0·30 days agoThanks, I hope you can buy one too. Is this something you could buy and have forwarded to you?
If you need a US address, and someone to forward it to you, feel free to PM me 👍
The only cred I have on here is from a guy I met in Canada to sell some phones to. But I promise I’m trustworthy haha
It takes money to make money. The whole project is a bit of a gamble. While paying for CE certification would probably pay off if this thing got popular, if it flops as a whole, then it would flop even harder.
Basically, because it costs more to do, it’s an even bigger gamble. Even though it could work out, they must’ve done the math and said, hmmm, let’s wait and get some legs under us first.
Heck, interest stalled out already and they barely made their funding. I feel like everyone who was gonna buy one, in the US anyway, has bought one. So how much bigger would Europe be for them? And how much does it cost to get CE certification? I don’t know the answers to these questions. But it’s foggy enough that I can see why they might not want to do it just yet.
For the record I bought one 🤷♂️
Hey just an update for you, I ended up modding my WiiU. Works great!
We’ll see how long I keep using it, the resolution leaves a lot to be desired…
That’s what I said the second I saw it. Too big to be practically portable, for me anyway. So it’s basically a bigger steam deck that you only use at home. Not a bad idea, but not worth what they are charging for it, not for me anyway.
Lately I’ve been using an 8 year old 13" Chromebook and an old xbone controller to stream steam games from my PC to my couch.
No it’s not portable, but it’s all I would use it for anyway, and it cost me nothing but the parts I had laying around. Anyone else could probably do the same thing for just $100-200. Not $1000+.
I’m not against buying new stuff, and new technology. But it’s not always needed. For me anyway 🤷♂️
No? I mean, that’s basically what the wiiu did. Stream the screen to the pad… hmmm… I’ll look into it and let you know if I do it
Oh man, can you hack the Wii u game pad and stream steam to it?
I have one of those laying around, I could totally do this
I use these wired headphones. They are not noise cancelling, they aren’t even the new in ear style, no. They sit in your ear like old school ear buds, but built using modern technology.
They sound great, the bass is a little lacking but that can’t be helped. The benefit is that I can still hear my family around me, so if someone starts talking to me I don’t accidentally ignore them. They work great!
0·3 months agoYeah it’s crazy, the Mackinac bridge is like 5 miles long, no foot traffic allowed except for one day of the year when thousands of people get together and walk across it.
It’s the same body of water, one lake. It’s just massive, and surrounds the lower peninsula of Michigan, so they gave each side of the lake a different name.
Truly it’s massive, it behaves almost like the ocean in a lot of ways. A lot of water.
They just announced EU/UK availability!
