See, I thought it might have been my tablets being cheap things.

But messing around with that borrowed iPad (possibly a Pro, the person who lent me it was filthy rich and likes premium stuff) made me go “… This is like, a high quality laptop but worse in every way?”

The screen was drop-dead gorgeous, and it was clearly a powerful (if locked down, cuz Apple) device – but it felt like everything I tried to do on the device was in some major way a compromise to accomodate for a less-than-ideal form factor.

In my case it’s more that I get car/airsick very easily – So when I’m out and about, I won’t be watching media on a portable screen. At most listening to music or an audio-book.

And if I’m in like. A hotel. Most of them (at least here in my country) have SmartTVs that will accept broadcasting from my phone. :P

As for note-taking, I can see the appeal but refer to my comment about typing in a Tablet being uniquely awful.

I’ve been playing Enderal (a Skyrim total conversion) with some added QoL mods on my Deck

Got MO2 working with Enderal on wine by using this. The script (and MO2 itself) is a bit janky but it does function. The only thing I couldn’t get working was the nexus mods URL integration thingie, had to download mod packages and add them manually.

The game itself runs like a charm on the Deck (after setting up a control profile anyway).

But there is the catch that being a Total Conversion mod that is available on Steam… Enderal itself points steam to SKSE on launch. Don’t know how it’d work if your starting point is Vanilla Skyrim.

Tablets. I’ve owned 2 so far, plus fucked around with a third, fancier one that was borrowed from someone else (in case you care: a very old Samsung one, a Xiaomi model from the late 2010s, and a new-ish Apple iPad for the borrowed one).

They suck as smartphone replacements because they are too big.

They lack button inputs, so they suck as gaming devices or as computer replacements.

You can browse the web… But if you decide to type anything, the large size plus the touchscreen keyboard make for an awkward experience (in ways that it’s not on a smaller phone)

They have lit screens, so they suck as eReaders.

They’re sorta okay as like, personal screens for watching movies or whatever, but like, at that point just use a television??

They can make sorta good drawing tablets, the ones that are pen-compatible I mean… Because I mean, yeah. But the lack of a keyboard is a bummer with how I learned to draw with my other hand on Ctrl+Z, though that’s more a muscle memory issue than anything.

In general, every tablet I used felt like a less-good verion of a dozen other devices, yanno?

I thought it was because of our boi Lucifer

Snakes are ovoviviparous. This means they form an egg, but then hold the egg within themselves.

This is a form of live birth but it’s different from the viviparity of mammals in the sense that the egg isn’t connected to the mother’s body in any way. It’s just inside them.

It’s a boyband. They play tough in their marketing but anyone who likes them, likes them because they are cute.

The Internet Archive. Technically founded in '96, but didn’t come into its own until the mid aughts. It is an awe-inspiring thing that corporate greed has been trying to take from us.

Running from ac to AC like its cover in a warzone.

While I had some fun playing torchlight 2 with a friend back in the day, in reality I never got on with the entire genre (or its sibling the Looter-Shooter)

It’s like

Every video game is on some level a skinner box, but arpgs and lootershooters are the most transparent and cynical about it, idk. Well no, the SECOND most transparent and cynical about it, MMOs still take the cake.

Who put the kitten meme in a Japanese adult animation?

I guess this means I’ll finally get to actually play it

My playthrough on release got aborted midway through act 3 because I was using mods before official support and the constant updating and mod breaking eventually destroyed my savefile.

That they’re a condescending and unpleasant person.

Speaking metaphorically, just someone you are consorting with. Close friends or associates with strong ties.

Well hello there, sir. Are you also an aristocratic warlock with otherworldly bedfellows?
