- Comment on How to get around the US TikTok ban | Tom's Guide 1 day ago:
No offense but there are far too many users who are assuming this is because of the “ban”, who haven’t read the law or the bill and don’t function all understand what’s going on. And Tik Tok themselves are taking advantage of that. Spreading misinformation (however unintentional) doesn’t help here and is actively hurting users of the platform and people who want privacy law reform.
So can we amend the title of this post to factually reflect the situation?
- Comment on How to get around the US TikTok ban | Tom's Guide 1 day ago:
Make a new account. And use a VPN because the American accounts have been flagged in Tik Tok and they already know who they are. This is literally Tik Tok disallowing US users to access it, rather than the H. R. 7521 “ban” forcing app stores to remove it from the app store. The law doesn’t remove the app from people’s devices and it doesn’t and can’t force manufacturers to do so. Tik Tok made a statement that they would remove access to US accounts if SCOTUS upheld the new law, and they have followed through on that threat. It’s not even just Tik Tok. Other apps and services owned by Tik Tok or distributed by Tik Tok are also doing this.

“How to get around Tik Tom actively banning US Users despite H. R. 7521 not being enforced” FTFY.
TikTok themselves are blocking these users from the platform on purpose.

You may want to update what you said because they will soon do so.

Be warned that it’s big. The screen is beautiful and I really like that aspect of it, but I’m more comfortable with the ROG Ally x because of the size. That being said, I have small hands and I know others didn’t have this problem with it.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 1 week ago:
The Legion Go has a touchpad. I think even the newer one that’s been announced has an (albeit much smaller) touchpad.
- Comment on Might as well get a laptop??? 1 week ago:
I also own a legion go and yes. Yes it does.

Yes actually. I wish they did not.
- Comment on Razer announced the Razer Handheld Dock Chroma for your Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Legion Go and more 1 week ago:
Bit late and way more expensive than either of the docks I actually own. In fact I own two docks and together they cost less than $80.

Yep.
- Comment on my steam deck has a weird issue 3 weeks ago:
This might seem like a weird fix but if you do happen to take apart the steam deck it can’t hurt to clean the stuck button with something like electrical contact cleaner (or 99% isopropyl alcohol), and then dry it with compressed air. That way any dust or debris that might cause a button to stick would be cleared away (hopefully).

Desiccant is fairly inexpensive and available at places like Walmart or your local hardware store. I’d recommend that for 24 hours or so.

Thank you for this. I’m doing this. This is awesome.
- Comment on [Discussion] Do you use any headphones with your Steam Deck? 4 weeks ago:
I do this too. I bought them for work but I use them with steam os (Bazzite) too.
- Comment on Steam Deck wins PCMag's reader's choice for best handheld gaming system 1 month ago:
Lol. Why is the MSI Claw even up there? There’s at least two whole other handhelds that could have been in the running and they chose the Claw?
- Comment on Games you want on the deck 2 months ago:
Mostly my problems with Steam OS (and windows Big Picture Mode) is the seeming lack of options for controllers that aren’t Xbox or steam controllers. Steam used to be excellent at this but more recently in Windows 11 (and in Steam OS) the controller support is great when it works but if you want a more granular experience it’s just not there). I somehow have less settings and options for controllers support than I did in Windows 10, and the way it detects controllers cannot seemingly be changed. So if you’re like me and own an SN 30 Pro2 controller with back paddles, you can’t configure them without jumping through a whole lot of hoops. And in game that means that you’re just not going to be able to use them which is a minor inconvenience but one that’s been bugging me.
- Comment on When the Steam Deck was still just an idea, Valve says some staff were like, "I just want that for me" and "the point wasn't even to make a product out of it" 2 months ago:
To be fair I have invested in a lot of their “niche gimmicks that will never take off”. I’ve owned the steam link and the OG steam controller (my dad still uses that controller to game, he really likes it). I love the steam deck but none of the handhelds have the right ergonomics for my little hands except the Switch, and so I use mine docked. But even then it’s a game changer not needing a huge gaming rig to play games.

I have the 8bitdo Pro 2 and I love it. Works great with or without a custom config, but in my opinion the config I use makes it worth it for the price.

Thank you for the explanation. It switches sometimes by accident and I didn’t know that.

So does the legion go. I don’t understand why there isn’t something built in to fedora to prevent this but I’ve never been able to find a setting for it.
- Comment on YouTube TV on steamdeck with more than 720p 3 months ago:
I’ve got a legion go with Bazzite installed and now I’m curious. I’ll boot into windows after I boot into Bazzite and see if there’s a difference. At least then you’ll know if it’s Linux or YouTube.
- Comment on There's a reason we aren't as harsh on the Steam Deck. Actually, a couple. 4 months ago:
The crazy thing for me is that I have a little handheld specific for dos games. The problem I run into every time is having to setup computer keyboard bindings for each game to play them using the built-in controller. I really want retroarch or another dos emulator to do profiles for different games and I haven’t seen that yet.
- Comment on Microsoft paves the way for Linux gaming success with plan that would kill kernel-level anti-cheat 4 months ago:
There was an article not too long ago about how windows 11 was gaining in market share for gamers. But my guess is a lot of them are like me and bought a handheld that can dual boot Bazzite and Windows (because they have games that only windows can play). Most of the games I have are older so no incorporating anti-cheat anything at the kernel level. But I still had to turn off secure boot in order to get Bazzite up and running.
I wonder how long this will continue to be the case once they end support for windows 10 next year.

- Comment on US kids want games subscriptions and virtual currency more than games this Christmas 1 year ago:
Thank you. I knew there was a name for this phenomenon but didn’t know what it was. I’m also pissed about the libraries. I don’t understand why people want to get rid of them.
- Comment on US kids want games subscriptions and virtual currency more than games this Christmas 1 year ago:
gestures at the outside I am not surprised. Outside is a McDonald/Starbucks laden hellscape. There are a dwindling number of places for kids to get enrichment outside their own homes. People in general spend increasingly long times in front of screens for various activities. Gaming is an activity that they can do alone or with their friends that doesn’t require them to pay for things to enjoy them. Some of them don’t even recognize that there is a real world coat for things like vbucks and so on.
Toy stores are few and far between. We don’t watch media that has significant commercials anymore. What did we expect?
