This whole article is great but the last section resonates with me pretty hard at work rn:
But I think the core of what pisses me off is that selling this magic machine requires selling the idea that doing things is worthless.
At work we're being pushed to use Copilot because "you shouldn't spend your time coding, you should spend it designing" (actual quote) and my guy, I enjoy coding and writing and doing things, not sending it off to the plagiarism-pollution machine
Still working through the Dishonoreds. Almost done with 2 and I'm enjoying it WAYY more than I did back when it came out (and I gave up after 90 minutes).
I would like to get back into Vic3 since I'm hearing lots of good things about 1.9 and the new DLC, but I tend to fizzle out of every Paradox game after 3 hours. Maybe that will change this time?
Since getting an Anbernic something and really liking it, I've been trying to use my SteamDeck more but it's just so not nice to hold or use for more than 30-45 minutes. Alas, I've been playing WarGroove (badly) on it.
My partner and I loved 'The Pitt'!
'Murderbot' is the main thing I'm watching/caring about at the moment, it has it's final episode this coming Friday
The Deus Ex games are all great (YMMV with Invisible War tho). I'm currently going through the Dishonored series and at least the first one should be fairly nice on the SteamDeck battery, but that might be one imm-sim too many 😆
As an aside: how do you find using the SteamDeck while flying? I also have to do such long flights to go to my home country but for me the SteamDeck is just really uncomfortable after about 45 minutes of use.
I mean, the Switch 1 also abused the heck out of the USB-C specification (I can't find the really good write up anymore unfortunately :( ) Not surprising they would do something similar here. This post suggests it's not actually that dire
The EU AFAIK only requires that USB-C charging needs to be compliant.
ETA: This is in no way me going in to bat for the big N
I got one of those Anbernic emulation devices and I've been quite into Secret of Mana (a game I could never finish the 30-odd years of restarting it countless times).
Also replaying Dishonored. IDK why, just feel like going through the series (I did not like the second one and gave up after a few hours when it came out).
