Doing it the PS3 way could be the least complex option: just auto turn on 30 seconds to check if there’s updates every day, download if needed. On the deck it would also require a power check (just don’t if it’s not plugged in) and a further check if it’s a connection marked as having limited data. Still a decent solution imo.

You can craft stuff, upgrade weapons and space suits. Lots of things are just crap to sell, and here’s a thing I enjoy doing: I find a mission asking me to kill a pirate in a ship somewhere, go there, “convince” them to let me in their ship, then I “negotiate” a transfer of ownership. I land somewhere I can buy and sell ships, sell my new acquisition. ALL THE CRAP it had gets moved into my ship. I go sell dozens of note pads, singular playing cards, half eaten sandwiches and so on, all nearly worthless stuff but it adds up lol

Are you sure about that?

Yep. The os isn’t tiny, plus there’s all sorts of extra stuff. For example 1gb is gone on every Deck because that’s reserved for swap… and then shader cache sneaks in and depending on the game you might run out of space in no time.

I have about 128 hours into Starfield, annnnd… you know how they give you a tutorial that’s on rail for the most part, then tell you “go there to do very important thing” and you see a squirrel, chase it, and suddenly you exposed corruption at the highest levels, found out where certain aliens come from, destroyed an entire faction, became a celebrity in a deadly game and people all over love you for the incredible acts of bravery? Then you decide to go where they told you and find out that no, the tutorial wasn’t over yet? That’s me. 128 hours of fucking with pirates, looting everything, helping everyone with the most weird requests and overall having a blast.

That said if you want Fallout in space uh, probably wait for a big sale. Also while it works fine on the Deck (much to my surprise) I didn’t play more than a few hours that way. It’s very cpu intensive.

Select is the one exclusive for Amazon, my understanding is that it’s meant to help with counterfeit ones, as only Amazon has them. Very good cards either way.

Not sure how it compares price wise right now, but look at the Amazon basics ones too: they’re made by the same company that bought Lexar and makes the emmc inside the 64gb Deck. Mine has been going strong for about a year now. Speed wise they’re essentially the same: the standard used in the Deck tops out at 104 megabytes per second, so any claims of extra speed are just marketing.

Busting makes me feel good!

I hate this, it’s fun but I can’t share it with anyone because it requires knowledge of that episode

This is quite impressive. Not sure if you have any experience with this sort of stuff, but not only the hand has 5 fingers, but the badge is essentially perfect!

Had almost the same idea, was too lazy to do it…

I’ve been wondering about that too, after seeing this post I watched a 10+ minutes video and it was fine, but I’m not… on an average setup.

So for the moment I’m just going to suppose it’s not active for me yet. Thanks.

I’m going to top that… I thank whatever assistant I’m talking to. After I get the answer. And they’re not listening anymore.

Real or not, it just feels wrong not to thank after I asked for something and received it.

In iOS there’s an option in the app to select a different icon, including the old design. Now, they’ve updated all the others so if you want the old design and for example the purple icon that’s a no go, but…

Ever played Eve Online? The “Noob ship” you get free when yours goes boom is bigger than a fighter jet, the battleships (fairly big) are about 500 meters and the capital monstrosity stuff gets to a plainly overkill 17 kilometers. And in all of this? It’s hard to figure out the small ships actually need a crew and aren’t just the pilot inside

Kiss my shiny laminated ass!

How is nobody doing 2+2 and figuring out we’re the “mirror universe”? At best.

I’m just going to drop this here https://apps.apple.com/it/app/draw-things-ai-generation/id6444050820?l=en-GB for the Apple users among us: fast, powerful on device generation, works on iPhones, iPad and Macs (Silicon only, I think). Free!

Back when I had a 1060 3gb it was awesome! Always giving me nearly flawless settings for games, now with a 3060… we have very strong disagreements about the ideal settings.

That said yeah, a random software to install, that requires a new account and all for the privilege of installing the drivers? Hard sell.

Steam allows you to stream from another computer you have, GeForce Now is cloud based and depending on the subscription it can have a 4080 equivalent gpu.

Cool stuff!

It’s a very, very intentional move: you must link a Microsoft account to play, but it’s a “different account” so no transfer of saves. So different that it will remember all your records, will show races as already done (lots of fun figuring out what you still need to do), you can edit tunes previously shared (can’t edit them unless they’re yours) and if you want to try and launch both versions of the game it will complain about being already logged in on a different machine.
