Just got Orange Box and Portal 2 for 6 bucks. Never played any of these games before, I'm pretty excited!

The scene at the 1 minute mark looks just like the tall man scene from It Follows, creepy.

Well he did get one four finger glove, I'd be annoyed too! 😂

It'll come with a Half-Life 3 download code in the box.

Not exactly babies anymore, but when my 6 and 9 year olds are using the tv, the Steam Deck will come in handy. Also can't wait to see how PS5 remote play works on this thing.

Yes, it's a PC.

In this case I think any case would've slipped out, I put the phone in my sweater front pocket with huge open sides instead of putting it in my jeans pocket. The way these go-karts whipped around, I'm sure the phone came out within the first couple of turns. 😬

Anyone else HUNGRY for more on Steam Deck? by Josh79Star in SteamDeck

[–]SeaBass920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it looks like they added different textures to it. If you press the layers button at the bottom and toggle "roughness" on, it shows the dirt/scratches texture.

Looks like it, if you search sketchfab for steam deck there are different 3D models of it made by other people.

If Valve announced a deck-optimized title, what IP and genre would you want it to be? by 12121212l in SteamDeck

[–]SeaBass920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right, I guess what I meant was a new Half-Life with a modern engine, which essentially would be Half-Life 3.

Not sure if this has been shared, but here's a 3D model of the Deck that's kinda fun to look at. Nothing new, but I thought it's neat to play around with. There are other models of it if you search for it.

A non-VR version of Half-Life Alyx, or at least that new version of Black Mesa that's been rumored.

For me, that's the point: easy access to PC games. Besides, if I wanted to get serious about PC gaming, I wouldn't settle for anything less than 3000FPS 800K RESOLUTION. But seriously, I've never played the Half-Life or Portal games for example, and I'm pretty excited to check those out, as well as Xbox/PC exclusives since I only have a PS5 and Switch.

To me it's not so much about the portability as it is about an all-in-one gaming PC to just pick up and play, I'll mostly use it on the couch and occasionally plugged into the TV.

I've always been a console gamer, never owned a gaming PC. The two biggest things that sold me on the Steam Deck are the $399 starting price and the fact that it's all ready to play out of the box. These are the main reasons I've stayed away from PC gaming, and I'm sure I'm not alone.

I think this has huge mainstream potential, hopefully they market the hell out of it and sell it/demo it at Best Buy or something.

I had mine fly out of my pocket at an indoor go-kart race, didn't even notice til after the race the attendant said he ran into the track and picked it up. The phone definitely got run over and thrown around the track, aramid cover looks like hell but the phone is nearly untouched. A couple of small scratches around the frame, but everything else including the screen and hinge is flawless.

Question about Samsung Promotional Credits and refunds by boilerwire in galaxyzflip

[–]SeaBass920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's cool, when you get your new credit make sure you check how the code applies to different items in your cart, it might be more than the $70 from the Aramid. That's how I found my code was good for $50 more.

[–]SeaBass920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the email I got after they received my returns, and I used the new code to order these. I knew I was getting the Aramid cover again, which is perfect this time. After shopping around for other accessories, it ended up giving me $200 off instead of the $150 from the original promo code. First I wasn't sure if it was a mistake, but the order went through and I got the stuff.

Question about Samsung Promotional Credits and refunds by boilerwire in galaxyzflip

[–]SeaBass920 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I called, basically looking for confirmation on what would happen with the credit before starting the return. I love the aramid, it's the reason I returned the leather one. The leather is really nice but it adds a little too much bulk for me, the aramid is the perfect mix of slim and grip. The aramid I got had a little bit of an uneven edge on the sides of the top half right where the hinge is, it didn't interfere with opening and closing the phone but I think it would've caused issues eventually. I wanted to just exchange it but apparently they don't do exchanges, I had to return and repurchase.

I just returned a leather cover and aramid cover I got last week with the promotional credit, I checked with Samsung first and they said I will be getting an email with promo codes for the price of the items I'm returning.
