Functionally, you can do the same Steam Input customization on a $50 8bitdo that you can on this $100 controller.

Just no trackpads.

I wonder whose decision it was to make a bunch of former Titanfall 2 devs make yet another live service game.

Because that person probably put all of those TF2 devs out of a job.

Since I run in Game Mode, the reboot is pretty much baked into the update process.

Go to Settings. See update. Apply update. Reboot when it says it’s ready.

Aside from that, the PC just chills in Sleep when not being used.

My Bazzite PC lives in a cabinet under my living room TV, next to my PS5.

I put it to sleep when not in use, so I can wake it with my 8bitdo controller.

It’s basically a second gaming console.
