I get what you’re saying - some games aren’t fun on steam deck controls, or just run like a dog.

But, look at it differently - It’s a PC by virtue of the fact you only have to buy it once to use it in both. My 10 year old XPS laptop and my gaming desktop are very different classes of hardware as well, but they’ll both run Plants vs Zombies that I bought once.

I can’t say that about the stuff I bought on Switch and want to keep playing on Steam Deck.

Snakes? In my snake pit?

It’s more likely than you think.

Go ahead and explain open source to Sen. Bloodfeast. His response will most certainly contain the word “communism”.

They exist; they may have been super holistic before COVID, and they just latched on to the anti-vaxx mindset but maybe can’t stomach MAGA.

I know one who is a retired doctor. He writes medical exceptions for anti-vaxx rich folks in the area and manically chewed my ear for 20 min about hydroxychloroquine and the rest before gushing about RFK.

I agree with you, though. RFK’s going to be pulling from Camp Weirdos a lot more than Camp Give Us Our Fucking Rights Back this election.

We don’t; we’re just a surprised as you that things are suddenly back on the rails.

Another fetish of his.

I also have a no Samsung policy, because of their refrigerators.

What an awesome project - thanks for sharing the details!!

Unexpected Einhar. Nice.

I tried doing a TimeShift restore last week for another software issue, and nvidia drivers crapped the bed (again). Decided it was time to bite the bullet and swapped out my 1080 Ti with a 7700 XT. Did a clean install of Manjaro, and it was eerie how simple it was to get everything including Wayland to work. Should’ve done it two years ago.

Great article and explanation on why Proton and its components are such a game changer. Thanks for sharing!

Ironically, Nier Automata is only listed as “playable” on Steam Deck.

Command line stupidity, not Bad Dragon stupidity.

I just hated that Windows had become a privacy cesspit and I wasn’t afraid of breaking things in Linux. Also, I accept that sometimes you just have to format and reinstall your sins of stupidity away.

PS - You Lemmy bastards did get me into Star Trek though. Maybe it has begun…

I just picked it up to play casually on steam deck, and it’s fun; in the same vein as Animal Crossing with a 16 bit RPG style. Plenty of depth and homestead building. You are correct that it’s a huge time suck, but unlike AC, you don’t have FOMO of missing days/events when you don’t play. It’s been a great de-stress distraction when I’ve needed it most.

The point isn’t to cover it up (well). It’s a warning to others who might question those in power.

What this particular Vlad did to earn a defenestration - I have no idea. But no one else will try it anytime soon if they’re also susceptible to gravity-accelerated blunt force trauma.

Time to test out that 8 year old thermal paste!

Oh, I’d expect a British ship or two to hang out very near the Falklands for as long as he’s in power.

A heads up if you have a G-Sync monitor from that same era: it may not do variable rate with Freesync. I was ready to pull the trigger and upgrade my 1080 Ti to an AMD card when I caught that detail. So now I need to justify the cost of a new main monitor as well if I want to have smooth variable refresh. Good luck!

I’d love to know all of that. I just don’t ever trust a private corporation to safeguard my highly personal and unique DNA information from:

• a foreign scammer looking to make a buck
• my government looking to close a case
• a foreign government looking for kompromat
• a health care company looking for reasons to deny coverage.

It’s too easy for a company to skimp on staff and digital security and then say “we’re soooo sowwwy, have 3 months of identity fraud protection on us” if they find a breach.
