Thanks :) I haven't read much King or any Butcher so I'll check them out.

Yes, that is exactly what I want xD

Thanks for this info. I think a hardware mod and/or software coding for this would be beyond my understanding.

Something externally plug and play would be amazing, but I doubt such a product exists.

Ah, I would definitely struggle then! I guess my most realistic options would either be to take apart the Deck and replacing the existing motor with a stronger one, or hope that someone smarter than me has a similar idea and can code a driver

How difficult would it be create a driver like that? Would someone with virtually no coding experience have any chance?

Yes that's right. The default ones are extremely weak!

Thanks for sharing! Are you still an avid reader? Do you have a favourite book?

Hoi! :3

Basically any indies or games that have been ported to Switch, you're gonna get better performance on the Deck.

There are a few games like Okami which do neat things with the joycons and go on sale often enough that I can justify buying them on the Switch.

I still get the occasional Nintendo exclusive on my Switch for the sake of convenience. I'm too lazy to try and emulate TOTK on the Deck for example.

There's giftofgaming@lemmy.world

Yes I think you're right

I can't tell if this is art or vandalism

Thanks for the heads up with the downloads folder - that definitely would have caught me out.

+1 to both of these. The Red Rising series is great and the Count of Monte Cristo is a long but extremely satisfying tale of revenge.

This is a really difficult one for me. I do 100% agree that adult classics should remain as they are, and we should view these through the lens of historical context. Keeping those classics as they are allows us to analyse them and see how views have changed - sometimes we need to know how bad things were so we can learn from our mistakes. But I think it's also important that for young adults, these works should be studied in a classroom so there's someone there to explain the uncomfortable parts.

The difficulty comes with books aimed at very young audiences, like Roald Dahl novels. Kids may not always have the necessary support or understanding of the context. So I'm inclined to agree with Wilson here with regards to kids books, but it's a bit of a grey area for me.

*Her 2005 novel is pretty worrying though. As the other commenter mentioned, the subject matter was inappropriate even at the time. It doesn't sound like the book tackles the consequences of what happens either.

Ah yeah I understand what you mean. I guess that must have really changed the design philosophy - having an idea first, and then a game second. I admire what they created as it's a beautiful experience, but slightly lacking as a game. Almost as if the 'game' part was an afterthought.

I know you can turn up the VRAM to 4GB if you like. When I eventually give the modpack a try, I'll see how I get on with the default first.

I like the concept of these phones, but I think it's still a few years off being viable. Half the price and improve the battery, then I'll be interested.

Thank you, this is very insightful! I believe the Steam Deck has 1GB of VRAM assigned by default - would that be sufficient for most purposes?

Most guides for the Steam Deck seem to focus on installing Vortex. If I understand correctly, Vortex has it's own 'collections' (i.e. modpacks) whereas Wabbajack modlists are installed using the alternative program ModOrganizer2. Speaking of Wabbajack, I did find this specific guide for Linux/Steam Deck. The Dragonborn modpack in particular sounds interesting...

As another alternative, you can also install mods using the built in mod manager? I'm guessing that is a lot more limited.

Thanks for confirming it works! The video seems comprehensive :)

Is Vortex a mod loader? Edit: ah yeah I think I've got my head around it now. Check out my other comment for a link to set up ModOrganizer2 as an alternative
