I’m not in the US, so the options I had here were either expensive or didn’t have any reviews.

I’ve been wanting a steamdeck for some time and that is what pushed me to get one.

Nintendo is basically saying that they are guilty of enabling piracy.

That same argument would paint gun makers as guilty of enabling murder and crime. Nintendo should really be going after rom sharing sites. That’s totally legit, but not the emulation devs.

If they have a fund for legal costs I’ll donate.

You know why I played the games on yuzu? It’s because the joycons suck and they are expensive to replace.

I did the stick drift repair on my own, but the L and R buttons are soldiered to the main board so it can’t be repaired.

I bought a right joycon on its own and then the next week the left joycon had the same issue.

I wasn’t going to spend about $90 for an unreliable controller when an entire steamdeck costs $500.

It really paints the picture that the controllers are way over priced how can they alone be 20% the cost of the entire steamdeck.

If Nintendo made decent joycons, then I would not be using Yuzu.

Additionally, I dumped my own games and keys, so they got their money and through some effort, I got a better experience.

I’d like to add that the joycons were not heavily used either.

Thanks! I just downloaded chrome to use for this one off instance. I’m pretty degoogled, but needed to book a flight so I just needed to get it done.

When I was choosing a return site it kept saying, “oops there was a mistake. It was not your fault. Try again later”.

Their mobile app sucked too, so I installed chrome to see if it would work and it did right away.

I just had to install chrome to book plane tickets. Kept getting an error on Firefox.

Haha, that’s kinda funny. Then people are like.

Just tell your friends and family to stop using iMessage. Like everyone will be ok to switch their routine just like that.

I did this once, well twice.

Although one time, the assignment was how to improve the university with a couple thousand dollars.

So I made a slide about amenities that would be cool to have. Like soda machines in the same building as the classrooms (the refillable kinds)

The professor said my slides were insulting.

Well fuck me for not having the idea you wanted me to have.

You mean the usb-c cable?

I just use whatever is laying around. It doesn’t bother me.

Yeah the oled is like a mid generation refresh.

Battery life isn’t too important to me as I only play at home, so chargers are basically everywhere.

But I’m sure the screen is a big improvement. But I’ll get it when the next steamdeck comes out,

I got the no -oled like a month before th announced it. But I I’ll wait for a bigger upgrade before buying a new one.
