We have a Steam Deck and I very much want to like it but it seems like every time I try to turn it on the act of just getting it to power up and let me log in is a multi hour process
You know what's funny to me is it's 2025 and there are still people who believe "Bluetooth" exists
There is no evidence for the existence of "Bluetooth" except for some blurry photographs, easily faked
@mcc other cats: >:3
Harold Bluetooth: >|3

@ChateauErin @mcc Well now I'm reminded of people joking about how people with Chinese characters as tattoos having the equivalent to someone having the word "Water" tattooed on their skin.

And thus, imagining that "Bluetooth" runes are actually "Watertooth".

@AT1ST @ChateauErin what if u were married to the sea. Wouldn't it be normal to get a tattoo of her
@mcc @ChateauErin That sounds like something a Viking might do.
@mcc
yeah. Bigfoot i'm ok with that, but Bluetooth.. `~8=B
@mcc ironically I’ve been trying to pair a variety of headphones with my phone for like at least an hour… I’m beginning to think you’re right
@mcc @guyjantic
If you stabilize that one video you can tell it's a guy wearing a dental crown.
@FritzAdalis @mcc
I can't see a context for this and am a little confused about what it refers to.
@guyjantic
It was a reference to that Bigfoot video where once it's stabilized you can see it's a guy in a suit.
@FritzAdalis Ah, yes. The 70s one? Love that.
@guyjantic
I think so. I keep thinking 'zapruder film' but I think that might have been a different one.

@FritzAdalis I, too, have a vague familiarity for "Zapruder film," but I, too, don't know.

Oh wait. Maybe the Zapruder film had something to do with the Kennedy assassination?

(DuckDuckGo is right there but now I'm feeling too proud to check)

@guyjantic
Yeah, Zapruder was the guy who filmed Kennedy.

Maybe the guy in the bigfoot suit was Elvis?

@FritzAdalis That's my new theory. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

Empirical evidence in support, by eminent Elvis Scholar Mojo Nixon:

@mcc Would you please... elaborate?
@Whovian9369 I don't know how I could be any more clear than I was

@mcc the weight feels wrong to me on these. I don't know. I bought mine, and my playdate as sort of a "pitty fuck" in so much as I want these to exist, and I want the companies making them to know I think that.

I just don't particularly enjoy using them.

@onelson @mcc Hard same, never really cared for my Switch either before my son took it to college. Just too many compromises. I've taken to try using it with my TV as a console replacement and it sort of works for that, but I'm still PC first for sure.
@mcc HOW DID THEY FUCK THE “EMPTY BATTERY” STATE UP SO HARD
@mcc I remember when this was a very common complaint from PS3 users who only played occasionally. If updates are frequent but not 100% streamlined, they break the end user experience for light usage.
@mcc I had a Steam Deck for a while, and it didn’t work for me for other reasons, but it never had power or login issues. Is it a really specific use case, or have you ruled out technical issues?
@Novyx it works for my wife but it doesn't work for me
@mcc Oh, weird. Well at least it isn’t a hardware bug, then. Good luck.
@mcc The Steam Deck is legitimately great, but it definitely is one of an increasing number of "needy" devices in my life that throws a fit if you haven't been giving it attention on a regular basis. Not quite as bad as my Quest headsets, but with the opportunity for more self-inflicted pain.
@mcc How so? That seems really wrong - mine doesn't behave that way at least, so that's really surprising.
