You have said it all. Amen to all of this and:
Happy Birthday, Steam Deck!

Death Stranding was crazy. I really liked the setting, but i never found out how to battle the BTs, so i chose to abandon it. It ran without issues on the deck, though.

I have to link one of my all time favourites on the steam deck here:
Nova Drift [External Link]! Way over 100 hours for me.

Oh man, Next Fest... aint nobody got time for that.
Every evening, when its finally getting quieter, i look at all my games already, cannot decide what to play next and... go for a round of brotato and go to bed. Sigh.

Quoting: ArehandoroI wonder when will we start seeing crazy pricing for second hand devices in 2nd hand markets because of this.

Already happening. I see scalpers already, pricing just under 1000€ for a unit.
Take techdweebs latest video and see if you can get by with a pocket handheld instead. :D

I repeat a phrase of my late best friend peter: "This timeline was never intended to be used in an productive reality."

Now the last model (the 1TB OLED) is gone in germany, too. Scalpers already shifting gears to almost 1k. Sigh.
Anyone from germany remember the 1999s frequency auctions, where the mobile providers almost murdered themselves? Feels a bit like this.

Quoting: Jarmer... in that nobody has optical drives / players anymore. There just isn't demand for them.

I don't know, those MDISC Blu-Rays are my standard backup media for years. I cannot be trusted with anything else than WORMs (Write Once Read Many), because quite early i had to understand that i was the biggest thread to my data. I have deleted so many things in my life that a friend gave me the name "delet0r", which stuck...
Optical Media is quite easy, really. Its really nothing more than the optical version of a vinyl record, but with additional layers. Once a year i burn everything vital i have from my family (mostly pictures) on two MDISC Blurays and store them seperately. I really hope to keep those pictures safe for my kids, because i know how sad it is when you don´t have a lot to look at from your past.
As for entertainment, i've gone back to buying CDs and DVDs, actually. Sure, i rip the CDs for convenience, but for movie evenings, DVDs and BluRays are actually quite nice.

It is starting here, too. In Germany you just can get the 1TB OLED Model, the rest is sold out.
