You're thinking the common view of affirmative action. DEI isn't just about hiring. It's about educating your workforce about different people's backgrounds & lived experiences. If you hire someone who is ideal for the job with years of experience and an absolute win for the company, then some other schmuck cracks a deeply offensive joke based on their race, sexuality, age, disability, etc., you have essentially created friction within the team at best, but also the possibility of that hire leaving for a more inclusive company.

Voting for other candidates only shifts the needle if they win. If they can't possibly win, nothing is accomplished by voting for them.

Against who? 24 year old registered Republicans who were never taught how to cope with the harsh reality of life?

I would be interested in the Necronomicon's chain of custody, since the first Evil Dead movie takes place in 1981!

The FXIII franchise always played fast & loose with how Jason keeps going, but I agree the Deadite angle really works in that regard. My argument for "what took Jason so long" is exactly the murder of his mother by a camp counsellor. He was R-ing I P at the bottom of Crystal Lake but came back for vengeance when she was killed. He even had her head enshrined in (I think?) the second film. Mama's Boy.

That messes with the Pamela possession theory a little though. Interesting if he was agreeable to her setting up shop. Or maybe by the time one possessing soul is "killed" the other is powerful enough to come back. Like a tag team rampage.

I haven't read it in a long time but I remember the lore being pretty faithful to all three franchises & cleverly executed. If Jason is a Deadite & possessed by Pamela, that would still be man (Ash) vs nature (Pamela's vengeful spirit), though it very much leans into Jason being used as a tool, which implies that the puppet master has agency beyond a mindless force of nature.

(Just having fun here and am happy for my hypothetical to be shot down.)

There are plenty of walkthroughs online. I used this one and was up and running pretty quickly. It took longer for me to dump ROMs. It plays Wipeout Pulse better than my PSP.

Battery typically lasts around 1.5 hours on a modern game, a couple hours on an indie, but really depends on the games. I watch movies on VLC in the Deck's desktop mode and can get through at least 4 or 5 hours.

If you're worried about battery life, there are high-wattage power banks you can get that work with the steam deck, though you're looking at around $100 or more. The plus side is they will also charge whatever else you bring with you.

That would also classify Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash as a man against nature clash. Groovy.

It boggles my mind that none of these are disqualifiers.

It'll be fun while it lasts.

It's a 3-way tie I think. Since the Steam Deck can emulate almost anything, that's a winner. But for legacy consoles, the 3DS and PSP have probably eaten up most of my game time. Between those two, the 3DS has a massive catalogue of games unique to its dual-screen touch interface, so...I guess the 3DS?
