Is the official dock not what you’re looking for? I’m not sure I know what you’re looking for.

Do you mean, 45 degrees the angle of the screen?

Maybe something like a Nintendo Switch or Wii U stand, there are ones that have adjustable backs

My favorite use of back buttons is in games where there’s long, pretty, treks of exploration. From Monster Hunter: World to Red Dead Redemption and more, I always set up a back binding to an auto-walk.

Press and hold to toggle, adjust the timing to something a little longer than normal, and revel in stoned pleasure at the sprawling landscapes while you pack another bowl without losing time towards your next destination. It’s awesome! If the game allows, you can set up sprinting this way too even for those pesky tap to run ones (looking at you RDR).

The press and hold to toggle is important because it allows me to keep the button bound to a roll, which is often nice for games like Monster Hunter where I can keep my fingers on important camera control and direction/attack inputs while keeping a getaway button available

Depending on the game, R1 and L1, and other times just the usual ABXY with some per game adjustments.

Good, we shouldn’t get one until there’s massive improvements all around. Give it 7 years

The Deckmate, super easy to play with portable batteries attached to the back.

In way way did valve stop supporting streaming? Did they mean in-home game, remote play, friend remote play?

I have mine set up in groups, per hard drive.

Documents is set up for projects. Downloads gets grouped every few months and turned into a backup downloads folder on the backup hard drive.

So it goes from C:/Downloads into H:/Backups/Downloads/Downloads-11-19-2024

Every other hard drive is mostly just games, so it’s set up by project and the Games with whichever launcher.

I don’t have many projects that go more than 6 folders deep, most would be 4 at most

The Deck is plugged into a hub with a monitor, m+kb, and a focusrite Scarlett solo, and Reaper is the DAW I use.

It’s pretty much just plug and play, I may have had to finnick with the software to get the focusrite going right away but it wasn’t much time at all, if any. Other than that, recording and editing as normal!

In regards to the beans -

Buy dried if you want to have beans for dinner tomorrow night, and begin preparing them with dinner tonight.

Buy canned if you need dinner tonight and don’t want to begin preparing tomorrow’s dinner in addition to tonight’s

And to the end user who doesn’t know what they’re doing, the end result is the same or the AI one will get them “further”.

I say this because if you’re following forums, chances are you’re following guides, which means you don’t understand what it is you’re doing. Which is fine, I typically don’t either, which is why I have a harder time with Linux.

But realistically, following the guide of Stackoverflow will hit a hiccup and you will be stuck. Following AI, things might not work and need to be troubleshooted, but it will continue answering questions until the two of you put together something that sort of works.

Not because of AI, but because the person kept trying. AI only made it so they didn’t need to understand.

Passion project “dev”.

Mechanics first. Placeholder template for what you need for visuals. There’re also free assets for that if you want to avoid your own altogether.

Sound is a set all on its own, so I would save that for the near-mid to near-end point (before finishing touches). That is to say, don’t think about it for a while.

Others have said, but take it like a cake. One piece at a time ;)

It’s really good. One of the only games where a pacifist run feels worth it, because the game design is done so well.

Play the game normally first though

No suggestion other than to listen to some Zorba!

Ah, I see apple has came out with a brand new device form factor never seen before. It must be the iDeck

Shaders mostly, gnocchi the rest of the time!

I use StArch, btw.

Color change, eh? Sounds like B+W makes displays more energy efficient, that should be significant!

Linux isn’t for you. Trust me, as someone who doesn’t really like using Linux all that much.

If you stick with it, pick one. Stick with it. Use its documentation, not online forums.

You can’t use online forums because CLI on how to do things varies from distro to distro. So a command for Ubuntu is useless somewhere else, most of the time.

That results in following guides and having it stop working part way through. You will never get anywhere like this. When you eventually do get somewhere, you’re going to take some time away, or you’re going to break something on accident. Then you’ll have to set it all up again and likely will have lost some data if you weren’t careful.

I built a server PC for Plex and a few other programs, after a number of years running various temporary projects, like Raspberry Pi servers I felt semi-confident. It was going for about 7 months and now it is stuck in a grub menu and if I am able to get into the desktop everything is fucked up anyway.

Tl;Dr, you are having issues because you went with the most complicated distros. Run some normal ones like Mint in Virtual Machines, get a feel for the process to install a program – 1) manually, 2) from the “Linux store” (package manager) 3) from GitHub.

Anything else is just asking for a frustration headache

I’ll never stop thanking Australia for that, because it forced Valve to put their policy world-wide which then forced the even shittier companies to do the same.

Well, most of them at least.

I’m sure.its a bit of that too, but I do feel like the ultimate reason is still, “well why are you taking time off to do something that isn’t only benefitting you?”

basically the same mindset that created this culture is what developed compensation for our time, as opposed to just taking the loss for the day to do a good thing.
