Escape from Duckov has me pretty hooked right now 👍

So, the first one they said.

The movie is ‘V for vendetta’ in case anyone is wondering.

Yes please! This would go a long way in helping more people dump the alternatives.

Favorite thing right now is how piefed collects crossposts. Such an excellent way of cleaning things up.

Awesome!

I just tried again though, and it’s still doing the same thing. 😬

Good to know it’s being documented, and thank you for the response. It’s still an exciting feature and one I think I’d use pretty often if/when it works right!

Damn, that’s a badass murder sesh. Looks like some end game content or something. I never got that far.

Ew, live service 🤢

Oh, awesome! I’m checking this one out later for sure 😁

Good, more developers should take that kind of stance. I might just get this game out of moral obligation.

I’m gonna throw up again?

Yes, I am aware of all of those details affecting my user experience. Most of it is in a good way. I don’t find myself needing/wanting touchpads. The higher resolution and refresh rate is certainly a welcome upgrade. Thermal throttling doesn’t seem to be an issue. It has an sd card slot for expandable storage. Battery longevity and replacement parts are valid concerns, but not total dealbreakers.

The handheld I’m looking at is the onexfly. Pretty much all of the reviews I’ve read and watched say that it’s an excellent device. The long term support is a good point, I don’t know how much I’d be able to depend on the company since they are based in China, but I am planning on buying it used/refurbished and putting Bazzite on it, so those points are a little less relevant because of that I think.

I actually did own a steam deck for a while and didn’t like physically holding it. It was too heavy, and the ergonomics weren’t right (in my opinion of course).

I appreciate what you’re saying, regardless, but I feel pretty confident that I know what I’m looking for and also what to look out for as well.

Streaming can be a good option, but it’s not ideal for me personally. I play a fair bit of platformers, so introducing any amount of latency is a no go. Also, I’d rather not run two devices at once. If I was going to have to run my laptop anyway, I’d just go ahead and play it on there instead.

Being able to upgrade (or not) is a valid point. For the mini pc, it wouldn’t really be used for any heavy duty stuff (except maybe some freecad if it was even capable). I suppose a small form factor like that will have certain tradeoffs.

With the handheld pc, I’ve got kind of a similar mindset. Many of the games I will be playing are indie games that will run great, but I can always tune down the settings for the more demanding titles. The particular model I’m looking at is a very capable device, and I think I’d be happy with it for a very long time.

Good tips, and thank you!

Thanks! I’m glad Freetube has been working again recently. That last outage lasted a while… Lofi girl keeps me sane, lol
