Not the one who mentioned it but I was curious about this as well and found this;

1. Spotify boycott: Artists leave ‘garbage hole’ platform after CEO invests in AI weapons.

2. Spotify CEO investments $700m in AI drone weapons company, as artists call for boycott.

Truly depends on the game.

Well my main usage for the Deck would be games like; Almost all Switch popular Switch 1 games (except Zelda), Persona 5 Royal, Persona 3 Reload, Metaphor and Expedition 33 as well as the Ori games.

But yeah, there are quite a few AAA/higher graphical fidelity games I just won’t bother, even if it’s technically playable at a "smooth’ 30FPS. Like Kingdom Come 2 ran pretty decently on it, surprisingly, but damn did it really make the game look pretty rough.

I saw videos on YT that Metaphor runs on 30-40FPS in cities, 60FPS in battles and that with emulation it’s a bit hit-or-miss. Someone told me, I’m asking to much of a handheld device but considering that the Deck is €700 which is a kind of a normal budget PC.

This might be a personal thing but 30FPS is going to bother me to no-end. I’m probably just spoiled with the at least permanent 60FPS and very often 144FPS.

But, honestly, I still use my Deck a shit ton, especially at work. It’s hands down the best portable emulator machine and there are tons of indie games that run great on it. It also works great as a small laptop in desktop mode. I use it almost daily at work.

Great to hear! Did not expect the Deck being able to work as a small laptop, hah. Though, my main usage would be gaming at home (for example; in bed, on the couch or outside in the yard). Kind of want a handheld because after 5 days of office work, it’s nice to game somewhere else than in front of the PC.

I have a PS5. I don’t intend to ever buy a console again. That era is dead.

Similar situation here. Bought the PS5 and probably used it for a year or so and now it’s collect dust. Literally. Kind of regretting getting one. I only game on PC nowadays.

I was thinking to get a Switch 2 but then all the chaos hit with the emulation takedowns, Nintendo suing Palworld, Prices of Nintendo games, prices of their accessories and the whole game key card stuff. Just to much negativity.

Still thinking about Steam Deck but it’s 3 years in its life. So not sure whether that’s worth the €700 euro. Have heard it struggles with the current games.

We are not Americans but honestly, I don’t think he do vote right-wing. He’s very much ‘‘let everyone live the way they want’’. Curious though what makes you think he’d vote right?

I had a colleague who said, he do only use it to find people to have one-night-stands with. He does not care about their political opinions as long as they can “fuck just right”.

So, I looked it up and figured out it was like that previously. They changed their policy now.

However, if you delete your Instagram account, it will also delete your Threads account because apparently Instagram is directly linked to the Threads account.

How would they even have that ability?

So this answer your question; I assume it’s due to the linking of the account (Instagram and Threads account)

Which group? Israel government or US government?

How’s Threads anyway? Once I heard they don’t allow you to simply delete your account, I noped out of it.

Not sure if it is true but apparently if you want to delete your account, it’ll also delete your Instagram account?

Of course men will go to an AI for their problems, they can’t fathom going to a woman for honest advice.

This seems a bit far-fetched, don’t you think? There could be so many reasons as to why someone would rather use AI than going to another person for advice (this is not just about women).

Honestly, as someone who actually went to therapy and yes, my therapist was a woman. It’s was quite tough to open up and be vulnerable.

I think for some people using AI, they might feel as if they’re not that vulnerable because it is not a person. However, they don’t realize that there’s data is being gathered.

And as a result, they gaslight themselves with a worse version of ELIZA.

With this, I can’t figure out whether you’re serious, trolling or just writing randomly.

Genuine question; what’s the difference between DeepSeek gathering data and for example ChatGPT or Gemini?

Three of them are (I assume) great for usage but disastrous regard privacy and data.

I know your comment is ~1 month old but - I’m actually surprised you got downvoted for this comment, because you are right. Steam Deck got released around 2022-2023 and from research, it struggles a bit to play newer games well.

I have been debating to get a Steam Deck OLED but that’s one of the reasons why, I’m uncertain to purchase one (and hoping for Steam Deck 2). Steam Deck is great for indie-games and emulation though. Was also eyeing the Switch 2 but the prices are ridiculous and thus will wait until price drops or until it’s hackable.

No, not really. I’m more overwhelmed by the fact I knew very little about the past. I deep dived into couple of things and now wonder the sanity of humanity.

Also the fact that people just do not learn from the past. People rather ignore all the things and repeat it again, again and again.

I have even become more pessimistic about humanity than, I already was. Because of this, I tend to avoid the news a bit more to at least keep my mental health in check.

Tech people here not sure why you think we care more than others. I want to play new Nintendo games and I can afford it. That’s really all it’s about.

You might not care but tech people do care. Much more than non-tech people.

A statement can be true even when it does not apply to you.

Non-tech people usually don’t care about the ToS and the dirty practices a company does. They’ll gladly pay for the ‘convenience’.

Most Nintendo fans even argued that prices, new ToS (bricking the device) and such were “justifiable”. Same thing about owning games, most argued that “in today’s era you barely own anything anyway”.

It’s very unfortunate and sad to see but it is reality.

Personally though, I’ll wait for either a working emulation or when there’s an actual exploit found to hack the Switch 2.

After this, I’ll avoid anything that’s about this game. Just started it and really like it.

Personally, didn’t really have any specific idea about how a character should look like.

I will just not purchase an console anymore, don’t need one anyway due to have a good PC.

i hate microshaft, but come on now. i sincerely dont know how they are implicit. please explain.

I will provide three articles, the rest is up to you to do research. Because you know, when you write here the way you do, you should know these things already.

1. BDS Movement Article.

2. Microsoft employee slams leadership at company event over complicity in Israeli ‘genocide’.

3. Microsoft finally acknowledges supplying AI services to Israel but denies Gaza genocide complicity.

I will not respond to any of your comments because you have proven that, you have not done any research.

what has gaza to do in the workplace emails? nothing. same with israel.

Everything when the company you work for is complicit* in genocide of Palestinian people.

you work and then go home where you can write what you want to who you want.

Yeah, some people do who give no care about the company they work for is complicit in genocide. However, some humans still have humanity within them. They do care. They’ll protest.

EDIT: Changed “implicit” to “complicit”

It’s insane how all the corporate companies are just allying and okay with genocide, apartheid, racism, hatred and everything related to it. Not surprising but it’s insane.

Is this even legal? I mean people paid for the lifetime version.
