I was looking into setting up Matrix with all the bridges I need (Discord, Telegram, iMessage, SMS) but wasn't quite sure how to proceed. Since I got onto Beeper, the configuration has been pretty simple, and was pleasantly surprised I didn't need my Mac Mini constantly running to get iMessage working.
I really enjoy my 8Bitdo Pro 2. I think that's one of the best controllers for $40-$45. I also have the SN30 Pro that I keep in my bag along with a small USB-C hub so my friends and I can play party games at their house. If you're willing to look at the $80 range, the Ultimate Pro is a really nice controller. You want to make sure you check what it's compatible with, though I can confirm it works on with the Steam Deck as long as the dongle is plugged in.
Praise be the Vita. It's name means life and so it will live in our hearts forever.
While I'm no completionist, it takes me a LONG time for me to finish games. Whether it be because I bounce between multiple games (Street Fighter 6 and Tears of the Kingdom currently), I do nearly everything in a game, or I set a stupid challenge for myself. I like to kneecap myself for no discernible reason in video games and TTRPGs. I'm attempting a 4 (but might be 3 soon) heart run in Tears of the Kingdom on my first run through. Why? Shrug
