2 of 2. That’s what the “Final” in the title means.

World’s shortest investigation:
“Guilty as fuck, right?”
“Oh, yeah. Guilty as fuck.”
“Lunch?”
“I could eat.”

“I appreciate covering my screen in fingerprints, obviously. But what really makes me happy is trying dozens of times to get my fat thumb to register on an interface designed for a mouse.”
Someone making hardware decisions at SteamDeck rival manufacturers, apparently.

Oooh. Yeah. I could justify it as a laptop expense. Heh. Maybe I’ll use that as my excuse…

I feel the same except it’s a lot of money. Line $800.00 US, I think.
- Comment on Using source command for virtual Python environment 2 weeks ago:
You’re very welcome! I’ve had that issue with VSCode. I tend to create my venv outside of VSCode and force VSCode to use it. I’ve had issues Usually because VSCode is very particular about where the venv folder can be (it really wants it in the root of the current open folder).
All that said, everyone I know with a PyCharm licence likes it better than VSVcode anyway.
Have fun! Don’t hesitate to reach out if you get stuck.

- Comment on Using source command for virtual Python environment 2 weeks ago:
No module named pipis usually because I have Python earlier than 3.9ish and the vast majority of recipes expect Python 3.9 or later.A virtual environment that removes access to
pipcertainly isn’t working as desired.Here’s some things your outputs tell me:
- The system version of Python has a lot of stuff installed. So using a virtual environment is definitely worth the effort.
- Your
activatescript looks fine, on a casual read. (One of the problems we have ruled out is an empty activate file.) - Python and pip are both installed and available on your PATH, at least before you activate the virtual environment.
- Your virtual environment is doing things - at least enough to break pip.
Having ruled out an empty activate file, I would check on what shell is running. Your activate script expects
bash- a classic - but your SteamDeck terminal could default to something else.I would also try tossing a
3at the end of the Python and pip commands. In some situations it can help a missing command be found.Try these:
which python which pip python -V bash which python which pip python -V source .venv/bin/activate which python which python3 python -V which pip which pip3 pip3 freeze

- Comment on Marvel Rivals Dev Apologizes for Mistakenly Banning Steam Deck/Mac players, will unban accounts 2 weeks ago:
Should such a ban stand, players risked entirely missing the much- prophesied Year of the Linux Desktop or Mainstream Mac Gaming, almost certain to happen at some point in that span.
Lol. Harsh, but fair.
- Comment on What are your favorite accessories for the steam deck? 2 weeks ago:
- For the way I treat my SteamDeck, a clip on screen cover was a necessity.
- A larger case with space to keep the charging cable with it, for longer gaming sessions at my siblings place.
- A tiny Bluetooth gamepad (fits in the case beside the charger) for easily adding a second player for (admittedly intimate) couch co-op.
- Comment on Steam Deck hits 17,000 games playable and verified 1 month ago:
Editors update, an hour later:
“Wait… I’m just realizing that’s the count of Steam Verified games in my personal library. We are waiting to hear back if any of the 15 games I have not purchased on Steam impact this total.”
- Comment on Sony is reportedly working on a PS5 portable 1 month ago:
That’s the delicious irony here. They could probably release a Linux or Windows based clone next week, if they wanted.
The years of work they’re putting in is probably 90% to avoid leaking their game engine on non-proprietary hardware. Which is the same choice that will make it an unprofitable market flop.
- Comment on JSAUX released their first White 6-in-1 Docking Station for handhelds like Steam Deck 1 month ago:
I had one Nintendo Switch fry itself when plugged into a non-nintendo USB C connection, so I wouldn’t risk it.
I learned the hard way that the switch is apparently notoriously picky about it’s chargers.

- Comment on How's the battery life after you've had one for a while? 1 month ago:
Yep. Lunati / MineTest. My battery life while playing it is so good, it’s weird. I certainly don’t mind. But I thought my SteamDeck had a battery tracking bug, at first.
- Comment on How's the battery life after you've had one for a while? 1 month ago:
I haven’t noticed any loss of battery performance in the year I have had mine.
Weirdly, the time I notice the battery the most is while playing Lunati. Because playing Lunati for two hours somehow costs no battery at all on my SteamDeck.
The Lunati developers are some kind of mad geniuses, I figure.
- Comment on How's the battery life after you've had one for a while? 1 month ago:
Lots of devices will kill their own battery to maintain Wifi connection rather than drop.
When is happened to me, it’s always a combination of a specific place I’m sitting and a specific wifi access point.
I haven’t, myself, noticed it happen to my SteamDeck, though.

- Comment on Deck to LG TV 2 months ago:
Annecdotaly, a recent patch had notes that implied it fixes this issue. I got so tired of the dock being unreliable that I haven’t confirmed it, though.

Lol. Yep.
Anyone want to jump in and confidently vouch that Musk’s moral code won’t allow him to harvest human brains from living humans, shove them in a bottle, and use them as a fake AI in his fleet?
- Comment on the official dock is never quite plug & play when it comes to an external display (DVI) 2 months ago:
I have both the official dock and some random USB C multi-connector. The random one is far more reliable, in my experience.

Lol. Yet.
No doubt it will be discovered by a tool assisted speed runner.

It was browser hijacking malware.
I don’t like when people talk about my friend, Bonzi Buddy, that way! Lol. It’s completely fair and accurate, but I still don’t like to hear it. He was so cute!
- Comment on Valve still waiting on a 'generational leap' for Steam Deck 2 - but it's coming 2 months ago:
Yeah. I could figure out how to make a PC do all that, but I would rather pay for a Steam console that does all of that for me out of the box.
