  I don't think I have that one, but I have a bunch of them! They're my prized possessions and it's such a delight to hang them up every Christmas :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨why am I told that I'm a child on the internet?? I'm 20!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There's something about the way you type that comes across as juvenile. I think it's the lack of capitalization and grammatical errors. Are you not a native English speaker? That would definitely explain it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some common everyday examples of this phenomenon? (see body)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I can't believe nobody has said religion. All of it. Praying to god being a prime example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some common everyday examples of this phenomenon? (see body)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure they showed on Mythbusters that tapping the side of the can is actually much more effective. The reason is that bubbles form all around the edges (and top) of the can and they cause the massive bubbling up when the can opens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What moment from a video game made you cry?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ugh yeah, FF7 when Aeris is killed by Sephiroth. And the scene where Cloud carries her into the water... I was bawling. Afterwards I think I just sat there dumbfounded, staring at the empty spot in my party until after like 5 minutes I turned off the game cause I needed a break to mourn. I know the graphics don't really hold up these days, but it was all to real to me as a child and it was one of my first experiences with death even though it was just a video game character.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Point shop has a collection of new Deck startup movies, including ones themed for Elden Ring, Hades, Persona 5, and Vampire Survivors.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  If you weren't aware, Decky Loader is a pretty great Steam Deck plugin loader that's easy to install and has a store interface where you can easily download and install new plugins. Of course, it includes a plugin for easily changing the start up animation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uninstall Emudeck mGBA and Appimages in general?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this. AppImages are like executables on Windows, the entire program is contained in one file. If you type sudo find / -iname *.AppImage it will show you where all of the AppImage files on your system are and you can find the one you want to remove and delete it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨One click start VM, using Bazzite.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I ask why you'd want to run a VM on a Steam Deck? Is it possible to run games inside the VM?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Deck, nay Linux, is crying out for an official GeForce Now app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh! I had never heard of that. My mistake. Is that different than Moonlight/Sunshine game steaming? Does it stream from the internet like (the now defunct) Stadia rather than a local machine?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam Deck, nay Linux, is crying out for an official GeForce Now app⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What does GeForce NOW offer that isn't already on Linux? My drivers are updated automatically, and streaming through Moonlight/Sunshine is incredibly easy to setup. Okay, GeForce NOW can customize the settings of all of my games, but I've literally never used that feature because the settings they suggest are awful anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keyboard shortcut for accessing the Steam menu⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I didn't see the part about it being docked. I was just trying to help because I think a lot of people are scared to use the new features and the trackpads are actually amazing for games that require the precision of a mouse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keyboard shortcut for accessing the Steam menu⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You should consider trying setting the control scheme to "trackpad as mouse". Using the trackpad as a mouse feels very natural and similar to using a mouse and is much easier than using external devices imo. Just a thought in case you didn't know about that!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FPS gripe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh okay. Well if the game has aim assist, you should get the benefits of aim assist if you're using the joysticks as joysticks in the control scheme.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FPS gripe⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can change the controls to your liking. There are a few presets like: trackpad as mouse, standard controller using joysticks, etc. And you can just select the one that matches your desired experience as closely as possible and then tweak it even further.

  Also, there are tabs under the control selection screen to look at community control schemes and it will show how many collective hours are played under each scheme so you can be fairly well assured that it's a good control scheme before you try it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[News] EA expanding EA Anti-Cheat - bad news for Steam Deck / Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Companies need to stop with this shit already. Although, I suspect some of the push towards kernel level anti-cheat actually has more to do with governments pushing for backdoor access to everything. Operating Systems have mostly shut them down, so now they may be turning to anti-cheat systems to weasel their way in there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New way to play Rocket League?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  @burndown okay so I installed it using Heroic Games Launcher and used Proton-GE-latest as the proton version. No other tweaks necessary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New way to play Rocket League?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I've never played Rocket League, but I have it, I'll try installing it and see if I can figure it out. Generally if you're looking for help running games on Linux then ProtonDB or Lutris.net will usually have some useful information.
