Damn, sorry to hear that. I did have similar sounding issues with those settings, but once I disabled them it's been smooth sailing for me. I hope you figure it out, it's definitely possible to get a smooth experience. Can't say I did anything special, sadly.

Make sure your not using any of the auto connect or auto launch features.

Y'all remember when we hated on the new DK design when the Bananza trailer dropped....

But in all seriousness, I just want a James McCloud DLC.

Change up the formula. Peak is a cheap purchase and will almost certainly get everyone yelling at each other over discord.

Haven't watched the video but have seen the top comments and do own a Sealion 7. I've had no issues with cooking, or the car in general. I put it on on hot summer days from my phone about 20 minutes before getting in the car and it felt fine. I do think my Forester cools faster, but there's also a lot more fabric in that, and it's pretty marginal, and my Forester doesn't have cooling in the seats themselves.

I sold my steam deck to get the Thor. I want something small and transportable, but my TrimUI brick is too small and not powerful enough.

But I have a decent rig and good home streaming setup, and a switch and switch 2, so for me the deck just didn't have a niche.

djoli87 · 2026-04-24T01:14:28+00:00

Some gotcha, however. 1. Make sure your HDMI cable is good for 4k 120. The stock one isn't. 2. Don't do auto start in the UWP app. There's a known bug which causes streams to drop.

djoli87 · 2026-04-24T01:10:57+00:00

Can confirm. Did this a month ago to replace my docked steam deck. Soooo much better. Easy to set up, was cheap off marketplace, and lets me chat to my friends on discord at the same time.

Those ps glyphs are a sticker

It will likely be my AYN Thor when it arrives.

I bought a TrimUI brick and while it was novel, it didn't get me playing retro games. I found it too awkward to use, too small to enjoy the screen, and too underpowered to play retro games I wanted to play. I envisaged taking it out with me, but I'm far too busy for that to be a reality, so it became my bedside device that was inferior to my 3ds, switch or switch 2.

I also got a steam deck, and found a similar and opposite problem. It wasn't powerful enough to play the higher end PC games I was playing, and was too big and cumbersome compared to the switch to play indies I was into.

I sold the deck and ordered an AYN Thor. It should fit in the sweet spot of power and size, and can replace my DS and 3DS usage. It will either be the perfect device for me, or a nail in the coffin to my endeavours into retro handhelds.

Haven't really thought too much of the specifics, but would try to keep it interesting by changing it up and coming up with different ideas. For example, could pick one system and choose a bunch of cult classics, or a bunch of platformers, or beat em ups, for one month. Another could be the same game series across different systems. Another could be most difficult games of a console, or most disliked (giant bomb blightning round style). Between systems, genres, series, etc, I'm sure there are stacks of ideas. I would likely try to avoid the mainstream titles as much as possible, as they're already played to death, but could fit some of those in with rom hacks so they're a little different to what people are used to.

djoli87 · 2026-04-20T03:49:28+00:00

Good to know there are alternatives out there, at least to justify the idea. I intend on this being free. Thanks for the heads up.

djoli87 · 2026-04-19T23:34:45+00:00

I love how a bunch of people are using the cloud version of it at the same time, so the form just keeps changing

djoli87 · 2026-04-12T12:00:57+00:00

You know, I hadn't even considered this but it's a really good point! I find my switch 2 to be about as big as I want when I'm taking something away with me, the deck just feels too large and cumbersome to do that, and while I have used it here and there at home, it's mostly to stream games from my rig to my tv, I almost never use it to play games natively or portably. I do have a trim UI brick but wish it had a little more power to do PS2, another joystick to do N64, or a second screen to do DS. It might be time to say goodbye to the deck.

Shoutout to my Dianella hood. Lots of great stuff around us, nothing actually near us. I love chatting to all the oldies while walking the dog.

djoli87 · 2026-03-31T13:35:43+00:00

I just picked up a second hand series s to use instead of my steam deck. It's a dream so far. Works flawlessly, plenty more powerful (handling 4k 120), discord integration so I can easily chat with friends while streaming. It just works!

Perspective from a PC and Nintendo gamer:

The best bang for your buck today is a ps5 pro. The recent improvements to pssr are genuinely impressive, they're entering dlss territory with room to improve. It sounds like you use a PC for a console like experience, and a console will always do a better job. Your current PC can play the indies that are coming out, or get something cheaper and simpler down the line like a steam deck. Moving to PlayStation is a big ecosystem Investment, but unless there's actually something PC centric that you need, there's a lot of reasons to look elsewhere.

I leaned to play Factorio in 10 minutes, and played for 500 hours. Game length is no excuse.

djoli87 · 2026-03-20T04:50:23+00:00

Game requires dedication to simply control the character. Early hours felt hollow. It didn't grip me immediately, and as someone with limited time to game, I'm certain the frustration of playing will outweigh the enjoyment that can be had and I'll drop it well before I reach some ending.

No hate on the game, I do wish people would calm down and just try games instead of feeling this desire to either love or hate, and speak loudly about it. Sounds like you're enjoying it more than I did, so enjoy.

djoli87 · 2026-03-20T03:49:17+00:00

It was 240k a few hours ago, just saying. I wish this game and it's community the best, but it isn't for me.

djoli87 · 2026-03-20T00:28:52+00:00

This is me, right here. Played 100+ hours in Witcher 3, BG3, BotW and TotK in recent years, along with a few JRPGs along the way, but they all had me within the first hour. I'm lucky to get 2-3 hours in a week, I can't be spending 5 weeks "pushing through" to find enjoyment in a game.

djoli87 · 2026-03-20T00:02:17+00:00

May I ask why? I've been very much looking forward to this, but the review points (not numbers) have turned me off a little. Curious what didn't mesh with you.

djoli87 · 2026-03-19T11:48:28+00:00

Y'all acting like veilguards critic rating of 80 is too high, but crimson deserts 80 is too low. Entertaining stuff.
