Not “many people.” Americans. Americans find it hard to read. I’m not 100% sure but I’m fairly certain everyone else in the world agrees that either day/month/year or year/month/day is the best way to clearly indicate a date. You know, because big to small. America believes month/day/year for some stupid fucking reason.
I had fun playing it on PC, but the game is just that much more fun and immersive on the Deck. I’d say it’s the first game where I’ve noticed a big difference since I got my Deck last week....
I was on the edge buying the thing and told myself that if I use it 50 hours it’s a reasonable purchase. Now I’m sporting closer to 200h within one year I could not be happier....
What a terrible way to go. They sounded less prepared than even Chris McCandless.
I can’t believe I’m recommending reality TV, but Alone is a fairly good representation of being alone in the wilderness with no resources. It is extremely unpleasant.
I think many people have that pull to nature, but most that do it and survive recognize that living without the infrastructure of the rest of humanity is at least extremely challenging and so will thoroughly prepare.
I would like to share with you a very cool project that develops drivers for correct operation of Microsoft Surface devices on Linux. I myself use Surface Pro 6 with these drivers and everything works like a charm (battery life is good, cameras work, stylus, keyboard, touchscreen, screen). The developers are gods. From myself, I...
Buying new, sure, what you’re saying makes sense. I think buying used for the form factor or whatever and not wanting windows is a fine choice, though.
I think it’ll definitely be making a round trip out of the house, and if that’s the case it’s a no from me. There is no reason it can’t do both - local streaming when local and remote streaming when remote, with all the restrictions/benefits of each.
We’ll see. I probably won’t buy one anyway, I’m fine with chiaki on my deck. Maybe if it’s a flop and goes on mega sale.
Just picked up an APC 48u rack. The listing had no shots of it, and I didn’t notice till after I got it home and set up, the rack rails do not have square cage nut holes, but what appear to be threaded holes. I can not find a bolt or screw with the right size and thread pitch. It looks like it’s an M5 fine thread, but wanted...
Unfortunately threaded racks can be lots of different sizes - the most common in my experience are 10-32, 12-24 or M6x1. I just label racks with their screw size in a visible area to avoid confusion.
Someone at my current job ruined every single thread in one of the server rooms, so that’s definitely a possibility as well. I will say it is obvious when someone has done that once you take a close look, though.
Best bet is to just buy one of each screw size at a local hardware store and try them out. Maybe also see if there is a model number on the rack, but don’t hold your breath.
They must have hired the guy we got rid of. Bummer, dude. Might have some luck at an IT recycler nearby. Contact them and tell them what you’re looking for.
I never got into poe and didn’t have as much time in d2 as you, but I played the crap out of d2 original. I also couldn’t stand d3. What a disappointment.
I really enjoy d4. I was not going to buy it but a friend who I often agree with on game choices did and was looking for someone to play with so I joined. No regrets. It feels like a modern Diablo game to me. Cross platform works well, which is nice so we can play with another friend who was obsessed with d2 but became a console gamer over the years.
I am a lot busier than I was when d2 came out so I only have a single character, around level 60, but I’m looking forward to the first season.
I'm 50/50 between whether it'll be good or not. But when the recommended specs require me to drop a few hundred on upgrading my pc, god knows I'm not playing it this year haha. Perhaps in 2027 :)
AFAIK that $300 annually should be optional, at least in the case of my doctor’s office. Not the same one as you, and they’re unfortunately not looking for new patients.
Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon....
Not the same games but exact same vibe. Need to be able to turn it off literally minutes after I start. Can't wait to game with the kids. I want them to be older already but also not yet.

Hades on Steam Deck is a blast
I had fun playing it on PC, but the game is just that much more fun and immersive on the Deck. I’d say it’s the first game where I’ve noticed a big difference since I got my Deck last week....
How much do you use your deck? Was it a good purchase?
