Steam Deck killers be like - Lemmy

Also funny how they keep adding shit no one needs that just makes battery life worse

Yes let me drop $700 on a handheld so I can play it plugged in on the couch

Remember Game Gear? Pepperidge farm remembers
I knew people with NiMh batteries for their RC cars\planes\boats, but the first time I ever saw NiMh AAs, was in a GameGear.
Man that shit sucked. I only had one set so drive for 15 minutes then charge it till tomorrow

Yes! I had three NiCd to every one NiMH, & the NiCd would all be flat within minutes; then I’d switch to the NiMH for some actual fun & within 30 minutes they’re all spent for the day. Sometimes I stripped the single-use flat cells out of used Polaroid film packs, for just a few minutes of superior power:weight ratio on my littlest RCs

Then there were the flashlights we’d use for hours but if you put the same cells in the GameGear, dead in no time.

LiPo cells were like a revelation…

Come to think of it, the PSP had an optical drive which was a battery hog too; I remember a friend being elated that I’d found an aftermarket pack with more mAh.
