Ugh, that's awful, I'm sorry to hear that. As awful as it no doubt was to witness, and at the risk of "bright-siding" it: I guess it's better than her being alone for that. Terrible no matter what, though. Wishing her, you, and your family healing in the days and weeks ahead.

Do you poop? That's potentially hours of mobile gaming right there.

Yeah I'm still cautiously optimistic. It won't be a game I'll pick up at launch for full price, but once it hits a low price on a Steam sale, I'm in.

Will be very curious to hear what you think of the book once you've given it some attention!

Thanks to this thread I bought the Ori bundle on Steam. You bastards.

Yeah, I get that it's via dog whistling that shitheads can get away with hate, but that one seems kinda silly to me. Admittedly without knowing a thing of this person's background or politics, I personally read that as "for political reasons". But again, who knows.

I've never dealt with them before myself but I recall hearing from others (reddit, here, etc.) that they had good customer service. I bet you'll be taken care of. Sorry it's a pain in the ass now though.

When did you email them? I'd bet they're just confirming the info you sent them and are figuring out a corrective course, but that's just a guess.

A photo of one of the people suspected of the terrorist attack on Rainbow Bridge has been released:

Yeah I don't think it's entirely accurate or descriptive to call it a "sleep" issue so much as a "display" or "battery issue". It needlessly uses the battery to keep the display on while idle and downloading and, as stepee points out, with the OLED version it also potentially risks burn-in (depending on whatever mitigation techniques they've included, though I'm not familiar with this on the SD). I wonder if the release of the OLED version might actually usher in some changes to how the SD handles downloads, given these concerns.

Hopefully you didn't hit the power button to turn off the screen while downloading.... That's the biggest annoyance I have with the Steam Deck, is that there's no "download in standby" mode. Putting it to sleep puts it fully to sleep.

Yeah of the few episodes I've seen of the more recent seasons, it still makes me laugh sometimes. I'm generally a fan of the style: make as many silly jokes as you can in about 20 minutes.

Nice, dude, congrats! Fairly recently upgraded to an OLED myself (LG G3) and it's a huge step up. You're going to love it! Maybe you've already done this with your older TV, but personally I was blown away when I hooked up my gaming desktop PC to the TV and played in 4K. Excited to hear your impressions!

Yeah I've played Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA IV on it and it works well, but yeah the smaller screen and battery make it really shine more with indies.

My OG Steam Deck is practically a dedicated Vampire Survivors machine at this point.

Since I probably can't justify upgrading to the OLED version since I just bought my regular Steam Deck a few months ago, I'm vicariously excited for you all to get them! Looking forward to your impressions!

Again not to hijack gamer's thread, but... all of the Colombians I know get kinda pissed when you write "Columbian", so... just FYI.

@stepee Yeah Global Entry is the shit. It costs $100 for five years or something. To expand a bit on what @Brian was saying: The government does some background checks on you (and you do a short, easy interview) to make sure you're not a national security threat, and once approved, you get speedier entry into the country from abroad. In addition to speedier entry from abroad though, you also get a "known traveler number" which you can enter in when buying domestic flights, and it pretty much guarantees you'll be TSA Pre, again meaning shorter lines, not having to take off your shoes or pull out your electronics, etc.

@DarkStar189 I have the 4TB WD SN850X (currently $230 from Amazon) and this heatsink. You'll want to just double-check (either in Amazon reviews/questions or in the official specs) that whatever heatsink you buy can fit inside the PS5 compartment, as apparently some are too large or otherwise have the wrong dimensions.

Probably I'd take my dog for one last walk and try to get my family all in on one last call. Man what a sad thread.

Articles like this shouldn't exist. We know he's a piece of shit, and giving him any attention, even (or maybe especially) negative, only feeds his pathetic ego and keeps him on our minds.

If anyone else wants to add me on Steam (e.g. @best3444, @Biggie) my friend code is 1043830.

Added u 2, bb

Yeah sorry, I saw the link and clicked it, realized we weren't already friends and added you, then returned to the thread and scrolled down to learn that a link is only good for one person.

Well now you've got me intrigued.
