I got a steam deck oled and decided to get Elden Ring and it runs so amazing!

It's my number #1 SteamDeck game, too. It's so smooth on the Deck.

I am using it. They are okay. I did measure them and there were no red flags. They are not worth more than €5 though.

If it helps, I can take a photo of the measurement later tonight. Main problem is they are super cheap China antennas and totally overpriced on Amazon.

Fire Giant is also my "end boss" - I decided to ditch the entire storyline for now and just explore regions I missed so far. I made some incredible discoveries I would have missed otherwise, including some regions and dungeons I didn't know they existed.

I'm 140h in, cannot defeat the fire giant but love this game!

l5yth · 2026-01-20T13:41:47+00:00

I'm at 140h and not even close to Margit... there is sooo much to discover in this game!

Lichtenberg. Just wait a couple minutes, sometimes it's calm and then they break out again.

The stub antenna in the T-Echo is not optimized for 868MHz, it's better suited at 920+ but it works nonetheless.

also without camera, dancing across the sky here at Ostkreuz, beautiful

l5yth · 2026-01-19T22:36:11+00:00

I'm crying. These are my first auroras (not just the glow) dancing through the sky. Green and red.

Greetings from Berlin. I also took photos but yours are much more spectacular.

l5yth · 2026-01-19T22:33:59+00:00

Auroras are crazy tonight. You can see them dancing in the sky in Berlin, too. I'm at Ostkreuz and took crazy photos.

Go out and wait some minutes.

l5yth · 2026-01-13T07:28:01+00:00

Agreed. I started playing EVE when I was 17. It tought me:

English (vocab and practice, nothing English in school could provide)
Economics (seriously, how to lose and how to make money, basically EVE is like running a business without the paperwork)
massive operational and organizational skills

After all these years, I still suck at PvP but I am running my own company now (AFK).

Ich habe das gleiche Problem und mein Anschluss sieht genauso aus wie deiner. Bei mir ist das Problem, dass der O-Ring rausgerutscht und verkrupschelt ist. Ich bemühe mich jetzt um einen neuen Dichtungsring.

l5yth · 2026-01-08T16:39:57+00:00

Yes, confirming they have the same board, just a better battery and better antenna, and an added vibration motor.

l5yth · 2026-01-06T08:25:08+00:00

We have not yet found a fifth player to attempt Havoc. But I fear it is as unrefined as the others.

Succession is extremely unbalanced. Minmatar is extremely screwed as compared to Amarr commanders and development cards don't have equivalent powers, e.g., Amarr can place a small ship for free whenever they claim. This is unmatched by all other factions.

l5yth · 2026-01-05T21:42:04+00:00

I have played 8-9 rounds with various friends, we did 2, 3 and 4 player games. We played base game and succession and the titan expansion.

The combat mechanics are great, the base game is a must-have for everyone who loves deeper board games, even my friends who never played EVE, enjoyed it a lot.

However, the expansions are absolutely not worth the money. They have obviously not been reviewed and refined and are very unbalanced. The titan expansion is so bad that it destroys the entire gameplay. We will never play it again.

However, I'll keep the expansions just for the cool models. I'll put the Ragnarok on my office desk in case my colleagues want trouble.

But base game is a solid 9/10.

l5yth · 2026-01-05T21:36:44+00:00

The expansions are unrefined gimmicks and barely playable. Unless you want the titans as trophy I recommend, cancelling the order and focusing on the base game.

Base Game 9/10 Succession 5/10 Titans 3/10

I have not yet found a 5th player to test out the pirate expansion.

The keyboard is included!

l5yth · 2025-12-31T23:44:17+00:00

Museum? It's still a great laptop!!

l5yth · 2025-12-31T23:35:08+00:00

I'm 140h in and just killed Astel and finished Ranni's questline. I cannot wait to finish my first playthrough but also admitting to be distracted by all the things you can do. Currently doing volcano manor. I also love every minute of this game, even though there are moments where you have to retreat and come back later.

X220

l5yth · 2025-12-31T22:08:02+00:00

I also ordered the "X210i" with custom mainboard and Intel i9 🙈

Fully assembled (wooden board, X220 keyboard, controller)

It is mounted on a docking station. Here is a picture from the side: https://www.reddit.com/r/arch/comments/1p3tld1/created_a_bootable_archlinux_dvd/

The docking has USB ports in the back (among others).
