I was considering something like this for work. One downside of this approach is that you'll be carrying more weight; with the NexDock it's going to be a 1.6-1.7kg affair for a 13.3" notebook.

Also if you're going to be doing photography, what software are you going to run on the Steam Deck?

6700XT is still a bit faster than the 7600, I think. Feel free to correct me on this.

Agree on the SSD, while a PCIe4 may not be needed, I'm sure there're plenty of better SSDs than the Intel for cheap at this point in time. The price drops have been pretty good across the board.

Might want to wait for the benchmark tests to come out first, if the build is for CS2. I remember CS is pretty CPU heavy, so you might want to hold off on your choice of platform first.

Edit: Also, do check with the PSU tier list, don't have to get A tier, but try something from B. A good PSU will help with the longevity of your build!

I know, that's why I don't begrudge them, but at the same time, I do feel a little weary on the inside when I see another interesting game that's pixel art. xD

I live in a rural area. The most I’ve ever had to wait was during a lunch rush one day. About 5 to 10 minutes or so.

And here I thought rural areas would have less vehicles (and people) so that wouldn't be a thing. Meanwhile I don't think I've ever had to wait more than 2 minutes, and I'm in a super dense city!

To you maybe. I don't remember the URL search strings of every search engine, so the method of adding a search engine via the page of the search itself is far easier.

Eh, I usually leave off a few screws on the side panels, makes it easier for future access. XD

Generally it's down to genre and mechanics. I obviously have my preferences so I'll always keep a lookout on those that interest me. As well as avoid those I don't.

I generally don't have a preference for art style (I appreciate a wide variety of them), though I confess, I am getting a little tired of pixel-art games.

Oh yea, fuel is expensive. It's like more than US$2 per litre now. If this online converter is right, that's more than US$7.60 per gallon.

Yea, it would, starting with alternate transport infrastructure, which is also not aided by city design. So yea, there is a ton of work.

Ah, I see, you're on "All", on the left tab. Hit the "Photo" and you should see it. They're really hiding the cheaper option now!

Because it's aimed at photographers who raised a huge stink in the first place (I was one of them).

You don't have to use it in the cloud too, all my camera photos are sitting in my drives, none of them have been uploaded to Adobe's servers.

PS and LR at this price is cheaper than the perpetual licenses if I upgraded every other cycle, so it's been cheaper for me. Of course there's still cheaper alternatives for PS now (Affinity Photo is really good), but since I still use LR a lot and the cost is bearable, I stay on it.
