Tbf, didn’t helldivers have it right at launch but the overwhelming popularity crashed the servers so they nixed it. Then they tried to re-add it and the community revolted and they made it optional permanently?

You could still use the mouse & keyboard combo on Deck if you prefer that. Just plug it into a monitor or tv and you’re good to go. I’m just controller gamer primarily lol

I play level 8 without any real issues. It has a deck preset for graphics now. It definitely isn’t a stable 30 but it is in now way unplayable. I routinely walk away with a death or two plus about 550 kills vs both bots and bugs.

It ain’t the prettiest game especially when played on a TV but I’ve been gaming for 30 years and it doesn’t bother me anymore if a game isn’t the sleekest looking. That said, if you only play handheld, it still looks pretty remarkable. And I have no issue using a controller since it was built for PS5

Still playing Helldivers 2 since I got it. Fun game that

That’s why I prefer roots of pacha. You can make days 2x as long in the settings

Lots of channels getting strikes are showing anbernic and steam decks and the like running the roms featuring Nintendo games being emulated on said device and not just a video capture of the game

I have been thinking more on this. Seems like a spare router with no Internet should suffice. Gives it a connection with no Internet so it can’t go anywhere and since it has a connection it shouldn’t be hunting for open networks

Is it possible to open the TV up and just break the wifi module?

You can also set it up so biometrics can be used by apps but not to unlock the phone. That way it’s easy to get to your apps and such but trivially more difficult to unlock.

That only works if you’re rich

Nah. My mone is on a new and transformative way to fuck the end user over via a more scummy battle pass thing

All the big news channels are propaganda and entertainment machines in their own way. A majority of voting Americans are hooked into all of that trash TV

It’s one of those things where I didn’t know until I was in my 30s and figured imagining things meant thinking about them and not actually seeing them.

If you don’t know what it’s like you can’t miss something, ya know? But there are experiments that are trying to give visualisations to aphantasia folk. I’m not sure I’d try it because then I would be missing something.

But, big pro: I can see absolute horrific stuff and I’ll never be able to reimagine it. Describe a vile, nasty car wreck? Can’t see it but I know it’s bad. It has weird benefits

Dude, I’m a 5 lol

Most EA and Ubisoft games I’ve played run fine on Deck. Just need to run the game in desktop mode first and then it boots in the Steam UI side of the OS just fine.

Go Goats! Just don’t do the oil change 😅

Yeah, was gonna say get a one of those rf blocking baggies or something

And if there were an “ambush”… Well, the cat would be out of the bag since you told everyone, mister article writer.

Justifying why Apple does it compared to Google doesn’t make it better. That’s like saying, “Well, they didn’t hit me THAT hard so it’s okay. The other guy would hit WAY harder.” Neither is okay

He’s already said as much. So I’d imagine it’s more incipient than possible
