Exactly, yeah. It’s not super important, like in FO4 idk how helpful it’d be, but it’s a game changer sometimes. I played through Kotor on the Deck by using Steam Input, and made it feel practically native with next to no effort.

Depends on what you’re looking for. On Steam you get stuff like Steam Input, and ofc having it be tied into the Steam ecosystem, which depending on how you play pc can be a big deal or not so much. Plus if you plan on playing on Deck, it’s a bit easier if you own it on Steam.

With GoG it’ll be DRM free, which for many people is a massive deal. Basically once it’s downloaded it has zero ties to GoG, meaning it’s yours and yours alone, you can do whatever you want with it, back it up, turn off your internet and play it whenever you want. You can even download it from the website without having to install the GoG client.

Plus through GoG you can easily install the Fallout London mod, which may be a nice bonus depending on you.

Ultimately I’d say GoG unless you’re heavily invested into Steam and would make use of the integration with the ecosystem.

Basically just focus on staying present and not letting yourself get carried away by your internal monologue. It’s infinitely harder than it sounds. You can close your eyes, focus on a specific spot in a room, focus on your breathing, anything to keep yourself present and focused. Keep your mind empty as best you can.

The best advice I ever got was, when you have an intrusive thought during meditation, to acknowledge it, and let it fade away. Don’t focus on it or criticize yourself for it, as that will usually only make it harder to refocus yourself.

Meditation is super helpful for a lot of reasons, but for me personally it helped a lot with negative thinking and mental traps (like catastrophizing and stuff). It helps you to be more aware of when you’re getting carried away by thoughts, and how to push them aside and be present.

Look into mindfulness if you’re interested, it’s helped me a lot.

Husband is what?

Just wanted to say that while I agree with the spirit of your comment, there are so many Nintendo first party titles that barely hit 30 fps, that a power bump would be nice.

I’m not expecting 4k 144 fps, but just hitting a consistent 30 (or call me crazy, 60) would make me very happy. Playing Xenoblade at sub 720p, or Tears of the Kingdom at less than 30, is just unacceptable imo.

I don’t even care about a Switch 2, just give me a Switch Pro or something, something that can play all the available games well.

Tbh once the Steam Deck released I haven’t picked mine up once. Barring grabbing keys and dumping games for emulation.

But tbf I don’t really prioritize Switch exclusives and more used my Switch just to play my favorite games, all of which are on Steam. If I only played Nintendo games it’d be a different story I’m sure.

It’s the same thing. I used to have a Samsung with an always on display and loved it, so I was thrilled when iPhone finally got it after I switched over.

Same deal, OLED screen, you can use it for the clock, date, weather, whatever.

What’s up with that crazy decline in Russia?

Really good, you can get around 8 hours on the LCD if you cap it to 30 fps, and around 10 on the OLED

The App Store not being filled with predatory trash

Depends on what you mean by puns. As someone else pointed out, some signs in and of themselves are jokes, but there are also plenty of jokes in ASL in particular that don’t translate super well, so they’re really only funny in the language.

Exactly this, if you can’t contribute to society as effectively then you have no worth

I was in a psychiatric hospital for like 6 months, but like a pretty nice place (I wasn’t institutionalized or anything, this was something I chose) and heard horror stories from some of the other patients there about those places. I’m so grateful that I never had to go through that…

I literally thought one of my friends had been exaggerating until we got a new patient and he had similar stories. Horrific stuff.

Bummer, well I hope you eventually manage to get one. The Steam Deck is a super cheap entry point nowadays.

You can already. It’s on PC

Cyberpunk and RDR2 both

Imo money can buy happiness to a point. Having financial security obviously affects your happiness, but anything further won’t necessarily guarantee more happiness.

So like, if I had less money I wouldn’t suddenly be sadder. But if I had so much less to the point where I couldn’t live securely, then yeah it’d affect my happiness.

So to answer your question, no, not inherently.

I’ve been going to therapy for 12 years. Try again

I have money and am miserable lol. Congrats tho

Apparently they’re limiting sales to one per account per week, so hopefully that stops bots. It did with the original at least.
