Unfortunately you need something with long firmware and software support. Qualcomm is your enemy, they stop updating the firmware of their chips after about two years and that’s why android phones often stop getting updates less than 2 years after you buy them.

90hz screen with 180hz polling is what my phone uses as well, it’s nice that the deck has now caught up to that.

Also remember to leave your original deck on when downloading games on the new one so it can transfer them locally, which should be faster. There’s a setting for that, but I think it’s on by default.

Try Smarttube, it’s a joy to use.

I use SmartTube on my android TV and it’s great. If you can find an android TV box that doesn’t come with malware preinstalled or get android running on the pi, I highly recommend it.

If you’re bad at a multiplayer game, you’ll die a lot. That’s just part of it. Any good game will give new players a way to fight good players (TF2 has the anti titan weapons for example).

Poorly designed games will punish bad players for being bad (like unavoidable COD killstreaks for example).

SBMM is just a band-aid for a problem that lies much deeper.

The solution is simple: Create lobbies by ping and then split the teams by skill. I think titanfall 2 does that, I’ve been playing for a long time and if I meet another veteran, they are usually on the other team.

Yeah we need to stop giving corporations rights that only humans deserve.

The 502 came up before even getting to checkout for me.

Didn’t get the LE because the server kept giving me errors unfortunately. I didn’t plan on upgrading so soon but the OLED seems to fix every issue I have with my deck. Better trackpad edges, slimmer bezels, a DPAD that allows overlap and some more cooling so it’ll probably be quieter.

90hz was what convinced me. I can’t believe valve put that into the fine print instead of the top of the site.

Do you think the cars on amazon will be cheaper than sticker price and save you the negotiation?

It’s already back to working for me (frankfurt data center) and I was able to order my new deck.

You’re storing unencrypted data on google drive with those backups, so they scan all of your chats. Whether they just look for malware/CSAM or people manually look through your chats is something you’ll never know.

But it’s nothing special, those things were built like absolute tanks. You could kill someone with an early model M and then go right back to typing.

You don’t need an exhaust manifold, you need an intimidator!

Sounds like a very good offer, I doubt black friday prices will be better.

They chose a 90hz screen and put that in the fine print? Alright that’s it, anyone want my old deck with gulikit sticks and a jsaux backplate?

I’m tempted, the screen is 0.4" larger and that’s my main gripe with the deck. I’m surprised that it’s a bit faster and also a little annoyed because they wanted to keep the hardware around for a long time to make a stable target for game devs. Now that target will be the OLED and devs won’t care much about the old one, so early adopters will get more stutter later down the road.

If casual means relaxed to you, factorio. Their new controller integration is great. But be careful, it’s highly addictive.

Looks great, but I get a lot of SSL errors without real tine downloading and one every 5 or so songs with it.

It’ll take a week or two to download 3000 songs, but running it periodically after that should be fine.

Sounds like a good idea. Zotify keeps throwing meter-long stacktraces at me about SSL errors that I assume are API rate limits because there’s less of them when I use real-time downloading.

Maybe it’s even a nice project for an android app because zotify doesn’t run there yet.
