I'm a pretty big fan on 8bitdo. I have several wired and wireless pads from them. Something about it just clicks for me, and their new translucent models are just awesome.

I've been on the edge of buying a mechanical keyboard for months, ya know, doing the dance of having one or three in cart, ready to go. But this actually made me pull the trigger and do the pre order. A sin in gaming I know, but this is so fucking cool from a brand thats been consistently quality for me, its a no brainer.

I wanted something with Bluetooth, dongle, and wired USB C. Check.

I wanted a volume knob. Make or break feature for me. I just like the tactile feeling of a knob, so check.

Also it comes with one of the big dual button macro button controllers! Neat!

Kinda reads shilly. Im just excited.

Has anyone used a Retroid Pocket Flip? What are the ergonomics like? (kbin.social)
 

I saw in some reviews that the screen only tips back about 140 degrees and not full 180. Is it comfortable to use?

Edited.

I think thats a good plan, especially while the sizes of the community is still smaller and more manageable.

I really like your comment that thousands of hands can make light work of many things. I realize that's where my position on the mayter was; Were aware of so many infrastructure problems going on and systems failing and we continue to react instead of stop the problem at it source to stop it from escalating.

If we don't upgrade our electrical grid to account for more AC load that WILL increase with climate change were in for a very bad time littered with preventable deaths.

Quick Wikipedia Summary:

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a voluntary government work relief program that ran from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men ages 18–25 and eventually expanded to ages 17–28.[1] The CCC was a major part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal that supplied manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state, and local governments. The CCC was designed to supply jobs for young men and to relieve families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression in the United States.

In the US, we have many infrastructure programs falling to the wayside such as old and failing city water systems, electrical service, and outdated public transit.

I understand the maasive ammounts of money and coordination has to go into a project like this. But to me, introducing a program like the defunct CCC would allow struggling Americans to have a steady path of employment throughout the nation. More money in the workers pockets, less unemployment, and an improved society afterwards. This to me seems like a win win win, what am I missimg here?

What is everyone getting this Steam sale? in c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

Slashers Keep, Lego Builder (the puzzle one), and some indie VR titles. I'm really tempted to get Sparky the Electric Jester 3, it looks so cute!

Has anyone played Void Bastards? What's your elevator pitch on why I should (or not) play it?

Asus Zenfone 10 review: The best small smartphone gets even better in c/android@lemmy.world

I noticed that, seems neat to give us the option to be stubborn!

Asus Zenfone 10 review: The best small smartphone gets even better (www.xda-developers.com)
 

From the few reviews I've quickly scanned, this phone seems to be the dream device for those who want a compact phone. The major complaints I've heard mainly revolve around the camera being subpar or just a bit basic.

Personally speaking, I've gotten consistently good shots from a Zenfone 9, and the video stabilization on that device was amazing. In my opinion, if this is just positively iterating on the previous year, the camera should be suitable for your average consumer. Maybe not the "pro tool" they seem to be touting it as, but I'm more personally hoping for a more robust video recording focus.

What are your thoughts? Will you utilize the 16gb of RAM 👀? (on the 16/512gb model for confusion)

also, it has a headphone jack 🙏❤️

This one is a hard one, but so many of my favorite podcast subreddits aren't available here for sending in memes and OC. Miss those communities.
