  That’d be sweet. I’d love to keep playing at work 😈

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages Earns The Steam Deck Verified Badge With Impressive Update⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with you, but that’s what I intended with saying long term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DOOM: The Dark Ages Earns The Steam Deck Verified Badge With Impressive Update⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hopefully long term the next Steam Deck sells even better and we’ll see support like this more often. I know about Larian and Bloober’s recent native builds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping the PlayStation 2 Alive: an interview with devs from the PCSX2 emulator (my article!)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  over two decades of development

  Jeez that long? I remember testing out games and being excited to see Medal of Honor Rising Sun get in-game at 1-5 FPS. Can’t remember if that was on an Athlon XP 2500+ or Core 2 Duo Q6600. It was entirely out of curiosity since I had a Swap Magic modified PS2.

  no per-game configurations, no automatic configurations

  Those were dark days. Nobody used PCSX2 wiki because nobody (besides us nerds) thought to look for one or knew about it, so emulator reputation was worse than it could’ve been.

  Still, it was very annoying having to reference the wiki every time I changed what game I was playing.

  In my experience, buying vinyl on Bandcamp comes with the digital versions pretty often. Check your account’s purchase library.

  Edit: Looked it up. The default is this way, digital is bundled in with a vinyl purchase unless an Artist opts out.

  Is that enabled by default? Not on my Deck, maybe I turned it off a long time ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3's Native Linux Port Is A Huge Improvement For Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Windows/Linux comparison footage both used FSR2 though, I guess it’s the half rate shading?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baldur's Gate 3's Native Linux Port Is A Huge Improvement For Steam Deck⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They pointed out Cronos was blurry using Proton. Looking at the footage, the same was true of Balder’s Gate 3. What’s up with that? Just a matter of sharpening? The resolution does seem to be the same by looking at the aliasing.

  I bought the OLED new (ouch!) and it’s heavily used…exclusively at work. It’s just one of those jobs with way too much idle time. Cabin fever will set in without hobbies. I read books a TON buut it’s in cycles. Gaming right now. South Park Stick of Truth finished this set and I’m starting Fractured But Whole tonight because it was $3.50 on Autumn sale. The combat is worse but I love it so far anyways.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have joined the ranked of the steam powered.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The screws are also self tapping in case you didn’t know, can be destructive putting them back in without being careful lol. Good luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have joined the ranked of the steam powered.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  $140 is a steal, nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft reportedly mulls ad-infested free Xbox Cloud Gaming plan — Game Pass Ultimate subscriber allegedly catches ad during game loading⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Modern Luddites, I understand the draw now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bloober Team announce a Native Steam Deck release for Cronos: The New Dawn⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If it was reduced texture resolution that would be nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet the first person to own over 40,000 paid Steam games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The equivalent in Lottery tickets would’ve been less boring and wasteful than this digital money burn pit. I’d like to never meet them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨E-Paper Display Reaches the Realm of LCD Screens⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A little annoyed they're listing other specs but just vaguely say "lower latency."

  I'll try to dig that up, but this has my attention especially the 13" preassembled package.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GrapheneOS Under Threat: EU Age Verification And Google Changes Endanger Privacy-Focused Android⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it's not so true. MasterCard wanted an excuse to do this anyways. You can tell because the bigger backlash does not sway them at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LEAKED: A New List Reveals Top Websites Meta Is Scraping of Copyrighted Content to Train Its AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Filesharing is very different from profiting off of your mass scale piracy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI-generated music is here to stay. Will streaming services like Spotify label it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bandcamp is my still primary new music source, and I've uninstalled my modded Spotify apps over AI. I'm just not gonna deal with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uber received 400,000 reports of sexual misconduct from 2017 to 2022⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One of my friends works as a train engineer and despite the brutal and dangerous career she says the regular use of Taxis to and from the trains are the most dangerous and sketchy part of the job esp for a woman. Refuses private owner apps like Uber entirely now, there's been attempts on her on the 5AM trips.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Muon: Steam Deck plugin for direct wireless lan multiplayer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That's useful enough to think it really should be incorporated into SteamOS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stop Killing Games consumer movement hits some major milestones⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  98.8% now. This is happening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK Stop Killing Games petition has reached 100.000 signatures⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Need more than 100k because some will be invalid rejects but this is good news! Keep signing.
