Twitter’s response to a request for comment regarding its Boulder offices was an automatic email with a poop emoji. Twitter CEO Elon Musk tweeted in May that this is the new auto-response for press inquiries.

Wow!

You can press the power button on the Deck while in the middle of a game and it'll suspend. Pick it up hours/days later and hit the power button and it'll instantly resume your game. I don't believe the Ally can do that.

The one time IAP is now live $19.99 plus tax

The amount of time I'd spend in Sync for Reddit daily, this was a no brain purchase for me.

Absolutely LOVED the questionnaire aspect of okcupid. At one point I ran out of questions you could answer. Met some fantastic people using the app.

That's awesome of them! What's their best game? I'll buy a copy on Steam.

Still use my Pebble 2 SE and my Pebble Time. Still bummed they never came out with the Time 2.

Nice! Installed and purchased the ad free version immediately.

FYI replace "blacklist" with "deny list" and "whitelist" with "allow list".

Fortunately, Resident Evil 4 will support universal purchase. That means if you buy the game for your iPhone 15 Pro, but you also own an iPad and/or Mac that is equipped with an M1 chip or newer, you can play across all three of those devices without having to double dip.

Anyone know if it'll have cloud saves?

The confirmed pricing is:

Steam Deck 64 GB - Certified Refurbished: $319 / £279

Steam Deck 256 GB - Certified Refurbished: $419 / £369

Steam Deck 512 GB - Certified Refurbished: $519 / £459

The Steam Deck might be just the thing for your commute.

Never heard of BookWyrm. Excited to check it out! Thanks!

First I read about it

Been using PopOS for the last 2 years (ish) with zero issues. It's been a delight!

They still work. I use them for routing my voicemail to the Jolly Rodger Telephone Company.

Vudu, Amazon, and iTunes have renting capabilities.

BallisticNG is a great Wipeout clone

In a partially redacted 172-page complaint, the FTC alleges that Amazon implemented an algorithm “for the express purpose of deterring other online stores from offering lower prices.”

Any idea why it would be redacted?

Can't you just disconnect the TV from the internet to prevent it playing channels?

With the Steam Deck you can just hit the power button and it'll suspend immediately. Press the power button again and it'll resume your game immediately. I don't believe the Ally or any Windows devices has that instantaneously feature. Its been so awesome for quick game play sessions throughout the day around the house. Or when I've traveled.

It does and I use it all the time.

Have you played Limbo or Inside?

I'm a Criterion early subscriber and am still on their early subscriber yearly pricing. Get gift certificates a few times a year for their physical disk web store.

I knew about the Disney+ price hike and plan to add ads last year.

I was able to get Hulu (with ads) for $1.99/month for 12 months (then $7.99 per month) then add on Disney+ for $2.99/month during last year's Blacks Friday discount. Which was cheaper than just Disney+ by itself with ads.

Not sure what I'll do once I hit my head mark with Hulu.

I wish Jet Set Radio Future was able to work on the new Xbox.

Does anyone know if the R5 will fit in the Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard case?

Looks fun to play on my Steam Deck

Which model of the original Steam Deck did you have?

We Love Katamari

Just uninstalled the 3rd party Reddit app I have on my phone.
