They also locked out regular Linux desktop with the anti-cheat, very annoying

In case of a fix for the Deck, this would roll through to the Linux desktop too, right?

Playing FH4 too, trying to get all the playlist related achievements before it’s too late 😋

One thing I’ve noticed is that you can’t be signed in from two places, so if you decide to play on desktop after playing on the deck, you need to sign in again…

Bought Dicey Dungeons as a good one to play on Deck. I can run it with the TDP on the GPU set to 3w, which increases the battery lifespan impressively, while still running great! Plus the game itself lends itself well to the deck I’d say.

Ahh that’s the secret sauce, thanks!

Since it’s not included in the article, but it is in a linked one, here’s the ad:

(Hope it embeds)

Blue light filters can still be nice at night right? As the blue light can keep you awake.

I’ve played Yakuza 0 with Heroic on the Deck. The game ran well, no problems. Just had more issues with cloud sync between desktop and Deck (manually activate a sync), and achievements not working. Eventually got so fed up that I rebought the game on Steam to get those two working again…

But why? Microservices do have some good advantages in some scenarios

Interesting, learned something new from my silly comment!

All this text, yet nowhere its mentioned whether it runs Doom. Clearly the most important thing to run on any device

No more reddit on my phone to doomscroll. I do still check it occasionally on desktop, for some niche subreddits, but not really beyond that.

Only negative is that I added Instagram reels to my doomscrolling routine. I feel like reels are more brainrot than reddit was… Should definitely work on getting insta out of my routine!

Other than that no major changes from Lemmy i think.

First thing that comes to mind is Dance Monkey. Certainly doesn’t help how popular that song was. It’s mostly the way that it’s sang that irks me

Slowly getting through Lego Bricktales. Building on a flatscreen isn’t as satisfying as the real thing, but it’s a nice little game to play on Deck.

Zettlr is a great program, but to recommend it while bashing Obsidians table editing seems interesting. I’ve never used Obsidian so I can’t say how good their implementation is, but I know I’ve struggled alot with the Zettlr tables…

There has been an issue open on their GitHub for a while now for OneDrive support. Hope the dev manages to get around to it eventually

AppImages are definitely convient to use. However the two issues I have with them are that there’s no easy way to find them (eg flathub) and they’re not automatically integrated with the DE. Requiring a tool that manages AppImages to make it easier.

Then there’s Haskell where arguments to a function are given with spaces

Thanks for asking! They got back to me and said they’d “make an exception” for me. I now have a solid 150€ on my Steam wallet. Sooo, I’m still a happy Steam Deck owner!

I put in a request asking for them to reimburse the difference between original and sale price. It’s a long shot but hey why not y’know?
