The only things I need from a new deck are ergonomic changes, larger display and better grips and buttons placement, specifically back buttons and shoulders/triggers. Not in a hurry though.

The second coming.

I think that the story arc they told ends wonderfully and needs no sequel, the world they have built, on the other hand, deserves more stories to be told and I will be waiting eagerly for them.

This is a really fun game actually.

This smells like AI slop.

Ok, until I saw the integrated joystick I thought: " ok, so fart seat but purchasable"

Too bad, I was having a hunch.

Looks like the sea bed on a rocky beach when the tide is low.

Looks like it’s his/her favorite corner

Of course they have!

Maybe inside a volcano shaped like a skull and with some sharks warding the entrance?

A wise man I see.

Okey dokey!

Oh, I see, my bad. Anyway chicken is also a favorite for them so watch your sandwich :)

I mean is tuna, touchy is only the preliminaries…

So this is the last game I played in my early twenties, then a gaming hiatus of 15 years (studying, dating, work…) It was on a brand new PC I had put together for my design studies. Two things I remember perfectly: A) the atmosphere was incredible and scary B) when enemies showed it ran in stop motion. Sadly I had to put my money towards more memory and better monitor and the GPU wasn’t as necessary to me at the moment.

So I’m super happy with my OLED, I switched my Switch for in and have zero regrets. I play mainly on my PC and use the Deck for couch gaming mainly for games that don’t use mouse/keyboard, like older games, emulation, rpgs, twin sticks shooters, etc. I play most of the time in handheld mode.

But there are a few things I would wish they were better, some are personal preferences so take them as they are:

• I wish the screen was larger. Im in my mid forties and on games with tiny characters (e.g. Hades) thi is particularly noticeable.
• The back buttons suck big time, like really, you then go back to your controller of choice with back paddles and it’s even more noticeable how bad they are. In general the controls could use some better ergonomics.
• The whole dock situation is very broken in my opinion, especially if you compare it to something as seamless as the Switch. For several reasons: when docking, sometimes the image doesn’t fill the TV screen because the Deck is 16:10 and the TV is 16:9 and they have different resolution. There is a setting to mitigate that, sometimes it works, sometimes it’s not. And when it’s not you either have to deal with it or restart the game. HDMI CEC is a whole world of its own, you may have a dock that supports it or not and if not is a pain to deal with. Have a third party controller for when it is docked? Well, you’ll have to fiddle in the settings every time you dock or undock for it to work properly.
• The cloud save thing is finicky too. You will be surprised at how many games in your library don’t support it, well, at least in my library, probably because I play lots of older games. But even in the games that support it, it lacks a lot. See. The point of cloud saving would be to be able to seamlessly switch between your Deck and PC and vice versa and continue playing there, right? Well, not quite. In order for Steam Cloud to work you need to EXIT the game first (and pray that the game you are playing allow for saving freely anytime), then wait a few seconds for it to sync (sometimes up to half a minute). It might sound picky but you are playing on the Deck, you want to just press the standby button, leave it resting on the dock and go play to your PC. Well not so fast.
• There are other minor gripes like when sometimes it takes an eternity to wake from standby or when the mouse doesn’t work on desktop mode for some reason and you have to keep the Steam hey pressed for it to work.
• Getting your GOG, Epic or Amazon games to work is not always as straightforward as Heroic Launcher makes it seem and sometimes you’ll need to troubleshoot stuff.

Is still a great machine that allows your entire PC library on the go and works great on all games I throw at it but my point is that it is not as seamless as some people want to make it look. It is not a console and it shows. I don’t have a problem with that but it is worth noticing it.

The GENOCIDE, not the war.

I you knew it was that different then why the fuck called it Dragon Age? Just start a new franchise at that point.

That’s when I was enjoying life.
