I’ve finally loaded the Steam Deck for Bub!
I have a functioning 1TB Sandisk microSD, so in Bub’s Steam Deck it has gone!
It took me the better part of a day and a half to download all of his games to it, but I downloaded all of his games to it and I am finally done with that. I am glad to be done with that because that is the “big ticket” item that he’s going to be getting from me for his birthday, and I know that he’s just going to love it. I just need to learn to work the buttons a bit better since the way they are set up is not native to me, but I don’t think that will take me too terribly long. We’ve been playing Chrono Trigger together, and I may go back and do the quest that gets you the Crono doll because it frustrated me at the beginning of the game when I was playing it on the computer with a controller in hand. Maybe it will be easy enough on the Steam Deck that I can actually do it. Either way, I’m getting that Crono doll. We are taking Crono with us to the final fight…

As always, a lot of work gets done behind the scenes by devs (developers) to improve re-AOL’s stability and security, which directly translates to more people being able to enjoy using it, the chat rooms functioning better, Instant Messenges functioning better, the whole nine. One of the developers has been working hard on bringing us Slingo, though! In before a lot of the people reading this post go nuts, though: that’s the slots and bingo — portmanteau — that a lot of us who used this version, and subsequent versions, of America Online grew up playing because the only place that you could play it for the longest time… wait for it… was America Online. And man oh man, growing up did I love me some Slingo. I am going to love playing it again on re-AOL when Tommy brings it back for us. I savor the nostalgic experience of being able to play one of my favorite online games on something that I grew up with. You literally can not beat that, folks. Any of that.
