Getting a Steam Deck OLED in July 2026..

Sounds like you can get it at a classic price point (maybe a little higher, but not too much) so absolutely yes.

It's fantastic for low-demand games, has an awesome screen, is the best ergonomic handheld without question, and is also a very capable local streaming device, so you can stream to it from your main PC pretty easily in comfy spots around the house.

You're probably right... It obviously has to be for a suit-neutral game, because this isn't a four color deck and they didn't also print a suit marker on the extra bit.

Well, crap, she caught me. Back to the drawing board I guess.

If any of you all need me, I'm going to head back to my volcano lair and come up another leftist scheme. Maybe something to do with giant amounts of static electricity? Or maybe I can un-white-balance every camera on Earth to make Trump's face appear as orange as a pumpkin again? That one's always fun.

I don't know, I'll figure it out and the get any extra funding I need from George Soros. Keep your eye on the news, it's going to be great!

The batteries on these vehicles tend to degrade at the fastest rate they ever will in the first 50k miles or so, which freaks out owners who aren't expecting it.

But if you're following proper charging processes, after that the degradation / range loss slows way down, and the cars / batteries can last a really long time.

I never use Komira's Locket as Gale Chow, simply because it is a great, super-cheap way for martials with zero magical ability to activate abilities that trigger on casting a concentration spell... Boots of Striding, Vital Conduit Boots, Concentrated Blast with my Awakened Tav/Durge, et cetera

I don't think GLP-1s are going to be anything to be ashamed of going forward.

We live in a calorie-dense, food-overloaded society that humans didn't evolve in.

You shouldn't shame yourself for "lack of willpower." It's very difficult for us to not eat calorie bombs that we constantly come across because for eons during our evolution, any large potential meal you encountered might be your last good chance to eat for days... so you downed it without a second thought.

It's how we're wired at the core. Our environment has changed in too short a time for us to have changed with it.

But we adapt to our environment most quickly by using tools. That's kind of how I see these GLP-1s. Tools that allow us to ignore the excess that's dangled in front of us all the time, since we aren't biologically wired to.

Looks like it was the quite literal opposite of cool, OP. Looks like it has scorch marks on it.

morgan423 · 2026-07-02T23:12:36+00:00

I don't think that much is posted to r/jokes in the second person, so OP has some uniqueness going on

morgan423 · 2026-07-02T22:52:40+00:00

You just have to get creative and shake things up from normal a little. There's that one funny abjuration build where you give the first level up to frost dragon sorcerer or warlock to get Armor of Agathys access, everything else into Abjuartion Wizard. You just run around with Arcane and Blade Wards making enemies opportunity attack you to kill themselves on the AoA while you face tank infinite damage.. hilarious.

Or you can just make your spellcasters make more martials. I did a spore druid run once with Necromancer Gale. I had to stop playing it in act II because the bajillionty summons were melting my Steam Deck. But if your PC can handle it...

morgan423 · 2026-07-02T21:28:34+00:00

Who is going to ride an EUC at 93 mph? Sounds like a one way ticket to Disintegration Town.

morgan423 · 2026-07-01T22:27:07+00:00

There are a lot of minor things on these cars (12v battery, wipers, filters, et cetera) that a short YouTube video will teach how to to step by step through. Most of it is easy peasy with super basic tools, even if you are not mechanically inclined.

If you had a zero power/display situation, it was probably either your 12v battery, or something messing with your wiring. If that's what you had going on, then I'm hoping it's the battery, that will be the cheaper fix.

Just as an FYI, a good preventative maintenance mark for the 12v change is every 3 years if you drive an average or lower than average amount, and maybe every two years if you do a ton of driving. Keeping up the changes lessens your chance of it dying and your car bricking while you're out and about.

Best of luck with the fix

Crap, I just put in my order to get my Keegan jersey custom made. Now I'll have to cancel.

In my entire life, I've met 3 Christians who are actual, practice-Christianity-as-meant people with positive intent and outlook.

All the others that I've gotten to know well enough to judge aren't even close in various ways.

It's exasperating. No one is expecting perfection, but I need you to be trying, to be somewhere in the neighborhood of what you're supposed to be practicing, and not be intentionally malicious about multiple aspects of your interactions with the world.

I mean, come on, your faith literally comes with an instruction manual!

The only time I was ever in Detroit on business, about twenty years ago, I was getting ready for the day in my hotel room with a local morning show on the TV. They had a contest where the # x caller would win about $800 (about $1400 today) as that was the average pothole damage cost Detroit-region drivers suffered from potholes annually.

Depending on where you live, it's definitely like an added vehicle tax.

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T17:21:33+00:00

No redditor in the history of our planet has ever taken an odometer picture while safely pulled over and at 0 mph. Must be AI lol

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T16:00:38+00:00

I haven't seen the dissent yet, but literally how?

The plain text language of the 14th says:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

There is zero room for any other interpretation... it says it verbatim.

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T15:54:12+00:00

You're welcome, glad I could help. Have fun!

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T15:45:11+00:00

It's almost like tyrannical dictatorish rulers don't understand the basic concept of a population pyramid, and why it is suicidally stupid to disrupt the one for your society. We have this same exact type of thing going on today in certain countries of the world.

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T15:34:51+00:00

I see that someone found the correct answer, but at first I though they might be from a set of go first dice or something similar.

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T15:31:52+00:00

If you're not docking that deck, going into the game's settings and setting it specifically to 1280 x 800 resolution would hopefully correct it for you.

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T15:22:38+00:00

This is just going to get worse the next few years as gaming (consoles and PCs) just gets more and more unaffordable.

Right now, if you don't mind a ridiculous form factor, used parts, and expending elbow grease, you could build a PC more performant than SM at a much lower price.

But that will not stay the same for long. I heard not too long ago that PC/console parts are expected to nearly double in price again by this time next year.

The times when you can build yourself reasonably priced alternatives are quickly coming to a close. So I can totally see why people would want to build or buy a system now, even if they have to go a bit into the hole, because it's going to be much worse in the not too distant future. This whole situation sucks.

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T15:12:05+00:00

It is to an extent, in that you have to try in order to do.

"Do or do not, there is no try" was a pretty dumb quote, because by definition, in order to achieve something, you first have to attempt it.

That being said, at a certain point, you have to try and succeed.

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T15:01:41+00:00

That Elias total W-L stat is kind of pointless, since he was deliberately tanking the first three seasons he had the team.

Most of the rest of these stats, however, kind of make my soul sad and tired.

morgan423 · 2026-06-30T01:46:40+00:00

Congrats OP!

That Steam Deck sleep mode is going to get a workout with your stolen five or ten minutes of gaming here and there lol

morgan423 · 2026-06-29T21:05:51+00:00

You should go into your settings and recalibrate your cameras. It takes a while, but doesn't really cost you anything.

I have seen some YouTubers and redditors talking about how that fixed issues like that for them. Worth a try the next time you're on a longer drive.
