She resembles the cat from Dungeon Crawler Carl, which is an audiobook you should very much listen to. (The book itself is good, but the audiobook is one of the best I’ve ever heard).

You mean Gravy Boat?

What about Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk?

I’ll always remember him for Mario and Luigi being tied up in this image.

Nah, not mocking anybody. You’re good!

Honestly, one of my favorite parts of the Deck is being able to stream games like CP2077 from the PC to the deck with Moonlight/Apollo. Even if the Switch 2 could play it better than the Deck natively, it definitely can’t beat my desktop. 😁

Sure, absolutely. But those aren’t Nintendo games. 😁

Sure, but Switch 2 encryption isn’t broken yet, last I checked. Also the Switch 2 is beefier than the Steam Deck, I doubt the Steam Deck will emulate it well.

That’s what I meant by “newest.”

In fact, you can play more Nintendo games on the Steam Deck than you can on the Switch 2. Just not the newest ones (yet).

“Nerdface” I have called it.

Fuck yeah!

I had installed it anyway and it had some pretty severe texture issues, I’m looking forward to trying it out!

Depends on the game. For example, on the Xbox Series X or PS5, I often elect for better graphics (raytracing, 4K, etc) at 30fps, especially with third-person titles where you can really appreciate the scenery. God of War Ragnarok in 4K with raytracing is a sight to behold on a big OLED TV. But some games (most first person titles, racing games, and perhaps surprisingly Diablo 4) I prefer the higher framerate.

If I were a squijillionaire, I’d have a 5090 and get both framerate and fidelity. But I am not. I am a humble console peasant taking his earliest steps in the PC gaming world.

Agreed.

Also it being more natural is irrelevant. They aren’t wild animals. They’re pets. They’re much better fed than anything they’d compete with, so they aren’t having to worry about being sparing with their caloric expenditure. That’s also not natural.

Get a catio, don’t let your cat roam wild.

Right, I couldn’t remember the word “catio.”

Don’t let your cats be outdoor cats. It seriously harms local bird populations. Cats are murderous little shits.

Make a little fully-fenced-in area if you think they need to be outside.

Oh I forgot about WiFi 6E. Suuuuuper good for streaming from your PC.

Graphically intense games can be good too, especially in bed, streaming from a PC in the other room.

An etched screen protector can help, but isn’t as nice as the native etched glass. The underlying screen is the same OLED as the 512GB, I believe.

The OLED model is also just better. Got a few minor upgrades other than the screen. Faster RAM, better battery life, slightly lighter. Maybe some other changes.

You can get an etched glass screen protector that emulates the effect. The one I got isn’t as good as the base screen (which is essentially perfect), it has a very small amount of color scrambling if you look really closely due to the nature of the etching, but it’s not bad and I got used to it quickly.

That’s fair, but I can tell you from experience there’s no way it’s going to fall out during the lifetime of that elastic. I say this because it’s mildly annoying to extract it (which, admittedly, isn’t an issue with a dedicated pocket).
