- Comment on Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck 1 week ago:
oh that’s a good point, I didn’t consider that game mode might be causing the problem. I guess I always install from desktop mode anyway, so I obviously never ran into problems with heroic in game mode.
- Comment on Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck 1 week ago:
since it looks like you’ve already activated the dropdown, this is a bug, probably on Heroic’s end. if you don’t see anything other than Linux in the version dropdown, I would put in a bug report on the github.
but since you own the game on GOG, you can just download the installer yourself and add it through Steam or Lutris or Bottles or [insert your preferred method]
- Comment on Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck 1 week ago:
Brother, it says right in the screenshot you provided: “Select Platform Version to Install”
the border around the dropdown shows that they have clicked the dropdown. the default state is for the installation folder to be selected.
- Comment on Can't avoid native Linux version from GOG with Heroic on Steam Deck 1 week ago:
The screenshot is what happens. The highlighted border means the dropdown is active. This is a bug, because it should be showing both version. If only one version is available, then it wouldn’t show the version dropdown at all.

well if you want to update the flatpaks, then you can use
flatpak update --noninteractive. there’s also a deckyloader plugin (I forget the name) that updates them from game mode automatically on whatever schedule you set.if it’s the system, then that updates outside of desktop mode from the setting page.

Yeah, fuck that neoliberal bullshit. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, and people who coddle them are collaborators that should share their fate.

- Comment on [Discussion] Steam Summer Sale has started, what are you buying to play on your Deck? 2 months ago:
You know, I really expected Dune to be shit, with mixed reviews at best. And here we are, with them having very positive reviews on Steam, and apparently 1mill players already.
I’m happy to see that I was totally, absolutely wrong. Thinking of picking it up.

That’s not the point. It’s bad for lithium batteries to be full all the time. That’s why iPhones wait to charge the last 20% until right before you wake up, and why Samsung phones have the option to limit charging to 80%. However, the most ideal charge for battery health is between 50-60%, so if you leave your Deck plugged in all the time, you should limit the charging to that for maximum battery life, and only charge it higher when you know you’re going to be needing it.

I was just thinking that we should hand over the ability to brick our technology to US politicians. Seeing as how they aren’t all horrible pieces of shit.

I’m just shocked Motorola is still ticking along, making cell phones.

I mean, Android is kind of not really Linux. They’re cousins, at least.
Then again, iOS is also built on Unix, if I remember correctly, so I guess they’re all cousins.

If you had read the article, it’s going to come pre-installed on Moto and probably Samsung phones.

Whatever the repair was, the battery doesn’t need drained for it anyway. You disconnect the battery when upgrading or repairing the Deck. Even a dead battery has some charge.

I don’t think there’s many companies that I’ve heard of that are willing to repair or replace something that far out of warranty.

ChatGPT isn’t shifting anywhere politically. It repeats what it hears, it doesn’t hold any opinions of its own because it isn’t sapient.

Well, if they were really serious about it, I’m sure they could manage something that wasn’t too horrible. But I doubt they’re very serious about it yet.

Yeah, stupid memes are exactly what we need. Just like the cybertruck was exactly the meme tesla needed, right?
I don’t know who the fuck even wrote this trash, and I’m not dignifying the article with a click to find out, but I’m dumber now just for having read the title.

Animal Crossing for the Switch, at the moment.

Unless it has support for Steam Game Mode and Steam Input, then it’s not the SteamOS I want.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
Sure, as long as it’s not made by ASUS. I used to always buy ASUS. My last gaming rig had an ASUS motherboard and GPU. Nowadays, I’m not interested in ever buying anything from them again after hearing about their RMA controversy. I need to know that if I get a component that’s DoA or fails under warranty, that the company that makes it has my back.
- Comment on 6 months ago:
Unless it has touch pads, at least four back buttons, and runs SteamOS, I do not want any such thing.

The data comes from the battery itself, as far as I know.
On the plus side, SD batteries are easily replaceable.
