Some kind of cable labeling would be nice.
The deck charger uses USB PD. It will charge anything that supports the standard as fast as possible (up to its rated 65W) and use normal 5v USB for everything else.
For the power matter, you don't. The device being charged, the charger, and cable does.
If you mean what is the maximum wattage that will actually be used, that should be the maximum possible between the charger, cable, and device. So look at their specs. Whichever has the lowest maximum, is what the others will match.
USB PD defines a protocol for the device and charger to determine max safe power. If the cable is replacable (not attached to the charger), it must be rated for PD and be able to tell the charger it can handle more than just the usual 5 volts at 2 amps.
USB PD chargers only output the maximum safe amount of power. That's why I can use my 65W steamdeck charger to charge my phone if I want to. It just outputs normal USB charger power if the device on the other end can't verify it can handle more.
It's also why my SteamDeck charger is what I use to fast charge my phone, because it can actually talk to it using the USB PD protocol to request the voltage and amps it needs to fast charge.
You're welcome! Percy and Curiosity are magnificent machines! There's a ton of fantastic content out there about their design and engineering. Smarter Every Day and Real Engineering both have videos about them.
Most people also don't realize how absolutely HUGE they are, until they see a person stand next to one of them on video or in a picture.
They've lasted quite well.
But it's apparently one of the things the designers want to do better with future rovers.
The design was meant to be light-weight while providing good traction on the martian surface, but it has turned out more fragile than they'd hoped. All six wheels on Curiosity are quite damaged.
The wheels on Perseverance are still aluminium, but instead of the zig-zag tread, the large gaps of flat metal that have been getting punctured, were done away with. The wheels on Percy instead have a dense pattern of wavy tread.
I know that Thunder lets you "label" users so you can recongize them more easily, and I think you can find a list of labeled users somewhere in the app, too.
That's a good community idea. And I'm on the right instance for it. Remedy is Finnish, after all.
Did you get the scare that can happen in the Mind Place?
There's one point in the story, where after interacting with the clue board and exiting out, turning around, a cultist will appear in the room.
If you got used to just switching between the different things in the mind place using the buttons, though, instead of walking around, it never happens.
The environments in the game are truly insane.
The mind place IMO is one of the most graphically impressive rooms I've seen in any game. Saga looks SO REAL in it.

It's unclear.
Considering it was the first project from Kojima Productions (the independent studio he started after Konami) it's actually probable that they didn't own the IP.
They would have needed someone like Sony and 505 to foot the bill of developing their first project, with no incoming cashflow, and those deals usually leave the publisher holding the IP.
Whats really confusing me, is that it wasn't Sony holding the IP rights, it was 505.
It looks like maybe 505 was holding it all, giving Sony a cut of the pie for the timed console exclusive, and now sold it all back to Kojima, allowing them to do the Xbox release.
I for one am really happy that studios are wising up and buying the rights to their own stuff when its successful enough to enable them to do that, instead of letting their IP be owned by the publishers in exchange for having them bankroll development.
Studios like Kojimas and Remedy have been shopping around with multiple publishers, and owning their own IP, means they can now even more easily drop a publisher for another, if they try to sacrifice quality.
