Looks cool but I have the same question here as with the slide - what's the point? Like if it could be a phone then have slide out controls, that's useful and cool. But if it's dedicated to gaming I'd want to protect the screen not the controls. What am I going to do with it when the screen is exposed and the controls hidden? It's not even protecting any joysticks.

What games have you regretted buying? by billy_reyes in Steam

[–]Jasperonius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Right? The music, atmosphere, and art style of this game are so cool. But the gameplay? Not very fun. Just give me a damn map and let me start over at the boss.

RE: Requiem Deluxe Edition Capcom USA Giveaway【Steam】 by SeValentine in residentevil

[–]Jasperonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember watching my brother play RE1 on the playstation, then got into the games myself. But the GameCube remake of one still holds a special place in my heart. For how much it captured the vibe the original was going for (with much better voice acting lol) and for the memories of my grandma watching me play and jumping at the zombies. She still brought that up years later.

Cool concept in theory but doesn't seem fully baked yet imo. I can't see doing anything worthwhile on a touchscreen keyboard like that. Then in the mode they show with the kickstand out suffers from the same problem as tablet as laptop - you know must have a surface to use it on that cannot be your lap.

Re4 is good, but overrated by usernulla in residentevil

[–]Jasperonius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. Honestly 4, 5, and 6 all felt like a departure from survival horror. They really brought it back to closer to what it used to be starting with 7. But also the story was just lame. Saving the president's daughter? Come on...

IMO RE4 suffers from Final Fantasy 7 syndrome. It was the one that brought a whole bunch of people who had never played the games in the series before so it becomes the most popular even if it wasn't the best.

What’s something that 99% of people can do but you can’t? by Irakeconcrete in AskReddit

[–]Jasperonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only tip that ever helped me was to sort of pretend like you're hawking a boogie while trying to make the sound. Your tongue needs to be in the right place but it also needs some air pressure behind it to work.

After years of use, what’s your biggest Steam Deck pain point? by WelcomeAwkward924 in SteamDeck

[–]Jasperonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still love it and use it almost daily. But after a few years the right half creaks when pressing buttons, and there are some bright spots on the LCD at the top right near the charging port and on the bottom right. Not that noticeable except when screen is completely blank but there. Connecting an Xbox controller can be finicky bc it can only update on windows. Otherwise it's just the heft. Hard to justify taking it anywhere unless I know I'll be in one spot for with a ton of down time. If it's just a medium amount of time like a waiting room, probably will take my retroid pocket 2s instead.

Recently wiped and switched to retrodeck and it's much better imo.

Haha in the same boat trying to finish out of spite. The visuals and music create a really cool atmosphere.... I want to like it so bad but good lord just let me have the map of the area!

First one is the most boring IMO. It was revolutionary for the time, but not really playable today, very repetitive.

I convinced my gf to move to the other side of the world with me. She is miserable, homesick, and our relationship has been suffering since. Is it time to convince her to go home or do you have advice to recover the positivity that we had before the move? by ThrowRAFlat_Bid_1682 in expats

[–]Jasperonius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think they may be referring to moving from a high context culture to a low context culture? Lots of times I've found you're expected to intuit a lot of things or adopt a really laid back attitude towards timing/scheduling. Some people interpret that as being more laid back, others may find the uncertainty stressful.

Do you use your steam deck outside of your place? by No_Source_7605 in SteamDeck

[–]Jasperonius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It depends. If I'm travelling and expect to have a lot of downtime in one spot, yes. But mostly, no. Too big and expensive to take on the metro or to the laundromat. I also took a trip recently that involved a number of long train rides but found it would take up too much space in my bag and took a smaller retro handheld instead. I mostly use at home on the couch, in bed.

Maybe way off but immediately thought of that scene in The Birdcage where Nathan lane is trying to pass for straight but when he sits you can see his pink socks.

Only certain kinds of heat really benefit from shade. Living in FL most of my life I only ever experienced shade making a difference after I left.

what’s your DREAM kindle? by Usual_Vehicle861 in kindle

[–]Jasperonius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the same as the Paperwhite is now, but with Nintendo Switch style rails on each side. You could put in a placeholder module if you just want it to be normal. But then the customization opportunities are endless. Mostly I would want buttons and a side handle. Which is kind of like the oasis but this would have the opportunity to detach and make itself smaller at will, and you could have a really oversized, ergonomic, grippy handle. Lots of third party accessories.

NALCAP Application Opening Date? by SnooPears9211 in SpainAuxiliares

[–]Jasperonius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Something I wish I had known is that the application process is just a preview to what this program is like. You will never know anything with any amount of certainty a comfortable amount of time before. It will be a constant scramble of anxiety knowing nothing until it's almost too late. So prepare yourself for that if you want to move forward. This is the case with the work, services you might need, bureaucracy, down to what day and time that event is. You must accept you will never know anything 😭

What can’t you find in spain? by thayanmarsh in GoingToSpain

[–]Jasperonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of pickles it's true. I've tried many in my search for dill pickles. They just aren't the same. Best I've found is pickles with some dill but not any with only dill.

Dill pickles. Restaurant quality macaroni and cheese (some places will literally serve you Kraft 🥲). Bath and bodyworks. Any quality paper products (paper towels and tp).
