  • He’s not facing two months. He’s facing 115 years to 155 years according to federal sentencing guidelines. Even if he’s only found guilty of one single count, he will do 20 years minimum.

    Certain groups of internet people have been saying he’s going to get away with this the entire time. And everything points to the opposite. And now his bail has been revoked, and the goal post is being moved.

    This dude is beyond fucked. It’s time to find someone else to talk about when it comes to the failures and special treatment related the justice department. Using him as an example of said failures really waters down that otherwise valid complaint.


  • First of all this isn’t politics. It’s a video game toy. And not sure why my question made you think I’m unable to read sales numbers. I literally asked you what number you’re referring to.

    Anyhow: 3 million is not impressive. Consoles sell millions a day. 3 million is a joke. The Nokia handheld console N Gage sold 3 million in the same amount of time.

    The Nokia N GAGE.

    This thing:

    A device that’s considered to be the ultimate butt of jokes in the gaming world. Second to only the Nintendo virtual boy.

    That said, sales don’t determine if a device is good or not. I’m sure the Steak Deck is absolutely wonderful. And I had it pre-order day one. I just don’t game as much lately so I couldn’t justify the purchase on release. Didn’t want to have a device sitting around; after not using my Valve Index I became more hesitant about buying more hardware.

    From your own source:

    “It is clear Steam Deck remains a niche portion of the PC gaming landscape,” commented James McWhirter, Senior Analyst covering Games at Omdia. “However, this is unlikely to deter Valve, which has plans beyond just selling hardware units.”

    The steak deck doesn’t need to be successful in sales to be a great product. It’s a PC with a different form factor. There’s no downside to it being unpopular as long as you enjoy it.

    Feels very Apollo like with things like slide to upvote and reply Doesn’t seem to be able to handle inline images and media (so you sometimes miss post information) Switching to new communities is not intuitive (you have to click the community name and type with the “Subscribed” toggle pane open) No guides on how Markdown works No message inbox Memmy

    Has an inbox (not something I’ve seen from the others) Has Apollo like slide interactions Easy to find and switch communities Text is a little too small Found a couple of visual bugs (obviously this is all very beta!) Liftoff

    Seems to show all the post information you could want (community it was posted too, which community that user is part of, etc) Feels a little bit like the official reddit app No Apollo like slide interactions Some interesting choices when trying to find communities (showing the full sidebar) Colours are a little constrasty A couple of UI bugs I don’t love the rounded corners on everything out of the box Thunder

    Pretty polished Slide interactions are great Nice Markdown editor Not found any graphical bugs Some UI elements (subbing / unsubbing from a community) aren’t always clear Written in flutter so may not give a true “native” experience
