I know it doesn’t help you at the moment, but at some point between June last year and last week they’ve updated the kickstand to include an extra little crossbar up at the top of the metal u shaped piece of metal that makes up the stand so that you need to lose both pins for it to fall off now. (I ordered one last year and ordered a replacement kit for a 2nd steam deck that I’ve gifted to my wife) And I’m liking the look of the new design.

I’ll see if I can take a photo later on and share it to explain as I suspect my words aren’t doing a great job.

Edit: here’s a quick photo I’ve taken to try to show the new crossbar thing in action.

Ah, thanks for correcting me there. I knew that EA were involved at some level and I didn’t think to research that part of the post I was replying to, so I stand corrected, but I think the main point I was making is still valid, that the team that initially developed the game weren’t behind this re-release.

The original was EA, this re-release is Aspyr, so as bad as EA are I’m not convinced that they’re to blame here.

Haha, that’s fair. I was being sincere.

I’d initially scrolled past thinking “I played this whilst I was still at Uni, why is anyone talking about it now?”

Now that I know this person’s focus is intentionally looking at older games I’m willing to go and give it a watch.

Thanks for that additional insight into this channel. This completely changes the way that I will now look at this content.

If the extra charger that covers with the official dock doesn’t work to you (fair enough since you mention that portability is key) I backed the jsaux case on Kickstarter and am quite happy with us: https://jsaux.com/products/omnicase-2-storage-docking-station?variant=43986713772252

I got the pro version, but there’s no reason that you can’t get the standard one and it came with a nice little travel pouch, but I don’t know if that covers with the ices you buy directly.

I was going to say that the big downside to that would be a lack of any kind of version control, but I guess if you need that you can always use git and just commit changes there and (optionally) push them to a repository somewhere.
