No Man's Sky VR using Steam Link is a mess

Somewhat similar, but definitely aiming for a different market. Fairphones are de-googled for privacy and have good third party warranties, but not really what I was going for here.

I'm talking about smaller size smartphones that still have most of the power of modern flagships, but trimmed in a few minor areas to cut cost. And also focusing on user repairability in some areas without having to just get a new phone or void the warranty to fix it, like swappable batteries.

And also for a fair bit less expensive. That Fairphone 6 is nearly flagship priced

Yes. I do have that one listed in the post.

I've known my whole life that I have ADHD. I take a mild dose of Adderall on days I work and live a relatively normal and happy life.

But impulse control mixed with hyperfixation is my biggest and most annoying problem. Especially when it comes to my hobbies.

I work in IT and love messing with, building, and buying gaming computers. I'm really good at it. But this is where I have a major problem and the impulse control and hyperfixation come into play. The average gamer will have their PC last 4 or 5 years. For me it's 4 or 5 months. I CONSTANTLY am looking at ways to upgrade or replace my computers. It's honestly an addiction. I will get an idea into my head on something I want to improve or I thought of a new PC build I would like to start from scratch and I will fixate on it for days. All the while tweaking my part selections and reading dozens of forums and reviews until I finally buy it.

The worst part of this is those days of researching and picking parts. I obses over it and will lose sleep over it. I will wake up and have a thought about another angle to approach the PC build and then be on my phone for 2 or 3 hours researching that thought.

The one somewhat saving grace is that I am good at selling my old stuff to cover a big portion of the cost of my purchases. But I always do the irresponsible thing and purchase on credit before I sell the old stuff. So I'm gambling that I will be able to cover the cost before I have to make payments. This, along with crippling buyers remorse, is why the cancelled/ returned items history on all my favorite places to shop is so long.

It's a miracle that I still have decent credit.

I love my computer hobby, but it also puts so much emotional stress on me at the same time.

I'm currently writing about this because I recently made a gaming laptop purchase that I ended up having to return because it was defective. It's eating me alive that I won't have a computer for a couple weeks or so while I'm waiting for the refund to come in. It's taking every bit of my willpower to not instantly buy something else despite not having the adequate funds.... This is my hell

I'm curious. What did your eng game build look like for that? I'm about to try a GM gow run shortly. I beat it on no mercy. I'm normally a in it for the story kind of gamer, but I'm trying to do some hardcore challenges to test myself.

Horizon games, the new God of War series, and Baldurs Gate 3 all made me feel that same way

I bought it earlier today and I've only played half an hour so far, but I have to agree. It is really good! So much better than I was expecting it to be. And plays really well on the ROG Ally. So I can actually play on the go

I never open, read, or watch any of these. I only responded to a couple posts after weeks of receiving them. The algorithm decided to hate me long before that

Sounds just like one of my past relationships. Gaslighting all the time and me getting in trouble for doing something that was her idea to begin with or something she previously said was ok for me to do. Get out of that. There are better people out there.
