My wife and I had and interesting pandemic that required a lot of travel unfortunately.

We gamed almost exclusively on Stadia while doing so and it was near flawless. I know it’s meme for Google to kill things but man did that one really sting.

GeForce Now, PS Whatever and Xbox Cloud all aren’t there when it comes to how immediate Stadia felt. I’ll forever be bummed that they didn’t hold out for a few more years until mainstream adoption.

I’m a big advocate for PopOS. Especially as an Nvidia user.

I’m the cash-shop-anocerous. All my microtransactions bleed your wallet like a phlebotomus.

can report UEFI installs of PopOS and Mint were recently borked by a Win11 update.

Finally found a good loop with this game a few days ago. Been trying to get into it since launch. The game is in a really great spot now.

Hello games really did something special here after all these years.

Damn. I grew up with print media, there was a great feeling in reading about games that were coming and seeing the photos long before they were available.

Waiting for fatality guides for the new MK’s, seeing what Sushi-X’s and Quarterman latest rumors were.

Wondering what next months Nintendo Power cover would be.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug but print media never stood a chance in the modern climate. Especially as resources get more constrained and readers continue to decline.

I will always miss real, written journalism though. It feels like we are never going back to that, even online.

Binding keys to talk shit in chat on TFC. Hitting k and having “Pullllll” drop into chat after bouncing someone in the air with a rocket and finishing them with a shotgun blast was peak gaming.

How about dedicated servers where users can play against the same people for more than 1 or 2 matches and get better without randos smurfing and griefing?

SBMM should be an option but not the only one. Actiblizz can kick fuckin rocks.

100% with you. They have one of those unfortunate names that looks like a million other Ali rebrands on Amazon.

Aside from that, we own quite a few of their Steam Deck accessories and all seem to be working great.

I am so, so close to doing the same. Still have a small partition carved out for CoD and Windows. I just find myself booting in to it less and less.

Thank goodness MicroVision seems to be keen on continuing to flog that dead horse with a Warzone focus, means I can finally be free.

Thanks for the rec! Typing on it now. Pretty decent so far. I dig the hover on the word as i swipe

Also posting from a Pixel 7 running Graphene for abouta year. No issues, I use Fdroid for most apps and Aurora when I have too. Only bummer is I haven’t found a good FOSS keyboard with swipe. Really miss gboard for that and gif insertion.

Are we married to the same person?

There’s always one!

Must of been how they used the little red nub.

Single NVME and single SD slot. However, upgrading the NVME is a breeze. The entire device is designed to be user serviceable and Valve provides steps for reinstalling the OS on their site.

What?! 9000!?!

The first one has its flaws, especially in combat and pacing. But this is pretty much any spiders game.

That said, they did a really good job creating lore and a world that was fun to explore and live in. Looking forward to this sequel.

Does this qualify the game for a refund under Steams EULA at all?
