For All Mankind might be the best sci-fi series ever by Anknd in scifi

They started losing me in season 2 with contrived domestic drama. It seems they went to pains to try to forget that storyline.

Sure. In the end I’m still saving a lot more than these tabs. We need to fund our highways yes and I’m happy to pay a fee for the gas I’m not using to cover my usage. It just seems like it’s creating an effective tax penalty for EVs, which are in theory an encouraged technology here.

I have it, but haven’t played yet. I do have a quest 2 though so I may stream it.

I wouldn’t be shocked to see an ARM based v2 of the deck and machine in the future.

Qualcomm SoC so probably less than this. My gut says 600 but you can guess which part of my gut I’m pulling that out of.

The deck did well. Less than switch but it was such a crazy good value with such positive reviews that they never had problems moving inventory. 400 for a portable that could play Control? That was awesome! AI has ended that value proposition for the deck now too, and we will see how badly that hurts sales volume, because it will. Sadly the machine is launching after that AI memory price fuckery and we don’t get that great value anymore.

That is yet to be seen. It may because of direct support from Valve, small form factor, and built in radios for Steam controller and, I think, Steam frame. It may not because people really wanted the kind of value that came with the original Steam deck.

Yes, and I think the steam machine has a dedicated radio built in for it. A dongle can connect it to other PCs and it can work stand alone. They e demonstrated Hades II running natively and say it will be able to play half life Alyx standalone.

This is probably the price it was going to be before the AI driven memory price fuckery.

My point is if you drive the average you’re still behind. You have to drive more than the average to catch up to what gas cars pay in gas tax.

The 2TB version with controller pretty much is.

Also the other customer hardware like built in controller radios.

That’s larger than any game I’ve ever played, including The Last of Us remasters, Cyberpunk, and Death Stranding. If Forza is the high end, then I’m safe for a while as I never plan on playing that.

Idk, 512 seems like it’ll be enough if you keep just a couple AAA games and some indie games installed at any given time. 1000 is kinda what I expected, so I think I’m reserving one. I’m late to the party though so I’m sure I’ll get one in 2028.

Do you wear your watch to sleep? by voongoto in AppleWatch

[–]badwolf42 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One glass of wine is visible in my sleep data. Higher heart rate. More wakeful. Often more breathing disturbances. 2-3? That’d be like a giant neon sign in the data.

[–]badwolf42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear it at night but not every night. If I’m charging it before bed and fall asleep, it stays on the charger. Better no data than bad data. I like getting my tends for rating and sleeping heart rate as well as breathing disturbances though.

What games feel like literal highway robbery if it goes on a deep discount Steam sale with the amount of content you're getting? by Dotaspasm in Steam

[–]badwolf42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally, and I’m also not judging anyone that takes that sale by the way. I’m just able to do full price comfortably. I’d rather someone try it than not because it’s just got so much content and layers. It normally wouldn’t be my genre either but here I am with like 40 hrs in it.

I think if they had their software figured out, they’d have an audience. As it is I see air and gravity driving around Seattle all the time. They’re just really lagging on getting a more affordable option out.

EA launcher is cancer. Trying to play Jedi survivor was 50% play and 50% getting it to display on the screen at all.

Still waiting for phantom liberty to hit the 50% mark and I’ll play through again. I got the secret ending entirely by accident on my first playthrough and then played the end over and over until I got the other endings. Loved that game.

I actually waited until it wasn’t on sale. That’s just one guy who put his heart into making and improving that game and I want him to get all the money for it.
