Natural habitats for the uninitiated! Absolutely wonderful little web series. I first discovered them through Lemmy and I have binged the entire catalogue several times. Here are some faves:
They are also on IG!
Because I don't need or want it to do any of that, nor do most people that purchase a console. I want it to be a steam-friendly PS5 replacement, and serve the exact role that a console serves. A steam-friendly replacement would have the same OS features that deck has, and allow a similar degree of customization. You are not the use case if you don't understand that.
It's literally not, that's steam running in big picture on an inconvenient setup. No controller wake up, no rest mode, stuck with windows, no convenient app switching, need mouse/kb to do anything outside of steam. Source: have gaming PC that I never use.
Steam machines were a great idea that the market wasn't quite ready for, and were too niche at the time. The steam deck has proved people of all technical levels are ready and willing to embrace a non-windows OS, and don't care what it is as long as it can easily give them access to their content. I have an Nvidia shield, a PS5, a steam deck and a desktop PC. My game library is disjointed and I rarely play anything on the PC, because there is no good way to make it convenient. The vast majority of the time I use my steam deck, I'm sitting on my couch, just like my PS5 .
A steam console could unify everything, cut my devices while simplifying my experience and giving me way more control over the invasive bullshit that comes with streaming and android devices. That has so much upside and value to me, it's hard to even put a price tag on it tbh.
Yes I am that people. A gaming console media PC that sits still, has rest mode, and can interface with a server for my media, or run streaming apps like a regular ass PC but from the convenience of my couch. Like basically - my steam deck with a hardware upgrade at the expense of portability. That's exactly what I want and I would happily pay for. Even at $700+, that value is there for me and I imagine for tons of others.
I honestly think (hope) valve should take a shot at a genuine console. I would absolutely love something that just WORKS like steam deck, but unlike my PS5 syncs with my steam library and can easily transition to my deck with no fuss. Library compatibility, graphic customization, capable of functioning as a one stop media device for the TV room. I feel like the steam machines were too early and too short sighted/compartmentalized, but now that so many games are coming to PC, valve could take everything the PlayStation 5 did right, while removing all the bullshit that drives people nuts.
They won't because the hurricane didn't affect them personally. Like everything with republicans. Voting against helping everyone but themselves is exactly what they stand for.
Fun fact, 62% over six years is the exact same amount of money as 62% right now and no increase for the six following years. You can get more free lessons about contracts and raises by joining us at lemonparty.org!
PS5 pro is a waste of money, but also lots of people don't want a PC to play games. Two things can be true at the same time!
Or better yet just don't use a phone at all! Can't make you unlock what you don't have!

Not counsel, compel actually. But either way, definitely not console! Ha
Pro tip, if you suspect the police are going to take your phone, turn it off. As far as I am aware, finger print and face id do not work on initial startup and they can't compel you to enter your pin without a warrant.
The OG cooler ranch bags were, ironically, absolute FIRE 🔥🔥🔥
I love my PS5 🤷🏻♂️
I had two of these, and loved them. One died and fossil outright replaced it, zero cost to me 1.5 years into the warranty, and battery changes were free in-store. Unfortunately the app support went downhill and the second watch became borderline unusable. Really bums me out because they were SO practical and functional, and I feel like a ton of people would embrace them if they had better marketing/support.
Lmao see? It's a dumb fuckin logo! It's so bad that it's ranked up Google searches for what "KN" cars were.
But like I said that's also probably part of the point. They wanted to disassociate from the stigma they had in prior decades. No better way to do that than give yourself a new logo so weird that nobody even realizes that it even spells "Kia".
I don't play a lot, but feel free to join me! Friend code:#1767-2141 (PS5 if that matters)

Around this time two years ago, the Flames looked like one of the best-equipped teams to win the Stanley Cup. They didn’t, of course, and the outcomes have only gotten worse from there. The superline that accounted for so much of their scoring fell apart, with Johnny Gaudreau leaving for Columbus an...
I wouldn’t say Denver is a steak town. Green chile, sure. Weed? Absolutely. But steak, not so much. That’s not to say you can’t get a good one. Del Frisco’s has been the gold standard since I moved here two decades ago. My rookie year as a wide receiver with the Denver Broncos, in 2003, […]

The Washington Commanders fired Ron Rivera Monday morning, after the team wrapped a miserable back-slide of a regular season with a 38–10 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys, their 13th defeat of the campaign. The Commanders were never anything close to good under Rivera, with one measly playoff appeara...

Aaron Rodgers’s first season with the New York Jets is ending much the same way it started: with the 40-year-old quarterback getting a lot of attention without doing much of anything on the field. It was announced today that Rodgers was voted by his teammates as the Jets’ most inspirational player o...
The Dolphins have a playoff berth locked up, but how they do in Sunday night’s AFC East title bout will signal a lot about their Super Bowl hopes—and their quarterback’s ability to get them there
