I’ve been using Relay since 2013, before the official app existed. It is better than the official app in every way: it’s UI is cleaner, it’s quicker, it’s easier to follow comment threads and sort them, etc. Not to mention that there are no “sponsored” posts (ads) and banner apps every other post or comment…

How is the first party app better, exactly?

I understand that you don’t. But some of us do not mind these things and/or want them. Perhaps there is a compromise (e.g. an optional global ID if you opt in to the system)

All of the forums I’ve used didn’t focus on a single topic or subject. It was usually made up of people sharing a general interest, but there were always boards within each forum for either general discussion or more focused discussion on a particular topic like movies, games, art, philosophy, etc

What about the users of the third party apps?

He constantly has a secret service detail. He isn’t a flight risk because he can’t even try without being noticed.

I remember thinking that blindfolded Punch Out run a while back was amazing, but this is something else entirely. I can’t imagine the amount of hours put into learning something like this

It’s not bad. Even heavily modded, I get 60fps consistently on High settings, but not Ultra.

I was never a fan of controller interface for Skyrim, but it’s just so much more accessible on the Steam Deck since you can turn the touchpads into hotkey wheels, and use the back buttons to mode-shift so you get even more hotkeys.

Mostly modded Skyrim on my Deck (enchanted weapons build), but the majority of my time lately has been playing Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch.

I’m waiting to play BG3 until after it fully comes out. I don’t have a lot of free time as it is, and I’d rather not play through the first part of the game multiple times right now.
