I watched multiple tech reviews bend the thing in their bare hands. Just because you didn't damage yours doesn't mean it wasn't a huge issue

I read the headline out loud to my friend and said "I can't wait!" She replied "for what?" And I said "to become doc oc." Then I opened the comments and this is the first thing I saw. 10/10

What if we just had specific tags that we could filter for. everything gets the nsfw tag but we have specific tags for nudity, violence, etc.

If that were the case there wouldn't be such a massive variance in the amount used. I'd love to see these studies though since so many seem to exist

That's not the target usecase for the deck or for cs2. It's cool that it's possible and really showcases how flexible and capable the deck is, but valve has no obligation to support or optimize for it.

Cs2 is quite optimized for a typical Windows gaming PC, aka the target platform. I get well over 300fps on my midrange build. Valve is putting a lot of extra work into proton configurations to get Windows games working well out of the box on the deck, it's perfectly fine that they haven't done that specific work for the deck yet, if at all.

I'm sorry to say but you're an outlier. Most people with decks aren't typically docking them, and even less are docking them as a desktop replacement. For me it's a portable with the flexibility of easy couch coop but I never want to have to use a mouse and keyboard on it.

Controlling scope of supported systems to ones that are most commonly used is the smartest thing they could do. There's a reason cs2 isn't supporting consoles this time around and it's telegraphing great things for the game this time. They aren't making the same mistakes they had to correct with cs:go on launch.

  1. The nitrogen is to keep them from going stale in oxygen. The amount of nitrogen across various chip manufacturers ranges from 19% gas all the way to 59%. That discrepancy range is where the psychology comes into play.

  2. The gas is partially pack fill to keep them from getting crushed, obviously. My whole point was that it is significantly more gas than necessary for pack fill.

Fact is if you make the package look bigger, people think there's more. There's a reason we have laws about unnecessary slack fill. Nice try though, Dwight

Yeah we should be able to play half life Alyx on the steam deck too!!

Well there's a reason it's not a verified game. Valve is rightfully not targeting the steam deck for it because the gameplay experience wouldn't be good. If you want to still play it that's on you but I don't blame them for not supporting it. It shows that they are serious about cs this time, imo

Thanks for checking that man you're the best. I'll definitely get some podcasts transferred over and try it out after work tonight

Might try it, does it have skip silence, per cast playback speeds and configurable start and ending skips?

Man I recently switched from podcast addict after years because podcast addict put an annoying nag about permissions changes in Android, plus I always had issues with the playlist/queuing. Guess I'll go back to it soon

Yes but it's far more than necessary to protect the chips. Bag sizes are inflated for the psychology not the practicality
