There were parts of RDR2 that I adored and parts I loathed. Riding around exploring, hunting, and discovering the environment was a joy. I put a ton of hours into the game just doing that.

The quests were a nightmare to me. Ride to location A to get the quest. Ride to location B to start the quest. Ride to location C as part of the quest and if you dare to wander off the exact route or try an innovative solution and you FAIL

Maybe I’m just cynical but literally nothing surprised me in the book.

Nut jobs with guns? Check.

Nut jobs feeding bears? Check.

Nut jobs accused of sex crimes against children? Check.

Nut jobs infighting about muh freedoms? Check.

Nut jobs surprised when leopards bears eat their faces? Check.

There’s a pretty interesting book about New Hampshire libertarians called “A Libertarian Walks into a Bear”. It’s about a libertarian utopia that was overrun by bears.

Where Wallace at, yo?

I tried a number of them but never found one that felt right. I went back to the stock Pixel launcher. It’s far from perfect but I’m getting too old to tinker on features I’m not using anymore. I use the same 4 or 5 apps every day so it wasn’t worth the time investment.

Fucking passive voice as per usual - “the woman was struck”, not “the pig shot her in the back.”

The Steam Deck only has a single USB-C port on it, so you would need the dock for USB-A ports. The good news is that the existing USB-C port is on the top of the Deck and the dock connects via a short cable. You can use the dock as a stand but it’s not required.

I heard from a “friend” that it runs very well on a Switch emulator on a Steam Deck. Some pre-rendered cutscenes are janky. It has a pretty cool system where you can take a screenshot that will pin to the map to indicate places you need to find back to once you unlock a new ability, and sometimes those don’t render right either. But otherwise, gameplay is flawless. Or so I’ve heard.
