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.

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.

Obligatory Fuck Ron Johnson.

How this brainwormed shitbird won re-election in 2022 (when all other Wisconsin statewide elections went Dem) still baffles me.

Time to test out that 8 year old thermal paste!

What a spineless traitor to humanity.

Holy hell - I had a MAGA woman pontificate about this recently, going on and on about the “mob rule” of democracy. I know how our government works, Tamara, and I still don’t support your fourth reich aspirations.

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 feel you - she’s nuts and drove the clown car in 2020.

But would you rather have DJT and Ghouliani, or Sidney Powell in jail for the remainder of their gross unnatural lives? Direct testimony against the rest of them helps secure convictions.

The MAGAts will turn on her and make her freedom unpleasant regardless, just waiting for a tweet/truth/x/wtfever from dear leader.

It’s ain’t enough but it’s a start, after 7 years of waiting for consequences.
