As long as tools to unclip the shell aren't consider specialized, I think almost all existing handhelds are gonna meet the actual requirements here - they just have to be user replaceable, not use swappable, without the use of specialized tools or thermal energy. If you can unscrew it, disconnect the old battery and connect the new one, it complies. It's really only an issue in waterproof devices, where they have to glue everything to seal it.

Unless something has changed very recently, Destiny 2 does not work under Proton because the Anti-cheat isn't compatible. Windows is an option, but I'd really recommend a dedicated Windows handheld for that instead of the Deck.

I haven't tried Windows on the Deck itself, but based on 6800u performance, you're looking at maybe getting a solid 30fps on lowest settings. Destiny 2 is not a very well optimized game atm, and even the Ally at 20w can have trouble holding good performance in Neomuna or the Tower.

PS: I know about the implications of potentially removing contributions to the internet.

Reddit does not get to continue to profit off of any contributions I've made to the internet, one way or another. Anyone convincing you not to delete comments on reddit is a scab more concerned with maintaining the status quo so they don't get inconvenienced.

The obvious:

1. Stop airing a single women's match every show. IMO the TV titles show be getting defended every other week each, and it shouldn't count as the women's match when the TBS champ has a match.
2. Give them more build than one woman giving an interview and another showing up to randomly challenge her. The slowest improvement on the planet here.
3. Don't stall 1 of the 2 belts for a year waiting for a single person to come back from injury, no matter how good she is.

The more controversial:

1. Firm up some larger factions and brew up a big ol faction war. It's a great way to restart/kickstart the division imo, since so much is completely uninvolved. TFM TK keeps toying with something like this and then chickening out
2. Push this into giving the women one of the marquee matches, Blood n Guts or Anarchy in the Arena or Casino Battle Royale or something that gets the big name on the posters and all the photo slots. Actually let them headline some shit
3. Don't bother with any more belts atm, there's already 2 we rarely see.

This is all assumption from me, but I think a lot of testing would likely be diagnostic machines and specialized testing -- not actually playing games. I would assume it's something like plugging in, confirming the parts all meet spec after whatever the refurb is. That spec is probably more around frequencies, power use, temperatures.

Obviously that's not good enough if they're sending out these clearly broken refurbs.

"Punk's created a drama-free locker room by banning a bunch of people" sure, the locker room might be drama-free, but now there's 10x as much drama in the company overall. good thing there's a brand split and nobody from dynamite ever has to wrestle with anyone from collision, like at all of these ppvs. no chance for drama when that happens.

All just my opinion/feelings on this shit.

The problems have been building since last year. Plunder and Seraph were less stable and more buggy. Plunder was kinda panned as a bad season by some, but between a Showcase promising us features we'd been wanting for years (in-game Loadouts, in-game LFG, a renewed focus on the ritual playlists, probably more I'm forgetting) and Seraph's awesome story and (imo) fun missions, some hype came back for a lot of us.

Lightfall itself was a mixed bag, but they eventually made progress on the stability issues (credit where it's due, shit is a lot more stable for me). It had story issues, but they weren't WORSE than previous story issues imo, just a regression. It wasn't a GREAT place, but if they fixed stability it would be ok.

Then the SotG comes out, which says (loosely translated) "Stop asking us to make more PVP/Gambit maps, we're never gonna do it like you want because it wouldn't make us enough money. Also no more free armor, because y'all didn't appreciate our basic ass armor sets as much as the ones that make you into a fucking t-rex, just pay up piggies"

If they had not said anything, it would've been better than posting a "We, a company purchased for billions of dollars, can't do the #1 thing our fanbase is asking for because it wouldn't make us enough money".

There is some good news in there, I guess. Favoriting shaders is the kinda basic QoL stuff we should've seen years ago when they redid shaders, but better late than never.

Punk who has shown a commitment to trying to move on from controversy and is merely reacting to being prodded by others.

The well known moving on tactic of refusing to allow anyone I don't like to be in the same building with me.

It doesn't matter if Perry had gone in the back and called Phil a prissy lil baby bitch to his face. He escalated it to violence. In the real world, that's not acceptable.

Any other work environment that you publicly bad mouth another more senior coworker in front of the customer and you would be lucky to not be fired.

In any other work environment, if you said something that 99.9% of people had no idea was "bad mouthing another more senior coworker", nothing would happen. Keep in mind he didn't go out there and say "Punk is incompetent and incapable of managing a Target" or an "empty-headed, fucking dumb fuck". He said "It's real glass, cry me a river." That's not even BAD MOUTHING.

Also, in any other context, something like that would both obviously be a real statement (because there's no kayfabe in the real world), and could directly impact the business. As someone who watches AEW constantly, I didn't even know about this backstage glass drama.

Fragile Phil is the biggest baby on the planet and decided Jack Perry wasn't being sufficiently subservient, and got physical. He is the stereotypical bully.

If I've learned one thing from the Yakuza games, it's that land in Japan is precious and you gotta build on it now, no matter what.

Obviously, being from England the Blackpool aspect of it is a natural fit

I think he's a good fit, but this is kinda like saying "Obviously being from America makes Mox a good fit to join the Hollywood Hunks" lol

This sounds really useful. It looks like there's a site builders.gg that can do it, though it might not be the one you were thinking of? If you find another, I'd love to hear about it.

Mox is going to go on a tear, elevating the title and eventually putting over a new face when he drops it.

OC is going to rest up and enter the world championship picture, at some point.

I can totally get behind telling a story over the entire year. The problem is they didn't bother with a story that would do well doled out in parts. Instead they went "Let's just return to D1 poorly explained mcguffins and then we can explain it later!" which backfired horribly.

Great video for sure. Yeah the actual story revealed is fine. I don't care that the Veil is still largely mysterious because we've given it the context where that mystery doesn't matter as much -- it's the darkness analogue to the traveller. It seems to be singular, gives out(?) darkness powers. There's still plenty of mystery (wtf are the traveller and the veil? are they sentient in any way? we've seen some signs of it from the traveller but nothing I'd call definitive yet, as examples), but we understand where the veil sits in the story and why we needed to prevent the Witness from geting in there (OOPS!)

It's got completely different ergonomics from a regular controller, yeah. I BELIEVE the idea is you hold it with your index and ring fingers on bumper/triggers, instead of just index fingers up top. This makes the grips rest comfortably in the palms, at least for me,

Sure. They could do that. That doesn't really address my point though. And it's really unlikely to happen on any meaningful scale, imo:

1. The market for a dedicated phone OS from one of the larger consumer electronics makers is ORDERS of magnitude larger than any kind of handheld PC gaming console. Just because Samsung did it for phones does not mean anyone will do it for handheld PCs.
2. Even if they do, there's a lot of negative sentiment about Samsung's version of Android, to the point multiple Android users I know will never buy a Samsung phone. It's not necessarily a goal to emulate.
3. Leaving all of that aside, that is still not the same thing as the maker of the device also being the developer of the OS. You're at the whims of upstream to fix a lot of major things, or you're maintaining a massive patch process on top of their releases. It's a much larger task than just "hire staff to optimize steamOS".

We already have some makers offering "steamos support" in the form of... basically a single steamos image they release once and don't steam to maintain? GPD's "GPD OS" from Dec 2022 and Anbernic's Win600 Steam OS image from Jan 2022.

And still the best way to run SteamOS on either of these devices is ChimeraOS.

The closest to what you're describing is AYANEO's ayaos. I don't know if it's a steamos fork or not, but it's their take on linux gaming OS. It's been in development for a while and we've got nothing but a few clips of it to view. And considering it mostly seems to replicate the Ayaspace windows app interface, I'm not sure it even offers any benefits over Windows+ayaspace.

That said, there's some great history here and it's a super interesting read. Just a lot of "I will NOT be worked under any circumstances!" energy.

The first couple posts have some decent weight to them, and I think I am willing to buy TFM Tony Khan thinking this was a good work to pull, like the days of old.

But half of this shit devolves into numerology that requires "Vince McMahon actually owns AEW" to track logically. It compares things like the start date of AEW and the day tickets went on sale for an event (not even the event, just ticket sales.) This is some full Charlie with a corkboard and red string vibes.
