So a view I see a lot nowadays is that attention spans are getting shorter, especially when it comes to younger generations. And the growing success of short form content on Tiktok, Youtube and Twitter for example seems to support this claim. I have a friend in their early 20s who regularly checks their phone (sometimes...

I’m really in the mood for a game like Shovel Knight after listening to some chiptune tracks the other day. Something fair, but challenging would be ideal. Must have a good soundtrack!...

As mainly a console gamer over the years, I’ve become quite used to playing with a controller that has vibration. I feel that this is one thing the Deck is missing out on....

Something I’ve never been that great at is spontaneous conversation. I’m more than capable of public speaking if I’ve prepared something in advance. But if someone asks me something out of the blue, I really struggle to engage in deep conversation. Afterwards I’ll think to myself damn, why didn’t I bring up X or Y?...

What lightweight, practical flashlights would people recommend?...

I don’t tend to eat much fish, but in the supermarket earlier I saw some smoked salmon which didn’t need cooking, and some salmon fillets which did. They looked the same really - both ‘raw’. I decided to buy some of the fillet. It was nice, but a very different flavour from when I’ve tried smoked salmon in the past....

It’s my boyfriend’s birthday next month and I wanted to buy him a plant he hasn’t yet got. Currently we have:...

I realised the other day that I’ve enjoyed lots of murder mystery games and shows, but I’ve hardly read any mystery novels. The only ones that come to mind are Altered Carbon and some of the Discworld Watch novels (all great!)....

So I’d heard lots of good things about this game and decided to finally give it a go. I picked up the PS3 HD collection, which includes Ico and SOTC....

I quite enjoy cereals that have a range of different ingredients - like oat clusters with freeze dried strawberry or museli with almonds and raisins. Over time though, the oats rise to the top and the smaller bits get trapped at the bottom so when you’re near the end of the packet it’s 70% dust....

I understand that the Romans were unable to conquer Scotland so they build Hadrian’s Wall (which explains the survival of older cultures there). But as far as I know they occupied Wales and Cornwall, so how is it that the Celtic culture (language etc.) survived in those places?

The other month I asked for some help choosing plants for my boyfriend’s birthday. Many thanks for all the suggestions! I decided to go for a Philodendron Plowmanii and a Jewel Orchid. They came as unpotted plants, so I just wanted to check that I’ve potted them correctly....

Hi all, I have an interesting issue that I’m hoping can be solved. I have a pair of Anker Soundcore A40 earbuds and they connect fine to the Deck. However the Deck doesn’t pick up on the microphone input at all - I’ve had a look under input devices and it fails to show up. Is there anything I can do (packages, drivers etc)...

I eventually got round to playing this! I had the 2008 version on Steam, so I thought I’d give it a go instead of the recent remake. Note: if you’re playing on Steam Deck, I’d recommend messing with the joystick deadzones for a smoother experience....

I was wondering if anyone has tried upgrading the textures on Skyrim? Is it possible to do this without affecting the performance too much on Steam Deck?...

I’ve got a spare Steam code for this game and I’ve already played it on Switch. It’s a great pinball platformer game with a lovely soundtrack - I’d be super happy if someone else was able to enjoy it!...

Someone loading up my game saves would see the unlocks, routes and choices I made. The physical actions in real life etched to the digital. A little piece of my life stored to semiconductors.

Really well produced video about the effects of pressure on different elements

A funny and sardonic look at some of the more invisible elements of Japanese roadsides

So there’s a possibility the instance I use will go offline. I’ve never had to think about this until now, but I want to choose a new instance and I’m wondering how this will affect things....

So this isn’t a major thing, but I’ve blocked some bots (e.g. ones that provide an alternative video link on every YouTube post), and whenever I see a post like this, it still shows 1 comment. So I go in, and there’s nothing there. Obviously it’s still counting the blocked account commenting within this total....
