  • Sure, I should have clarified not surprised by the power or the price.

    It makes sense that as more and more power becomes available, the price doesn’t necessarily have to increase.

    Computers (especially CPUs/GPUs/SOCs etc) are becoming more and more powerful all the time, and more and more efficient all the time. It doesn’t mean that the price of them has to rise.

    The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful doesn’t mean it should be more expensive than the most expensive version of the Steam Deck. The fact that it’s 6 times as powerful should be entirely expected, given the fact that it’s newer with a larger form factor (meaning that it may not be as limited in terms of heat etc)

    Hopefully this is a detailed enough comment to clearly explain my thoughts on this.














  • Now that it’s my birthday, I’ll tell the “drive by rat” story. I was eating lunch with my friends (there’s a pattern here) and we saw a giant rat run by while we were eating. A couple days later, we noticed a pest control vehicle while we were in class. There were always rumours that the school had rats, but that basically confirmed it for us.

    There was also a student and his girlfriend who pushed another student through a glass window and I got to see them being taken away in handcuffs also during lunch.

    I also made a time capsule with one of my friends during chemistry class because there was a broken desk where the wooden top of the desk would come off, so we wrote on some papers (I think we wrote something like “yeah yeah yeah GSL” etc because we were very into StarCraft at the time lol) and pushed them into the desk legs. I wonder if they are still there or if anyone found them lol

    Apparently I have a lot of stories from when I was in high school. lol


  • Back when I was in high school, a student a couple years before me bit off a bite of an apple and pretended that it was a grenade and threw it, but the apple hit an alarm bell, and then the fire alarm went off and the school had to be evacuated which resulting in them sending two firetrucks to clear the school. I don’t know if it was a coordinated move where he would throw it and his friend manually set off the alarm, or if the apple hitting the alarm bell damaged the alarm somehow which triggered the fire alarm to go off.

    I know, it doesn’t sound believable to me either, but I’ll never forget it because I saw it lol

    Also I was sitting eating lunch with one of my friends in high school, and someone randomly walked by and threw a piece of bread at me. None of us even knew that person or ever saw them before, but we referred to that event as “drive by bread”. There was also “drive by rat” but that’s a story for another day lmao
