This was all via chat so much faster than the painful voice prompts. I agree those are terrible.

The kind of AI I mentioned isn’t a massive resource sink. I can run that sort of thing locally on my own computer. They don’t need supercomputers for level 1 material.

Nah, AI chatbots are at least useful for the basic repetitive things. Your modem isn’t online, is it plugged in? Want me to refresh it in the system? Comcast adding that saved me half an hour a month on the phone.

I fully believe they’re at least as good as level 1 support because those guys are checking to see if you’re the type to sniff stickers on the bottom of the pool.

What’s wrong with Safari on iOS? I prefer Firefox on my computer but on my phone all I want is better adblocking.

Yeah that’s the only reason I’ve considered it. However, things have changed a lot since the Switch 1 came out. Existing Switch emulators will likely work well on Switch 2 soon given the similar hardware and the Steam Deck massively raised the bar on what I expect out of a portable system.

Plus the controller still looks like it sucks for adult hands.

Working as a solo dev on a project you know by heart is literally the easiest work to do. If you’ve never had to work on a large old codebase you have no idea just how hard it can be to make changes.

I’ve done this sort of thing for years and I would not even give an estimate on a change for a new project without some time to look at the code base.

Can’t be done is usually shorthand for the cost massively outweighs the benefits. No different from remodeling a building. Like coding, literally anything is theoretically possible but sometimes you’d have to redo so much existing work it’s never going to be worth it.

You’re probably right, but I hope not. Those third parties keep focusing on chips poorly optimized for a handheld and ditching touchpads.

Yes yes yes. Pop down the MG right before the enemy charges in and go to town.

UGREEN has a nice one with 3 normal USB and one USB C. Went with it because it folds up nice for packing and the dock to deck cord is removable so I can easily use a different cable if I want to use it with my laptop.

Chorus: Arcadey space combat. Gameplay is ok so far, but not a fan of the weird mystical voice over they’ve got going on for the MC.

Lego Star Wars Complete (not Skywalker): Fun and silly. Good 2 player game.
