That’s either a big rooster or a small hippo…

Could it be because adoption was already high and ground space is more limited in SF county than any other county in California?

Tips for the first timer, BE PATIENT WITH THE FIRST STARTUP AND PATCH, it’ll look non responsive/stuck in updating, but it is working, it might not progress for 5 or 10 minutes, believe me, it’s working. The second one I bought (for a family member) had me nervous (was refurbished) at how long I had to wait at some %'s of patching, but it went through and both work like a charm.

It is very very easy to emulate games, the guides on YouTube work perfectly and explain everything in multiple levels of detail. However it is hard to locate game files placed by steam, especially if you have a lot of games.

Don’t shy away from games that aren’t typically controller friendly, the community control layouts bring many creative and natural feeling solutions to games that you wouldn’t expect to be able to play, on top of that you can fine tune any given layout to make it truly work for your own needs.

The in store “deck compatability” guide is pretty useless, green/verified works 99.9% of the time (unless a recent patch has broken something, and it’s usually corrected very quickly) yellow/playable works 99.9% of the time but usually with “text inputs that require the keyboard overlay”, unverified/untested seems to work about 75% of the time, the only one that Ive put much weight in is “not supported”, usually there’s some overlay window or codex that just won’t work properly, but even then sometimes the games work, don’t rely on the steam window, check out the proton compatability website protondb . Com, it’s a much more extensive and thorough list, and will tell you how to get games working that valve claims the deck cannot handle.

Play aperture desk job at least once, it’s a great fun time, and will teach you a couple things about the deck you might not have expected (conductive joysticks that enable gyro controls),

Take a screen shot (steam button+r1) of the shortcut tips screen , so you can easily reference it whenever you’re trying to remember a chord command (like steam button+r1 for screenshot, or how to bring the overlay keyboard up).

If you have slow Internet and you want to download a ton of games, do it in “desktop” mode, and you can set the screen to turn off after a period of time (in case you’re worried about burn in, which I was at first but I’m much less concerned about now).

Dude, if you think I’ve played Pokemon since red/blue, or I’m fanboying here, I’m glad to be part of your strawman because it’s delusional.

I mean…

I’m glad there are so many Pokemon, and that Pokemon were not unique enough for the most part to be trademarked, but if you think they didn’t lift very heavily from a single source you’re fooling yourself and making flippant accusations of your straw-manned opposition.

Also I’m questioning if it was actually “way better” or just edgier for the memes that games would latch onto and vehemently defend. It seems to have been very successful in the latter even if it wasn’t their intent.

“At least” doing a lot of lifting here.

Cheaper and imo much more powerful than the switch. It emulates switch.

2000 square feet 3 stories?

For a 3 dollar purchase?

These are the fools who’ve been easily parted from their dollars

I can see supplies extending longer than they thought with their refurbishing program being as popular as it is (they don’t stay in stock very long)

I’m not sure how far back you have to go, but those are definitely pre 19th century

Emissions controller modifiers designed to “roll coal”

I’m not remembering a mechanical dog in fahrenheit 451, but it’s been decades since I’ve read it…

Also not at all worried about “footed” robots navigating the real world.

I just can’t trust innovations and discoveries coming from China, I’m excited, but I’ll hold my breath until it’s been replicated by a less untrustworthy source

…

Thank you for that! Maybe it’s that time of the decade again.

Why couldn’t any of the tips for noobs have given that advice? (I watched at least half a dozen, many years ago though)

Definitely a legit take, there are very few people I wouldn’t recommend Hades to, if only for enough playthroughs to get to the “end” of the story. Though there is so much past that

Who is “they”?

This reads like a muck-raking post to me.

Me too, thinking I’ll finally have some enlightenment as to how to kill the first night or twos zombies without getting killed and rage quitting.

I’ve even watched “beginner tutorials” on that game game, and conveniently they ended the first video just after nightfall of the first night, and started the second video during the second day, but that’s not how it friggin works, you need to murder the enemies lest they murder you, and in 5 different starts of the game, across 3 different devices, I’ve yet to kill the first or second nights horde without them breaking down my doors and wrecking my shit.

That game is one of my biggest regrets, I bought the 4 pack when it first came out thinking my friends and I would all have a great time, it makes me feel like I’m old and disconnected that I can’t enjoy that stupid (supposedly fantastic) game.

Dude they made another trine??? Damn I’ve gotta get that into my library. Some of the most fun co-op I’ve ever done was trine, trine 2 and trine 3. Hopefully 5 took a lot of “don’t do that”'s from trine 4.

That wasn’t how I interpreted their comment at all. It didn’t seem like it was minimizing or brushing away in any way.
