Witcher 3, Just finished the main story. And boy, CDPR really nailed the story/ character writing in this game. Looking to grab “Hearts of stone” & “Blood and Wind” DLC next GOG sale.

What an amazing 50hr time sink!

I get the feeling that people can sort of “feel” that something is different (Monkey instinct?) despite us acting totally normal.

Nine Sols!

Who would’ve guessed a hand drawn 2D side scroller runs amazingly at 90Hz. That sound of parrying attacks coming out of deck’s speaker is just so satisfying.

I think it just mean you blocked/restricted these app’s internet access.

Linux Mint chocolate chip cookies with coconut milk and some other things 🤤.

Elden Ring & Resident Evil 6!

Elden Ring: Man this game is so long but fun. I just can’t help myself playing this game everywhere. Somehow getting my ass kicked, and winning a fight or two time to time, kills time so efficiency.

RE6: Despite it’s bad rep, it’s a really good game for couch coop on a TV. The performance was great, and just really enjoyable when laughing at bugs & absurd writing with friends.

720p upscaled to 1080 looks really good, and is a nice balance for performance.

Some TV don’t play nice with the fps caps, try uncapping the framerate if you don’t mind some fps fluctuations.

Rock&Stone btw.

I can only speak for Wii emulation, it works great.

OLED deck have excellent Bluetooth compatibility with WiiMotes, I can hook up 4 of them using emulated bluetooth mode. (Can’t get passthru mode working tho)

Some configuration beforehand such as changing all four controller slots into “real WiiMote” & enable continues scanning is all you need to do.

Just a side note. Switching between handheld and docked mode is a dull process. In order to switch input source you have to go to desktop mode every time.

The Elden Ring one actually isn’t so rare. It feels more like a 10%. Every time I boot up the game I half expect it to crash.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Lemmy become my daily social media/fourm since last year,. Huge thanks for all the mods that keep this place running.

Looking forward to all the things and participation this year!

Really cool! Love to see some modding. And wow, that full kit of IFixIt.

Thanks for the suggestions! 😃 I will take the two phone method into consideration in the future.

I see, perhaps changing my approach & mindset towards privacy is the next thing I should work on.

Will definitely still do more stuff like boxing & containing non private services.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I will give more office alternatives a shot, and see Windows more as a “tool” that I don’t prefer, rather than something to banish.

And yeah, Google sees all on stock android. I definitely will make Pixel+ custom ROMs my top choice when I next switch phones.

Guess I tried to push privacy a bit too fixated. Thx for the reminder👍.

Dead By Daylight! This game is very comfortable at low wattage. 45Fps @7w all low. The deck basically turn DBD into bite sized excitements.

Bought an OLED model for 6 months. I still use it for 60% of my game time.
Sure, 40% of the time I need to have online experience with friends (Fps games / long gaming session), or the games simply don’t feel right on The Deck.

But being able to use it everywhere is just so nice( friend’s place / sitting in garden / on my bed). Plus, I regularly use it as a mini TV, watching YT and Netflix on it.

It’s surprising they’ve paid for an anti-tamper for THAT long, instead of spending those money to keep updating the game.

Using the Tomtok ultra slim carrying case. It feels very close to the NS’s one , and make carrying it much less of a chore.

Would like to try out the Killswitch, but I remember it takes the place of grip case too (Meaning I can’t use other grip cases).

Typing this on a Zenfone 10.

The good thing is that this phone don’t really have bad querks like ZF8&9, and the 2 years update only means not getting new android features, Zenfone still works perfectly fine a long time after the 2 year mark.

And yes, Asus has been quite an A** hole in the whole bootloader situation, but putting that aside there are still plenty of ways to tinker a phone without root(Fdroid, adb, launcher, netguard, etc…).

I would say If custom ROMs are too important for you, get a Pixel, they are just that good with it.

But if you are willing to look past that, Zenfones are great.
