TBF they sometimes hide it from public view by putting it in the bin - trashcan in the US - on bin collection day. Genius.

Lol he may not actually know he’s sharing these with everyone. I’m which case he’s in for a disconcerting moment when he realises.

My issue is power consumption. Where I live, I rely on solar panels and batteries, and the steam deck is less power hungry than a laptop with graphics card.

Wow thanks for all the suggestions, I’ll check em out, pretty sure there’s something there my mate and i can agree on.

We’re using mobile hotspots, that’s our only internet access. We can both connect to the same one though.

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll check it out!

Looks great, thanks!

Thanks for the detailed response. Yeah, I’d thought the LAN thing would be tricky - the issue is that where we live, we have to rely on mobile hotspots for internet connectivity and the speed isn’t the best. It’s usable, I think we were just hoping to find a more effective workaround! And thanks for the suggestions too, I’ll check em out.

I’m still mostly playing doom 2016.

I had a twenty year break from gaming and I’ve been trying to catch up since I got the steam deck but I remain pretty crap. I’m playing doom on little bitch mode and still finding it a challenge. I’m about half way through, I don’t get a lot of gaming time.

I keep starting other games but not getting into them. But I think I’m gonna give dishonoured a try too.

Steam deck is probably the best machine I’ve bought in years.

They provide an easy platform for me to buy games so I use them. The steam deck too. Just because they have a competent product, i don’t think that justifies any arse kissing. Like you say, they’re a company and they’re in business to make money.

Yeah, I can see why developers would be unhappy about the 30%. Maybe there’s an argument to be made that the platform gives these games a greater potential market but I don’t know enough about the business to try making that argument.

Most demanding thing I’ve tried on it was beam ng drive, it ran but struggled a bit. I’ve never yet been unable to play something I wanted to on it.

Alien isolation Uncharted legacy of thieves Resident evil Bioshock infinite.

I’m just getting back into gaming after a twenty year gap so I’ve got loads to catch up on. I’ve been enjoying FPS stuff, but I’m frustratingly bad, even on easy mode. Need more time for practise but work long hours, ho hum. Hopefully I’ll find time to try all of the above. Recently finished bioshock original and loved it.

TBH I like an elfbar sometimes. But I know how unsustainable they are, buying one feels worse than buying cocaine or meat or insert whatever fun and ethically challenging item.

I’ve never managed to replicate the disposable taste with a reusable vape, and I’ve had experience with reusables. Anyone know if it’s doable?

Very small scale landlords are often working people, and lots of working people own shares. That said, the bigger landowners and stock holders are much less likely to be working people. Those fuckers contribute nothing of value to society.

Britain needs to sort out its current behaviour towards immigrant communities - remember the windrush thing? The shit with the Nepalese British army soldiers? All the other bullshit? Sort out the current problems before looking at historical moral obligations.

Although TBH I kinda feel like no nation, group, race, community, whatever - should feel obliged to make amends for shit their ancestors did long before they were born. One example of this is the Germans - too often they’re kinda held responsible for the Holocaust and Hitler, even if it’s just joking. When most of em weren’t even born when those atrocities happened. It’s not fair to blame em.

So yeah, I don’t think Britain should be held responsible for shit that happened before living memory. However shit we did within living memory, that’s different, maybe we gotta debt to pay there.

Yeah same. I got a steam deck maybe six months ago, my backlog is so big I’ve only recently finished bioshock. Seems like a nifty little device and it seems to handle contemporary stuff okay too.

Tbh the physics makes crashes pretty fun. I do a lot of driving for my job and try to be a responsible, careful driver. So it’s nice to fire up the steam deck sometimes and drive like a complete wanker!

Somebody gild this!

Yeah, I find having something to eat helps too.

I’ve just started playing beam ng drive. Looks great so far, but I’m pretty shit at it.
