I watched end to end, a hearing that could really alter our lives as we know it... and I couldnt stop thinking about was "I bet Burchett is impossible to be around." and "The lack of animation on Luna's face is either due to gallons of botox, or she is an alien in our midst."

I am still skeptical over all of this. It is just my nature. I am in the "I want to believe" camp, but just cant bring myself to believe it until I see it. I believe Fravor saw a tic-tac shaped object that defied physics. I believe we see UAPs all the time. I am not so sure that we havent developed some technology somewhere, that allows us to do unimaginable things like these craft have done. I know the arguments as to why it makes no sense that they are where they are doing what they are doing... I get the counters to what I think... but it doesnt make me stop thinking that it is most likely what it is.

Grusch (sp) is not Fravor. If he is being honest, great... that is great. But there is something in his body language i didnt like. I feel like he enjoys the spotlight to tell his story, more than he enjoys tellling his story.

To answer your question though, lets just say for a moment that what he is saying is true... that we have recovered craft, and some contained non human organics, and that they are aliens. I dont thikn we hear anything fast. I think there will continue to be meetings that get hushed up, while they formulate a system of responses. The public wil be the last to know.

Also in regards to this being a smokescreen for the Hunter Biden garbo... lets not forget that this could also be a smokescreen for the torrent of Trump indictments and legal woes. It seems like this distraction serves both sides equally... which to me, makes it all more of a viable diversion.

I dont think anything is necessary, other than upgrading your storage. I considered an SD card, and decided the price break was just better overall for an ssd. I got a western digital 512 for like 55 bucks I think.

The hardest part of the swap was getting the case apart. I did watch a couple of videos for tips before I did it though... it made it pretty painless. the biggest pro tip was to start the separation of the case by one of the trigger buttons, and just run a credit card along it to pop the tabs. Another suggestion is if you dont have a set of tiny screwdrivers, i would recommend getting a cheapo kit. I had one I made due with, but even it was slightly too big for the task.

Like I said, I would watch a couple of vids so you know what to do as you proceed, how to flash the new ssd with the os, etc. It really isnt that hard. I am not too terribly of a tech savvy person and was able to do it.

I just got the bottom dollar deck, and it came with a case btw. I bought a cheap dock off of Aliexpress and it works fine. I think I paid under $25 for it.. i am certain you could probably get the same one on amazon for ~the same price. I definitely wouldnt buy the valve dock. If you dont have a controller, the world is your oyster. I bought a cheapo $30 bitdo.

I think the brand of screen protector I bought was Ivoler, and it was a very easy install... it came with a "frame" to square the glass install.

Good luck, i have been enjoying mine.

Thanks everyone for their responses! I eventually pulled the trigger on a $29 8bitdo wired/wireless controller!

I was looking at this game, and it was what literally made me pull the trigger on a steamdeck... It should be arriving today, and i hope to have the ssd swapped, reimaged, and get that installed so i can play some this evening!

Ill be getting mine later this week, and that screw issue is not what i wanted to hear.

[–] howler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I just bought the base version, and it should be here next week. I bought a 20 dollar docking station from AliExpress, a 54 dollar 512gb ssd from amazon, and an aftermarket antiglare/screen protector. I am still well under what I would have spent for the highest tier.

Ive been wanting a mobile gaming platform, and i could no longer deny the steamdeck. It beings the steamgames i would like to play from a couch and adds the options for emulators my pi couldnt handle. I also feel like the next gen will have a mich higher price point, as well as more options that would only range higher and higher... So i figured now is as good of a time as any.

I think meta will dominate the space that federates with it. Hopefully none of my instances will do that... And I will be unaffected.

Lol

"Joerg Arnu’s love of Area 51 saw him move to the Nevada desert and build the world’s most comprehensive database about the mysterious military base. Ever since his homes were raided by federal agents eight months ago, he’s been trying to figure out why. "

My guess is his being raided had something to do with the "most comprehensive database" about a military base.

This might sound crazy, but i am just using the website via Firefox on my phone. Jerboa wasnt doing it for me, and someone recommended just using the website... I prefer it over jerboa. I imagine with all the development going on, there will be something better showing up, but until it does, I'm just going old school.

Me, a stubborn old gen x'er. : "I will leave every platform, until none are left!" Im very saddened to hear "we" have caught the hungry eye of the beast. "Can't beat em? Join em.... Then beat them..."
