Someone will make an app.

Apple has never had their own apps focus on supporting non-standard formats. This isn't anything unusual.

I've seen it. I want landscape like the old phones, though, personally. I can type well enough in portrait.

If you're actually expecting people to transition without asking for help on a regular basis, you don't know people.

You just made yourself their IT guy for life.

That's possible. I think it's more kid friendly than Skyrim though.

It's also mostly easy to ignore.

I'd pay way more than is intelligent for a phone case for my 13 Pro Max that slid a keyboard out. I'd even give up wireless charging, which I love and have mounts for in a bunch of places.

But if you can't reach it, I'm not sure what the point is, lol.

If you're open to dealing with emulation, both the new Zeldas pretty much fit the bill. There's combat but probably less than Skyrim.

Slime Rancher is one I enjoyed for a while that's definitely kid friendly. Supraland didn't really grab me, but in terms of being super tame and having varied stuff to explore it fits again.

If it specifically has to be houses/cities, none of those fit that well. But they have worlds that are varied and interesting.

When there was a giant Ralph made up of virus clone Ralphs destroying everything in sight.

Good thing we have the power of friends or whatever.

Sure it is.

Applications are obviously limited without developers having one, but the tooling is all there to interact with and modify your perception of objects in the real world. ARKit is already reasonably well tested with mobile. It's just more/better input and output.

The fact that the real world is passed as a low latency display doesn't make it not AR.

Placed in a spot that's straight up impossible to use while holding the device regardless of grip. Those keyboards are designed for the meat of your hand to be sitting right at the front bottom of the outside edge. They don't even sort of work with your hand several inches outside that. And they're equally impossible to awkwardly hold from underneath because the whole weight of the device is levered against you.

I don't think I've ever seen a device with more deranged ergonomics.

I don't know if he's correct on low power use cases, but the cooling is way more about the high power use cases.

The steam deck can chew through it's battery in ~2 hours or last something in the neighborhood of 8-10 depending what you run on it.

It's not "digital" when it literally kills people.

It's not Pokemon. It's not trying to be Pokemon.

People are comparing it to Pokemon because they wanted the company to expand the world to have games in different genres utilize the monster capturing and breeding mechanics. That's it.
