And here I am still very happy with my $350 steam deck purchase and 2tb ssd upgrade. 🤷‍♂️

Okay, but can I promote Harry Kim?

”That guy” is the one banned. “The brother” is the King.

Yeah, don’t buy an HP. Love my Brother laser printer though.

I drive a Kia EV6, and love it. Kia pushes like 2 OTAs per year for updates and small bug fixes, but hasn’t rolled out any new features. They have a premium connectivity package, but nothing but remote bells and whistles are behind it.

I use my phone for the infotainment via CarPlay.

My phone acts like a phone, and my car acts like a car.

Now, the reason I have an EV6? I was a happy Chevy Bolt owner looking for a newer vehicle and was eyeing the Equinox EV. I noped out as soon as they announced the Google partnership and decided to remove CarPlay and BYOD as a feature.

The two things that will turn me off from a future purchase is lack of CarPlay, or paywalled “hardware” upgrades, like performance tweaks or locking out something installed like heated seats. Nope.

I can wait to play this on PC. I’m due for a dread replay though, perhaps after I complete Silksong.

There was a prime 3? After reading your post, I recall 1 and 2. 3 escapes me, although I must have completed it…

Now that’s one fit girl.

“Fingerprints.”

“No thanks.”

When was the last time you used Big Picture? I have a micro ITX build hooked up to my TV running Bazzite desktop, and have Big Picture loading at boot.

It’s a console. And it’s fantastic. It also lets me mod it so I can make it look like a Wii U if I wanted.

You got Jazz Jackrabbit to run on the steam deck? I tried to install everything GOG had available (including 2) and had no success with heroic. Teach me your ways.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think I have one of those from a humble bundle, I’ll have to check it out again (it’s been a while). The main thing I’m looking for is a kid friendly “auto steer / auto accelerate” mode that still gives him some sense of control. I noticed a lot of Nickelodeon, licensed games don’t include any voice acting, which irritates me, but the kiddo probably won’t mind.

Disney speedstorm has solid gameplay…. At the expense of being pay to win in most modes. I played enough to “unlock” split screen and politely explained to my kiddo he can only be one of like 3 characters. Damn shame the game has a slot machine barrier. As soon as this sonic game drops though I’m grabbing it.

Eh, I’m from Detroit, we drink Canadian beer and would never speak ill of our southern neighbors. Heck, I grew up watching Hockey Night on CBC and listening to 89x. Can’t speak for the rest of the country though.

But for real, these critters sound scary, and apparently we’re all out of science. Or any sort of common sense. Yeah, we’re fucked.

Hey Canadians, you guys still have science up there, right? I got a two-four of Molson or Labatt for ya if you can lend your continental neighbors a hand. Don’t do it for the US, but help out Mexico eh?

It worked for USB C? And y’all have alternate app stores over there too. I don’t believe it’s unrealistic to guarantee that a product you sell will remain functional after support ends.

I recently started playing Disney Speedstorm as a fun casual kart game without Nintendo.

The gameplay is fantastic. The music bangs. The netcode is… alright. The game is fun!

But holy crap am I glad I don’t care about cosmetics and characters. This game is printing money on the backs of parent’s credit cards. Assuming everything was unlockable, you’re probably looking at 4-5 figures.

I’d gladly pay $80 for a game of this quality, but this kind of predatory nonsense should be illegal. And until it is, I can understand why companies are drawn to making games like this - it’s an unpatched infinite money glitch.

Conover, are you flushing golf balls again?!

Can’t wait to watch Sam Porter Bridges building bridges as a porter for Bridges - without controller input.

I used to buy Levi’s, but not only have they dropped quality, they introduced some weird “in the know” naming scheme where they still make “old” Levi’s, but just charge $200 a pop for them. Now I just grab Kirkland.
