Is your username a Slartybartfast reference?

Why yes it is! Douglas Adams was a wonderful writer.

I just listened to Hitchhikers Guide for the first time. And as narrated by Douglas Adams, which I didn't realize at the time is a super rare version. I'm sorry I didn't read it sooner.

You should just feel happy that you got to read it :)

It's been almost 2 years.

*edit: I don't mean to say the deck needs a refresh. Just stating that its been 18 months. Phones get refreshed every year but most people cycle every 2.

Damn, time flies, feels like it just came out

[–] Phanatik@kbin.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not sure what they're counting as the release date. For some people, it was a good 6 months after the first set of Decks were sent before they saw their own. By December, Valve had gotten through so many orders, they had surplus.

I still don't think this is an actual refresh, I think they just changed the wifi chip

[–] FARTYSHARTBLAST@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

What? No, it just released a few- Damn, I'm old.

because it is, a new model they said wouldn't come out until 2025 or later. these bullshit articles just take the most vague information and try sensationalise it as much as possible
