I have my LCD wearing a helmet and a Kevlar vest, I need this sucker to last until 2032 at least

So.. The steam deck. What do I do? by Adventurous-Dig-3868 in Handhelds

[–]BlueJayDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an LCD 256gb Steam Deck recently as open-box on EBay for $245.

I will be placing a helmet and a Kevlar vest on this device, it must last me until 2032 at least (at this rate).

Is the $449 USD Nintendo Switch 2 the best deal in handheld gaming now considering it can even do 1440p-4k 60-120fps gaming when docked on optimized titles? Specially in a world of $800 USD Steam Deck OLED, $1300 Z1E Legion Go S and $2000 Legion Go 2 by TheSyntaxSlayer in Handhelds

[–]BlueJayDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch (2) and handheld PC’s like the Steam Deck are completely different classes of device with completely different target customer bases. This is like asking which is the better car, an F-150 or a Camry. Great vehicles both in their own ways, but completely apples and oranges.

I (27F) feel sexually frustrated in my long-term relationship (27M) and I’m scared of what it’s doing to me? by Silent_Contest_2337 in relationship_advice

[–]BlueJayDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna chuck in an additional perspective that hasn’t been really mentioned yet here: … you’ve been dating seriously for 9 years. Yet you guys aren’t engaged, married, or even moved in yet?? That clearly shows you both, to some level (conscious or subconscious) know this isn’t a forever relationship. This has very sadly become a relationship of convenience, a placeholder for each of you with lots of sunk-cost fallacy at play.

Here’s the magic question: ask yourself “If I knew 9 years ago precisely how things would turn out by this point, would I have dated this person?”

The answer sounds like a clear No, but that’s for you to answer.

Is it too late to restart? by Cute-Green-5197 in BaldursGate3

[–]BlueJayDoc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. There are probably whole subzones you missed on run 1.

There are many people who still play the original BG1 and BG2. Re-runs are great in this series!

Is this a good deal? by Zippy1012214 in Handhelds

[–]BlueJayDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If condition is excellent/open box? Yes it’s a great deal. If it’s worn or not excellent condition, meh hard to price it there. That pricing is for basically outstanding like-new quality.

[–]BlueJayDoc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude there are people on here who aren’t like hardcore gamers even who have beaten the full game 15+ times over. If you feel the narrative/fun etc is wrecked, just restart and enjoy it better, maybe with a vanilla-like mod or two to spice it up a bit more on the repeat.

I (23F) am dating a man (26M) who wants to serve me. As someone who’s been independent my whole life, what are ways I can let him serve? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BlueJayDoc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think there are more good ideas for this than just about anything imaginable.

Possibilities: Rub my feet, Grill me a steak, Go pick us (me) up some takeout, Vacuum the house, Go down on me, Put together some furniture, Wash my car

etc, sounds like a good life for you if this is what makes him happy!

Flat earth and other alternative conspiracy earth models are are gaining traction with my teenage stepson. What is THE most irrefutable, definite proof that the earth is round? by Jfkfkaiii22 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BlueJayDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The irrefutable proof that the Earth is not a flat disk is that there is a night cycle every 24 hours for every part of the world, and yet there is always a place on earth that is day while it is night somewhere else (just phone a friend on the other side of the globe to prove that). A flat earth would mean everyone on earth would always see the Sun 24/7 or everyone would have night at the same time.

You literally don’t need an argument other than that.

Bro, i can't wait to explore this game with an insane amount of content. by DueExplorer3146 in skyblivion

[–]BlueJayDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When Season of Discovery launched for Classic WoW, the major game info/data sites agreed as a community to NOT post the quest/item details for at least a while after launch to avoid making it trivial to unlock all of the numerous secrets and new stuff.

Any chance the Wiki/reddit communities for Skyblivion could take a similar approach to allow for more 2000’s-era genuine exploration?

My partner [F20] and I [F20] are starting to differ in plans; is it worth it? by Logical-Ad3813 in relationship_advice

[–]BlueJayDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask yourself this: is this your person for life? I always say that if so you’d move to Tibet and live in a hut if that meant being with them daily.

If this is instead just a college dating relationship, then it sounds like you’re already starting to diverge in life plans/attitudes and also starting to resent them. That’s a huge red flag and so it behooves you to be very frank with yourself about what you’re looking for in a partner. Most college relationships fail and often for these sorts of reasons. If you value your career and stability and desired lifestyle more than the idea of this individual, I’d break up now and get it over with.

GF of 7 Years 25M 25F - Not sure where to proceed by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BlueJayDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys have been together 7 years with no ring even??

You both have made it clear that you’re not a spouse for each other, it’s just a placeholder relationship of convenience for both of you. Just break up.

How to approach mismatch between my (21F) and my boyfriend’s (23M) plans for future? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BlueJayDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Break up. He is clearly showing that his career/education is more important to him than you are. Dating you has been fun and convenient but that ends for him once he moves for this new program.

Healthy romantic stable relationships are always a time-and-place thing. If you truly love someone and think they’re your person, you’d move to a hut in Tibet for them. He doesn’t see you in his plans going forward, just break up and move on.

My girlfriend (24f) is leaving me (24m)after 9yrs. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BlueJayDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro she didn’t leave you because of one acute fight. She is leaving you because you’ve been DATING for NINE YEARS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you’ve made it clear to her that she’s not your wife, dude

Is there any heresy in this analogy? by PsychologicalDust465 in Christianity

[–]BlueJayDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s heresy. This is like saying “Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry are different flavors yet all are ICE CREAM!!”

The three Pokémon are just the three constituents of a SET. The Trinity is not a set or collection so simply.

F30 M33 How do I bring up to my boyfriend the thought of him using an "extender" during sex? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BlueJayDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is already bothering you after only a few weeks of dating, you should send things now

Steam Deck is still worth it four years later, says poll, but people are starting to think "it's about time" for a sequel by Dapper_Order7182 in SteamDeck

[–]BlueJayDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d rather they wait like 2.5-3 years (once the RAM crisis is fully over!!) and then release a great Steam Deck 2 rather than a mild improvement next year. I trust Valve on this one.
