My younger one (4) gets scared by Bowser and comes to me. I have to do the same stages over and over for him. But he’s getting better.

The older one (6 now) finished Super Hexagon (all stages) and Ori to 100% completion at the age of 4. He used to ask for help with the last stage of Super Hexagon… That was way beyond my abilities. Really need to get this kid onto Street Fighter to male use of these skills.

I haven’t tried yet. I think there are videos on YouTube showing Moonlight working well. Don’t know about other apps. I’ve installed Steam Link expecting that WiFi 6 should give a good streaming experience.

Works perfectly

AliExpress is really good and reliable now. I get plenty of stuff off there. Linus Tech Tips even recommends it as one of the best places to pick up a bargain on a desktop CPU. They give you a refund if items are undelivered. I look for items with plenty of pictures and detailed descriptions and picture reviews, and I’ve never been disappointed.

The other thing is that lots of deals end up being discussed on HotUKDeals.com and forum users will report back (e.g. cuing a Crucial NVME drive for £30 and posting speed tests and that it’s the real thing).

These plans for tariffs are going to affect Americans badly though. eBay is recommended in that case.

Pocketability is the biggest bonus for me. This doesn’t replace my Steam Deck, it supplements my gaming by making games available in situations where I can’t carry around a giant Deck.

The other issue is that my 4 yr old son has really gotten into gaming (Mario Odyssey) and takes the Deck off me a lot of the time 😄

You’re right, ergonomics aren’t great, but I’m fine with that because it prioritises portability. Better ergonomics can be added with the grip attachment. Although I have giant hands and I’m OK playing extended periods without grips.

Yes, Switch Emulation. The emulation app is called Sudachi (works better than Yuzu).

The stated purpose of the police is not “protect the rich from the poor”.

The stated purpose of war is not “to extract resources from that country and fund the industrial war machine”.

Many things are made for serving a purpose that’s not said out loud.

There’s no point? There is a point: To protect the rich and powerful. The patent system is serving its purpose here as intended by the people who have been making these rules.

I’m getting better at finding new ways to break my installation. Now I don’t mess with things and just use it as is. Might start messing with stuff on my laptop rather than PC so I can mess up there instead.

I don’t think the point of the meme is to explain the real intended message of the song here.

Sorry to bother you (2018)

It was good. A dark comedy about exploitation in capitalism and racism. Kinda crazy, but it was fun.

Behind the mask: the rise of Leslie Vernon (2006)

Also good. Another dark comedy. A slasher/killer movie…but from the perspective of the killer and the effort he puts into being a killer. Quite funny actually. Recommended.

Ever had to pull the trigger?

Wife approval factor

My wife won’t use it if she can’t see an app for it to click on to start using immediately. Going through browsers is not an option. Not having a dedicated app on the LG TV is not an option. Not being able to find something instantly means instant rejection. She refused Plex, but now sometimes uses it and has learnt to find subtitles, etc by herself.

I don’t touch my self hosted apps. If something doesn’t behave properly on the first attempt then it gets rejected from our household. It’s only for us enthusiast nerds to put up with kanky UI and setup issues for the sake of superior functionality. Normie’s won’t tolerate it.

It doesn’t get used or recommended enough.

You may think you’re new…but clearly you have the spirit of a Linux veteran.

Arch btw

😆

The Steam Deck was the reason I changed. Used the Deck as my only PC for a couple of months and liked the experience so I changed.

I’ve had OpenSUSE on my PC for over a year now and really like it… But I’ll be honest, the move and troubleshooting problems for setup was a pain in the ass. But it’s stable and steady since I’ve gotten over setup pains.

Flashbacks of playing Metal Gear Solid 2 at a time of frequent unexpected power cuts. Painful.
