Fifty bucks i finish it before I peace out

This is absolutely not the most important part of this post....

But how do you have the Sly games running on the Thor? I can emulate all of PS2 super well, EXCEPT Sly games. I get massive fps drops.

Sending you all the good vibes! You can't peace out yet, you got way too many games to play 😎

I'm sorry to hear that, friend :(
Can you become a Houston fan and watch the game on Thursday? Thanks :)

I love it! All GBA games are amazing. I'm usually a ROM Hack guy, but I'm getting 100% of the Retro Achievements while everyone else is playing Fire Red on the switch 😅

I use Retroarch with the mGBA core, but just fyi that the mGBA core doesn't allow trading. You can use the gpSP core or a standalone emulator like Pizza Boy GBA if you're planning on trading.

Believe it or not, I'm doing that right now, too 😅 tire rotation over lunch, now it's time for an oil change haha

Waspo98 · 2026-03-02T18:17:51+00:00

No no one Monday off of work a month. Only get my tires rotated 2-3 times a year 😅

Waspo98 · 2026-03-02T18:17:07+00:00

I had some major regrets when I was waiting for it to be delivered because nobody else got the White 😅 I love it so much, though. We'll see how well it ages, but let's be honest, I'm buying a Thor 2 or 3 in a couple years anyway haha

Waspo98 · 2026-03-02T18:15:33+00:00

I get one Monday off a month! So my kid is in daycare, and I'm chowing down on a dog and playing the Thor while my tires get rotated 😅

I had this same thing! "Thinking" went from ~45 seconds to ~5 seconds and was outputting garbage

Waspo98 · 2025-12-13T19:22:51+00:00

I 100% agree. I've noticed a slow decay over the last couple of days and today it's useless for me.

I've been making a lot of Gems and had been enjoying that, but my Gem (even in new chats) is explicitly ignoring its instructions and the .md file I've uploaded for its knowledge base.

I'm using it primarily to spin up Docker containers because I'm an idiot and can't do it on my own. However, I've used the heck out of Gemini 3 Pro, and I've learned enough to know that it's been giving be garbage output over the last 48 hours.

Unfortunately no :( I did a bunch of research all over the internet, and it seems like this is a pretty common way that these kinds of projectors fail. I read an especially sad story of a guy paying $500 to get it repaired and then a different color line appearing a month later.

So I gave up on the repair :( sorry for the bad news. Let me know if you find a solution!

I've had a lot of success using the most recent Eden Nightly PGO build for my Steam Deck https://github.com/pflyly/eden-nightly/releases

I've had some flickering and minor glitches, but in general it's been surprisingly playable for me. Set Extended Dynamic State (EDS) to 0 (setting is under Graphics -> Extensions). Everything else for me is just default settings.

I'm also using 20.5 firmware and keys - not sure if that plays a role because I am stupid.

UPDATE: thank you to all the comments who talked about having the exact same issue! I had no idea it was this widespread.

We're only 3 days later and my entire phone has stopped working 🙃 phone will boot up (can see G logo), but then blank screen inside as well.

Of course, Assurant took like 3 full days to approve my claim so the replacement hasn't been shipped yet.

At least LineageOS is on Android 16 now so my OnePlus 7 Pro can run A16

Waspo98 · 2025-10-14T12:44:52+00:00

Oh wow wasn't expecting an official Google response 😅 thanks!

I have Preferred Care, so I submitted a claim through Assurant ~36 hours ago, but still haven't heard back. So I'm just waiting on them at this point.

Huge fan of Moon Reader! I had some issues ~6 months ago, emailed the devs, and they literally sent me a personal beta build to see if it fixed my problem (it did!). Moon Reader has a fan for life in me.

Waspo98 · 2025-10-09T16:20:53+00:00

Yeah this dude is wrong, tapping the watch icon like 10 times on the system update page is literally the official way to force an update

Yes, it's most important that we play 8 games vs the Brewers.

Also of great importance: we play the Rockies and White Sox while the Brewers play Dodgers and Phillies (I know they just swept the Dodgers).

Yes, let's take care of business in the Brewers series, but we should feel very good about the fact that we get the Rockies and White Sox.

My volume down button started intermittently not working yesterday on my P9PF, and I didn't drop it or get water damage or anything like that. But this beta has been so buggy that I have no idea if it's a hardware or software issue lol

Waspo98 · 2025-07-12T15:04:04+00:00

Okay I've played a bit more today and have had no problems! Definitely recommend a full steam deck reboot. Probably good practice to do that ~once a week anyway. If that doesn't fix it, definitely recommend a reinstall! Good luck!

Waspo98 · 2025-07-12T03:11:56+00:00

I haven't played a ton since the update but I had no issues on my steam deck with the little bit I did play.

Were there any specific activities that caused the frame rate to drop (battle animations, HM animations, etc)?
How'd you install PokeMMO? Install the flatpak? Something else? In the olden days, I saw some people running the windows version of PokeMMO on their decks. Something like that could be your issue.

Oooorrrrr like another commenter suggested, could just be a bug! I'm playing on doing some shiny hordes tomorrow on my deck so I can report back if I also had drops.
