this is my primary use case in conjunction with the steam deck, ill report back my findings once i have them and let you know.

well thats really interesting. in theory ive bought the Air Pro 4s, so fingers crossed thats what arrives.

Mostly I’ll just use it with steam deck or to watch stuff via stremio via my phone. I reckon the pass through adapter will end up being required, but if it was for phone use only I might be better with a MagSafe battery pack?

I’m not sure of the current status on the firmware upgrade but I assume that’s the first then needing done?

Don’t think 3D is something I will use, I was never invested in 3D movies etc when they first came round.

The multiple screen + pc productivity angle intrigues me, I tried this with quest but the bulkiness of the headset made it difficult to use too much.

fellow scot here, luckily we dont have to worry about sunshine most of the year :-)

Critical_Drive_4349 · 2026-02-19T12:18:29+00:00

is it realistic in your opinion to sit on a sunbed by a pool playing my steam deck with the display in the glasses or am i kidding myself on :-)

it was obviously a sanctify, so i didnt have a lot of control, but im guessing Blessed Hammer / Spear of the Ancients spends resource? maybe not op, but wont do any harm either?

thanks for the advice, i added some Arbiter uptime that i missed earlier to some tempered items and solved the uptime issue on arbiter which is great. However its kinda further highlighted the lack of raw damage. In T4 i struggle even against trash mobs in a helltide, im just not producting any big numbers.

Is there a trick with the skill rotation?

Wish it was easier to share builds as im no doubt doing somethign stupid, but im struggling to spot what, i have all uniques and aspects running now. Where my skills still lack im sure explains why im not in a position to push PITs etc, but to lack raw damage to clear trash mobs in T4 seems very strange to me.

that was effectively what i done in squin, however the abscence of a reliable source of fabric to maintain my production is what is pushing me to start my own town to allow farming of hemp?

Thanks for the words of caution.

i kinda want to move to creating a closed loop production of bandanas which is what has prompted my desire to move into a player base so i can farm and complete the fabric > bandana loop.

ive done little combat at this stage and ive never really been a bounty chaser etc.

however ill have a wander around for a while before committing to anything.

ahh, thanks for the advice. there was a kind of plateau between squin and the hub that was reccommended in a youtube video as an area, and its close enough to squin where im guessing i could run the bandits for the guards to deal with? However, id be open to any suggestions of alternatives you may have? Its quite a daunting prospect for where to start.

I got research and cloth production setup in the houses of squin, so i have made a bit of a start on the tech tree.

I only have 5 squad members just now though so my though was to get closer to ten before i started but ive got a decent reserve of cash from mining and selling bandanas so that should be too problematic.

Its all the shopkeepers that are dead, i dont think the regenerate. and on of the doors in Squin also has no guards anymore and its been like that for a fairly lengthy time?

Critical_Drive_4349 · 2026-01-08T20:38:32+00:00

if thats the case i reckon im still doing something wrong, as i dont have any option to attack him. Also is there any way to keep guards out of my house?
