    Yeah, don’t underestimate the Supra- series of games. I thought Supraland looked childish, but then I started playing it and couldn’t stop. It’s SO fun.

    The jokes are hit and miss, but the interconnected world, steady progression and cool mechanics make it stand out. And you can freely draw on the map to mark points of interest!

    There are currently 3 games out in the series, with 4th (Supraworld) being in the works.

    I liked the original Ori the most. I’ve played it so much that I’ve gotten all achievements, including the no-death and under 3 h ones.

    The definitive edition added the much needed teleports between wells, so that was a great upgrade.

    The sequel lost some of its charm imo. I didn’t like that Ori is now slashing with a sword; I preferred the original’s approach of Sein being the damage dealer.

    The final battle in 2nd game was a huge difficulty leap imo. Falling down was really not fun.

    I will be window shopping.

    I got my S23U a few months ago and couldn’t be happier. The battery life and performance of a Snapdragon chip is miles ahead of Exynos, which my region used to be sentenced to before.

    Now, there are rumors of Samsung going back to Exynos (or “Dream Chip”, as rumored) in the usual regions. Hopefully they stick to Snapdragon with the Ultras at least…

    With how great my Ultra is, and how little changes there will apparently be, and downgrades from 10x to 5x, I really see no issue in waiting 1-2 more years before starting to consider an upgrade. Any AI chip buzzwords don’t work on me - and even if they would, it would be one of the first generations of such, so waiting is even more advisable.

    I got my Deck around May, and yesterday I’ve finished 18th game this year, played exclusively on Valve’s handheld. 2 games last week, since it was a holiday break.

    I’ve finished Wall World + DLC, Spyro 1 (and started 2), Tunic, Contrast, A Short Hike, Cloudpunk, Assemble With Care, Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, Vampire Survivors, Webbed, The Last Campfire, and Sable. Replayed older games like Linelight, Expand, Scrapland, MDK 2, and Gift. Started Obra Dinn, Grim Fandango, Dome Keeper, Gunpoint, Ctrl Alt Ego, and Zelda BOTW.

    This device is such a delight. It plays overwhelming majority of titles out of the box, while older titles like Gift and MDK 2 only require a few minutes of tinkering to get right, plus maybe adjust the control scheme for gyro aiming the sniper mode in MDK.

    I wouldn’t get even close to this number of titles on a classic PC. My gaming computer is at the same desk where I work from home, creating this unpleasant mental image that I’m still “at work” when gaming - so having an external device that handles AAA games like Hogwarts Legacy with ease is a godsend.

    My desktop PC was down for two weeks due to fried motherboard. I connected the Deck via a simple JSAUX cable that has HDMI out and USB-C for charging, paired a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, and it worked perfectly as a replacement. I could play Soldat 2, design in Figma, and watch movies - because it’s a regular PC, just in an unusual form factor.

    I’m definitely getting a SD2 when it comes out in a few years.
