My biggest use case for the deck is to be able to keep playing the same games as I do on my main gaming PC when I go on vacation. This was really put to the test with Cyberpunk 2077 and it worked shockingly well.
That said… it’s definitely not ideal, and it’s generally relegated to similar games like you’re talking about. Peglin, Celeste, etc
I very intentionally received only an associate’s degree with the plan being to immediately get a job and start learning from there. It’s worked great. Except that was 20 years ago and now many jobs “require” a bachelor’s or otherwise have the nerve to say that 4 years of on the job experience is the same as 1 year of college.
In my experience, I’ve seen the same thing. The university time kick starts things. But university lessons are so different than real on the job work.
I’ve been counting calories for the last few months, and that was my big realization as well. I could have easily put down a single meal at a restaurant which is my entire (or more) daily intake now.
More than anything it’s just awareness.
Your situation is your own, but I was able to lease a phev for less than what I was paying for gas + maintenance on a car I had paid off. It may not be exactly what you want, but lease deals still come around occasionally.
Buying the individual albums is still an option. The benefit of renting through Spotify (or any similar service) is that it’s dramatically cheaper than owning the same amount of music.
Just move to Turkey. Start a new job. Find the love of your life. Get married. Have kids. Grow old together, and support your children as they age in to adulthood. Spend your golden years relaxing. Maybe visit some beaches.
Oh yeah, and I guess use your Turkish payment method at some point in there too. I’m guessing at some point in there you got like a credit card or something
At my office, you badge in to any of the side doors, but can walk right through the front door.
So it’s the same problem, but the opposite. Go to the office, don’t badge in, be productive all day. Badging in is not productivity.
I’m lucky enough to have multiple routes to my office.
During the times that taking the back roads is dramatically slower, I’ll go on the interstate. Holy hell my stress and anger levels rocket when doing that.
I went to college early 2000s. The textbook said something along the lines of “The fastest RAM is 100 MHz”.
DDR was still relatively new then. I took a clipping of an ad showing higher speeds, and he literally claimed I faked the printed ad …
Ah interesting. I too have instituted a flex time Friday.
So far my company hasn’t seemed to notice

I paid for it when it was bundled with Google Play Music. It felt like a great value.
Too bad they abandoned GPM.
Things have changed considerably since you were 19.
I’m younger than you but not by a lot. When I was 19 I moved in to a 1 bedroom apartment for (inflation adjusted) $700/month. That exact same apartment now rents for $1445/month.
A couple of years later I bought 1 acre of land and put an 1800 sq foot home on it for (inflation adjusted) $275k. That exact same house was sold in 2021 for $433k.
I’m choosing housing here because it’s easy, but I could just as easily pick college, general cost of living, etc…
My point being that you (and I) were set up a lot better to save for the future than the 19 year olds of today.
[Edit] guess I went on a bit of a sidetrack. I’m not sure you were even talking about today’s 19 year olds…
Completely agree. I had experiences in Alyx that were unique to any other game I’ve ever played. Things that are just not possible outside of VR.
The inconsistency in battery life with the 7 is still so weird to me. I have a non-pro, and have been getting 2 day battery life with light usage on wifi since day one. Even with heavy usage while traveling, it’s very difficult to need to charge during the day.
That’s in no way to discount your experience. Lots of people have said similar.
I’ve played somewhere around 1500 hours across multiple systems. There’s really nothing else quite like it.
