I had someone tell me “your hands are small, you’ll hate the steam deck! You’ll get hand cramps reaching for the thumb stick!” I’m glad I didn’t listen to them. This thing comes with me almost everywhere, but especially when I know I’ll have a wait. I just finished Cyberpunk 2077, playing only on my Steam deck and it was fantastic. I don’t have a gaming computer, just this thing (and a Nintendo switch, but I won that in a raffle), and it handles anything I’ve tried to play so far. I hope it sticks around for at least another 5 years, cause prices are crazy lol.

I’m kicking myself for not picking it up sooner, but I read there were a bunch of bugs that were squished in the 2.0 update, so maybe I would have felt differently about it if I got when it first came out.

Oh that’s awesome!! Steam has it on sale for $18! There goes more of my summer 😉

My wife took my Gameboy pocket solely to play Tetris on it. We’ll have to figure out a time share agreement when I want to replay Pokemon again lol

Cyberpunk 2077. I know it’s not as old as some of the other games here, but I totally ignored it. I usually suck at FPS and I thought this one would be no different, but oh my gosh, the cyberware stuff and the stealth takedowns, so so much fun. I really enjoyed the story, I thought V’s female VA (Ilia from RWBY!) did a fantastic job, as did Keanu Reeves. And now I see the DLC is on sale!

This is very off topic, but seeing the images associated with the article jogged my memory.

I watch a Youtube channel called “Hand Tool Rescue” and one of the things he was fixing was a sprinkler, and near the end he is tightening the spray part back on, holding it still with his two hands, and a third hand slowly moves into frame between his two other hands and tightens the spray part and I spit tea all over the floor.

I don’t know why it caught me so darn funny, but I laughed for like 10 minutes, it was awesome. Anyway, everyone should give him a watch, and plus, he’s Canadian so 👍

CEOs should be held liable for the products their company produces.

I run no script on both Firefox desktop and mobile. I’d much rather have to approve things to run, than have them run by default.

SteamOS on my steam deck. Bazzite on my laptop. And fedora on my home server that I’m still learning how to set up(I have immich running in a container, but that was just following an online tutorial. Still trying to understand docker better.)

That’s fair. I just hope mentioning and drawing more people to the platform helps (or provides incentive) for it to improve.and become a viable YouTube replacement. Or at least a supplement to something better than YouTube.

Peertube comes to mind.

Yeah! I got it free through Epic right when I switched to Kubuntu. It’s a fun game now that I’ve actually gotten to play it (just left the valley lol).

I mention in a few of my other posts, I have an older Asus Tuf gaming laptop with an Nvidia GTX 1050. I knew I had to download the proprietary drivers for the 1050, but I wasn’t sure which ones, so I think I initially downloaded the 535 drivers. Anyway, Sable launched okay (playing through Heroic), I was able to play until I got into the initial camp, then it crashed and never started up again. I was bummed.

But switching to Bazzite and downloading everything again, and it’s just working. I didnt change anything, didnt have to mess with any settings. It’s awesome!

Same here. Installed Kubuntu on my gaming laptop about 3 months ago. Last week switched to Bazzite (was having issues with a few games not running, Sable being one of them, and didnt feel like messing around with the settings any more). Really loving Bazzite and the fact that games are just working now with minimal to zero messing with various settings.

Thought it was called a Borgy?
