After the Wii U fiasco I’d be shocked if they called it anything other than Switch 2.

They had absolutely 1 thing to do:

Remake Saints Row 2.

And they continued to ignore what everyone wanted.

Does the pro exist? I’ve seen so much conflicting information.

Please tell me that I’m not the only person who immediately thought of this when reading “droid”

I am someone who mods every console that I have. I even mod https://lemmy.world/c/linuxcracksupport here. But fiddling with the Deck can be very tedious and tiring. It’s like modding a game - you’ll spend hours getting it right, only for your will to play the game be gone.

I’ve even taken to not doing beta updates anymore on the Deck because the uncertainy that they cause just gets into my playtime. It somewhat ruins the concept of the Deck, which is ‘pick up for a few minutes and play’ in my mind.

It looks sick. I actually have no problem that it’s thicker if that means that the battery life is longer (although weight is a concern over thickness, of course). Lenovo hardware is hit and miss though (and I say this having used a Legion laptop for the past few years).

Also, Steam Deck will still remain king until the other companies can make a good track record of consistent software improvements which are needed on a device like this. I see all of these other clones - the Ally, the 50000 Aya devices - and I still am not tempted until I know that they will be supported long term. I really think that this support sets the tone for these devices - is this market going to be a ‘it’s a year old and already outdated so I’ll just buy a new one’ kind of thing? Or will it be ‘this is good for a quite a few years and I’m happy with my purchase and not immediately getting fomo’? I really hope it’s the latter.

Another thing is that, and maybe I’m misremembering, but didn’t Nintendo patent some part of the detachable controller design that scared companies from doing anything similar for a long time? I could have sworn that was happening for quite a while…

Right, ok. I mean XCloud. I play on the Deck, so Gamepass is not available physically on it unless you install Windows.

Isn’t that only if the game has an internal login?

Played a bit of this. Looks and feels really good. I have Gamepass but I’m always hesitant to play games that I want to retain my save later.

And often, you’ll find multiple communities on the same topic and you have to try to figure out which one looks like it will be better down the road

I think that inevitability what will happen is that apps will have to create a “group” feature where you have clusters of communities at once. So if there are 2 gaming communities, you could group them, then click on that group to view all of the posts as if it were one subreddit.

SOMA. The ending still freaks me out until this day.

Same lol. Replaced the icon with the Lemmy app for Android and here I am 👍🏻

He’s also deleted all of his AMA answers.

The creator of sync said that he’s considering adapting the app to use Lemmy. Fingers crossed.
