If I may recommend it, give Symfonium a try for an app front end. It’s actually stellar. I tried Finamp with the same and wasn’t as jazzed

On top of this, I doubt many of the Steam Deck’s current competitors could have sold at a loss like Valve did (IIRC, they sold at a loss or at least pretty close to it). Microsoft, however, definitely has the spare money as a larger corp if they decided to really back the XBox/Gaming division. Price-wise, they could compete. If they’re in the same pricing ballpark, manage a reasonable quality handheld, and can promise perfect windows compatibility with games, that might be something.

Dude, I just started getting into BAR and, while a complete noob with a strong nostalgia for TA, I can’t even begin to imagine playing it on the Steam Deck. Not that I’m naysaying here, I’m just more in a kind of “I want to believe” state since it’s pretty much becoming one of my all time favorites.

All that said, brilliant write up! Share some of your control details for BAR too if you have a chance!

Big issue for musicians. Many of us have instruments that are just small enough to be carry-ons but just large enough to be a bit unwieldy compared to other carry-ons, so nabbing primo carry-on storage is a must.

Loads of data sciency stuff - one monitor for normal text editing/terminal work, another for accessing remote environments, and a third for a combo of work comms and music.

When not sciencing, I won’t lie, there’s a lot of Path of Exile with PoB on one screen and a podcast on the third.

Wow, absolutely gorgeous. According to my father and his cabal of genealogy enthusiasts, allegedly this place used to be a holding of some distant ancestors of mine. I always used to get a kick out of looking at the family tree, where one guy would have a title, something like “Lord of Warwick Castle” (I can’t remember it exactly), then only to look a generation later and see a note by the next guy, saying “Re-Took Warwick Castle.”

Damn, dude, those are considered rare? That’s a hell of a bummer

Define container; reasonably, a room could be defined as a container. A container of what? And furthermore, define empty! Knowing when something’s “empty” has all kinds of applications. That and teleporting, even a few inches could be incredible, especially dependent on how often/quickly you could do it. 3 & 7, hands down
