After the Wii U fiasco I’d be shocked if they called it anything other than Switch 2.

Been using this mod. It’s scaled down textures and a few ini tweaks - appears to be with draw distance and lod. Seems to work well enough until patches come out.

Yeah, it’s super potato mode.

I saw this. For anyone wondering, the game has inis in the main folder that determine the graphical settings in-game. So “low” graphics settings are “low.ini”, for example. This mod replaces them with tweaked settings - low goes lower, ultra goes higher.

I tried the potato (aka the replacement for low.ini) settings on Steam Deck and they greatly improve frame-rate, but at the cost of resolution. It sets the resolution scale to 35%.

They had absolutely 1 thing to do:

Remake Saints Row 2.

And they continued to ignore what everyone wanted.

I’m just concerned about Grandma Shirley being able to play this. It won’t be the same without her commentary :(

I’ve heard this since 2008. No kidding. Search this topic on Google and you’ll find the exact same thing for more than 15 years lol.

Does the pro exist? I’ve seen so much conflicting information.

Please tell me that I’m not the only person who immediately thought of this when reading “droid”

Yeah, honestly cherry tomatoes are the only ones that I find have any kind of discernable flavor nowadays.

I swear, it seems like getting a decent tomato is impossible nowadays. They’re all refridgerated and horrible, completely bland.

I am someone who mods every console that I have. I even mod https://lemmy.world/c/linuxcracksupport here. But fiddling with the Deck can be very tedious and tiring. It’s like modding a game - you’ll spend hours getting it right, only for your will to play the game be gone.

I’ve even taken to not doing beta updates anymore on the Deck because the uncertainy that they cause just gets into my playtime. It somewhat ruins the concept of the Deck, which is ‘pick up for a few minutes and play’ in my mind.

It looks sick. I actually have no problem that it’s thicker if that means that the battery life is longer (although weight is a concern over thickness, of course). Lenovo hardware is hit and miss though (and I say this having used a Legion laptop for the past few years).

Also, Steam Deck will still remain king until the other companies can make a good track record of consistent software improvements which are needed on a device like this. I see all of these other clones - the Ally, the 50000 Aya devices - and I still am not tempted until I know that they will be supported long term. I really think that this support sets the tone for these devices - is this market going to be a ‘it’s a year old and already outdated so I’ll just buy a new one’ kind of thing? Or will it be ‘this is good for a quite a few years and I’m happy with my purchase and not immediately getting fomo’? I really hope it’s the latter.

Another thing is that, and maybe I’m misremembering, but didn’t Nintendo patent some part of the detachable controller design that scared companies from doing anything similar for a long time? I could have sworn that was happening for quite a while…

Shirt ripper!

I mean, it’s not a visual novel. It has action, cutscenes. I’d say 30fps is bare minimum for me.

The game is fun, but I would definitely not say that it runs great. It’s runs at a bare minimum 30fps with low/medium settings and dips below 30. The FSR implementation is awful and basically unusable - it blurs your character beyond recognition. I have to use the Deck’s frame limiter and FSR to get it to run decently. The game is not well optimized.

But as I said, the game is cool. Worth a play if you like rpgs.

Tbf this looks extremely close to Samsung’s layout but with an added widget and long buttons which are like Google’s, which I think waste space.

Normally, I’d agree with you. Samsung does put some stupid bloatware apps that you have to disable (which I understand is not the same as uninstalling). But in this case I think that Samsung’s quick settings are better than stock which looks like this. The amount of space wasted there is insane.

I’d love to see a video of it working. As far as I know, there is no way to do so. You cannot plan a trip that has public transportation and have it give you turn by turn walking directions to the pickup point, have it automatically turn off those turn by turn directions when you’re on the public transport, then automatically turn the turn by turn walking dirrections back on when you’re off the transport.

It simply shows you the overhead map and tells you to walk to the transportation. It does not allow you to see turn by turn directions to the location when you’ve got a mixed mode of transport (walking and pubic transport).
