  VR desktop streamers, do the same thing but optionally in multimonitor 4k and don’t have to look at our hands the whole time. Also can play on a recliner comfortably. My neck is in so much better shape since I started using my VR headset to stream instead of a phone or other handheld. Plus the screens are 20 feet away, nice on the eyes. And still take up 80 degrees of my field of view. Not sure what effective size that makes them, but it’s bigger and nicer looking than a theatre screen.

  It’s worth it, the game is actually one of the best space games ever now. In a genre that is pretty hard to be best in. So many amazing choices for space games. I’d argue the games is almost as good now as people thought it was gonna be before it released, hehe.

  Well, “always” as long as release day culture persists. So it’s entirely up to marketing. We certainly have the technology for the whole world to know a game is “close” without knowing when it will actually be done, only to know within an hour that it was surprise launched with no announcement. If that was the normal way stuff was done, it wouldn’t take long for everything to get used to that way of doing things and the support structures will spring up naturally around it.

  Is it? I get that china is “the bad guy”, but does that automatically mean everything china does is intended to hurt the US? Or did they just want to help themselves? Just because the US wasn’t in a position to handle it happening, doesn’t retroactively make it an intentional attack.

  The whole point of mass producing something is to make the process more efficient, which lowers the cost. They also hurt themselves if they accidentally end up oversupplying in the process, as then the price is lowered by a higher ratio than their savings on manufacturing costs.

  So, in conclusion “I like typing cute like a child, but why do people think I’m a child when they see how I type and have no other information about me to go on?”. Is that basically your question?

  Wait… what do your nails look like? Maybe you are not ok?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there circles of melted snow on this icy pond?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ice doesn’t form with even thickness naturally, when it warms back up outside, the thinner parts melt faster, and it kind of snowballs due to currents created and stuff like that. So even if the thin areas didn’t start out that much thinner, they end up melting way faster anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why people say good morning (or something like that) on chat after a night?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reading a bit into “ended improperly”, one possibility of them saying good morning could be if after they stopped talking late at night you still added 10 or so more messages in a row. Hehe. I used to get that alot. Basically both sincere and sarcastic at the same time. To let you know they are awake now and caught up on your continued posts after they fell asleep, as well as poke a bit of fun that you maybe missed a “too subtle for us” hint that the other person was going to sleep before you kept posting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When not thinking about it, do you notice your blinking?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I’m tired or had bad sleep the night before, blinking can make my whole view kinda wobble. So I notice it then without previously thinking about it. But otherwise no not really. I have to at least be thinking of it somewhat to notice it.

  Steam deck can also use the mouse and keyboard UI. And PC can use the gamepad UI. That seems to be the difference you are talking about. It auto switches interface based on what you touched last, so you just need to setup mouse controls on your steam deck, lots of options for how you want to do that. Touchscreen, trackpad, a key combination to activate mouse mode on one track pad and another combination or the same one to turn it back off, plugging a physical mouse in… I’m sure there is more, but either way, one of those should get you the mouse and keyboard UI on steam deck.
