And you can add the ps5 pro to that list now

Another big problem imo is also that you effectively lose ownership of your games. Inevitably, servers would be shut down and you wouldn’t be able to download the games that you own. And that’s if things go well. Some games could always just go away earlier as we’ve seen on other platforms. However, if you own the disk, then that’s that, you can play the game forever.

On steam, the same problem could technically happen, but I trust Steam significantly more. It’s very much in their best interest to keep growing their library of games and not stop supporting them. I still have games from 10+ years ago on it and I expect to keep them 10+ years from now.

It’s def a blu-ray player. In fact it’s not just that, it’s a 4k blu-ray player.

So, Bluesky?

But it’ll also allow you to just carry 2 batteries and swap if needed. Even if you don’t want to do that, when your battery ages enough that you can’t at all go through a typical day, you can easily change it out yourself to a fresh one to refresh your phone.

You can get an add-on for the genesis mini that adds this: https://www.play-asia.com/mega-drive-mini-tower/13/70crmd?srsltid=AfmBOoqh0S4UQSdFVd2A8NocnB1SHu7dy_r9C0IkuuYy_W-ajJAOhooY

It’s not functional though.

I feel like the real problem isn’t Lithium-Ion batteries, but specifically non-removable Li-ion batteries. With some devices, non-removable isn’t as huge of a deal, but with other items such as headphones, mice, and gamepads, I’d rather have AA batteries than non-removable Li-ion. In the event that a battery dies while using the device, having to tether yourself sucks. Whereas taking 2 seconds to swap the battery is simple and quick.

Now, the best of both worlds is just a removable Li-Ion battery. That way you can charge overnight, and just swap to another battery when it unexpectedly dies. My headset does that and I love it. Similarly, I used to have that with my LG G4 and it was amazing. This combo yields the best convenience and is best for the environment as you don’t need to recycle as many batteries or replace the whole product when the non-removable battery starts dying too quickly.

I love using 65% boards. Main reason being that I get more desk space, more space for my mouse, more ergonomic as my mouse hand doesn’t have to be as far to the right (this is particularly better for gaming), it’s easier to travel with if the need arises, and I just think they look neat.

This had a lot of useful information!
