A full install of Windows runs games fine. It doesn't last long though. Bazzite was not working well when I tried it a few weeks ago. There are a few things that don't work properly including no control over RGB settings.

I put the stripped down IoT version of Windows on mine. It doesn't have anything preinstalled. No store, no teams, no xbox, no nothing out of the box. Combine that with a basic telemetry disabling script and you can have better performance. The Armory Crate app handles all of the firmware and drivers. I'm able to stretch the battery almost an hour longer.

Windows actually can run kind of alright when you get rid of all of the bullshit. It's not going to be as efficient as Linux, and it's sure as hell not going to be as efficient as a Linux built around a specific set of hardware. It remains to be seen what kind of optimizations MS may introduce when they build a handheld.

I remember it being one of my favored chosen out of the plethora of random third party devices I had laying around. This was a step above Mad Catz for sure, but definitely still below the original controllers.

This is a Nyko Air Flow controller. I had one for the original Xbox. It was supposed to keep you from sweating during long sessions of gameplay, because it was ventilated and had a fan on the back. To be honest, I don't remember it being excellent at keeping you cool. I think the fan was pretty lousy, but it was a great gimmick none the less.

I had a lot of weird controllers back then. Some good, some bad. Most of them Mad Catz.

I wonder which Enterprise they would have used. I don't think any of them are appropriate for Janeway.

That being said, it's fun to speculate! Was the E blown up at that point? Was it too early for the Odyssey class?

It's nice to see Janeway in a new whip. The Voyager-A kind of looks like a Sovereign with an Intrepid deflector. Can't say that I mind the look though, I love arrowhead ships!

I like how part of Meer's logic is that he's basically inescapable in the franchise otherwise, since he voices so many NPCs as well as BroShep. He boils it down to listening to him some of the time or all of the time.

I just hope he can have a good night's sleep, is all.

He looks like he did before he was famous; just totally fucking burned out.

My Cousin Vinny is one of my favorite movies, I am sad I did not get the reference immediately :(

Utes (yoots). Short for utility vehicle, which is mostly anything with a bed.

They actually have modern El Caminos in Australia. They're called Utes!

Unfortunately Holden (Chevy) has stopped making them in favor of the Colorado, which is basically just a pickup.

I'd volunteer for this department any day of the week.

I want to live the dream. I want it to be true.

Please let me be well rested.
