I run everything at 720 so I can go seamlessly from docked to handheld, and quite frankly, this little magic Gaben rectangle has no business performing as well as it does.
If you're trying to run games at 4k, then yeah, it's not gonna be as good. Temper your expectations
Saw a bit on the Discord server, guy tested the backplate and found that it had little appreciable thermal gain, but the vent hole over the fan made it much much louder. "Unusable without a headset," were his exact words, "cannot recommend unless you exclusively play AAA games with headphones on"
I'm taking the first baby steps in the same direction, had my Deck for almost a year now, about to put Endeavour on an old netbook to have a second device running KDE
I guess update for anyone who cares: I am not using Arch btw, not for this little machine. Goal of having a second workspace using KDE is running out of steam, but goal of learning about Linux is proceeding as (in hindsight) expected.
Netbook is an old Asus eeePC with only a gig of ram, so Endeavour straight up told me no, Tumbleweed stalled out for 6 hours, Leap probably won't do any better, but I'm downloading it anyway because I'm now reaching that phase of collecting distros just to see what works.
Which is all to say: greetings fellow Linux users, I feel like I have finally arrived.
I’ve been considering purchasing a steam deck. My pc is in my office, which limits interaction with the rest of the family if I want to play anything. I’ve tried playing mobile games, but just can’t get use to the controls. Think it’s worth getting one?
Easily the smartest purchase I've made in a decade. Primarily a console player, but I love modding, so this thing seemed like a slam dunk. I've had mine for almost a year and it is an absolute champion, I'm seriously thinking about abandoning my main PC even for normal PC functions and just going deeper down the Linux rabbit hole, because the Deck has been such a treat.
I haven't been on Facebook in almost 10 years, I deleted both my Twitter accounts the day Elon officially bought the site, but I gotta confess, I've been back to Reddit a few times via Google, to get some niche questions answered. It's become such a backlog of discussion for so many topics that it's kind of not feasible to just wipe it off the map, we have to be able to migrate all that stuff somewhere Spez isn't able to fuck with it.
"Why is the audio crackling in Armored Core 4 on RPSC3?" Answered a year ago
"How can my new smoker's chip tray work without holes?" It can't, everyone with that smoker replaces the tray, answered seven years ago.
And of course, I don't know where else to find an easy compilation of over 14 different imgur albums and GDrive documents for Monster Hunter meta builds, so even if I bookmark them now, I still had to go back to get the links in the first place.
Hey, just, uh, wanted to clear the air a bit. You know when you're saying "Linux," what you're probably referring to is what some folks call "GNU plus Linux," if you really want to get into the weeds of it. But don't sweat it, alright? I'm not here to be a buzzkill or anything....
Hi lemmings, I switched over from Reddit 10 days ago now but I couldn't find a mobile client that I was happy with with an experience similar to the Reddit experience I was used to. So I decided to build my own and I hope you will like it as well!...
I, like many gamers, grew up playing Pokémon Red and Nintendo 64 and was obsessed with Nintendo products. I graduated to a PS2 and PS3 and became super into Metal Gear Solid and Call of Duty and Fallout. Also spent a ton of time with the Guitar Hero series. I loved the escape gaming brought me and it genuinely helped me relax....
I've found, at least in myself and friends, burnout comes from playing one game or one type of game, and getting bored with that specifically. You need to find something new, but I can't really give any suggestions since that's entirely subjective.
I fell off gaming for a while because my job got crazy. The Switch and specifically Breath of the Wild pulled me back in. Then I honed in on Monster Hunter World in particular for a long time and kinda burnt out because a different job got very demanding of my time, and it wasn't even a change of game, but just getting a better internet connection so I could actually participate in multiplayer that pulled me out of the rut.
Keep it varied and it'll stay interesting. A buddy of mine just tried to swear off all veeja because he declared himself an addict. He's not an addict, he just burned out after playing nothing but Elden Ring for a solid year. He took a break for about a month and now he's right back on ER with renewed passion.
We gotta get the memes and meta subs up and running again, I'll help mod if necessary but not enough to start the magazines myself and get stuck with 100% responsibility
As more clearly dedicated hunters trickle into our slice of the fediverse, let's take the opportunity this smaller community gives us to share how Monster Hunter found us.
A friend in college first introduced himself when he saw my PSP sticking out of my pocket saying, "aww shit, you on Monster Hunter?" I said who are you and what is that. On his suggestion, I tried Freedom 1 and bounced off it so hard I questioned whether or not it even counted as a video game, having not even been able to figure out who to talk to to do quests (recall, in the early games the village elder always first tells you where the hub is, they don't offer the tutorial hunts until you talk to them again, so when I went into the hub and could only select the HR lass because the UI sucked, I just turned the game off and walked away.)
He tried again with FU, which I played the tutorials for, but felt like it probably wasn't for me. He said "it's better with other people." Ah, a multiplayer game, not my scene.
Ten years later, World was getting a lot of hype from people whose opinions I trusted, and my old friend tried one last time saying it was much more accommodating to new players than the series had ever been. He was right, I went down the rabbit hole, and now even the older games retroactively make more sense. I've since traveled through time as a filthy Fiver to Pokke, Moga, Yukumo, the lands visited by the Caravan and the endless Everwood, I've served at the Wycademy, Dundorma, Astera and Kamura, even hatched eggs in Hakum and Mahana. My love for these games is now a facet of how I see myself.
I wish he'd tried a little harder to get me into it earlier on, but sometimes it just takes the right combination of factors to make an entire franchise click. The same thing happened with Souls, I didn't "get it," until Elden Ring, and now Bloodborne is one of my all-time favorites, even though I'd bounced off that a few times.
It's a slippery slope
It's only been a year, what has happened to me

I haven't been on Reddit since the 11th... Anyone else?
Just realized that the other day....

What's your Sci-Fi unpopular opinion?
It's a slightly click-baity title, but as we're still generating more content for our magazines, this one included, why not?...

I’ve fallen into a deep gaming rut lately. What helped “get you back into” gaming and rediscover the magic of video games?

If you could place any object on the surface of Mars, purely to confuse NASA scientists, what would it be?
For me i would just place like random paintings, like NASA would be very confused on why Mars would have paintings lmao.
