Seems like I should give Junk-Store another shot I had installed it back when I was on beta branch and it was… funky. It had me sign in to Epic and then the frame / overlay wouldn’t go away, I had to force restart my Deck just to make it usable again.

I tried a few times here and there and ran into the same issue, so it’s just been sitting installed as a spooky button.

That’s what Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Google Workspace Starter, and Proton Mail Essentials are all priced at. Seems like the market price to me

I’ve had a Switch since it launched. For the most part, it collected dust - it saw use around certain major game releases and that’s it.

My Steam Deck has completely displaced my high end (well, for 2021) gaming PC - anything that doesn’t run well natively is easily streamed over the network from that PC. I can hang out in the living room watching TV with my partner.

The emulation capabilities have allowed me to conveniently tap back into my entire childhood of gaming, even extending into some titles that I had missed.

The biggest thing has been having access to the entire PC gaming content library. Sales, free Epic games, Amazon Prime Gaming - it’s all there. It’s a far better value proposition than the Switch.

Garry’s Mod

It’s hard to think of any one mod that got remotely close to changing a game the way GMod did for HL2/CS:S/source engine titles. I spent thousands of hours in GMod as a kid, it added infinite teplaya ility to the HL2 campaign, forums like Facepunch and PHWOnline became my second home. There was a ton of content to be loaded from there and FPSBanana, the thriving webcomic scene was truly special.

Absolutely love Shift 2. I feel like it really captured the intensity of Battlefield 3, but transposed to the Racing genre.

Recently revisited it on the Steam Deck and was worried that it wasn’t going to be as good as I remembered, and I’m pleased to say that it has remained every bit as amazing as it was.

Also makes me wonder what the hell simcade games have been doing the last 14 years. Nothing else really matches the sensation of speed and intensity that Shift 2 has. It’s also weird to me that the reactive helmet cam is not a staple in every single racing game.

Man, that really sucks. the art direction in each of the games he worked on was unlike anything else out there. He really brought something special to those projects.

A few things stand out to me in your screenshot.

It lists the GPU as consuming 0W, which is likely not true. Based on that, the power / current limit reason is probably inaccurate

Your temperatures are both well below TJ Max for those components, so I don’t see the Temp limit reason as valid either.

Your GPU utilization is at around 50%, but I also see your framerate at an even 144 - I would surmise that you have vsync enabled.

They are definitely faster than running in both games.

It is true that, in Oblivion, you could level up Athletics and Acrobatics to become faster than the horses.

They put a rover in Starfield last year

Elder Scrolls has had horses since Oblivion

Unfortunately, Fediverse apps still have a lot of UX issues compared to their mainstream alternatives. Those will need to be smoothed over for mainstream adoption to take root.

They’re attractive to the tech inclined who are comfortable working around what, to them, is minor clunkiness. Mainstream users have shorter attention spans and are more likely to move on when there’s friction.

Far as the meme is concerned, the only Fediverse equivalent is Loops which is still in closed beta.

I’ve always found Group B to be the most fun in sims. Knew it was banned on account of safe issues but I don’t think I realized just how bad things got before then

… second paragraph of the article:

In addition to the basic plans getting Copilot rolled in, there are now additional "Basic," "Personal Classic," and "Family Classic" tiers without Copilot and "other advanced features" added for users who do not use AI in their workflows

I’ve had the issue with the plug falling out, actually bonked my Deck’s screen and cracked the protector while I was fishing headphones out of a bag on a flight.

I use a cable with a 90 degree tip and found that, for the outlets that are on the seat, I can attach the cable to the tray arm with a Clove Hitch to help the plug stay put and catch it if it falls.

There’s a little ramp on at least one edge of the socket that lets you lift the CPU so that you can then take it out. It may even be on both sides.

Voyager is giving me an error when I try to attach a photo, but it’s visible in the thumbnail for this video

Whole thing is really quite dumb. The cat just walks towards / stares at the drone, it does not physically prevent it from landing - the operator just gets spooked and flies off.

Not to mention that this is an article about a video that links to another article about the video.

The whole West Coast does not have a separate minimum wage for waitstaff, so tips are on top of wages. Makes the whole “20% tip” culture feel a bit weird to me, but it’s still the norm.

Been to a few no-tip restaurants, cost of individual menu items was higher relative to comparable items at other restaurants. I feel like I remember the final bill being comparable to or lower than meal+tip elsewhere.

Food establishments I am familiar with see tips split/shared between front of house (servers, host, etc) and back of house (kitchen staff)

Fucking finally

You can always use the Windows 11 Upgrade assistant to force it

The OEM Steam Deck LCD screen is $65.

The OEM Steam Deck OLED Screen is $95, $145 for the version with the anti-glare etching.

$140 is totally reasonable for an aftermarket product like this.

It might not make sense for most to purchase and install as an upgrade on its own, but it’s the same workflow as a shell swap so the two upgrades can easily go hand in hand. For users with a broken screen, it also provides a repair option that is also an improvement.

Also, just want to point out that flashing a BIOS is a pretty trivial task, strikes me as a bit weird to list the mildest of inconveniences as a deterrent.

I don’t get the impression this is being presented to anyone as “a massive benefit over just buying an OLED model”, but it does cost ~$400 less and reduce waste.
