  • I will say that while I love it, as someone with both it and a very capable desktop, I’m in the opposite position. I used it a bunch in the first couple months, but that was because it was a cool new gadget that I wanted to fiddle with. Once the novelty wore off, I do 99% of my gaming at home – the only time I’m using the steam deck at home is if I predict a long poop or I’m sick and don’t want to sit at my desk.

    However, where it absolutely shines is travel. It’s small enough to throw in a carry on or even personal bag, and it’s amazing for a flight, or just any trip where you know you’ll have some downtime. The charge is long enough that you can go a few hours without power, especially if you anticipate it and use some of the power saving features.

    It’s also fantastic if a second gaming computer would be good for your situation – maybe you’ve got kids or roommates that share your computer, or you wish you could game in your yard etc.

    Basically, it’s not a slam dunk for everyone, but if you regularly have any of the use cases listed above, it’s absolutely worth the money – assuming you have the library for it already. I have tons of games that are excellent for the deck, but not everyone will, and while you can play competitive shooters and complex mouse-driven RPGs with it, it’s really not the ideal experience.


  • I mean, I definitely think it’s not ideal and there’s room for improvement and social pressure for Mozilla to change its priorities, but I also don’t think it’s any reason to abandon the project. The reality is that a modern web browser is too massive of a project for a non-commercial entity to reasonably develop and keep updated, and Mozilla is the only such entity that’s even remotely got its heart in the right place.









  • This is off the top of the dome and given more time I’d probably change this significantly, but here’s 10 of my favorites from a multitude of genres:

    • Rain World
    • Outer Wilds
    • Stephen’s Sausage Roll

    (Those are pretty firmly my top 3, all totally mindblowing experiences that surprised and awed me multiple times)

    • Spelunky 2
    • Getting Over It
    • Peaks Of Yore
    • Satisfactory
    • Dark Souls PTDE
    • Hunt: Showdown
    • Morrowind

    Honorable mentions for Guilty Gear and Tekken as series, and I have a special place in my heart for the 2000 title Sacrifice, which is my eternal top pick for a remaster/remake.



  • GitHub (since the Microsoft acquisition) is good to users because that’s their MO, it’s called Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, and the whole point is to centralize users and projects and make them dependent on the Microsoft ecosystem.

    Of course now there’s also the whole issue of Copilot, which means any code you put on GitHub could very well show up piecemeal in someone’s AI-generated code. If it wasn’t for that novel avenue of monetization, you can bet your ass GitHub would have already made the free user experience a lot shittier.


  • Sorry, if you remove my ability to interact with posts through the all feed, I will stop using this site. With how little content exists on this platform, there’s little point in curating a feed. You either visit a specific community for specific information, or you browse all. It would just be an annoyance anyway, akin to the awful reddit “no-participation link”. These measures do absolutely nothing to stop bad faith actors and only serve to annoy normal users and push them away from the site.
