There are no Samsungs you should buy.

Done, thanks

Just like you’re bringing small phones back?

You shouldn’t have to choose

Honestly I don’t play any specific games more than others. I usually play them, beat them, move on.

Call of Juarez is a really fun and simple pick up and play game (I hate complicated games). Actually quite an ugly game, despite running at a locked 90/800p. I’m on my third playthrough now.

Adrift was a really visually and audibly beautiful game, but also kinda boring and frustrating (I still don’t understand how to navigate even though I beat it yesterday). The price makes up for it.

I’ll mention Neva and Planet of Lana in the same breath, as they are very very similar games, but both excellent, simple and beautiful. Frustratingly, they do not run at 90 FPS or 16:10. The puzzle aspect made Lana more fun but the battle aspect was way more fun in Neva.

My Friend Pedro is kind of a modern 2D Max Payne style game that I’ve got a lot of hours in.

Install custom BIOS? Nahhhh I don’t think so.

Every other PC handheld runs at 1080+. And while I agree 800p is the ideal resolution there’s clearly a market for higher resolution. Especially for those of us running lighter games.

Yes, the OLED model has a more efficient processor, thus producing less heat, thus the fan runs at a lower speed, this making less noise.

A laptop does not support attached controllers for hand-holding. Seems pretty obvious.

I cannot hold my hands in the air indefinitely. Even completely empty my arms will get tired after a few short minutes, much less several hours. My Steam Deck gets held on my lap or on a table or something like that.

OneXPlayer has something similar that I actually considered buying (but ultimately didn’t for several reasons) that includes a keyboard and (laptop) trackpad and a pen. If I can buy 1 device that can do both handheld gaming and also laptop productivity, I can save a whole lot of money…

Theoretically no, all of your messages stored on Beeper servers are encrypted. But they will get all your metadata.

But I wouldn’t worry about that anyway since Discord not only has access to all of your messages but sells them to companies to process for AI. So that’d be the far easier and faster route for them.

Not only is it possible, but people are already doing it.

Honestly in 3 years I never felt the need for any accessories, other than a 1TB SSD.

NEVA. SIFU is up next, got it free a couple days ago! Been mostly playing on desktop lately though (FFXVI)

Don’t take my word for it. Like I said, it’s written in plain language right in their Privacy Policy.

Firefox has never put a priority on privacy. Just take a glance at their privacy policy. And it’s plain to see that they are moving further away from it every day.

There are a dozen Firefox forks though. Mulch, DDG, TOR, Fennic, Bromite, etc.

If you bought an iPhone a year ago, you definitely noticed that you now only have to carry 1 cable, and all of your cable and accessories cost less because they don’t have to pay Apple an exorbitant fee to license their archaic and proprietary connector. If you paid extra for the “Pro” model you’ll notice wildly faster transfer speeds over USB. If you bought the base model, fuck you, you’re stuck with USB 2.1 because greed.

You’re wrong because of the specific words you’re choosing to use. Even if they aren’t, it doesn’t mean they can’t.

Yeah I did exactly that. It just needs an update afterwards.

“design by committee” approach that large studios are using

They don’t have to use that.

This kind of game can only exist as a solo or very small team project.

That’s just very clearly wrong.

You can not generate the kind of money that large publishers and studios need to survive with little Indie games.

Wrong again. If anything, only large publishers can lose the kinds of money that they sometimes do.

Balatro is…not something big studios could even possibly replicate

…and why not?

What would be the point of a big studio trying to make a game that one developer can pull off?

…money?
