Hopefully they won't get scalped as quickly as the console covers on the PlayStation side of things... although tbh I feel like those console wraps will probably be more of a pain to get to fit perfectly, ie 30+ min process with a hairdryer and multiple cuss words, so they might not be as in demand?

I've been going back to The Witcher 3 to play the DLCs.
I finished Hearts of Stone and started Blood and Wine. I really enjoyed the former, but the change of atmosphere and setting of the latter is simply something else and it feels like a new game with how much content there is!

Hey, wrt your second question, there are lenses made specifically for PS VR2, such as ones from HonsVR or VROptician.
I can personally recommend the former, they've been a godsend vs wearing my glasses and take very little effort to actually put into the headset and adjust. Plus, they're fairly cheap IMO, but VROptician isn't bad either tbh.
(FWIW I also have bifocals, but these lenses are specifically to correct nearsightedness)

Great collection! I'm really jealous of the colourful spines on Switch cases haha, where did you get those?

Yep, completely fair.
They mention:

How long will DeckHD support the custom BIOS firmware?
We plan to continue providing BIOS firmware support for the foreseeable future. We are also optimistic about having the opportunity to work together with Valve to release official BIOS which natively support the DeckHD screen.

Which sounds to me like they haven't reached out to Valve and there's pretty much no chance of that (EDIT: official BIOS support) ever happening.

It's the exact same size.

Yeah, I've learnt my lesson, haha, although I picked up a Pocket much for the same reason as you did (and OpenFPGA cores were barely getting talked about then, so I didn't have that many expectations in that regard) and my Super Nt has honestly been perfectly fine.

Cheers for the heads-up, I've been watching quite a few restoration videos on OG Xboxes and I've seen what those damned clock capacitors can do...
I'm actually leaning towards getting a 360, since it seems to have pretty good backwards compatibility, but most importantly (to me) the shmup catalogue is incredible on there.
Emulation is good enough, but my only PC is a Steam Deck, so that doesn't really cut it for Xbox and 360 atm.

Yeah, it's pretty clear the Dock is only made for 16:9 displays, unfortunately :/
I'm not extremely hopeful Analogue will patch in enough features/fixes to make it absolutely worth it, as they don't have a great track record with their "accessories" (the under-saturation of the DAC's Composite/S-Video output not being directly fixed after so many years does not make me hopeful tbh).

Really nice setup :) I've been looking at the OG Xbox from afar, as the Series X is my first Xbox, so I have much to catch up on, but I'm really happy with the - admittedly very incomplete - backwards compatibility so far.

How have you been liking the dock so far? I've been pretty hesitant to pull the trigger on it given its price (or rather given shipping and duties/taxes to add on top, hu).
(Also, interesting way to stand up the - I'm guessing modded? - OG Xbox vertically, haha)

I'm intrigued! Steam reviews seem to be pretty good, but highlight issues with PVP (even with very low ping) and a need for a large play area (which I don't have, ha), so we'll see.

If I already own the game on either platform, that's where I'll play it. I also don't emulate the Switch on Deck, as (and although) I have a modded V1 that I can OC and a Lite for portability's sake.
I especially prefer playing TATE Mode shmups on Switch with my Flip Grip, it's a game changer.
I also tend to favour physical games overall, so I might buy games on Switch more often than not (unless there are significant performance differences).

I'm in the same situation, the Deck has been my only PC for about as long as I've owned it (first batch, so about a year and a half now) and it's more than enough for my use case.
