Unlikely in the US. For other countries I think it mostly depends on their distribution partners. Here in Japan it's readily available at some electronics stores such as Edion

Stupid question maybe, but have you tried replacing just the nib? Apple pencils start to act very strange when that wears down

Not yet, unfortunately. It'll work with pretty much any Switch 1, Xbox, and PS4/5 controllers though. 8BitDo Ultimate bluetooth controllers are good too, and their extra buttons on the back can be remapped in Steam too nowadays.

I'd suggest setting your sliders to "sRGB" and "6500K" to start, but you can tweak them however you like.

Only gripe I have is that external displays (tv etc) uses the same settings, so you'll want to turn the color temp and vibrancy back to to native if/when you dock it.

You don't need Decky for that anymore, it's built-in. Settings -> Display -> Adjust Display Colors

If it's rated A1 or faster, it should work fine on the deck. Very very few games have issues on a microsd that fast, and the few that do you can install on internal storage of course.

The biggest issue at launch was the 64GB steam deck model with rather slow eMMC storage, but it could be replaced.

I just count the coins I already have so I know which figures I can handle/which figures I would need to round up. Slightly easier in JPY though, with coins for 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500

The screens/checkpoints strike about the same balance as Super Monkey Ball levels. It's so good

The most success I've had is converting a straightforward script/wizard from C++ to Rust, but it can't do too much more complicated than that, and anything less is mere autocomplete.

It's a great code search engine and rubber duck though, thanks to its approximate knowledge of many things

That said, I'd kill for physically embodied Steam games

Steam has been comsistently solid since it started, but even if it wasn't, their own DRM/Steam SDK is trivial to bypass so backups aren't too much of a problem (newer Denuvo games aside)

Plus the free cloud saves/multiplayer and amazing sales just sweeten the deal. I love my Deck

PC handhelds aside, you could check out the list of PortMaster compatible games. It'll convert tons of different games to run on ARM Linux handhelds

There's also the risk that, way down the line, Nintendo shuts down the old download servers, meaning you would eventually lose access if your switch 2 breaks or is lost.

The old Wii Shop Channel/Virtual Console games can still be redownloaded though. The eventual final closure date is still TBD.

It was a limited release sadly, and they really didn't make enough for the western market. They even delisted it from the eshop as part if the limited run plan

Heads up: both Visa and MasterCard are in the S&P 500. If you invest in that, then you have a financial interest in what Visa and MasterCard are doing.

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos

Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done.

We got more than 1000 people.

When Humble Bundle was new I collected a ton. Now, most games I only buy to play in the short-term. If I purchase things I don't plan to play immediately, it's only because I want to support a specific developer/project and usually while it's on sale

Well at least you're using Fork. It makes Interactive Rebase dead simple and intuitive, it's actually the reason I bought a license as soon as they went paid.

But yeah, think of interactive rebase as "replays each commit diff, but pause before commiting any diff that you want to change"

The sad thing is early 3DS buyers actually did get a handful of GBA games for free when Nintendo dropped the price, but they never released them more generally.

The compatibility layer they used is very well understood nowadays, and tons of GBA games work perfectly with a little tinkering

It definitely had the nicest screen of the original DS line, and some of the DSiWare games you could get off the eshop were cool, but missing GBA support was a bummer.

If you want to play DS games with a big screen and no upscale blur, it's great. I really liked mine

The standard deduction is $14,600. This change would help people whose majority of income is tips (of couse ignoring all the healthcare etc cuts). Higher earners who likely don't need it will just use it to dodge income/gift taxes to much more benefit than actual service workers IMO.

You've got it backwards, that's not how a tax deduction works. Up to $25,000 that was recieved in tips can be deducted from your earned income if you make <$150,000 overall.

I'm guessing it's safe to assume you've tried different capture modes in both Game Capture and Window Capture properties as well. I know mismatching screen refresh rate/game fps/obs capture framerate, plus games being windowed/borderless/exclusive-fullscreen can all make captures jank

So convergence seems to finally be kind of happening? Android 16 QPR1 has a solid desktop mode, Termux feels rather complete, the whole winlator/Box86-64/Wine stack is getting better by the day, and a 15" NexDock is only $300. My next phone upgrade is going to be sweet

NGL this was better than the majority of the actual Summer Game Fest showcase

Panel 1: A girl in a green t-shirt is asking Shen, "Can you rotate an apple in your head?" Shen is replying "Yeah!"

Panel 2: A thought bubble comes with an apple in it comes out of Shen, who is now alone in the panel. He is beginning to rotate it.

Panel 3: As he continues rotating it, a face begins to appear, revealing that one side of the apple had a face.

Panel 4: The apple is now all the way rotated in the thought buble, and fully facing Shen with its face. It says "Hi!! Thanks for rotating me!!" to which Shen replies "OMG HI!!" It then says "My name's Lucifer!" to which Shen replies "that's a pretty name!!"
