I definitely want to eat this bar right now.

Luckily it actually turns itself back on on the way down, thus slowing the descent.

Now I wonder if I pronounce bus or Anubis incorrectly.

Is there even a botanical definition of vegetables?

Whoever is still signing exclusivity deals with Epic hasn't been paying attention.

Rowling striking again with her TERF views that only integrated GPUs matter.

They put a lot of work into the repacks to make them as small as possible. Generally compression algorithms are chosen with a balance between compression and cpu requirements. Repackers don't care about that. They make them as small as possible with every trick known to man.

And if the algorithm used can be decompressed with all available cores in parallel it's great as well.

There are probably tons of shows that were never translated to other languages. Most often happens with children's shows.

Like "Die Sendung mit der Maus" or "Löwenzahn". Two very popular children shows in Germany. They explained soooo much about the world, always in an approachable manner, never condescending. That's why they are still popular with adults.

The moderator of Löwenzahn said he usually found the topic for the next episode by just wanting to know about something himself. Like how a purification plant works, how a big ship enters a harbour, how glass is recycled.

More or less the same with Die Sendung mit der Maus. Through them I learned how holes form in cheese (farting bacteria), how batteries work or how money is printed.

Through all of that they show funny cartoons, stories or songs. Shaun the Sheep was a staple on Die Sendung mit der Maus for many years, might still be.

Proton is mostly a fork of Wine which has been used for decades to run Windows software on Linux. Valve didn't do all the hard work by themselves.

Yeah, Proton runs outside of Steam in Heroic and Lutris. That's basically what the umu project is about. I think it works in Bottles as well.

Almost everything Valve has done for Linux gaming is open source and will remain even if they go away and lock everything down tomorrow.

Isn't that what guesses are marked as? It would be a T so it makes sense.

When I scrolled past this earlier I thought it was maggots. i don't know if I should be more or less disgusted.

Damn, that looks like a Konami code. Did you play any Konami games? Maybe it had some key bindings for that and they got stuck for some reason.

There is a bugreport about this somewhere, I think the SteamOS github. Basically the charge limit doesn't work in standby. Maybe it's a hardware limitation of the LCD models. I have that as well.

I wish there was a blacklist in Sponsorblock. I mostly just need it for one channel, in others I don't mind as much.

In almost every game the gameplay tips and tutorials they give you are not only suboptimal but often outright counterproductive. This is especially bad in multiplayer games.

It was really nice in Doom Eternal, where they added quick swapping to the tips.

In the same vein, when the game starts immediately without giving you a chance to configure it. Because the default configuration is always wrong.

The Steam Deck is great in that regard. Just put it to sleep.

When there are several waterfalls in the game and not one has a secret behind it.
