It's a shame people think the "bill gates propaganda wing" is a real thing.

What's your opinion on PragerU, I wonder?

Got any other info on that? You've got my attention, but also my doubt.

Once you get bored of the base game, Slay the Spire also has an extremely robust and high quality modding community. I got around 200 hours out of the base game and then an additional 250 on top of that out of modded classes and setting overhauls.

StS: Downfall in particular is extremely high quality and was in fact so popular that it got its own Steam store page, like a free DLC would. Highly recommend.

Hades is a killer game for the Deck, I just can't get used to using stick controls. I put like 280 hours into M+K, it's a hard habit to break and Heat 11 isn't exactly the best place to learn a new control scheme.

My partner loves it though. They started the game on the deck so the learning curve is easier.

Disagree on HZD unless there were significant updates. I was around halfway through the game when I bought my deck, loaded it up on there to see how it ran, and uninstalled after about 15 minutes of never being able to make it over 15 FPS on lowest settings.

It's playable, if stuttery, in town and in cutscenes. When you start combat it becomes a PowerPoint. Which is a shame, because I really really liked that game, but I finished it on PC instead.

Monster Hunter Rise has been scratching that particular genre itch for me on the Deck though. Rise was built for the Switch so it plays on the Deck like it was born there. Smooth as butter.

There are a great many theories that are untestable and unfalsifiable. The existence of a God or a Creator is a hotly debated one, for instance.

Thanks for reminding me to get back into Inscryption. I thought that game was neat but dropped it for something else before I learned it has like five acts.

That would be because Cortana was hot garbage at doing anything and was significantly slower than just typing my query by hand.

If they built an assistant that was worth half a fuck maybe we might have used it now and then. I'm not very confident that Copilot is that. But it's going to be more useful than Cortana was almost no matter what they do with it.

More frequently, I boot the Deck and immediately start a game so it has no time to download anything, and then put it to sleep when I'm done playing. So when using what I would expect to be the standard use case, the deck downloads nothing at all ever until I actually take the time to wake it up and then let it cook for an hour or two, or manually force an update on a game I want to play but can't because there's an update out.

I find it hard to believe that Valve expected people to just keep their Deck sitting around with the screen on for multiple hours doing nothing but updating. My Switch downloads updates on sleep mode when plugged into power. The PS5 and Xbox do it. The PS4 did it. Why can't the deck at least have a toggle option for it?

It's what is known as a canary statement. Taken from when miners used to take canaries into the mines so that the bird would die first if there was toxic gas.

If the canary is dead, something is wrong. Google had it in their mission statement to not do bad things, then that was quietly removed. The canary is dead.

Anecdotal, and I am a Windows idiot, but I've never had a problem like this with Firefox in my life. People always talk about how slow it is and how half the internet doesn't work on it but I've personally never had a single problem. It's just worked perfectly out of the box since the very beginning.

Makes me wonder what the difference is.

Though to be fair I last looked a few years ago. Situations may have changed by now. But when I was in the market for a cheap bike none of them seemed reasonably priced to me.
