Literally viewing this thread while laying in bed with a FFXIV cutscene playing on my Deck right now.
It’s so cozy playing stuff on this thing, even when I have an extremely powerful gaming PC less than 5 feet away.
And when I go over to my girlfriend’s house, I just bring it with me, instead of having to lug a whole laptop over there and get it set up just to mess around with something casual that I wouldn’t wanna run on my phone.
If they want a third option, I usually recommend Brother, and even more I tend to recommend used/refurbished. We just don’t carry those in my store.
God, the amount of times I’ve had to explain the EcoTank vs HP math to customers in my store, and then STILL have them pick an HP is fucking baffling.
I use a metal straw with a silicon bendy bit on the end, and it’s not like I throw away the bendy part.
Assuming the price is exactly the same on both platforms (or even within like $10 if I’m not getting a Steam key from the GOG purchase), I’m buying from Steam every time. Mainly for the convenience of having it in my Steam library, so I can’t just flat out forget that I own the game already when I finally get around to playing whatever it was, because god knows I don’t immediately play straight through the vast majority of games I buy.
Mini Metro and Mini Motorways are pretty chill.
Both Katamari REROLL games.
Pretty much every Humongous Entertainment game.
DREDGE and WORLD OF HORROR if you want an exercise in slow-paced creepy bullshit tolerance.
Jet Set Radio is probably another solid choice, just for the music and aesthetic.
Beat Hazard for vibing to your music and some crazy flashy visuals. 2 has support for a bunch of major music streaming platforms, including YouTube.
Also like any porn game you can get down with.
Also Peglin, if you ever wanted Peggle but as a roguelite deckbuilder.
I do. The number one “complaint” people had with me pre-pandemic was that I should smile more. Not one fucking dumbass person has told me to do that when I have my mask on. That alone is enough reason for me to never take it off when I’m dealing with customers.
I am also still paranoid and I don’t trust the average person out there to be doing safe things.
Pay everyone in my building several years’ expected pay to quit all at once, except for one specific manager that everybody hates.
Mismanage something that I shouldn’t be messing with and die.
Literally the only annoyance I had with it initially was that I preferred my taskbar at the top of the screen, and you can’t move it, at least not without janky registry hacks, on Windows 11.
I’ve since gotten over it, because for me and the vast majority of people, it’s functionally identical in almost all cases.
The only other thing I can think of that’s still a rare annoyance is that sometimes, completely at random, Windows Explorer, if you’ve just left a window open in the background for a while, will just rip focus from whatever other thing you were doing.
Yes, they’re trying to shoehorn their copilot AI thing into the UX, but that was so easy to disable and forget that I refuse to call it a real problem, myself.
