With summer in particular my office/gaming room can become unbearable hot
Grabbing my deck and laying on the couch outside has been amazing
I also keep it docked on my tv and use it as a console and stream in home streaming for everything
If we’re lucky, Steamdeck verified will also mean it’ll run fine on linux.
And it would be great and would break Microsoft’s hold on the “desktop” for the average user.
These sorts of computers do already exist though. They’re called NUC’s. Valve could basically just take one fo those, use a custom APU from AMD again, and have their own full fledged console. Heck, the XBOX and PS5 is exactly that. A Custom AMD APU in a small box.
The point of the Deck versus anything else was that it was common x86 architecture and it runs skinned linux, thus letting us have access to virtually all our library.
Moving to ARM based silicon would massively change things in that regard. We don’t want yet another platform to have to worry about ports for. The Steam Deck is a PC and that’s it’s goal
I don’t want a Steam Deck 2. I want Steam Deck to live up to the upgradability and customizability that Valve had originally empasized for it.
It would be amazing to be able to just swap the main board for a GPU update. on the OG deck, it’s the single biggest bottleneck I run into. (for docked gaming on a big screen). Plus a better GPU would allow it to run cooler when only doing 720p and quieter on the fan.
but, Id on’t want to buy another Steam Deck :p
I made it through until Win11 announced (Had to because of work). Once 11 was announced I just said fuck it, and have been Linux since.
I no longer have any computers in my house running windows except a 10 year old Laptop that is available for the really weird and off windows requirements (like ESPHome programming)
ME:2 In my opinion is one of the greatest games ever published.
+Brat mode enabled
You would be amazed.
At work we provide popup notifications for a week when a users password is close to expiring
They still miss it and need to call helpdesk
Also completely irrelevant and doesn’t do what he thinks he’s doing
I’ve fully moved to Linux with a 3080ti. Only non functional feature is HDR but that’s mostly a Linux issue
I went with PopOs and have had a pretty smooth experience
No rooted phones for our App. No travel to specific locals and countries either. we hvae black lists of Regions of the world where you simply cannot login to your accounts due to overwhelming security concerns and lack of extrajudicial remediation should there be fraud.
probably just a flatpack issue. I don’t bother using flatpack at all and still have not ran into anything that truly needs it (From a gaming use at least)
Once I got the steam deck and saw basically all my games could run in linux, I made the change fully on my laptops and desktop computers.
There’s not a single windows left in my house.
I’m a former IT Manager and system admin. And I am so fucking frustrated and pissed at Microsoft’s bullshit that I want nothing to do with them, and nothing of theirs in my house.
I cannot believe I’m going to say this: But from and enterprise point of view, I Miss Balmer. Nadella is a fucking useless wannabe Steve Jobs tool who has zero concept of what made Microsoft what it is. There’s horror stories of dealing with Microsoft on a corporate level that attributed to me having a mental breakdown.
“Bad memory”. tpsh. That memory exceeded it’s mandate by 41 years. That memory is tired. it needed rest. It’s ready to collect it’s retirement pension.
Loved BG3. but it was the hit it was because it was done by people who love the D&D world and didn’t attempt to live up to any specific monetary goals, nor did it rush out to try and beat some arbitrary deadline. it was done in the old style of development, by a relatively small team over long periods of time to showcase their labour of love.
given the history of D&D the company itself and it’s more recent copyright monetization and attacking the playerbase for profit, I cannot see them pumping out other games that are anywhere CLOSE to what Larian produced.
Wee’re going to get a whole lot of bullshit shovelware trying to ride BG3’s excellence.
this is why we can’t have nice things :(
Well, not keen on being on an international criminal list for illegal exports of Cannabis products. I’m no Mark Emery (thats good).
But if you find yourself in the GTA, I would gladly take you to a pot shop and give you my recommendations.
no, but if you listened to the advertising by my local MP’s and Mayor, it destroyed the fabric of this country and the worst decision any government has done in Canadian history
They do. You can get capsules with properly dosed amounts of THC/CBD etc.
the problem is convincing the medical community in large that it’s a drug that has enough merit to be considered for larger amount of people. Right now, no insurance company will cover it. No Pharmacy stocks THC/CBD medication. And getting “medical” weed requires a lot of jumping through hoops that just aren’t worth it right now considering I can just go to the store and buy it retail anyways
I don’t do difficult games cause of physical issues. I tried Elden Ring and was very impressed, but ultimately it was unplayable for me even trying to go easy.
What do you recommend cheat wise? I’m running on Linux and I really don’t care about online.
