A rather clever name, must say.
The Logitech G305 Lightspeed Wireless mouse is a great reasonably priced pick

What I can't figure out is how stagnant the budget wireless headset market is. It has been the case for like 3 years now that the Logitech G435 is the best (also the only) option at the given price range. It's as if the other brands don't even intend to compete in this sector, leading to the G435 occasionally having erratic price hikes; I got the better one G535 off Currys for 55 quid, no sale, just the regular price at the time. Then a couple years later I found the worse one G435 for 60 quid in the same retailer. Strange.

Thanks for clearing that up! ;)It honestly comes down to how you view these things, if you consider them as a work of art or as mass produced fastfood-tier entertainment.
No, seriously: Thanks both for your opinions!

Afterwards, you play Half-Life, then Half-Life 2.

Quoting: EikeLet me take this opportunity...First, you need to possess the ability to count.
What would be the best way to get into HL nowadays?
Afterwards, you play Half-Life, then Half-Life 2.
Quoting: EikeWould that be Black Mesa then?Absolutely not. Black Mesa is a terrible choice for a first time player. Playing Black Mesa ruins at least half of the experience of Half-Life 2 when you get to it, since it uses the same engine to remake the first game. It breaks the fundamental ways Half-Life and Half-Life 2 were meant to be played.

Is there any indication of this working differently than Waydroid when it comes to ARM-only APKs ? Currently on Waydroid, only x64 APKs work, ARM ones work only after installing an inadequate emulator.

Even as I write this, I still don't think I truly grasp the ramifications of this. How Valve is so ridiculously ahead of the entire industry including Microsoft, Apple and Google with making computing (and gaming) on ARM a thing.
I don't know how more popular these little ARM chips are going to be in the future, but thanks to the open source community and largely Valve, the platform just got a whole lot more viable now.
