Sometimes I forget the Steam Deck has a touch screen. I definitely wouldn’t want to support the Deck one handed for more than a few minutes.

Maybe I don’t play long enough sessions for this to be a concern, but I just…hold the Steam Deck. Elbows on the couch is a pretty solid mount lol.
That’s engagement/rage bait. Obviously nothing’s replacing the bicycle.
Oh, I had to go look up what Evercade is. I thought this was going to be the rumored remasters of these games.
Evercade seems interesting, but it’s kind of a strange concept. Like a generalized nostalgia for a console that never existed. I think if I’m not playing games on their original hardware, I would rather emulate on a retro handheld than pretend that I’m getting an authentic retro experience off a ROM on a newly produced cartridge for a modern device. This is like a compromise, I guess? Anyone here liking Evercade?
It’s like he wrote an already weird sex scene description, then right clicked every word and chose the last synonym on the list.
Holy shit, that’s a good burn.
I managed to graduate having taken no chemistry classes lol.
Thanks for explaining this simply. Somehow I never learned this in school.
Funny you say that. Mario Kart DS was peak offline social gaming for me. Back when it came out, lots of kids at my high school carried their DS on them and lunch was nothing but Mario Kart. At least it was among marching band nerds. And if someone happened to have a DS but not Mario Kart, we’d just do Download Play so they can at least join us in a limited capacity.
I don’t know anything about this game/series, but that looks like such a cool bundle. If I found that as a kid, I would be hyped as hell to play it. Can just imagine unfolding that packaging with all the discs would feel like opening a treasure chest.
This kind of thing didn’t used to bother me at all before it very much bothered me and now I’m somewhere in the middle. I think cartridges/discs for consoles should not require an Internet connection to play them. That said, this isn’t the PS2 era anymore. Many games release with patches day 1 and most will have at least some updates post launch. A lot of games kept offline end up missing out on a ton. Keeping a physical copy of a game is only preserving a portion of the game for a future without the servers to supply the final version, which is my main concern when it comes to physical vs digital media. We still have to rely on hacked consoles running custom firmware or emulation to properly preserve games.
OK, I promise I only know this because it’s related to my job: In the movie that came out earlier this year, there are minions with super powers. This one is supposed to be a rip off of The Thing from Fantastic Four. That’s why it looks like that.
The Oracle games had GBA releases? Wow, that’s news to me.
The system is also designed to transmit vibrations into the chassis through elastomeric bushings, mimicking an internal combustion engine and its motor mounts.
I get that EVs need to make noise, but what the fuck is this? One of the best things about driving something without an ICE is the car doesn’t vibrate at all while it’s on.
Some life, sure. We’ll extinct untold millions of species on the way out. Michael Crichton, the author of Jurassic Park, was a climate change denier, not a scientist.
Trying to be happy for the rest of the world.
This is the second plug-in I’ve read about in the last two weeks that causes major system crashes on the Steam Deck. Why are these little add on tools breaking the whole OS? That’s nuts.
Starting to think Lego finally realized how big the adult nerd merch market is and now they’re all in. Look I’m sure this set makes certain demographics on the Internet very happy, but it just highlights how different Lego is these days. For better or worse, Lego would never have produced this set 10 years ago. It’s an awkwardly rendered head of a videogame character and that’s it. Fuck, I’m gonna rant now.
I know it’s been said a million times, but I really miss old Lego themes untied to other brands. I’m aware that Star Wars and other IP saved the company from going under 20+ years ago, but they’re not a struggling business anymore. They don’t need to be making displays of pop culture references instead of original concepts to stay afloat; they’re doing it because it’s insanely profitable. Just make something new, please. I don’t even want “old Lego” nostalgia fan service with revived legacy themes. Just do something other than “city” that isn’t based on some other company’s media.
Hype: The Time Quest, a 90s PC game by Playmobil that was a formative part of my childhood. Surprisingly dark story for baby’s first 3D action adventure game. Took quite a bit of work to get it running on Steam Deck, but I’m about 3/4 through it. Starting to lose my patience with the awful fucking tank controls, though. Tried to modernize them a little with Steam Input, but the platforming is killing me.
I’m planning on checking out the Wario Land series myself soon. Recently got a cheap retro handheld and that’s on my list for sure.
Explain that to the average car buyer who sees the lower number and rules it out.
