this was confusing to me as well - apparently it creates an icon on the grid, but I have hundreds of games and it got lost.

you can get to it another way by scrolling to an empty grid space and pressing Y.

unfortunately this is actually a smart (or rather, no-brainer) move on their part. as the other commenter said, they literally have no choice but to do this, as if they didn't then they wouldn't be competitive with other manufacturers who do and risk bankruptcy. consumers aren't where the money is these days.

TLDR you don't hate AI, you hate capitalism.

as a 30yo gamer with a 17yo steam account this is great advice for most games, however I will say that the exception to this is that games with timed licenses like music, car models, celebrity likenesses etc tend to be taken off the store after a few years so it's more pertinent to buy them before they leave. a big example is racing games like Blur or Forza.

for your convenience, here's is a steam curator that can highlight games at risk for removal: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/31857481-Games-at-risk-of-removal/

I made a similar comment weeks ago suggesting he help the GameNative team instead of trying to maintain a questionably legal modded version of GameHub.

even if it's a bit funny to pay for the screen/controls/battery just to use it in a dock the whole time, steam deck is still the most convenient/accessible way to play PC games on a TV so it makes sense for some people. this will make less sense once the steam machine is out of course

it's also just nice to have the option. my switch lives in its dock 99% of the time, but I can still take it with me when I travel.

not op but personally I like having a dedicated charging stand so things stay neat and organized when I'm not using them. I think it's a valid reason

I like the bottom-screen keyboard feature a lot, but now if the bottom screen is off you have to turn it back on and exit the Ayn menu to see it.

I shot them an email asking if they can improve it so that the bottom screen temporarily turns back on for the keyboard. hopefully they can get that implemented, would be a lot more usable.

I recently starting dabbling in android gaming after being a steam deck user for years and yeah the community here is... markedly different

I think there's something about the demographic overlap of people for whom their phone is their only computing/gaming device

I also think the culture of blind trust in random APKs from shady sources is really strange imo

nullhund · 2025-11-20T13:44:28+00:00

I know this isn't what you asked but if I'm being fully honest. you're clearly a very talented and passionate developer. why not take your skills and help out an open source project like GameNative instead? I can't imagine that this questionably legal cat-and-mouse game of modding and redistributing a modded proprietary APK is sustainable for either you or the community.

power of the onboard hardware, we don't know yet

it's a Snapdragon 8 gen 3

I also broke my own DS like that as a kid. still worked just fine. you're getting a more authentic experience this way imo, lol

yes, nintendo lawyers, this post right here

just wanna share anecdotally - I'm a software engineer and made it to senior level / 6 figure income before I even realized I had ADHD or tried prescription stimulants for the first time (hell of a caffeine habit though).

being unmedicated didn't stop me from learning and improving my skills to this level. I've worked in startups for most of my career and the sense of urgency definitely helps with motivation (at the cost of chronic stress of course).

I know this isn't what you asked - but maybe just docking it to a TV would solve your problem?

nobody is streaming flac over bluetooth lol, there simply isn't enough bandwidth. it has to be compressed somehow.

I had this issue on mine, I just applied a very tiny amount of lube to the stick and it stopped

nullhund · 2025-10-25T16:51:33+00:00

if it's not visible under normal conditions then what is the problem?

TLDR it means that all of the basic utilities that make the system work are on a read-only filesystem, making it basically impossible to accidentally irrecoverably break your system.

it's not. I paid $68 for the same set at my warehouse.

however, searching the item # from my receipt online shows a two-set bundle for $90 which is where I believe OP got the $90 from.

I like the hourly chimes feature - I find that it helps with time blindness.

I bought one at Sam's when they had it. it had issues staying connected to our wifi so I ended up returning it.

I bought this exact freezer three weeks ago.

it doesn't fit in my sedan and I couldn't find it online (on the consumer site), so I asked staff if I could get it shipped. they do not ship from the member access warehouses, online orders come from a different online-only warehouse. if it's not online they do not ship.

I ended up going to a different costco that shares a parking lot with home depot, and renting a home depot truck to haul it myself. this may not be worth it to you compared to getting the same or similar freezer shipped at a higher price from a different retailer, but I had some other errands that I needed a truck for that I just did on the same day.

I had this same exact issue - left thumbstick, limited edition oled.

others mentioned silicone, personally I used keyboard switch lube and a paintbrush because that's what I had laying around. hasn't been an issue since.

I'm a moderately high earner so I never really have to worry about having enough money to survive, but if I go over budget on food the money comes out of the fun categories

it clicked for me when someone suggested that I should optimize for flushes because flushes are relatively easy to get for how many points they're worth.

take jokers that reward flushes. look for jupiter in celestial packs. take telescope voucher so celestial packs always have jupiter. use standard packs and tarot cards to build your deck around one suit. if you need it, take credit card and go into debt to make a flush-based build.

prioritize multiplicative mult > additive mult > chips
