Played through that last month, had a great time with it. Made me want to go back and replay Jet Set Radio, but the movement in JSR felt really bad after having recently played BRC.
Replaying Sonic Adventure 2 was interesting, the sonic/shadow levels were still pretty great but the tails/eggman levels were way worse than my childhood memories led me to believe.
I’ve played most of that game, I would describe it as a creature collector with better combat and dark souls style world exploration. There’s little to no highschool/persona content.
If you’re playing GBA JRPGs, I’d like to recommend Golden Sun 1&2 as fantastic games.
I’ve been playing through Lost Judgement lately, and really enjoying it. I enjoy the Yakuza/LAD games in general, but I think Judgement/Lost Judgement really benefits from the gameplay additions for detective work. The game runs pretty well on Steam Deck too.
Also been playing through Doom Eternal again, which is always enjoyable. Playing with gyro aiming and flickstick for quick turning is a great way to play the game without a mouse.
I asked mistral/brave AI and got this response:
How Many Rs in Strawberry
The word “strawberry” contains three "r"s. This simple question has highlighted a limitation in large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4 and Claude, which often incorrectly count the number of "r"s as two. The error stems from the way these models process text through a process called tokenization, where text is broken down into smaller units called tokens. These tokens do not always correspond directly to individual letters, leading to errors in counting specific letters within words.
There’s also a “r” in the first half of the word, “straw”, so it was completely skipping over that r and just focusing on the r’s in the word “berry”
I haven’t looked into Deepseek specifically so I could be mistaken, but a lot of times when a model is called “open-source” it really is just open weights. You can download it or train other models off of it, but you can’t actually view any kind of source code on how the model works.
An audit isn’t really possible.
I have a strong suspicion that Trump is wanting to do things during his presidency to ensure he has a “legacy”. He wants to have some big accomplishments that will make him standout more than some of the other presidents. Things like starting Space Force, wanting to add new states/territories/etc, I think it’s all about wanting a bigger legacy.
Oh that’s nice. I’ve used a script for nested desktop for years now, but I completely missed that they added an official app for launching it.

Seems like there’s hope.
Personally I’m hoping to see some better sales on the first Spider-Man game once 2 comes out. Right now the lowest I think it goes is about $30, but judging from God of War sales after Ragnarok released, I think that will come down to $15-20 after Spiderman 2 comes out.
The (fps) rich get richer while the (fps) poor are left behind, the true tragedy of our times.
The plugin isn’t available on the plugin store yet, and has to be downloaded manually from the github.
Also general reminder that framegen isn’t recommended to be used under 60fps according to AMD. It will work, but you can get really bad input lag. It’ll depend on your own tolerance for input lag and the type of game for whether this will be a viable option for you.
I had some issues with Decky recorder, but that was it personally.
The OLED deck in general just gets so much better battery life than the LCD. Getting 2.5 hours instead of 1.5 hours on a demanding game is a huge increase.
Those increases are only for running games through wine. If you’re running your windows games through proton (which is the default for the deck) you’ll see a minimal performance increase, if any. It should improve compatibility for games though.
The former pebble employees at Google worked hard to get the OS open source, so I think it’s fair to assume they were hoping for this outcome. And the repebble team (who are the ones"bringing it back") have been working on providing support and keeping the original pebble watches going for years now.
I actually fully agree with the article on all of those points. I generally stopped buying switch games after I got the deck, titles like TotK sit barely played on my switch because I couldn’t pull myself away from the Deck for long enough to play it.
Part of it is size, the switch is really uncomfortable in my hands, but the biggest reason is I share the switch with my kids, where the deck is exclusively my device.
As for the sleep resume feature, it’s literally the biggest reason I play on a switch/deck over my desktop PC. Having my own dedicated game system that offers the option to instantly stop or start a game session is the killer feature that has let me play games again. The switch stopped being a viable option for that once I had to share it with my kids, because I would put a game to sleep, and they would close it to launch their own game.
Someone actually made a really good guide on it about a week ago:
