I’ve been really wanting to get a steamdeck. I’ve been playing a lot on my modded switch, but there is a lot I want to play that is not available on the switch.

Does anyone have both systems and still use the switch?

I imagine I can just dump my games and emulate them on the Steamdeck.

I don’t do anything online, so I can’t imagine I’ll miss out on anything.

Im an experienced Linux gamer, so im not worried about the Linux side of things.

I played this game back when it released on Gamecube. I honestly have almost 0 memories of this game. I only kinda sorta remember a specific room or two and not even well enough to really explain them.

I am not sure why I do not remember it very well. I remember Majora's mask much better and I had only played that once at launch as well.

At this point, I have finished the first dungeon and it was pretty easy. I wonder if this game is just an easier game then modern zelda titles. Although, it seems like it is easier than Ocarina. At least so far.

The enemies feel meatier. Like, they take more damage and don't bounce around as easily. I am not enjoying it as much as I thought i would, but I am going to stick with it.

I kinda want to play through the 3d zelda games again. I keep trying Majora's mask and then putting it down before I even leave the starting town. I am playing on a PC, but I'd much rather use a steam deck to play as I do not often sit at my PC unless I am working.

Long story short, I have my wife’s old android to play around with Oppo F7.

I needed a second phone as I’m from country A and she is from country B and there are some apps that are region locked. I’m on iOS mainly and can’t figure out a way around the region lock.

I’m mainly using it for Disney plus and to manage our subscription, but I’d like to lock into the meta verse on it “Lemmy” and “mastodon”.

I’m also interested in a decent YouTube app. I’m using invidious on iOS, but the android speakers are louder.

I first got into trek with the 09 movie. It was a lot better than I expected and a good friend of mine is huge into Trek.

I decided to give the tv series a try. After being a little unsure what to watch I started with ENT. I figured it’s my first time watching trek and it’s their first time exploring and I liked that parallel. I’ve recently rewatched this series and liked it a whole lot more. This series is much better after having seen at least TNG, DS9 or VOY.

My watch order, not including new Trek was,

ENT > TNG > VOY > DS9 > TOS > TAS > PRO > TOS movies.

I watched all the other new trek stuff as it came out and watched the TNG movies a few months back.

By far, the TOS movies were the hardest to enjoy. The 2, 3, and 4 movies were decent, but 5 was really bad.

TOS series was also a little hard to get through. I could only watch a few episodes at a time. Unlike PRO which I watched in a day.

It’s hard to pick a beat or favorite series, but if you were going to watch one I think I’d easily recommend TNG. It’s such a great show and has such a great cast.

I’m loving all the new trek stuff as well. I’m really surprised at how good PRO was. And SNW has been a masterpiece.

I’m rewatching DS9 now and I’m at the start of season 3. Wow, this show has so many good episodes just one after another.

So the ending of Prod was basically the same as Pic. It’s a little annoying to basically see the same plot in two shows that aired like a year apart.

Did they ever comment on how similar the endings were?

Spoilers... I guess, but these shows are like 30 years old so...

I have been binging TAS. It is pretty good and its easily bingeable as the episodes get right to the point due to their short time.

I have noticed some themes in TAS that made their appearance in later series.

TAS Episode 2 "Yesteryear"

• Spock must go back in time to save himself. A very similar thing happened in DIS season 2.

TAS Episode 4 "The Lorelei Signal"

• Women captuer the men to drain them of their life force. I am pretty sure this exact plot occurred in Voyager.

TAS Episode 8 "The Magicks of Megus-tu"

• Humanity is put on trial for the crimes of its past by magical beings. Hmm... Where did I see that one before?

I am sure there were more that I noticed, but these are the ones that come to memory at the moment. What reoccurring themes have you noticed?

I just watched this episode the other night and Kirk seems to be annoyed with Sulu, then Spock is like 990.07 light years, not 1000 please be more accurate.

It felt off for those characters. But maybe it was just late when I watched itS. What do you think?

I teach English and I need the Reach Higher G4A level and higher. There used to be a store online, but they were banned. I guess they didn’t sell a legit copy of the book.

Can anyone recommend some places where I can search for them or even buy them? I’m not in the US.

I am trying to find a series of text books that can be used to teach English. I don't mind paying for them, but I can't find a way to purchase them in my country.

The series I am looking for is Reach Higher, I specifically need the Reach G4A level and higher.

If anyone has any advise on where/how to get/buy them, please send me a message.

OK, so I have been playing doom games since the dos days. I remember closing windows 3.1 to then launch doom.

I have played each of the doom games except for doom eternal as my life has become busier. I did not know it was not the switch and am surprised how well it runs. I have completed just the first 2 levels or so and it seems to run without any problems.

The controls are a bit difficult in handheld mode, but the gryo controls are nice when sniping.

When ports like this are made it demonstrates two things.

1. It is possible to optimize a game to run on lower end hardware. You really do not need 16gb of gpu ram to play a game if it is optimized or if lower graphical settings are offered. if Doom Eternal can work on the switch, then just about any game can if it is optimized and ported properly.

2. Graphics are nice, but they do not really matter that much. While playing, I never see myself wishing the graphics were better. It is just a run game with great music. I have never been a person to chase graphics and I do appreciate them in videos or shots. But when I am playing a game, I do not think I really notice high vs low quality for the most part. I am too immersed in the game to really think about it. Also in this game in particular, I am really way too busy running away from the brute type demon and the spiders.
