I have different expectations for different games. Generally I want the battery life around the 3 hour mark, though; if it can't hit that, I don't really want to play it on Deck.

I prioritize framerate over graphics 100% of the time. If a game hits 60FPS but I have to drop all the graphics settings to Low, that's a W for me. For AAA stuff, I'll do 30FPS if I don't have to drop the resolution too much, and if that 30 is STABLE.

It specifies it's from the app, so they have access through the native functionality for that. When you go to install it, it lists the data it accesses, and by downloading and using it, that's how they are given permission.

Protip: Don't use the app

Don't forget:

1.5. Spend a fair amount of time mocking the people you fired across interviews and social media, and suggesting their work/abilities have no value

He spent plenty of time on thr "Fuck around" path, and is unhappy where it leads.

Also I think the Meta stance is that Threads doesn't have any former Twitter employees on staff, but who knows if that's true.

I've been really impressed with Mastodon so far, and I hope more Twitter refugees join over time.

Now, are these "Experts" in the room with us right now? How long have they been talking to you?

Most of the games I like to play on Deck have to target the 3-4 hours as my "Sweet Spot" so most of these will fall in there:

  • Dredge

Dredge is billed as a cosmic horror fishing game, and it is super engaging, and works great with gamepad controls. I played through the entire thing on Steam Deck. I think I lowered some graphics settings to hit the sweet spot but it wasn't any kind of extreme compromise due to the game's low poly art style.

  • The Messenger

You're a ninja who gets sent on an adventure to defeat the demons who attacked your village. There's some gameplay and story twists I don't want to spoil, but even outside of that it's a fun game with good platforming, new abilities, and boss battles. And it's got a great sense of humor

  • 3DS games

I don't think I've played any that don't offer at least 3+ hours. My go-to is Mario Kart 7, but pretty much anything in Citra is cool. My 3DS battery died out so I can only play tethered to the charger, so it's nice to have an alternative - plus you can upscale them to 720p and play them in HD. Lots of fun!

  • Hades

I really dislike most roguelike games, to the point that I lose hype now when I hear a cool indie game is one. Hades is one of the handful of exceptions for me. Combat feels very fluid and responsive, the visuals are gorgeous, and it sips battery.

A lot of people say they like the story and characters, though I'm not really clicking with it. But I haven't finished it yet so maybe I'm just not at the cool story stuff yet? Either way, I'm enjoying myself quite a bit.

Facebook is also a big gathering place for white supremacists, anti-LGBT, and other conservative extremists. It's largely where the US Capitol insurrection was organized. Meta is no stranger to fascism.

Watch Bender's Big Score. There's some continuity. No spoilers.

Nein, wahrscheinlich schwedisch

I've done the four sage dungeon things, and put probs 90 hours into the game. Mostly been doing side stuff up until this point, and somehow I still haven't run out!

Still working through ToTK tbh ngl. That game just has SO MUCH CONTENT.
