And a couple of backups in case it goes down (it goes down sometimes).

my instance is federated with them, but I have every single community of theirs I’ve ever seen blocked now.

Wait, we can instance block nowadays, why going through every community?

Oh… This can’t be good news can it?

I mean I am used to seeing bad news everyday, and this is what a bad one looks like.

Ah, Steins;Gate, one of the most praised animes that I hear often that I specifically don’t play because I forced myself to check it out once I finish the Vita game (which is buried in my backlog 🫠).

The day I see a Steam Deck in Walmart in Mexico (my country) is the day I am gonna acknowledge these PC handheld devices as Switch competence (I mention the Deck because it is the only one that I am slightly interested in getting, probably other brands are already there).

That is fine, hopefully you get it on a discount as well.

I agree, you know where is the only place I see political shit all over again? Lemmy and Reddit lol. (In non political communities ofc).

Oh, and US politics ofc.

Pocket Cast, because it is the only option to have my queue synced along all my Android, iOS and even Alexa devices (I don’t pay the subscription so I am missing out on the desktop and website ones), if there is an alternative for it, please enlighten me.

Probably the same steps you’d need to if you use Plex and are CGNATED (thanks CGNAT for teaching me basic networking).

You know all the certs and security and port stuff you need to do? Plex does that. You just download the app, point it at your folders with media, and you’re all set both at your home and beyond it.

I am just gonna read your comment until here, Plex does shit if you are CGNATED, and as it is 2025 I suppose most users are, I still needed to expose through IPv6 with a reverse proxy, using a VPS or a VPN to access my Plex Server, so yeah, Plex hasn’t helped me at all since many years ago with the noob friendly approach they have.

EDIT: Oh and their relay feature is garbage, even for Plex Pass users, and I happen to be a lifetime one.

These posts are top notch content, I don’t even have a Steam Deck but I love the way it is formatted, this is peak Lemmy, congrats OP.

EDIT: I am following you in Mastodon now!

I don’t question the dog hunting abilities, but really there is not a predator in Australia that could have taken the dog in that time frame? I am more impressed about that.

Yeah that is what I said “cheap” too, it doesn’t matter how cheap the NSO is, the games won’t keep in your account if you stop paying, thus they are never really yours.

The best approach was the Virtual Console, but it was dumb that they never respected your previous purchases.

Outstanding even in today’s days!

Or maybe not.

I don’t think I get your question?

What I can tell you is that BOTW and TOTK can get more than 30 FPS once the unit is hacked and overclocked…

If the question is about the Steam Deck I am afraid I can’t answer, I don’t have one.

I haven’t tried since I am still stuck at the ending of BOTW, but the guide I followed to get 60 FPS with it said TOTK would be not much different, which is reassuring to me.

Definitely the consoles/handhelds improve their real potential once they’re hacked!

That’s better FPS than the 15-30(max) it gets on the switch.

That is why the best way to play the Zelda games in original hardware is with a Switch hacked and overclocked, I get close to 60 FPS in many areas (60 in closed areas) and even 40 is a big improvement over 30 lol.

If I had a beefy PC I’d definitely check them out at 120 FPS though.

Oh, so it does get more than 40 FPS while emulating it on the Deck, that is good to hear, I do get higher FPS (closer to 60 FPS) in my original Switch 1 overclocked in BOTW (I heard it is not very different with TOTK), and I don’t get to do the quirks and workarounds that comes with emulation (I do it with the hack itself lol) because well, the game runs natively.

The battery backup you get is definitely better than mine undocked though (although when I do this I play docked), so it is good to hear Switch 1 games aren’t that demanding then.

when steam deck 2 comes out, does steam deck verified get bifurcated where a game can get certified for either system separately?

I’d say yes, at least I would do it that way.
