Meanwhile me who just never deletes anything:

I bought a Steam Deck so I can play games while on the go. I just kind of forgot I'm never actually on the go, so 90% of the time it's just gathering dust on my nightstand, because I'd rather play on my proper gaming PC when I'm at home.

It's not, this pic is many years old, way before ai-generation became popular. My guess is it's just shit photoshop by somebody who isn't paid nearly enough to care

"Upgrade your pc, lol" should not be a solution to a problem that a company randomly created for no real reason. What OP is doing is right, bitch about it and hopefully Valve will notice and fix it, as they should.

Some great jokes in there:

• FC24, a game with mixed reviews nominated for GOTY.
• RDR2, a game the online mode of which got abandoned two years in because it wasn’t making as much money as GTA5 nominated for Labour of Love.
• Starfield, a game which steals most of its gameplay from decade old Bethesda games nominated for Most Innovative Gameplay.

Idk what the steam community is smoking these days but it’s got to be good.

Courage the Cowardly Dog. I know it's a kids' show, but I was terrified of entering the basement for months after seeing the episode with the floating white head

"watch the ficus" - telling somebody to be more careful after they do something clumsy like tripping or nearly dropping something. I used it in front of some friends once and got confused looks. Apparently grandma used to have a potted ficus tree and used to tell me to watch it when I was playing close to it, so it stuck as a saying in the family.

I never liked afternoon naps as a kid, so I brought some Tom & Jerry comic books to read during nap time at kindergarten. The teacher told me that everyone has to take a nap, took my comic books and never returned them. I'm now 25 years old and still salty about that.

I wouldn't really call WWE "safe", more like "mostly not life-threatening". Lots of wrestlers have gotten properly fucked up over the years. Yes, the intent isn't to cause harm but with all the flashy moves being pulled you are bound to break a few bones at some point

Lanterns are a pretty significant fire hazard, i'd avoid those too

That's not always the case. Some games stream in assets as you play so you might get bad pop-in or freezes. Forza Horizon 5 was nearly unplayable on an HDD for me, because the map couldn't load in fast enough while driving quickly. No issues after reinstalling it on an SSD.

Are you dual wielding mice, my man? Why do you need two? I know it doesn't matter for your question, but I'm genuinely curious what the use case is.

I have a Fairphone 5 and it's... ok. It's definitely overpriced for its specs but you can't really expect a cheap phone while cutting down on slave labour at the same time. It's also quite buggy. Not unusably so, but coming from a Galaxy S9 (yes, Samsung bad, that's why I switched), it's a bit jarring. For example, sometimes I'll pull it out of my pocket and it's mysteriously off. I turn it back on and there doesn't appear to be a reason for it and it works fine. A few times I've had the battery drain insanely fast for some reason, despite the phone reporting no apps having high battery usage. Some apps also have issues on occasion, Discord for example tends to get stuck in the gallery view after you send a picture and it doesn't allow you to open the keyboard again. It's also missing some minor, but neat things, like the ability to snooze alarms by turning over the phone (Edit: tbh that's probably a stock Android thing and not really fair to hold against the phone, but I still miss it) and the fingerprint reader is nowhere near as reliable as the one in my old phone.

The vast majority of the time it works just fine and if you don't expect the polish you'll get out of a Samsung flagship, you'll probably be ok with it. But you are very much paying a premium for the sustainability and repairability, not the overall experience. I don't regret supporting Fairphone, vote with your wallet and all that, but I definitely recognise the device itself has issues and when looked at purely on specs and software quality, it isn't really worth the money.

I also loved racing games as a kid and my first purchase after I moved out was a g29 lmao.

I'd love to have a simrig and could probably afford one nowadays, but space is really big issue when living in an apartment. I don't really have a free corner to put it in like you.

I got excited about a sale on toilet paper. It was 50% off for 30 rolls of the really high quality one!

I think the bot broke

That plus being an ass in general I'd say. I'm 25, haven't ever gotten laid and struggle with loneliness all the time, but still don't think all women are sluts and are obligated to fuck me.

Not owned personally but my mom's '99 Fiat Punto I used to drive in high school was awful. 60 drunk donkeys under the hood, 0-60 of eventually, brakes that yanked it to the right if you were too aggressive on them and a battery that went flat in a few days if you didn't drive the car. It also had the tendency to just keep revving up when in neutral until you either put it in gear and engage the clutch or shut off the engine.

Anyway, I still have fond memories of that car. Going down mountain roads was fun because it was very slow, but super light, so you could just keep the throttle pinned for the most part and the rotted out muffler made it sound like a racecar lmao.

Probably Call of Juarez: The Cartel. I wanted to play the entire franchise back to back, but it wasn't being sold on Steam, so I had to hunt down a copy on some key reseller. Boy, do I see why it's not on sale anymore. runs like absolute shit, incredibly buggy, cheesy as hell and with some pretty questionable game design choices. Still, it was somewhat entertaining in a "so bad it's good" sense, and it ties into the previous games in a fairly interesting way, so I don't regret playing it. It was certainly an experience, but it's a very bad game by pretty much all metrics.

Driver San Francisco kinda. You spend most of the game in a coma, but you do wake up and do some real stuff for the ending.

Depending on your definition of nothing happens, Mad Max too. At the start of the game Max loses his car, meets this car fanatic and for the entire game he helps you build the "Magnum Opus", the most badass car the wasteland has seen. At the end, you lose your Magnum Opus, he gets killed, and you get your original car back. You have a big impact on other people throughout the story, but as far as the protagonist is concerned, he is pretty much exactly where he started.
