  • Yup. My wife’s car is a '22 and while overall solid drives her crazy with its sensors yelling at her. Thankfully, the auto adjustment to steering if you ‘veer out of your lane’ can be disabled. It still beeps at her for usually no good reason, though. Meanwhile, I hate it because it uses Android auto and is absolutely horrible at managing multiple phones. When I drive it won’t connect. Meanwhile, when she gets home, it hijacks my bluetooth even if I’m listening to something with my headphones. If I unpair it on the phone side it spams pair requests until I block it.

    Meanwhile, my car is roughly 10 years old, runs just fine, doesn’t beep just because I used my turn signal with a car next to me, and has basic bluetooth that just works. I much prefer mine.




  • I’m not about to tell anybody they’re evil for playing a game like this and not knowing any better. If you really wanna change people’s habits, you’d be better off showing them what a better game can be. Even then, they could legitimately prefer their gachas or be addicted. I think that’s pretty crazy but there’s only so much one can do.

    The AAA price increase was mostly just wanting more money and using inflation as an excuse. They’re not necessarily hurting because of f2p games. Well made traditional games still sell but often times the big publishers put out unfinished crap or overload their full-price games with monetization anyways. Those may be hurt financially. Meanwhile, games like Elden Ring and BG3 have done extremely well.

    The pressure to change needs to be put on the companies, not the individuals. What the individual mostly needs is awareness.




  • Outside of the major changes of the screen and battery, there’s minor changes in pretty much every area of the OLED. Whether that’s worth it depends. For me, the Deck was my main device, and for that it was completely worth selling the old model and upgrading. If it won’t be your primary gaming device or it will almost always be docked (so not benefiting from the screen or battery), then maybe not. In either case, the power is basically identical and some software changes have been made to massively improve the LCD screen, so you really can’t go wrong.












  • I don’t understand why a company would even want to use the music if it means they can only sell the game for so long. Obviously, it’s not the current reality, but I would outright refuse any deal that involves a limited amount of time to use material that goes into a video game, movie, any form of media except maybe live services that are constantly changing anyways (which is a separate issue).

    At the very least, people should be made aware of a game’s sale period, though I’m sure that’s kept under NDA.


  • I’ll admit I’m not super knowledgeable on the space outside of the Deck, but it really feels like most of these things are pushing power without any consideration to usability. You’re a PC, you need convenient methods of handling PC input and plenty of input options to handle the number of inputs. Without that or a handheld-friendly mode in Windows, you’re probably dead in the water. Props where they’re due to the Legion Go on that front for trying something new with its joycon mouse.
