As a Linux user, the Steam Deck is an amazing system to work with. I kinda dropped off with gaming in the last few years and the SD really rekindled my desire to game both solo and doing cozy co-op with my partner.

Truly a game changer and I’m so happy it’s supporting Linux while doing it

Currently paying Outer Wilds in my steam deck while docked to a tv. It’s been very engaging and fun for my wife and I to sit down and try and solve an interstellar mystery while winding down for the night.

Interesting game with good art style and interesting mechanics.

Agreed. I don’t see it as an either/or issue. If this place becomes a cool place to hang out and find cool things and cool people, then that is a win.

I took this picture in Iceland of the black sand beach and with the grey skies, it turned out almost like a black and white photo. Makes for a nice background.

To be honest, we really didn’t mess around with swimming too much. I think you can swim at the beaches in the summer without much problem. The winter it is probably too cold for more than a quick dip polar bear plunge-style.

We did go swimming in between the divide in the continental plates in the run off water from the glacier there. That was amazing! Had to do it in a dry suit as it was freezing cold, but it was really cool and the water was more than crystal clear.

Just checking, but you are running this on the deck while docked to a TV, right? I can stream just fine to the deck while undocked. It is while it is docked to the TV that is the problem.

I do have experience with using the moonlight/sunshine combo though, so if I have to go that route I can, I would just prefer a native steam solution.

Alatain, 11 months ago

Awesome. That might have to be the work around if I don't get the normal steam streaming to work.

Yeah, I am wondering about that as well. It sadly sounds like it might be a bit much for the deck, but we'll see!

But why!?

Lookin' sharp!

Yes but there were and still are wild, edible fruit and vegetables. Humans were hunter gatherers. We have always eaten whatever we could get a hold of. We're omnivores for a reason.

The claim that was being refuted was that humans ate a diet that "pretty much only consisted of meat". That is not the case despite the fact that our crops today are bred to be larger and more calorie dense. Humans did eat vegetable and fruit alongside meat in our ancient past.

Alatain, 11 months ago

Yeah, I like the look of that much more than the previous version!

That sucks. I am sorry that you can't do the simple thing that so many of us take for granted. My animal friends are real friends to me and I am so glad that I get to have them in my life.

I'm sure that if you keep pushing, you will eventually find yourself in a position to make it real. In the meantime, here are two of mine. This is Dipper and Aang.

You can kinda make it bend a bit to your whim. While it is technically immutable if you don’t mess with it, it does have everything necessary for using pacman. It just all reverts next time steamos updates. Anything you install directly through the discover portal is permanent, but it does technically have access to anything in the pacman repos as well.

I unlocked mine long enough to download neofetch and take the screenshot for this. It’ll revert back soon, but I only needed it temporarily for imaginary internet points. :)

I have a Changeling: The Dreaming game that I am running (White Wolf V20 game). On top of that, I have an on again off again Exalted game that has been going for just shy of 20 years now.

What I would honestly fear happening more than corpos coming in to buy up communities is the possibility of them join forces to lobby congress or other governmental authorities into creating unfavorable legislation and regulation.

It is nice to be in a free world, but freedom is a threat to those that want to make money off of peoples’ attention.

Definitely. P2P is the way to go, but has its costs. It would be really good to see a semi-federated/P2P hybrid or some other architecture that allows some of the best of both worlds.

I will honestly have to look into it more. It seemed interesting, but I have not done a deep dive into how it works.

The Cheat is grounded!
