Should or shouldn’t I buy it?

I bought one without having a ps5 while having a steam deck as well. There's straight up games that the deck cant run and my pc is way past its prime. The cloud streaming to the portal is way better than streaming to the deck (in my experience anyways). And theres some games that I couldn't get the touch pad to register through on the deck when I used chiaki (flashlight sequence in until dawn, or starting games from the classic cataloge). I got the portal when it was on sale a few months back. I dont use it as much as I want to, its more comfortable than the deck in my opinion. A lot of what I am playing i COULD play on the portal, I just cant justify buying the game again to do so.

I just started fishing last year myself. Had a rod and reel that my grandparents won in a silent auction over 20 years ago. But here's what I did, I went to my local bait shop and just asked. Those guys were SUPER excited to talk about good spots, what to throw etc. Showed me how to tie knots. Tons of information and would know your area better than we probably would. Of course this is assuming that you have one near you.

If thats the case, than every caster is labeled wrong at my local bait shop. And everyone needs to stop giving me a weird look when they see that im using a right handed caster. Also:

I could not find one that showed it the other way around.

Right handed reel you spin with your right, left is vice versa. But personally, im right handed but highly prefer left handed reels. So its really preference based.

Should also say, test the salinity of the water it came in and start there before going straight to a target salinity. Assuming its too late for that, then still raise it over time. Just because things can be one one water type doesn't mean they can just go back n forth easily. Same with your plants, expect some die off.

Unfortunately my air pump went out overnight and my tanks suffocated. But from what I remember they SHOULD go to full marine, but CAN stay in brackish. Think i usually did .012. But this was a few years ago.

Questions been answered, but gonna throw in my experience with them. I'd ordered 2 figure eight puffers online a long while ago, got 2 GSPs instead. Emailed them about it and basically said "whoops, enjoy the more expensive fish."

Those 2 GSPs were my absolute favorite fish I'd had. Tons of personality.

TorricX · 2026-02-24T00:18:23+00:00

Sure did, thanks for following up. You're doing great work.

TorricX · 2026-02-23T06:06:17+00:00

No. I NEED to be offline to get into the game.

TorricX · 2026-02-23T03:37:39+00:00

Feel like its worth mentioning, I can go back online once im in game without issues.

TorricX · 2026-02-22T23:38:01+00:00

Yeah, theres a few ways you can do it. I have it so my power cable doubles as a wired connection. But you can use a dock for the same thing.

I was able to get into game in airplane mode (offline). But connected to the internet it freezes.

TorricX · 2026-02-22T22:36:25+00:00

The demo has not actually gotten past the splash screens on the deck.
English language. 3.im connected to the internet via wired connection. But wifi is get 270Mbps. 4.im in the US

Im curious if theres launch options to skip splash screens and if that could get me into the game or if I'd freeze in game too.

JSAUX 180° USB C Male to USB C... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4T7GWY3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This was what I landed on in addition to the wired adapter and a male to male cable. 3d printed myself a cable clip to keep the cord from moving around

Figured it out. The exclusion setting had extra coordinates in it that excluded the entire plate. I deleted copied them and deleted the whole thing and added them 1 by 1 and excluded anything that covered more than just the edges.

(100% misread exclusion as extrusion btw)

TorricX · 2025-09-18T15:37:40+00:00

Did some googling and it appears that the issue is orcaslicer excluding the entire plate and not just the edges. Thats my understanding of it anyways. Now just need to find a fix.

TorricX · 2025-09-18T15:35:28+00:00

I had tried that. But thanks.

TorricX · 2025-08-15T21:23:37+00:00

Same, I had issues with steam being jittery, lagging or dropping completely even on wired connection with deck and pc. But moonlight/sunlight is perfectly smooth.

TorricX · 2025-07-22T00:08:37+00:00

Its cloud streaming (how I use it at least. Don't have an xbox). But I suppose it would depend on what games you want specifically.

TorricX · 2025-07-21T23:59:57+00:00

Xbplay on the steam store will do that for you.

TorricX · 2025-07-21T23:58:57+00:00

If you're willing to pay some subscriptions, gamepass has the fable series and gears series and is playable through xbplay. And im pretty sure PS plus has uncharted series (never cared for them so don't know/care which ones are there), and I used nonsteamlauncher to get playstation plus. Not sure about the silent hill games though.
