If you're wondering what model to get, if you can use a screwdriver and follow simple instructions you can purchase the 64gb model and then get a 256gb NVME ssd(Samsung pm991) for ~35 off amazon. Takes only a couple minutes to remove/install the drive. Takes longer to reinstall steamOS to your device.

I did this in March when the first steamdeck sale happened. Haven't had a single issue with my ssd - other than the updater saying my ssd needs a firmware update but fails on the install.

Don't use a cheap no-name brand(Onn, etc) USB stick for your steamOS recovery image. I tried several and they all would claim install success but the OS would get stuck in a boot loop in the reboot after "successful installation".

I ended up buying a cheap Sandisk and it worked like a charm. I also got an anti-glare screen protector which does wonders for outdoor gaming.

Around the same age and this was my main takeaway from all this as well. One of my parents was watching the BBC with their coverage of it and I saw the map yesterday and was like wow, was it really that close? What was I doing in school?

It's a hack but the work around to that is to set a screen time passcode, and disable the ability to modify the account in content and privacy restrictions. Setting this passcode to something other than your main code should help against those who know/spy upon your main code.

Since I can't think of a reason you'd be constantly accessing your iCloud account info - especially in public - this isn't that much of an inconvenience, and limits anyone's ability to discover this code.

The only issue is remembering to re-enable the content restrictions when you're done with whatever you needed to unlock it for. But the same can be said for any manual lock.

I mean jokes aside, usually preordering digital titles lets you preload most of the content several days before the release. If you don't have high speed internet, or have a restrictive daily cap - this can give you a leg up on a purchase you were going to day1 buy anyway.

Then on release it just activates your license and then you can spend most of release day playing the game versus waiting for it to download.

From what I understand of how this whole system works here - you can just host/create your own instance for that community. Make some mod post on your subreddit about how you're migrating the community, if anyone can help host it if you're unable, and if they want to follow over they can.

Originally I was annoyed at the display of

But I decided later to take it as Zapp growing as a person, having learned he can develop feelings for "men" - even though it was just Leela, and in a confused sort of way opened up to dating trans-women. And he is legitimately confused about the surprise, knowing full well this is a trans-women - and not the harmful joke about her still having her body's birth genitalia.

But yeah, hopefully they do a little better with this season on that front and I don't have to rely on home brewed explanations anymore.

And the PlayStation ports of their games were always terrible. Like the further south you went in Oblivion the longer it would take to load a town. Sometimes Leyawin would take 5+ minutes to load.

Skyrim had that stuff with data corruption and the upside down dragons.

While I don't remember, I'm sure the fallout PlayStation versions had their own issues. So I'm glad Bethesda is solely Xbox/pc now because the PS versions were a distant afterthought anyways.

30fps is fine so long as it's not a crutch. And since it's on game pass day one, if it's terrible all I've done is waste bandwidth downloading it, and not $70.

StumbleUpon is what actually brought me to Reddit when Cracked started to decline in their articles, and probably the same story for a lot of us between 30-40 that are in exodus from Reddit currently.

I actually tried to get away from Reddit probably 6 or more years ago to this federated thing but couldn't get into it then - but now with Apollo going away and the CEOs opinion made clear how users like me are viewed, even if they reverted their API pricing I won't be back.

This is the style of community I'd like to be a part of.

And don't forget about Group X or the insane number of stick figure fighting flash videos. Shfifty-five.
