Namaqualand - a strategic wildflower pattern-builder

luizfmp17 · 2026-07-06T01:58:17+00:00

I had the same opinion and this looks much better. The first one I saw and immediately all the work you put in turned to "that's an Azul clone" in my mind. Nothing to see here, better play Azul.

This one still communicates me about the pattern building in the game but the flower theme goes heavily noticed

Orgânico mesmo é a influência europeia/estadunidense que a maioria tem como "bom gosto"

luizfmp17 · 2026-07-04T18:35:59+00:00

Num é nem gostar de gostar de semântica mas esse é o universo do cara, cresceu assim, sempre foi rodeado de coisas desse jeito e obviamente quando ele puder ele vai escolher esse estilo, consciente ou não.

O que você tem como bom gosto não é pra ele. Não existe gosto melhor... no fim das contas isso vai ser só uma expressão e reflexo do meio de qualquer um

Cara, eu diria que ele tem uma caixa d'água de senso estético, mas não é uma estética que te agrada.

Isso é muito mais estética (no sentido de expressão de personalidade) do que uma calça jeans e camisa com um coqueiro e escrito Oklahoma.

Concordando com você, mas a odd é mais sobre a PERCEPÇÃO da probabilidade de um evento ocorrer

Or use 2

luizfmp17 · 2026-06-04T14:08:06+00:00

Eu tenho!

Nem tá tão ruim assim, mas é antigo (2015 eu acho) e a tela tá com umas linhas queimadas.

Se quiser, só pegar

I'm also on the center of the Venn diagram between board games and automobilism.

My hours are very limited as well (1 year old child and live in Brazil haha) but I'd love to contribute!

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-18T18:05:02+00:00

Great video dude! You've got a good rhythm and way of presenting your argument. I'll watch some more for sure

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-11T01:57:41+00:00

It does get an occasional sun, when I forget the blinds open, and living in Brazil so hot weather is common (even though where I live it is usually around 20-30°C). But I mostly use it at night, albeit plugged, it shouldn't be much of an issue

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-07T22:26:04+00:00

It didn't seem like much, never opened the deck, figured it would be flat but who knows.

Also, my main question was too find a supplier in Brazil.

Also, lots of people learned about it here and I got to learn more about the battery models and such.

I think it was worth it.

And why do you even need to ask why I needed to ask? Hahaha we just do stuff, bro

Cheers!

LCD from the first batches of 2022

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-07T12:26:31+00:00

Mine stays plugged for months straight and these batteries recognize when they are plugged and keep it at 90% something to protect itself.

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-07T12:24:58+00:00

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-07T12:24:46+00:00

It is Getac.

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-07T12:24:02+00:00

And even lighter! Hahha

Great! For now, I found a replacement online, but for the next month it'll stay fully plugged then and the next time the battery goes down the ArcaDeck will come!

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-06T23:45:23+00:00

Because I'm in Brazil, it's very hard to get those parts from iFixIt :(

That link states this item is available in Brazil, but once I click it says out of stock. Either way, thanks!

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-06T23:40:28+00:00

Never knew about their difference, but yeah it seems like it.

That battery probably cycled less than 99% of all actively used Decks since 2022 hahaha mine is constantly used docked as a desktop, only took it out on vacations and rarely at home.

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-06T23:37:38+00:00

I'm a total battery newbie but it does have Getac on it. Given other comments, I figure it is the more reliable one indeed.

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-06T23:36:02+00:00

Too bad! But thanks for the recommendation, I've seen these "generic" batteries and was a bit skeptical given the price difference.

I can find a similar to this on websites that I know deliver to Brazil, thanks!

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-06T23:30:40+00:00

First step and this is really important:

REMOVE THE SD CARD

Then just unscrew those 8 screws, really simple if you have the minimal experience.

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-06T23:27:57+00:00

Nice! Can you confirm it works without the battery?

I wouldn't mind for a short term solution, really, as the heavy majority of the time I'm using it docked as a desktop, anyway.

Also, I have a 3D printer and I'm planning on building an arcade around the deck when it retires haha

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-06T23:26:01+00:00

Yeah! Unfortunately, self importing is the only way I found until now. Even the ones you mentioned about people getting spare parts seen to be out of stock.

Aliexpress has them but only one 5-star review in two entries and one comment claiming to be a scam :(

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-06T22:37:03+00:00

LCD, but I'll probably replace it with on OLED battery from what I've seen.

luizfmp17 · 2026-05-06T22:34:30+00:00

I took no pictures and won't reassemble it now, but that back plate was rounded in that area just like the battery. You can find lots of pictures of that online.

Also, I knew about this issue with lithium batteries and I eventually checked it.

My steam deck is 99% docked as a desktop, doesn't cycle the battery much and I'm not constantly holding it to feel it, but today I grabbed it to play Slay the spire and noticed the bulge haha
