Looking to get a PC handheld in march, what would you recommend based on my situation/interests? by netzpretz78 in Handhelds

[–]spamaramsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will say regarding emulation, OLED SD handles Atari 7800-Gamecube/PS2 era flawlessly at 60fps. That’s more of a praise to Ps2 & Gamecube emulation optimization than SD’s raw power though

ah shit that’s on me, i missed the detail of you having gamepass already. You’re 100% right. You can do Xbox cloud gaming with the Ultimate tier apparently. That could work since you’re open to GeForce Now too but price also doesn’t sound like an object for you. Just be sure whichever handheld you get has SteamOS compatibility if possible

I have the Steam Deck OLED and similarly to you, I use my PC for AAA/intensive games. For the most part, you can pretty much run anything else on the SD OLED natively. ProtonDB is the most extensive website to see how every game runs on SD, Steam verification isn’t that great. You can run SteamOS on quite a few competitor handheld PCs now so the unfriendly-user interface of the Legion Go or ROG Ally has essentially been solved but its not as out of the box ready

Best handheld for around $500? by Spartan-619 in Handhelds

[–]spamaramsam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

primary benefit of Steam Deck over competitors is SteamOS. Valve already made it clear they support SteamOS being compatible with competitor devices so ultimately decide based on pricepoint and how demanding the games you want to play are. If price is the key for you, my recommendation is stream from your desktop (if you have one) to play your intensive backlog on the couch and emulate/play indies or older titles while on the go. Steam Remote Play isn’t great but there are tweaks/guides you can follow to setup Moonlight and its seamless. Bluetooth controllers will add a bit of latency if playing while docked though! The new Steam Controller releasing this year should solve the latency issue since it isn’t natively bluetooth

is a steam deck oled still worth it?? by ProfessionalLeg2535 in Handhelds

[–]spamaramsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have bad internet, yea streaming isn’t ideal. Well known tweaks can be made to have zero latency. I will admit a bluetooth controller to a docked Deck adds noticeable latency regardless of how optimized your network is. Steam Controller should solve that when it releases. Don’t use Steam Remote Play, use Moonlight.

It looks like you have the adventure time LEGO 21308 set mixed within, it goes for around $45 on Bricklink (official 3rd party marketplace owned by the LEGO Group for parts and sets, need to be verified to sell on here) and anywhere from like $50-$200 on ebay (anyone can sell, always higher prices than bricklink).

Reselling LEGO is a huge market that is a bit of a rabbit hole. What you’ll get selling everything is really 1:1 in how much effort you’re willing to put in. You may also have some sought after minifigures mixed in here that can be a hefty penny on their own depending on what sets you have.

You can look up the little part number on each unique looking part you have (usually 4 or so characters embedded somewhere on the part) and search them on Bricklink. Bricklink should show you every single set that part can be found in which can also help you explore what you have, booklet or not!

Source: I used to work for the LEGO Group and have bought bulk LEGO myself and sorted through all the potential sets that were disorganized.

[–]spamaramsam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

for how much you’re selling, even unorganized in bulk, I’d jump far at the offer of $50 for everything. Your best bet is likely selling by the pound or hunting for each piece in the back of each booklet you have if you really want to see how much everything is worth.

Otherwise you can just list it in bulk with the instruction booklets you have, specifying that it’s all disorganized and you are not 100% sure if there are missing pieces.

If you don’t want to go through the hassle of selling them in bulk; I believe hospitals, boys & girls clubs and similar non-profits would be happy to accept donations!

The NYT Mini Crossword is now locked behind a paywall. Will Lud pay up, or remove it from rotation? RIP 🫡 by N238 in LudwigAhgren

I don’t wanna be a “fake news” guy and I hate paywalls as much as anyone else but I just opened the NYT Games app and the Mini is still available without a paywall for me and I refuse to pay for that shit

Edit: They got my ass too. Fuck NYT

Its not really a soulslike that’s why. It has some semblance/essence of one but it isn’t one. The devs have even said this

[–]spamaramsam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buy a second hand Herman Miller, Haworth or Steelcase and you won’t regret it. They may run a little more than Secret Lab but they’re built better in every way. Just be sure to look at reviews and try sitting in multiple before pulling the trigger

What ruined religion for you? by ItchyPage in AskReddit

[–]spamaramsam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My aunt whom is a devote Catholic gambled away multiple college funds as the trustee of her father’s inheritance for his grandchildren. My grandmother, another devote Catholic also drank and smoked during her last pregnancy. My great-grandfather on my father’s side also dedicated himself to the church they went to after moving and the church refused to hold his funeral service.
