I'm a programmer, and it's very different from hourly work. Realistically, any programmer is coding for like 1-2 hours a day. There are meetings so we understand the problem we have to solve, and a lot of time thinking through the problems and architecture solutions. We're not sitting there typing for 8 hours a day, or at least those are the ones getting burned out. Realistically I'm working like 30 hours a week already, with only 10 hours being real coding, the rest being talking, researching, learning, and pondering. Maybe I'm lucky I work somewhere that that stuff isn't seen as slacking.

I started sprinkling some peglin in between BG3 sessions.

Why would anyone go there of they even suspect they might be gay? I know folks who received electroshock therapy there in the 70s to try to cure them.

Depends, we talking the animated series or the live action?

You need to change some settings. I forget which, but I think it's fsr completely off and a few others. Then I capped it at 40 fps and it stays there while looking pretty good even in act 3.

No, not at all. The deck is much more convenient and no fuss. It has sleep / resume. I can be in the middle of a battle in BG3, put the thing into sleep and set it down for a week. Press resume and I'm instantly back to where I left off. No turning on the TV, booting the console, starting the game, loading your save. And the portability is convenient even for just in the house. Play on the couch, at the table with coffee and breakfast, in bed before falling asleep.

Then when you factor in the value you get from being able to play modern games comfortably while traveling, I stand by my point that you're a fool if you buy a series s over a deck.

The steam library, full Linux operating system, and emulation of current gen Nintendo games is far from zero reason.

I'm in the city.

I'm becoming so convinced I never want to use windows again. I work on a Mac. I have a windows gaming PC, but since I've gotten my steam deck that's almost all I game on. I think when I build my next gaming rig I'll switch to Linux.

It is a great experience, I do not know where this sentiment keeps coming from.
