Damn, dude, save some pu...ns for the rest of us. 

The real MVP for brake jobs is an impact screwdriver for that one screw. You know the one I mean. 

I use mine a lot too. It’s really great for playing social games like Jackbox with a bunch of people in the living room, but it works really well for everything I’ve thrown at it.

Still makes more sense than the BMW X6.

Ditto. It’s a great little box. We use it to play Jackbox games with a bunch of people in the living room and it’s literally worth it JUST for that. 

A steam link on a hardwired ethernet connection works amazingly well. Wireless is no bueno. 

Yeah, but digging out my laptop, and having a place to set up, and plugging it in and then booting up and getting my controller set up and getting past the inevitable windows updates because I haven’t booted my gaming laptop in a couple of weeks is usually enough to dissuade me from doing it.

We’re all being totally Sirius right now.

This is absolutely my biggest hurdle to the Nintendo ecosystem. Their “tying the game to the console” philosophy is very consumer-unfriendly and we hates it. *hisses*

You may not know who this is for, but signing up to get one has been really competitive already. The servers are overloaded and I can’t get through and the high-end model is already out to q2 2022 already. So, clearly there are enough of us to move some units. 

I stand corrected. With proton support, this thing will play a solid 50% of my library (my library has a LOT of older titles that I wouldn’t expect to have solid Linux support). That’s not bad at all. And to find out you can simply do a windows install is even better. Anyone have any experience running a stripped down

I don’t think accessing the SD card wears it out and there isn’t a lot of writing to and from the SD card during gaming, so I believe we are fine here. I welcome a correction if I’m wrong. 

Ditto. It works shockingly well, but that hardwired connection is key. 

That one was pretty good for it’s time!

Singularity -I’m pretty sure- is a never-installed game in my Steam library. I might have to give it a chance. 

Whew. I thought I must have had a stroke in my old age and lost the part of the brain that recalled Far Cry having “monster powers”. I’m serious, I was a little concerned. 

I don’t see anyone commenting on the real issue here.

Once you realize “family values” is code for “You know, how it was in the 40's and 50's”, it’ll start to make sense.

Unfortunately, based on a perusal of the market this is...sadly.. a NP
