As far as I know, Kagi doesn't have their own index. They use a mix of google and brave's results (maybe some other search engines too?), and then sort their results to give "better" ordered results.

Forgot to read the pinned post my apologies for the redundant post

That was going to be my first suggestion, but I see you beat me to it.

That post hasn't been updated in some years though, so this post could be a worthwhile chance to discuss new resources that should be added.

have you tried uninstalling windows:)

Twitter is by far the larger platform, and small independent creators have to work to promote their game on every platform they can, if they want to succeed. The moral high ground of not using undesirable social media sites is nice, but isn't fair to people who are partially dependent on those platforms to make a living.

You can run games at 720p and upscale to 1080p. I'm assuming that's how people will want to run any of the more demanding games with this mod.

So there's a black handheld with a "steam" button on the left and a ". . ." button on the right, as well as a white version that doesn't have the steam specific buttons (so probably a windows version).

Interesting idea to sell both, and it will help them gauge whether there's a demand for Steam powered versions. I wonder if Valve will promote it at all, getting free steam advertising would be an easy way to convince manufacturers to offer SteamOS versions of their handhelds.

Unfortunate that it doesn't have trackpads though, the Lenovo Go was one of the only other handhelds to have a trackpad, and I hoped they would keep it.

I believe it has to do with availability of pre-existing screens. I don't think a startup can afford original deck exclusive OLED panels, these were probably mass produced for another device and are just being refitted for the Deck.

Also anybody know any casual games I can play randomly on public transit and don’t have to sit down and play. Things that I can just easily stop. (Something like balentro kinda way you can just stop whenever)

The beauty of the Steam Deck for me is that any non-online game can now be played in short sessions. I like a lot of jrpgs, but I've gotten stuck in cut scene/boss fight sequences that last 1+ hours without being able to save and stop. The Steam deck is amazing for games like this, because I can literally suspend at any point and then pick right back up where I left off. Being able to play a game without having to worry about running out of time or accidentally getting myself into a part of the game I can't stop has really freed me up to play a lot more games.

I'd love to see Monolith games come natively to other platforms, but they've absolutely flourished under Nintendo so far. They've been given a lot of creative freedom with their own games, and also have had a lot of success as a support studio on the Legend of Zelda games, Splatoon games, and a lot of the other major games.

They also have a reputation for being one of the better japanese developers to work for, with overtime not normally being allowed. They also seem to give their employees easy development deadlines, with games like Xenoblade 3 releasing several months early (because they finished it early), and Xenoblade 1 remake having extra content, because they finished it early and used the remaining development time to work on other parts of the game.

Cursing frequently seems like a sign of immaturity honestly.

Edit: to be clear, swearing in moderation is fine. But the only people I've known to swear excessively were always young, immature, or less than bright. I largely associate heavy swearing with kids and teenagers who swear excessively because they think it will make them see older.

Sorry, what game are you talking about?

Also for push to talk, are you wanting to use that inside a specific game or for discord or what?

It's pretty common, many immutable distros come with it pre installed as the primary way to install new software.

Thanks for sharing. Another valid option is Distrobox, which lets you permanently install Debian/Fedora/Arch/etc packages.

I'm not used to hearing good things about EA, but good for them.

It's an absolutely massive game, and has been in development for 17 years. They also were pretty upfront with the fact that there would be a price increase at launch. I'll also mention it's one of the rarer games where the devs opted out of any Steam DRM, so you can copy the game files and run them on any machine without needing Steam installed. I keep the game on a thumbdrive for playing on my work PC when I have downtime.

All in all I think the price is well deserved, and I hope they do really well.

I had one time a couple weeks ago where I was scheduling jobs on Monday, we were supposed to be rained out Tuesday, light/scattered showers Wednesday, and heavy rain Thursday.

Actual results was no rain Tuesday, absolute downpour on Wednesday, and sunny Thursday and Friday.

Yeah, I've long thought that weather forecasts are a perfect use case for AI. AI is great with complicated systems that are hard to model accurately but have lots of available data.

Current weather forecasts kinda suck. I try to schedule jobs around when it's going to rain, and have to frequently reschedule because rain forecasts aren't very accurate. I really hope we can see improvements.

I get what you're saying, but the sentence order definitely sounds like you needed to upgrade to 1TB of storage in order to play bigger games like Vampire Survivors.

They want access, they just don't want china to have access. Of course, when you add a backdoor it's best to assume everyone will use it sooner or later.

Nearly done with Metaphor ReFantizio, and also playing some Astalibra and FEAR.

I recently found out that FEAR won't run well on modern windows PCs, and installed it on my Deck to see if it ran better on linux. Turns out it runs fantastically, with the Deck able to outperform any windows machine. I intended to only test performance, but FEAR is one of my favorite shooters of all time and I quickly got suckered back in. So I guess I'm going to do a full playthrough now.
