I used to, but now I’ll close a game if I’m in a good spot to close it, and don’t think I’ll want to play it again next time I wake the deck. Most of the time now I just pause the game and put the deck to sleep, one of the big selling points for me was being able to just pause and sleep whenever and come back later. Not all games feature a constant or frequent enough autosave, which can increase tension in some games (i.e. metro exodus on ranger hardcore, and metroid/resident evil needing a save station/typewriter) but makes small play sessions next to impossible, with the deck I don’t need to save and close the game or leave it paused and open sucking massive power on a desktop. I can just hit that little button and come back whenever I feel like it.

I’m a first time owner with the LE as of two days ago. It really is super well made, I’ve been chasing portable gaming like this for years, ever since I wished my 3ds could do more. This does it all for me. The customizable buttons, the compatibility with most PC games depending on how hard you try, good screen, decent battery, decent performance, good speakers, good form factor, made by valve. It can emulate the wii for like 8 hours, good luck making a portable wii that runs even half as long.

It’s been an hour, how has your experience been with out of the box setup and your first games with it?

double check your connections

what are you trying to burn on these CDs? Are you trying to make audio CDs? or data CDs? Honestly I’m not sure if it even matters because I’ve never burned optical media on linux before but I *do* know there is a difference between burning audio and burning data accessible to an operating system.

I mean technically bluetooth *is* 2.4GHz… but I digress. Sounds to me like it only supports wake from USB devices and not really that its a 2.4 adapter. Have you tried waking it using the dualsense with a wired connection to a powered dock? if it works could maybe just charge your dualsense from the dock when not in use, then hit a button while its still plugged in to wake the deck before unplugging the usb cable when you go to play.

the oled battery def no. But theoretically you might find a battery in the same size as lcd but with better chemistry for higher capacity. Battery tech evolves pretty quick, wouldn’t be surprised if you can get higher energy density, problem is finding one that’s the right shape.

“excluding limited edition” does this mean I can buy limited edition and a 512gb model? I wanted to get limited for myself and 512 as christmas gift for my bro. I got the limited edition ordered and thought “may as well try also getting 512”. By some christmas miracle it went through. Should I be worried that having both ordered will cancel one or the other because of the “1 model per person per week”? or is there an official source that LE is excluded from that? I’m mostly worried that the LE might get cancelled because it is estimated to ship later than the 512.
