- Comment on Rebootless updates come to Windows 11 Enterprise and 365 for security updates — Microsoft releases hotpatching for Windows 11 Enterprise 24H2 and Windows 365 Preview Editions 8 hours ago:
Rebootless updates coming to windows? They’re already decades behind Linux, so good for them, I guess, for implementing something solved a long time ago by a competitor far, far away.
Doesn’t effect me since I wouldn’t dream of using their win11 spyware OS for longer than absolutely necessary, but for those using Enterprise because your work absolutely hates everything, good for them.
- Comment on Do you use your Deck for non-gaming purposes? If so, what do you use it for? 2 days ago:
Closest I’ve come is accessing the browser on desktop mode to transfer files (pretty much just games or files for games) and soon I hope to add custom boot videos. Otherwise, it’s just a game player/emulator player for me.
Random question, but does anyone know a way to make it so only custom boot videos play when you select random or have we not gotten that far yet?
- Comment on Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them 1 week ago:
I currently don’t have a spare device or whatever is needed to set up a server, but definitely agree with your point. Best I can do right now is having my shows/movies stored on a 1TB drive that’s almost full and a 2TB drive I have yet to touch, which just works for me.
- Comment on Netflix used to not have ads, now it’s ‘celebrating’ two years with them 1 week ago:
I feel old for remembering a time when they advertised their service on wii some time after they stopped doing trade in DVDs, which my family was a part of. Back when I’d have the wii set up in my bedroom just to watch my favorite cartoons or the (to me) once new and mysterious Doctor Who (before eventually dropping due to lack of interest). Back when they were pretty much the only streaming service and had just about everything. Back before everything became siloed away into 500 different services that all add up to the price of healthy organs on the black market.
Now you’d be lucky to see me on their platform regardless of whether or not my family has the ad free plan or not (no idea if we do, nor do I care). Let alone any of the other services.
- Comment on Luanti (formerly Minetest) v5.10.0 out now bringing UI updates, fancier shaders, renaming work 1 week ago:
I also tried at one point, but gave up because I couldn’t get the set up I had made for it to work. This was maybe less than a month ago. I hope for gamepad support in the future so that I can finally have voxelibre (formerly mineclone2) on deck without fiddling with the controller settings at all.
- Comment on Microsoft stealthily installs Windows 10 update to nag you to upgrade to Windows 11 – and not for the first time 1 week ago:
That, or if you’re like me, I’m just gonna keep my desktop running win10 and just never let it connect to the Internet by disabling or removing the wifi card so it can’t auto install 11. Gonna probably be upgrading soon anyways, so no need to worry.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - November 2024 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t been playing much on it since I haven’t felt like playing because college, but the last few times I have, I was busy dragging myself to play Fallout New Vegas to some day finally complete a run for the first time in any fallout game. Otherwise, I don’t think I’ve played any other games.

Unrelated, but I just figured out what FTFY means thanks to your comment.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - October 2024 1 month ago:
Shotgun King is definitely a fun game. The worst part about it is how I’ve played enough to where I’m stuck on one of the higher difficulties and and bored of it.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games are you playing on your deck? - October 2024 1 month ago:
Haven’t been playing it much recently, but I’ve gotten to a point in Pokemon Unbreakable Ties where I’m stubbornly bashing my head against a wall to win a battle, so that’s off the table for a while.
And the only other games I’ve actually played recently are Yooka-Laylee (only 2 levels in due to exploration and a lot of goofing around), Baba Is You, and Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers. But I’ve only been playing a little bit since I’ve been busy enough.
- Comment on Steam players no longer require a Microsoft Account to play multiplayer 1 month ago:
Sometimes I wish Steam would just change their policies to force all games on Steam to make it so any content that requires a 3rd party account would still work if you decide to just use your Steam account. Last time I checked, the MMORPG Dofus didn’t require you to use an Ankama account on the Steam version (unless that’s changed), so why can’t others take that as the cream of the crop example of what to do?
- Comment on LCD Steam Decks on sale. 64GB LCD (15% off - $296.65) and LCD 512GB LCD (25% off - $336.75) 2 months ago:
Either that, or they got enough refurbished ones to sell. Either way, a great device either LCD or OLED.
- Comment on [Discussion] What games have you been playing on your deck? - September 2024 2 months ago:
Mostly only 2 games.
Dungeons & Degenerate Gamblers
And the recently released 4th beta for the pokemon fan game Unbreakable Ties (the English release because I’m dumb and don’t know Spanish)
- Comment on What have you been playing lately? 3 months ago:
New Vegas. At some point I took my save from my PC and copied it over since zi didn’t feel like playing as my level 6 new character on hard difficulty survival mode. I’d rather play my melee build character who now has an insanely fast war club that can take out individual death claws without backup with only a 50% chance of death, assuming vats allows me to knock one down.
That, and games like GemCraft: Frostborn Wrath, Isles of Sea and Sky, and trying to get back into Brok the Investigator so I can try and get all endings completed before the eventual DLC release.
- Comment on What have you been playing lately? 3 months ago:
The remake/remaster(?) isn’t any easier. I’ve played through a little bit of the original on duckstation and the remaster(?) and it certainly feels just as aggravating on both.
- Comment on [Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam 4 months ago:
I can get it running on my laptop running a Debian based distro but for whatever reason I was having trouble with the whole thing where you have to use ADB to get the device code to register your device with go*gle services. Otherwise it works just fine.
- Comment on Escape from Tarkov is offering players in-game currency as a bounty for reporting cheaters 4 months ago:
Can’t wait for this to be abused by people spamming reports regardless of whether or not the person in question is cheating.
- Comment on [Rumor] Valve may be working on official Waydroid (Android app) support for Steam 4 months ago:
I see this as a win because if I could ever get Waydroid functioning properly, especially on a Steam Deck, I could more comfortably play the pvz2 mods I wanna play but can’t because android is too locked down for me to be able to move files where they need to go.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 5 months ago:
Then they need to innovate and create something outstanding…
There’s the snag. Anything they innovate or create that’s outstanding will 100% be anti-consumer. That, or their version of innovation will be forcing an update to your system that pretty much brick it to ensure you buy a newer model (at least for countries that don’t have strong pro-consumer laws). I can count the number of companies on a single hand that I would trust not to do that.
- Comment on What do you use the back buttons for? 5 months ago:
So far the only games I’ve ever played on Deck that require them would be Portal 2 alongside the Portal 2 mod Revolution (or something along those lines). I think jump and maybe 1 other function is tied to the back buttons. Otherwise, I haven’t messed around with controls enough to find a use for them.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - June 2024 5 months ago:
I bricked a save on pre-release 3 of Pokemon Vanguard earlier, so I gotta move my save to my desktop and boot up the game in RPG Maker XP to fix my mistake of using a glitch I didn’t think could screw me over.
Besides that, probably gonna continue my New Vegas melee weapon only build that I finally ended up transferring the save for it to my deck. That, or finally get around to starting the new Ratchet and Clank after looking at ProtonDB to see what issues people have and what they do to fix them.
- Comment on Do you still use your Steam Deck much? 5 months ago:
Pretty much ever since getting mine a few weeks back, I’ve been absolutely loving it and using it fairly often when I can. So far the only problem I have with it isn’t even an issue on Valve’s end. It’s literally just that the BeeMod for Portal 2 doesn’t have a Linux port and I’m too lazy to set it up on my deck.
Otherwise, definitely a purchase I don’t regret. Especially since it’s gotten me to continue my melee only save in New Vegas that I’ve been meaning to get back to.
- Comment on No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve 5 months ago:
When I die, I am absolutely making sure someone I like gets password access to my accounts on various services. Don’t care if it’s against TOS of various services. That’s their problem, not mine.
- Comment on [Discussion] New month, new games. What are you playing on your Steam Deck? - May 2024 6 months ago:
Well, I think I might start an Amorous playthrough. Maybe this time I won’t accidentally say the wrong thing to the wrong person and not have a backup save . Otherwise, I’ll probably continue slogging through Baba Is You.
- Comment on What is your favorite Open Source Game on Steam Deck? 6 months ago:
Sounds like a game I gotta try.
- Comment on What is your favorite Open Source Game on Steam Deck? 6 months ago:
I liked that so much I bought it on Steam to support them, assuming it’s the same devs.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
Definitely gonna have to install NV on my deck that finally arrived yesterday and see how good it is on deck… even though I am still nowhere near done with my melee build on my desktop and will need to copy all my bug fixing mods and settings from there as well.
Maybe I’ll do an unarmed build where I side with Yes Man while taking out as many factions as possible.
- Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers 7 months ago:
Well, the next best option would be paying for hosting in a 3rd world country who doesn’t give a shit about international copyright laws. Not an easy task, but hosting your own Discord like platform is probably the absolute best you can do if you’re running an operation like making an emulator while the copyright bandits cry foul.

I heard about this from a video talking about how Relic Castle was taken down.
As of I didn’t need anymore reasons to buy a physical copy of The Anarchist Cookbook!
