Heard Moonlight is better but haven’t gotten around to it.

Comment on AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT reviews and launch in ~games
Nihilego LinkThis makes the 4070 Ti that I spent around $700 (Before taxes) look stupid, but I couldn’t guarantee either global availability or being competitive for the AMD cards so went with a bad value GPU...This makes the 4070 Ti that I spent around $700 (Before taxes) look stupid, but I couldn’t guarantee either global availability or being competitive for the AMD cards so went with a bad value GPU because it was the most “”reasonable”” for the price GPU I saw, GPU market has a chance for recovery with these cards.
Though this makes it more exciting what kind of upgrades for the price I’d see after 2 or 3 generations.

Recently(Think 7 years maybe) Etrian Odyssey has been up there, it got me somewhat more interested in Koshiro’s other works.
I enjoy listening to Outer Wilds since last year as well, but could be my fondness of the game doing the work.There is probably more but 3 things that are always on my mind when someone asks me that and a recent thing on it.

They’re 12.4 inches iirc.
Screen is less than 1080p but has that Surface aspect ratio.
Has a USB C and a USB A port, BT and Wifi, the battery should last for 4 hours. -

I tend to just download the DRM free copy and move it over to my SteamDeck though.
The store itself is kinda ass from my experience , I’m willing to put up with it but no way is it gonna replace Steam for me. Library aside, Steam never gave me issues and is more functional, while EGS seems to log me out after a while and put me once on a login loop.
That being said I haven’t bought a game on EGS yet, I tend to go for GOG if it is available in multiple stores, then Steam if it is cheaper due to regional pricing or availability, EGS is mainly when they have a free game that I’m interested in(or when I remember they give away free games). -
