There’s no big reason why remapping couldn’t be done in a way that doesn’t require actively running software on the host machine. QMK, the open source firmware for keyboards has had this for years. You can update your keymap with an online editor, but once it’s flashed, your mappings will be remembered regardless of which computer/phone/whatever you use the keyboard with - without having to run any software besides the OS on the host.

LW? LimeWire? LessWrong? Luftwaffe? The deprecated chemical symbol for Lawrencium??

Americans sure love their acronyms.

Dumbest shit I’ve heard this week.

Switches that last forever would be interesting. Subscription models and sw updates for a mouse are the very opposite of interesting. I’d pay not to have either.

Old news. They already fixed Steam Deck compatibility.

No joking allowed here. Straight to jail.

You’re not wrong, but your aggressive wording will surely alienate anyone who otherwise would’ve had a chance of learning something new or changing their mind. People don’t generally respond well to snark nor a condescending tone.

And this is a real issue, because companies and fascists are good at telling relatable stories to win people to their side. If we want to have any chance at fighting back, we must utilize the same tools they’re using, instead of calling people stupid and thus driving them away.

Factorio was inspired by Minecraft mods BuildCraft and IndustrialCraft, but yeah, few games have done what Factorio has, and those that have tried never quite reached it’s level. Sure, there are games that feature automation with complex recipes (Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program, Shapez), but only Factorio actually managed to pull off a sense of exponential scale.

Palworld is a popular monster catching and survival game that has sold over 5 million copies since its release. However, the game’s developers have received death threats from upset Pokémon fans who believe the monster designs have been plagiarized from Pokémon. The CEO of Palworld’s studio addressed these threats on Twitter, asking people to stop harassing the development team. While some clear similarities exist between Palworld and Pokémon monsters, the future of the game still looks bright if technical issues can be resolved and new content added over time. Overall, Palworld seems to have found great commercial success, but its popularity has also led to some unfortunate harassment of its creators from a minority of Pokémon fans.

Are you aware that Pokemon pretty much “stole” the creatures from Dragon Quest - an RPG from 1986?

Huh… Do you also move the cursor with your keyboard? And if so, don’t you have an RMB key? If you don’t use a mouse, do you use a GUI that isn’t suited for keyboard navigation?

Okay I’ll bite…: How are PgUp and PgDown yellow, when Menu is missing from the list?

There’s plenty to do if you install mods, particularly Modular Encounters Systems. Also, check out Splitsie’s Survival Impossible -series if you need more inspiration :)

The responses read like they were generated with a large language model. Not that training such a model wouldn’t take a bunch of time, but at least then the effort would approach zero over time.

Backed by VC, so you know they’re just waiting for an exit

IMO Steam Deck is the best overall option, as it’s beefy enough to run PS3 or even Switch games.

If it’s too heavy, the Retroid Pocket 3+ is a decent emulation competitor with a lighter, smaller form factor.

I find myself constantly switching between them all and can’t settle down to actually play a game.

This sounds like one of those problems where buying more hardware doesn’t help. Ruminating about the “best” handheld choice is an easy way to forget about playing the games themselves. I’ve been there. The solution is to just pick a device at random, and go outside to play it. There will be pros and cons, but if you’re not even getting to the point where you can actually play the game, then the pros and cons don’t matter either.

You can buy all sorts of stuff if you have money burning in your pocket, but as far as essential goes, you’ve already got it all.

That said, you might want to get a multipurpose USB-C dongle, for connecting the deck to an external display, keyboard, mouse, ethernet and such. The Deck Dock is okay, but there are cheaper options with the same functionality.
