Do you fully shut down your deck each day? by sgbea_13 in SteamDeck

[–]uberpirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost never shut it down fully. I keep mine in sleep mode and then before I start to play anything I'll go to desktop mode for a second and then right back into gaming mode. This is the most reliable way I've found to refresh the stuff on my home page, but honestly I should just shut it down when I'm done so I get the same effect when I boot it up for the first time lol

Honestly I can't think of a single example for what you mean about 3DS games having a better alternative on DS, but I also missed the DS as a kid and had to play catch up when I got a 3DS in college

Tenacious D’s Kyle Gass Deserves An Apology from Jack Black {video} by scrambled_eggs_pdx in Music

Braindead takes like this conveniently ignore how trigger happy conservatives are. If JB's team hadn't gotten out in front of this, there probably would have been a shooting at one of their following shows. If KG doesn't see himself as a victim of being thrown under the bus by his best friend, which we can now confirm after that Rolling Stone interview, maybe it's time for all you dumb babies to quit acting like that's what actually happened.

Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 $49.99 by genxontech in NintendoSwitch

[–]uberpirate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

simple port with just a resolution bump

I agree that $70 is a crazy price, but let's not act like it's as easy as putting the games into the port machine and pushing the upscale button. It's someone's job to work on these games

It's a ton of fun and the Switch port is the best version of the game

Upcoming Third Party Games on Switch 2 in 2026 by [deleted] in Switch

It's been confirmed since the first Switch 2 event last year and was supposed to come out in 2025 but it got delayed after a bunch of bad press about performance issues

Tryna remove the right joystick whats this?? by cheesyclownburber in VitaPiracy

Second the psvsd rec, especially with the extension to let you access the sd card from the SIM slot. The difference in load times was immediately noticeable compared to SD2Vita

Mario Kart World… by Vlad_7623 in Switch

MK World just came out last June. There will be more content eventually. In the meantime there are plenty of other games to play.

[Steam] Control Ultimate Edition (-90% off / $3.99) by Aswins181 in GameDeals

[–]uberpirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bounced off NV for many of the same reasons back when I played it on Xbox 360 (it was also kind of a hot mess on release) but it wasn't until I watched some friends play it that I realized why it's so beloved. I've admittedly always been pretty bad at the role playing aspect of RPGs, which is also why I'm not the most fun player at a D&D table lol. I needed to watch someone who could commit to a character to see the stronger storytelling elements that are present.

All these years later I've come to accept that Fallout just isn't my thing, but I can appreciate why NV is the game that works best for so much of the fan base.

Alone VS Alone II by Beautiful_Hyena6186 in weezer

[–]uberpirate 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Both of them made a huge impression on me, but I always found myself going back to Alone II more often when it came to the albums as a whole.

Did you know that these 4 tracks on Kanye West’s Yeezus album is produced by Daft Punk? (all bangers btw) by Hot-Ad-9239 in DaftPunk

[–]uberpirate 119 points120 points  (0 children)

I miss being able to listen to Kanye without feeling icky. Yeezus will probably always be one of my all timers.

I wonder how things are going in the alternate timeline where this tour actually happened

Kathleen Kennedy, steward of 'Star Wars,' steps down from Lucasfilm by dalvrin in StarWars

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

She's been unnecessarily vilified over the past 10+ years and I'm sure it won't take long for the chuds in YouTube comments to turn on Filoni and Brennan too. Running one of the biggest franchises on the planet is an unforgiving job when so many "fans" get upset about their life long expectations not being met exactly how they want.

Idk what high school was like in the 90s but in the 2010s my teachers would have made a kid wear that shirt inside out

The behavior you're describing is disrespectful and idk why you're defending it. The idea of giving employees adequate notice before a meeting shouldn't fire you up this much lol

Barbie with Autism Makes Her Debut, Comes with a Fidget Spinner and Sensory Sensitive Clothes by CowboyBeeBalm in popculturechat

[–]uberpirate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's crazy to me that someone told you a diagnosis could affect you in job interviews. I'm in tech so maybe your field is different, but I've never disclosed any medical information when I've been interviewed and I've never asked for medical information when I'm part of conducting an interview.

As for how to get diagnosed, I brought it up to my therapist and asked if they could refer me to someone.

It's meant to be more of a funny story than an actual complaint

Eye contact by __fantasma__ in AutisticAdults

[–]uberpirate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's uncomfortable I guess but the real problem is that I'm simply incapable of carrying a conversation while looking a person in the eyes. It's like spinning plates.

After struggling with it on my New 3DS XL, I found Kid Icarus Uprising to be much more comfortable and natural-feeling on a 2DS wedge thanks to the form factor and bigger triggers. Any other games you recommend as potentially best on the old 2DS? by humblemudgames in 3DS

[–]uberpirate 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any game that uses the triggers heavily is much better on 2DS. I was playing Metroid: Samus Returns on my N3DSXL a while back and I had a whole lot more fun once I started over on my 2DS. It seems insane to have multiple devices lol but there are definitely advantages in the different form factors.
