I got a good deal for their older Pro 2 model last year and yeah it’s pretty good for the price honestly. Linux functionality is a bit dodgy though. Like, it kinda works but I need to set it up regularly for some reason. Switch mode is only partially supported and I can’t get the back buttons to work whatsoever on any mode. I switched to the Sony DualSense for most things but I’m willing to pay a premium price for the Steam Controller.

Back to your point though: Yes, there are good alternatives. Especially if you’re looking for something specialized like N64 emulation. 8BitDo got it for you. But man the Steam Controller seemss neat.

Can’t talk for Vader but 8BitDo’s repairability is going downhill while prices go up. Just based on repariability I would trust this Steam controller to outlive anything else at the moment.

It’s a no-brainer, really. All Steam Decks have been out of stock for literal months here in Europe. It’s clear they can’t deliver much more at the moment given the current hardware prices. Might as well develop something beefier before putting even more overpriced RAM and storage space into the old Steam Deck for much longer. It will be years until the Steam Deck 2 will release anyway.

We knew how bad the situation was economically but we also knew sanctions would have a much delayed effect. Economists have explained that plenty back when it seemed sanctions wouldn’t do much at first. As far as I’m aware, Russia transformed into a full on war economy since. That delayed things even further but it will make the fallout even worse for the country. Putin really doesn’t care if Russia even still exists when he goes down.

Let me guess he doesn’t like Republicans because of their racism against himself specifically but he’s totally down to hating other minorities all the same.

Newsflash: Queer rights are human rights, smart ass! We’re in this together. Well, not you. You can eat shit, Dave.

On one hand this is an elegant solution that is already in use in Germany for years, if companies want to implement it that is. But I think only Sony’s Playstore uses it. Or so I have heard. No US company wants to use it and I am sure they will lobby to get more data from users than a token if this gets rolled out EU wide. I am skeptical about this.

That’s the story the US keeps telling us ever since to explain away their own atrocities but it isn’t backed up by any data whatsoever. It’s pure vibes so we don’t think about how insanely inhumane nuclear weapons are. There is no evidence nuclear bombings were a major factor in the decision to finally surrender but it’s a fact they were already losing hard before the bombings. It was a matter of time, not a matter of atrocities.

Imperialist Japan needed to be defeated for a greater good. I firmly believe that. That doesn’t make nuclear bombs a necessary evil, however. It’s just evil.

I’m the last person to defend China but this is just moronic on so many levels. China has been hording oil for a long time and it wasn’t an issue before. But now that the US started an absolutely senseless and ridiculously stupid war in the most incompetent way imaginable they demand stability? Yeah right. Shut up.

If it was only nukes then one would’ve been enough, no? In fact we don’t know if Japanese generals even believed nukes were real when Japan surrendered. We know that some of them simply didn’t believe it, however.

Also Soviets to the North preparing a full scale invasion. Japan watched Germany being sliced up and knew it was over. Better to be ruled by one superpower than be divided by two of them.

Napoleon. Yes, it’s a little oversimplified but that man really shaped Europe and Germany with it.

Called it and this is just the beginning. There won’t be done anything meaningful about it in most countries either.

Not the best… outlook.

The Apollo 13 movie sequel will be wild…

It’s funny. The conservatives and the far right that a lot of people in Germany voted for demonized these things and now many of those voters want it to because it works. Kinda awkward, when your ideology is in the way of a better life for everyone, isn’t it?

Also swap out your PSP batteries regardless because they will almost certainly bloat! Mine ruined my handheld because I didn’t notice it.

They claimed it was all AI but I’ve heard that’s actually not true and many people had to work on each frame because AI simply didn’t do that good of a job.

I tried to listen to it but the doublethink in his narrative is too distracting. What a monumental loser.

It should also be their right to do so.

I had an email never arrive because I used Firefox for Linux. It worked on my phone in a different browser. God knows what went on there. I suppose their website never really registered I even made a request from my desktop even though it told me the email was on the way. Really strange.
