Pixel 6 Pro running GrapheneOS, which I got a couple months ago. Pixel phones are the only ones compatible with GrapheneOS, otherwise I would've kept my Samsung phone tbh
i agree with what they brought up, as we probably don't want c/vancouver to be a carbon copy of r/vancouver, however i also think that fetching some valuable pieces of news (perhaps some of u/cyclinginvancouver's posts, for instance) automaticatically here might make sense, at least initially?
I've been using a LG 27GR95QE for a couple of months now and I love it.
One of the issues with OLED monitors is sub-pixel rendering/layouts being different than usual LCD, which you can mostly bypass in Linux (I've been using it for work and am really not bothered after 8hrs/day looking at code).
Oh yeah, it's not like I need a new handheld or anything, I'm very happy with the Deck. It's extremely comfortable, I really like how easy it is to mod, find replacement parts / third-party accessories or even get support online.
That being said, I've been spoiled with VRR support on PS5 / Xbox Series X and it can quite literally be a game changer... And since the Deck is my only PC, I wouldn't mind a bit more performance from the Ally.
ChimeraOS and HoloISO are pretty good options for 3rd party handhelds, but I agree, it would be so much better/easier if Valve did that and ultimately it would probably be a win-win for them.
I alternate between my trusty Onewheel Pint (which I've rewheel modded and got a GT40 battery mod for, so I can comfortably go 35-40km on a single charge) - mostly rides around the city and on trails - and a Ride1Up Cafe Cruiser. This one is fully kitted for my SO to sit on the back or to go for weekly grocery hauls (I also got panniers at the front, haha), it's a very nice ride and I love it.
I really love my Analogue Pocket, but I (quite literally five minutes ago) just bought a Miyoo Mini Plus, for the convenience of save states everywhere.
I fear I won't be able to help you choose either, haha. I feel like it's always a "struggle" between getting the most authentic experience and just convenience, really.
The Miyoo might ultimately make it easier for you to pick up and play in short bursts, if that's what you're after.
A tip that usually works for those, you want the URL of the community in its original instance (so https://lemmy.world/c/pchandhelds here) and you can search for it from your own home instance's "Communities" Search page ("All" type filter).
It worked for me, coming from beehaw :)
Some do, but much fewer than on Game Pass, it's not the model Sony is trying to push.
That being said, you'll usually find first-party titles after a year or so (but they might not stay indefinitely).
I would recommend taking a look at gamika.me if you want to get an idea of how both services compare. I personally enjoy both, maybe for slightly different reasons? I still think PS Plus Extra is a great deal though!
I'm lazy so I'll just link to my comment on this very thread.
I haven't actually reinstalled MSFS since upgrading from a Series S to a Series X earlier this year, so I can't confirm whether stuttering on the X is still a thing, but performance on the S was pretty much flawless. I didn't install Lost Odyssey on the S back when I had it so I can't tell, sorry!
As for performance and graphical fidelity in other games, it will vary, and you'll likely notice it, as did I, coming from a PS5 - especially on 1440p/4K set. As a game pass machine though, it's really hard to beat price-to-performance wise.
This video from Digital Foundry also highlights specific differences for MSFS that usually aren't present in other game. The short of it is that you might actually notice more stutters on Series X than Series S, surprisingly, at the quite obvious expense of graphical fidelity.
i've been having issues where the device would be unresponsive when waking it up from sleep (either during a game or in desktop mode) and the only option would be a hard shutdown, so i've become wary of sleep mode.
i'm still using it 90% of the time, but i make sure to save my progress beforehand.
Agreed, a week is not nearly enough for a lot of games, which is why I really wanted to interface with HLTB.
If you want an excuse to get to Coquitlam, North Van or New West, for instance, you'll see how most Lower Mainland libraries have longer borrowing times (usually 2 to 3 weeks) and pretty great selections too.
I don't think I've ever cried so much during ending credits before...

Saturn controller hands down. The d-pad is the best ever and the overall layout is great for fighting games / anything 2d.
In more recent memories though, the Dualsense (Edge) would be my favourite.

Hey, thanks for the new community, there's already a few of us over on !vancouver@lemmy.ca if you want ;)
Mostly walking, biking, onewheeling or public transit. Every once in a while I end up using carsharing.

The in-app image viewer is such a welcome feature!
thank you all for your hard work and contributions to making our experience on Lemmy so nice
Finally back into DMC 5, because I've been playing My Day Job: The One To Pay The Bills for the past week and a half (and that wasn't fun...)

the "game preservationist" in me hopes it - at least - won't require a day 1 patch on top of that!
