I'm extremely tired, but proud of myself. Nearly 13 hours straight of OG Dark Souls, some wonderful guests, and I really appreciate everyone who came by for my very special birthday stream. 🏳️⚧️
Big thanks to Gianni Matragrano, Thought Slime, John Romero, Lucky Bun, Mandalore, Civvie, and Pleasantly Twisted for keeping me company in the voice call while my brain turned to mush, it was extremely helpful and I couldn't have done it without you.
Also, TIL I introduced John Romero to Darkest Dungeon!? That's pretty god damn amazing.

God damn, here's a game I wish I'd gotten to sooner, it's god damn bloody terrific, and has me exclaiming "what the fuck? you little shit!" at weird nightmare monsters that eat my agents.
I refuse to discourse, so how about you ask me stuff about games, and I'll try my best to answer you? Serious questions ofc.
Good question!
No, because I tend to try and pace myself with roguelikes. It's generally a good idea to not play too many games of the same genre, pacing yourself avoids burning out.
I see a lot of criticism of the Steamdeck's specs, especially the 64GB storage on the base model, and I might say something controversial here, but... I think far too many people have bought into the myth of PC gamers being obsessed with the highest fidility and AAA performance.
The most popular by far is the 1060 at nearly 10%, with the 1050ti close behind. My own graphics card, the 3070 is just slightly more than 1%.
The vast, VAST majority of steam users are playing in 1080p. Far more people are using 1440p than 4k.
The idea of the PC gamer who is always spending on the latest hardware and needs everything to run 120fps 4k? They're absolutely mythologized, most PC gamers don't care. At all.
The Steam Deck is gonna be a bit of a gamechanger for PC gaming.
For the past few years, I've had a little PC gaming handheld, the GPD Win 2, and I ended up using that so much more than I ever expected to. The fact I could just play my steam games that would sync saves anywhere?
I still use it constantly. Absolutely, one hundred percent phenomenal piece of kit, I love it and honestly it's just one of the best purchases I've ever made. I genuinely mean it was a gamechanger, a little indie gaming monster!
Steam Cloud means I could be playing a game on my desktop, fire up my little GPD and continue my save on that anywhere, and then continue on my desktop again? I play on the little dealie while I'm in bed, at the couch, on the train... on the... porcelain throne if you wanted?
