GoG isn’t terrible, but is a little bit of a pain with Linux. They don’t have native support with the desktop client. Although, there are things like “Heroic Launcher” and “Lutris” that work well as a substitute. Granted most of my experience with those are on my Steam Deck. And it just caused too much pain to get CP2077 working for me. That I got it again on Steam when it went on sale.

I’m honestly glad I didn’t bother watching this year. Kinda just forgot about it as it started and went and saw Godzilla Minus One. After reading about its reception I think I’d made the better choice.

S0undTV is a good app for Twitch if you have an android TV device. No ads and support for the emotes if you like having the chat up. You’ve got to login to twitch through the app though to start watching. It’s broken before and had ads play, but gets fixed within a few days. Lastly there is a delay compared to desktop. If that’ll be a deal breaker.

Best of luck to everyone that wanted one! Especially the limited edition one. I’ll be waiting for a steam deck 2 or something. Already got the top LCD model w/ hall effect joysticks and dbrands’ Clone of the Kingdom on mine.

Just gonna list a few.

Xenoblade Chronicles (1 & X): haven’t gotten around to the others yet.

Final Fantasy XIV & XVI: Soken is a god

Mass Effect

Legend of Dragoon

I’ve got the Clone of the Kingdom skin on mine.

The only things I’m not liking are when using the touchscreen has a weird lip now. And getting the grips to sit pretty is annoying; might just need to apply more heat then try smoothing them out. Did it while applying, but man is it slightly difficult. Other than those two things the skin is fantastic. Would recommend getting one to people if didn’t wanna go through a shell swap.

Lastly, if anyone is interested in one, when it says be careful with the top piece. You REALLY need to go slow and keep your fingers near the wax paper and the sticker. I was going slow then got to the vent part then it just zipped up getting a tear on one side. Luckily it still worked, but made it a slight pain applying that part of the skin.

Yeah, that’s where I was going with it. Thought about breaking it into two separate sentences. But in my head it seemed weird to state “hardware upgrade and cartridge shape” separately. Probably should’ve thought for clarity.

I see them pulling a DS to 3DS jump. Better hardware and the cartridge is different shaped to prevent the games being played on the DS. Just in switch form this go around.

Nope you didn’t miss anything if you watched all 24 episodes. It was just split into 12 episodes last fall and the 12 episodes we had in spring this year. Marketing called the spring run “season 2”. Typically a Gundam series is about 50 episodes split 24-25 each season.

WfM was only one season. They just broke it up calling it season one and two. Instead of being cour one and two like it was initially advertised as. And in my opinion the show really suffered from being only one season long. Hell just two or three more episodes might’ve done wonders. Show just turned into a pile of wasted potential in the end for me.

If you want another Gundam to watch I’d recommend giving Turn-A a shot. It’s only subbed though if dubbing matters.

Thunder as well.

I could just be dumb, but I hope that it’ll still use the switch cartridge. Like how they did it with the DS line up until the 3DS when they changed it. I could see them potentially doing that too. If it does I’ll finally jailbreak my OG switch with the tegra exploit. Just been too much of a scaredy cat to do it.

There is an option for life time Ultra now. For the United States it’s $99 USD. Honestly at that price making it a negative for me ghost rider. Although, respect anyone getting it. Good way to support the dev for something they use every day for the most part.

It does feel really nice. Although, I’m gonna keep the app I was using, Thunder, installed. I wanna see how it evolves.

I had a Xperia 1III I really enjoyed using it, but my fingerprint sensor just quit work on it on day. Outside of the warranty too so it doesn’t help. So I upgraded to a Pixel 7 Pro as I had a 4XL prior to it and liked that.

Would’ve gone with the 1V, but the 1III was my first Sony phone and that happening sketched me out. Might get another though once it’s time to upgrade this one or it craps out. Sony is doing what a lot of other companies aren’t and I respect that.

I’m bouncing around between apps. Connect was good and using Thunder right now. Joey for Reddit was my go to; I just put the Lemmy apps where it was.

You’re not the only one. Sad times, although I’m probably keep it with the bump. I was using another service for hi-rez, but gonna be canceling and just moving back to YT Music. Moved off in the first place because the UI is kinda ass (still is for the most part).

And that my work center, for the longest time, blocked YT from COVID to limit bandwidth for people that got to work from home. Luckily it’s not anymore. So just had to pay a service to get all of my liked songs over.

Oh I agree and probably should’ve said that. YT Music is still inferior compared to it. Only upside that I like is that I’m able to upload my own music into it. Instead of having to use my CDs for things that aren’t on a streaming services.

Wonder when they’ll go after the legacy subscriptions. Mine’s still the $9.99 individual plan from Google Play Music days and it’s evolution. I haven’t seen anything yet and hopefully won’t for a while longer. Although, it’s just a matter of time sadly; gotta get those increased profits.
