Came here to save everyone a click but you beat me to it

I'll add on to say the video is stuffed to the brim with ads, affiliate links and is generally exactly the kind of content I despise.

Literally a list of "here's an assortment of objects I found by searching "Steam Deck" in printables and shitting out a video to hopefully trick some kid in to clicking a link".

Absolute garbage

Hell yeah! Fresh new stick drift. Stoked!

For real. The Steam Deck and hall effect joysticks make the switch kind of pointless

Screw everyone else. That desk is sick.

It looks like it folds up to a little cabinet which I adore

Why?

The Bethesda that made good games is dead and gone. It's just several shareholders and Tom in a trench coat wearing its skin like a poncho hoping you won't notice the smell.

People are going to buy it. It's going to have "Mixed" reviews and support will be dropped by 2026. It's going to be a broken, buggy mess on release, break modding and be an overall weak experience.

Why buy it? It's gonna suck.

Possibly unpopular opinion: You shouldn't be allowed to refund Bethesda games. You should just be told that any reasonable person would know better than to buy a post Fallout 4 Bethesda game within a year of launch and you should not be covered under any refund policy.

Do you think they would willingly allow that to happen?

I view it from the opposite. Parents know best what their kids would want. Let the parents buy stuff for their kids.

However, this is a great excuse to pick up a craft or hobby that you enjoy and make something for the special people in your life.

I enjoy woodworking, so what I end up doing is getting some small bits of nice hardwoods. Oak, maple, what have you. I buy through the year and I'll make something like a cute notebook using two pieces of wood and some metal rings. Each one costs me only a few dollars. I spend some time in the workshop and you give someone something that's unique.

The point is, home made gifts will always be more special than random doodads and widgets.

I made a friend last year who makes cheese. You know what I'm getting for Christmas? A fat wheel of smoked cheese and I gotta say, I'll take that over whatever can be found on a store shelf.

If you're also a millennial, I think we all grew up with the mindset of "home made gifts are from poor people". But today I think it's the complete opposite. Anyone can hop on Temu, Amazon, Wish or any other sweatshop marketplace and get literally endless amount of plastic trash. But not everyone can make jar cakes or home made marshmallows, a nice loaf of fresh bread or even a jar of home made mead.

Find something you like and spread some good cheer. That's what it's all about. While my little wooden notebooks may go unused. A small thoughtful chochky that adorns a shelf still holds a lot of nice memories of Christmas last. While my future cheese won't make it to the new year (it's very good cheese) I'll never forget the best cheese I ever had... especially when I'm making orders for more!

Ah yes. The individual needs to feel guilty about their climate affects.

One billionaire who signed off on this piece of AI slop will have a greater affect on the climate in 90 minutes than I could ever try to achieve in my entire life.

Go to hell.

Such a unique and fun design is going to stand out in our collective culture. Kids are going to love this thing.

We spend about 90 Billion dollars on corporate welfare each year.

90 Billion.

Yeah but let's focus on the rounding errors.

The Department of Government Efficiency is going to increase the efficacy of giving taxpayer money to the ultra wealthy.

Okay...so...I don't understand how this ties back to community colleges being bad?

I mean. Good luck at real school I spose'

So you tested out of remedial math, but wanted to take it anyway. But it was full. Got it-tracking

So you checked later and slots opened up which is...normal? And you didn't take it?

And this is the fault of community colleges everywhere?

I don't get it.

I mean....that sounds like maybe a bad teacher. Not really a reflection of the school.
