade the SSD were a huge selling point for me.

It does make me wonder if JK is actually asexual herself, and feels shame about it. Like how men who claim that "being gay is a choice" often feel that way because they consciously forced themselves to be straight despite their attraction to other men.

This is why I always buy electronics on my Amex card. They add an additional year of warranty past the manufacturer's expiration.
