Thanks! It’ll be a late Father’s Day present but I’m sure he’ll enjoy playing games on it again.

Speaking of PSP’s, do you have any recommendation on batteries for the 2000 series? Mine surprisingly still works, but my dad’s exploded years ago.

With budget pre builts, you’re usually sacrificing performance to an extent of cheap power supplys (that can blow up) and a tier or two lesser graphics unit for the same price as you would building it yourself.

Honestly, if you’re happy with the performance the steam deck provides then you should stick with that long enough to either realize your need for a purpose built desktop, or put it in a gen 2 steam deck down the road.

It should say that somewhere in the ad (in the US) or the garage/unconditioned space is omitted entirely even if it is a 24x24 or something. It might get a separate mention though depending on who is selling.

It’s bonkers, but it varies regionally in the US on how a garage space is treated. Midwest? You park a car in there out of the snow/elements. Southeast? It’s for all the junk you don’t want in the house.

I think I still have copies of GMR around here…….from my nostalgic memory I thought they were the better publication.

This is exactly what happened with the motherboard fiasco last time. Spoiler, nothing changed.

I launched Arkham Asylum on steam earlier this week and it recommended a 9800GTX lmao.

1GB ram, 2GB if you were running Vista.

I spent sooooooooo much time on StarCraft and Diablo II. First video game I remember playing was Wolfenstein 3D, then Duke Nukem. Found RTS soon after.

Yikes the more you read down the article the more of a hole Bungie seems to dig.

The games shouldn’t be designed with upscalers to be used to hit desired performance. We’re already seeing it with UE5 (Remnant 2) where performance without upscaling is abysmal.

If they go this route, the hardware will age incredibly quick. It’s not sustainable, especially since DLSS is tied to hardware. It would be better if FSR were implemented since it can run on anything, but the main point is that games should not require upscale tech to hit minimum performance. That leaves zero room for improvement over the life of the product and gives the user less reasons to adopt it.

My opinion though. I thought Nintendo handled the switch great for what it was. I have high hopes for the switch 2 regardless.

18650 isn’t a specific type of battery, but a size. 18mm diameter, 65mm length, and 0 typically represents it being cylindrical in shape. 18+65+0

Heres a quick read
