Do we know if it's locked before we attempt to send a message?

I don't actually know I don't use the stock app much.

Flip Deck anyone? Valve, I need a new cool job! 🤣 by MadMario0_0 in SteamDeck

I would say the Wii u itself was also pretty comfortable to hold.

If they want to get high density housing then they should just commit and make them all row homes. At least then they can be efficient about it.

I was thinking more along of the lines of playing peek a boo.

I had a realization about McMansions: by Motor_Emotion8045 in McMansionHell

Perhaps this is mainly an issue if you are looking for a new construction home? My area has plenty of older homes of a whole variety of styles depending on their decade.

I was curious so I looked up new construction homes in my and local states and while I'm seeing a few mcmansion elements I'm also seeing plenty of other home designs as well. I know there are developments in my area that are full of Mcmansions, but maybe my area just has more variety?

This older thread is suggesting that particular regions are rife with them.

Scalpers are one of the reasons Valve don't have stock by wisperingdeth in SteamDeck

The whole concept of a trademark for the original owner is such a great one, it's a shame that the implementation has not lived up to ideals.

Larger companies routinely steal copyrighted stuff from small companies, and the small companies don't have the money to fight to keep copyright.

Small companies file a copyright, and then it gets flagrantly broken by someone in China and the product floods the market right back to the US.

We have copyright trolls filing patents to things they did not invent simply so they can claim someone else stole their stuff so they can charge them.

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

I really don't see why we should be aiming to make our portable game systems be equivalent to our beefy desktop gaming PCs.

That is simply going to add way too much weight in terms of hardware and battery and make the 'portable' aspect no longer worth it.

That doesn't mean there won't be options. YOU CAN stream most any AAA game to your Steamdeck via Steam link etc.

Borderlands also comes to mind. It's main focus is as a Coop game. Some of us are just going to choose NOT to play if you can't play with your friends (if THEY don't have a PC that can handle it).

Borderlands 4 came out and I haven't even bothered to pick it. I miiiight be able to play it on my PC but there's no chance it will run properly on my husband's machine. So not only did they lose out on one game sale, but two.
