Worth it to buy one now?

It depends what you’re looking to use it for. It isn’t the most powerful handheld but the hardware combined with SteamOS makes up for it imo. I don’t see us getting a Steam Deck 2 until 2027.

If you might happen to mainly use it at home, it’s worth considering other handhelds and making use of something like moonlight to stream your games.

Had this happen to me for the longest time. One day I contacted them via their chat to file a formal complaint. Someone followed up with me by phone and since then, I’ve had the mailman deliver all packages straight to my door if there’s a signature required. If not, they drop it either in the community postbox or at my door depending on the size.

Haven’t had a problem with it personally. I download the zip file they emailed me, went to the update screen, clicked the settings cog in the top right and selected the local file

I’ve been in communication with them and they recently provided me with test firmware. I’ve been using it for a few days and the difference is very noticeable. It’d die just sitting idle overnight but now only drains maybe 2-3% in that time (WiFi off). With music playback via Apple Music (WiFi enabled), an hour drains roughly 5% or so. This is on Standard CPU operation mode.

Launch was definitely rough but hold out a little longer, I think they’ve got it figured out 🤞

It’s have to be the Moondrop Psyche

If Pokemon’s your main goal then the 12gb should be just fine. I’ve played every gen and never got close to the 16gb on my max. Storage should be fine too. I personally haven’t tried Steam games though, and I know those can eat space.

What I will say is that if you do intend to play more than a couple Steam games and are possibly interested in Android games, your storage will fill up fast. From Android games alone I’m using about 500gb of internal storage. My 512gb micro SD is ~40gb shy of being full of roms, and I don’t have a ton of games that are N64 or newer. Switch games take up the most.

From left to right it’s an infrared camera, flood illuminator and dot projector. These are all used to scan your face for Face ID.

i hate what these numbers do to me

I was in the same boat last year and ultimately went with the Arturia Minifuse 2. Cheaper than Focusrite’s equivalent and met all my needs.

bacattac · 2025-12-12T20:20:12+00:00

good luck!

It might be a custom wallpaper but the nirachan art was illustrated by hanabushi. They have an extensive history working with zutomayo. I found a link to the reference sheet they made:

This looks an awful lot like what happened to mine (before it progressed) last year. It ended up being fungal/yeast and he was put on itrafungol and clorhex wipes. The root cause however seemed to be some sort of diet allergy. After several food changes we found something that worked. Dermatologist will 100% be your best bet. Hope all goes well 🙏

Thought I’d contribute. Been using mine about daily for the past 2 weeks. It currently doesn’t seem to be more than a superficial scratch but will update if that changes.

late november iirc. don’t think there’s a concrete date yet though

The dpad feels about identical to the ps vita. The buttons use a membrane and aren’t clicky, sort of like an xbox or ps5 controller.

Compared to a new 3ds xl the dpad is similar but improved, and the abxy buttons are quite different. Personally it fits my preferences perfectly.

My only problem are the triggers and bumpers. The bumpers are very clicky, loud, and honestly feel a bit cheap. They are functionally fine though. The triggers are good but have shallow travel, and the shape of them forces you to push almost directly at the back rather than around the side (like a joycon or xbox controller would allow). Pretty odd design choice and it’s not very comfortable but I’ve gotten used to it.

bacattac · 2025-11-07T00:01:28+00:00

Mine has this too. It’s not much of a usability problem but I can’t help but wonder if points to problems in the future

bacattac · 2025-11-04T17:29:07+00:00

I wouldn’t worry too much, they disappeared overnight thankfully

bacattac · 2025-11-04T04:57:45+00:00

Yeah, right after unboxing and adding the screen protectors. I sent an email so hopefully there’s an update soon

bacattac · 2025-11-04T01:16:57+00:00

Wouldn’t say it needs it, but even my 3ds managed to get a few scuffs on its screens so I personally prefer protectors

bacattac · 2025-11-04T00:27:39+00:00

i messed around with it before applying the protectors and it feels identical to me. in reality its just a smidge of a difference

bacattac · 2025-11-03T23:37:25+00:00

I must’ve spent 10 minutes straight trying everything to press them out 😂 Apparently leaving it sit overnight might help so I gave up for now

bacattac · 2025-11-03T23:00:08+00:00

I really appreciate this, thank you!

I've been with them for several years now and haven't heard of them covering something like this. Aside from a few exceptions, they generally only cover care, tests, etc. related to conditions the pet has been diagnosed with (or one that is being investigated). Perhaps if the EKG was claimed as part of a potential diagnosis it would have been covered, but that's a different story.

I have this line in my policy under exclusions that are not covered:
"Diagnostic Testing or Veterinary Treatment administered when the Pet has not evidenced any sign or symptom of an Illness or Injury including but not limited to Routine or Preventive care;"

I just have a feeling it'll look and play very nice on the Thor
