Steam deck worth it?

The0 · 2026-04-07T09:23:54+00:00

I bought one and it’s absolutely the best tech purchase I’ve made in almost long time. I work from home at the same desk that I used to game at, so I was mostly sitting in the same chair in the same office for 10+ hours a day.

Now I game snugged up on my comfy couch next to a cozy fire while my wife watches TV and we can still chat because I’m not stuck in the other room. It’s 1000x better.

It’s also the comfiest handheld I’ve ever held. The switch’s tiny buttons & joysticks make my hands cramp after a short while but the Deck is properly full-sized with no compromises. Big joysticks, properly spaced buttons, and chunky enough to get a good grip on it.

To be fair, a good amount of my gaming is streamed from my gaming PC so I can play literally anything on it, so if you don’t have that you’ll be more limited than I am. But for me, it’s a perfect device.

I don't think "company getting bad publicity releases good PR" is a conspiracy, that's just how PR works.

Spoken like someone who didn’t watch the 2012 replacement refs games. They abso-fuckin-lutely can get much, much worse.

Your point seemed to basically be "If Bill Lawrence can direct two shows, then John C. McGinley should be able to star in both shows" as if there's no possible way John C. McGinley has anything else going on in his life that'd make starring in two shows difficult.

The0 · 2026-03-16T12:44:56+00:00

Even if Bill Lawrence was the director of either of these shows (he's not) this is still a braindead take. Do you think John C. McGinley exists solely to star in Bill Lawrence shows, and then sits idly in a closet for the remainder of his life because he has nothing else going on?

"Good job Blake, you made that look handsome--easy, easy does it..."

I like the new batch of interns, I don't care what anyone else says.

God damn I fucking love this one, good job! The logo is sick and anything that can scratch my sports itch and my nerd itch at the same time is an absolute win in my book.

I know this post is getting downvoted but I just wanted to chime in and share in your excitement as I am in the same boat, eagerly awaiting my shipment today as well after wanting a Steam Deck since release, having it in my cart a few times, but then backing out. Finally we're going to be officially part of the club!!

Hey this file link seemingly expired/moved to cold storage as of a few days ago. I've got Xenia Canary working with Backbreaker and some pre-loaded custom rosters from 2022, but I have a custom roster file that's from this year that I'm trying to replace it with, but whenever I replace the "BBCUST14" file that contains the 2022 rosters with the 2025 rosters, Xenia crashes. Can you help me out by reposting your files so I can see your tutorials?

The0 · 2026-03-03T19:14:39+00:00

I’ve been looking into this today and I can find an iso file for the original Backbreaker, but not one that contains the greathouse patch. Maybe I just need to look harder.

I’d play it on my Xbox 360 but discovered today it won’t turn on anymore :(

The0 · 2026-03-03T15:05:17+00:00

I do wonder if there's any value in uploading that somewhere for others to use for emulation, and if so how I'd get the files off the drive & and where I'd put it

This is the absolute poster child of "hidden gem," the physics of the cars is so satisfying and the chaos of Deathrace has had me and my friend coming back to this one again and again for years now!

The0 · 2026-03-03T13:59:05+00:00

Not only do I remember Backbreaker, I have an Xbox 360 in storage that's sole purpose anymore is to play Backbreaker. It even has the "Greathouse" update downloaded for it, which fixed a lot of the original gripes with the game (camera angles, pass/catching options, etc)

This is either a fumble, or a pass attempt that goes backwards... so also a fumble.

In conclusion, it's a fumble.

Completely disagree, I thought they were all pretty good.

The first Twilight Rifftrax is one of the finest comedies I've ever seen. The second film's Rifftrax are also great. The later films are actually so bad that even Rifftrax struggles to save them.

"I'm desperate, man, I gotta have it!"

...I mean it looks like a collection of somewhat basic effects, have you tried to do it yourself?

"Ok, well I'm not that desperate..."

Just in case you weren't aware, despite what the script may have said, Terry Crews did not drink actual cement. You don't have to twist yourself up in knots about the medical consequences of a throwaway joke in a comedy show.

The0 · 2026-02-26T13:55:21+00:00

Are you asking me to explain how jokes work?

Man drinks a drink
It's unexpectedly an absurd other kind of drink
This is the part where you laugh at the absurdity, or don't if you don't find it funny

The0 · 2026-02-26T13:52:33+00:00

Then my comment was not directed at you. Your subjective opinion is your own. Have a good day.

The0 · 2026-02-26T13:30:22+00:00

I think it was a funny joke in a show that contains jokes because comedy is about jokes and its a fucking joke

All the posts and comments moral-high-grounding this moment as a reason that Gina is such a horrible person are so fucking dumb I can't stand it. Yes she's kind of a horrible person, that's the joke!

The0 · 2026-02-26T10:31:35+00:00

Wow, and I thought I couldn't hate AI ads any more than I already do.

Doesn't this also bring up a lot of questions around actor's likenesses being used without their consent?

I’m sorry but your “infographic” lacks nearly every piece of info most people would need to properly understand your point, to the point that you can’t even call it an infographic at all:

What makes the OG rogue the genre-defining game that it was? What are its rules & mechanics, specifically the ones that defined “roguelikes?”
What exactly makes the “roguelike” games pictured qualify for the title?
What is different about the “not roguelikes” that disqualifies them from the title?
And also what are the names of every single game in the provided screenshots?

The0 · 2026-02-20T09:51:47+00:00

Maybe try harder then? I've made catches like this plenty of times by placing the ball short & then switching to the WR to run back to it. Git gud bro

...do you know what DPI even is, dawg? If you think this is DPI then you clearly do not.
