In their statement, they vilified the victim by claiming she was fleeing law enforcement.

Hmmm… I wonder why she did that? Running for her life, perhaps?

Now he shall forever and always be known as Donald Dump.

Kind of figured, it has too many in-focus points at varying distance from the “camera.” So it still has some uncanny valley in it.

I haven’t encountered this, but it’s rare that I’m in actual desktop mode. Normally I’m using a flavor of Nested Desktop.

Also, fully gas up your car (or make sure you’re at the top of your safe charging range if you have an EV). If you need to use your car briefly as a heat island, you’ll want to have the ability to do that for as long as possible.

If you’re doing consideration of past people, give consideration to baby Thomas Midgely Jr.

He’s the dude that effectively invented leaded gasoline AND chlorofluorocarbons. It can be argued that no other single human in history did more widespread damage to the environment than he did.

If it were just one 30+ year old cat, it’d be more believable. But the wiki article says that he owned two, and the other one lived into its mid-30s.

Pretty sure that I have a better odds of quantum tunneling my entire self to the Andromeda galaxy in the next ten minutes than a single person has to own two 30+ year old housecats that were born within a few years of each other.

They said OP post was TLDR, so they didn’t see that part 🤣

Not picking it up myself, but definitely hope that you enjoy it.

NGL, the whole FEX-compatibility thing that’ll let you also play non-VR games on it with a normal controller is kind of neat, though I have no idea of how it will perform vs Steam Deck / Steam Machine / other starter PC.

If I were in a situation where I didn’t have normal displays everywhere, I’d consider it as a traditional AR solution.

That seems a bit high high to me; if they want to move them in significant quantities, I’d think they’d need to try to land in the $80 USD range, give or take a hair.

They have quite a few other controller options out there that they are competing against, and even though it’s awesome, they definitely could potentially price people off of it.

Finally, a bed for twins conjoined at the heels.

Wouldn’t surprise me if there’s also a “depletion of LCD screen stock and/or 7nm APU stock” ingredient in the Doesn’t Make Sense Anymore soup as well.

Hook it up to your living room TV, and make it your entertainment station? With a good set up, you can stream on it, play retro games and emulation, miscellaneous media… I could see it being much more useful than a standard Roku / Fire / et cetera USB stick.

I have a M & K available, and play docked a fair percentage of the time, but when I’m docked, I still prefer the console controls over M & K for BG3.

Much more streamlined, the intractable UI is not as busy, and the whole game is much cleaner-looking (95% of what you’re looking at is the game world when you have no UI elements calledup… whereas the M&K UI are taking up a chunk of screen real estate all the time).

I don’t have a problem, I can stop gaming any time I want!

This row of games is 92% of my playtime, there were a bunch of other games from my collection but I only played them briefly here and there.

100% Deck, it’s currently my only PC.

Some hypothetical impressionable youngster: “Why would anyone need to shake their eggs up?”

OPENS THREAD

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

No issues yet, but I’m docked and using M&K or external controller probably 85% of the time or so.

I plan to keep my Deck as my stream-to around the rest of house device far into the future (read: until it disintegrates, the ergonomics and form factor are that good), even after my next upgrade to the Steam Machine or similar option, so I will be Hall-replacing the sticks if / when they start to drift.

I use Excel at work, not in a traditional accounting sense, but my company uses it as an interface with one of our systems I frequently work with.

Rather than tediously search the main Excel sheets that get fed into that system for all of the data fields I have to fill in, I made separate Excel tools that consolidate all of that data, then use macros to put the data into the correct fields on the main sheets for me.

Occasionally I’ll have to add new functionality to that sheet, so I’ll ask AI to write the macro code that does what I need it to do.

Saves me from having to learn obscure VBA programming to perform a function that I do during .0001% of my work time, but that’s about the extent of it. For now.

Of course most of what I do is white collar computer work, so I’m expecting that my current job likely has a two-year-or-less countdown on it before they decide to use AI to replace me.

The classics never die.

Finally taking a break from BG3, though that will probably only last until I have a SM sitting in my comfy gaming zone.

Still heavily playing Deep Rock Galactic with friends, Streets of Rogue has entered my short-time gaming rotation, and I just picked up WH40K: DarkTide on the recent sale.
