Yikes. Seek help, please.

You’re totally right of course.

This place is so hilariously extreme it makes Reddit takes look normal.

Yeah I’m confused, my SteamDeck seems to do fine at 720-900p depending on what I’m playing, but any higher resolution and it’s going to tank pretty hard.

Doesn’t it say “Wounds were altered”?

At least they’re recyclable.

Yes that’s the problem.

Yes, I understand some people wanted it to do or be more, as I said I am not one of those people. I just wanted an awesome remote play device because I was tired of connecting my phone to various things just to get a weak facsimile of my PlayStation.

I won’t be mad if they update it to do more, but I’m certainly not knocking points off the thing simply because it isn’t a Swiss Army knife for gaming. I could use my SteamDeck for that.

My guy we have had low latency Bluetooth standards for a long time. You are being duped by corporate propaganda. Do a Google for “AptX LL”. I use Bluetooth headphones on my SteamDeck all the time with no observable latency.

And yet when I use it I do notice a tiny bit of latency, which is fine for the most part in nearly everything I play, but I’m not sure I’d want to play a rhythm based game on it.

I’m not alone in this either: Steam Desk - Bluetooth audio latency issues

Well it’s not made for those things, so I’m not upset it doesn’t do them.

And there actually is a reason it doesn’t use Bluetooth headphones, because Bluetooth adds latency and there would be a delay trying to use them for gaming.

You can see this happen now with a lot of VR headsets, the delay from Bluetooth is really noticeable enough to break immersion.

And I’m really enjoying the Portal, it’s everything I could hope for in a simple remote play device.

Probably part 2, because it’s got the best evolution of the originals gameplay, without going too crazy deep into mechanics like the later games do.

Well this sucks.

Loved this dudes contributions to the genre.

…ever heard of a little thing called Fortnite? I hear it makes a tiny bit of cash money for them.

Alternatively you can apply the Little Brother technique and just let them win more than they lose in whatever “competitive” game y’all are playing.

Just try to do it in a non-obvious way.

I really don’t get the sentiment of that comment.

That dude is really emotionally invested in their Spotify decision, lol

Before dinner I thought it was food, boy do I feel silly.

Also, this usually only happens when people are in a hurry and pull from the top instead of the bottom where it’s curled around.

Never mind, my fat ass thought it was a weird angle on a can of Pringles or something food related.

My bad dude, I will do that for now on, just wanted a quick and maybe a little dirty summary of the whole thing, and after reading it all myself I still wasn’t quite sure how to summarize the whole thing without bias on my part!

No worries I was not trying to hide it, just wanted the summary because I was curious about the whole thing.

I agree with the other guy, when I feel compelled to sate my curiosity this way, I will be sure to qualify it with a “from ChatGPT” response.

*Summary from ChatGPT.

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 had several significant impacts on the telecommunications industry in the United States. Here are some of the key pros and cons associated with the legislation:

Pros:

1. Competition: The act aimed to promote competition by breaking down regulatory barriers between different types of communication services, such as local and long-distance telephone services, cable TV, and Internet services. This was expected to lead to increased choices for consumers and potentially lower prices.

2. Deregulation: The legislation aimed to reduce government regulation, allowing companies more flexibility in offering a range of services. This was intended to encourage innovation and investment in the industry.

3. Technological Advancement: By promoting competition and removing certain regulatory restrictions, the act aimed to encourage technological advancements in the telecommunications sector. It contributed to the growth of the internet and broadband services.

Cons:

1. Media Consolidation: The act’s deregulatory approach led to increased consolidation within the media industry. This concentration of ownership raised concerns about the diversity of voices and perspectives in the media landscape.

2. Local Service Issues: While the act aimed to promote competition, some critics argue that it did not do enough to address issues related to local telephone services. In some areas, competition did not materialize as expected, leading to concerns about monopolistic practices.

3. Digital Divide: Despite advancements in technology, there were concerns about a “digital divide” where certain communities, especially in rural or low-income areas, lacked access to the benefits of new telecommunications services, such as broadband internet.

4. Loss of Localism: Critics argue that the act contributed to the loss of local control and localism in media, as national companies gained more influence over local media outlets.

Overall, the Telecommunications Act of 1996 had both positive and negative consequences, and its impact continues to be a subject of debate in discussions about the regulation of the telecommunications industry.

People be lonely, yo.

I just want to play the resident evil I missed out on growing up. C’mon Capcom, remake Code Veronica already!
