Look! He left a publicly available email address to spam! You know what to do, people!

I don’t think I have any of the optional software installed, I’m pretty sure, but all the keys naturally light up. I don’t remember what brand or what exact model I have, but I have the lights on the lowest setting possible so they don’t distract me.

That’s pretty much the only thing I hate about my desktop keyboard. Absolutely not a fan of RGB lighting because it’s just wasteful and probably drains more resources than it’s worth.

I need all the resources in the world so if I ever end up with a better desktop I can run such obviously resource intensive games such as Dungeon Clawler at maximum efficiency.

Way too much Dungeon Clawler on my Steam Deck. I think that and a little bit of Baba Is You are mostly the only non-mobile games I’ve really been playing over the past week.

Depends on the game. I’m still a very long ways away from completing it, so please no spoilers, but Sonic Frontiers? They added enough to the open world that it’s fun to run around and do side stuff in. Pokemon Violet? The charm wore out quick enough, making the region feel way too empty compared to most other gens, so no. No clue on the DLC, but I imagine they’re similarly as empty and devoid of NPCs as well. Games like VoxeLibre on Luanti? Wouldn’t want it any other way!

Just got a legit copy of Dungeon Clawler and installed it on my deck and it’s definitely harder than the old version on my laptop. Also, I save scummed the heck out of Dokopon Kingdom on Dolphin over the weekend, until the point the CPU turned evil and finally caught up to me and caused my first death.

I have also been enjoying Sonic Lost Worlds on 3DS (first playthrough), while also having tried a couple levels on PC and I don’t know whether it’s my PC or what, but it’s pretty much the only game I could recommend the console version over the PC version despite absolutely HATING the special stages because of how trash the motion controls and movements are in my opinion.

If it isn’t able to federate to other servers and/or services, like kbin to lemmy and such, without 3rd party tools like the bluesky bridge thingamajig, absolutely not.

I’m nowhere near an expert at this type of stuff, but I assume some form of signal blocking device could work, so long as you don’t mind blocking your phone’s signal. Assuming it doesn’t have local storage and relies on something like a cell tower signal, cutting the signal might be the best option.

My bank app does the same and will most likely log me out if I end up switching to a different app. I don’t mind because I’d rather have that happen than have a stranger come up, steal my phone while unlocked, and be able to access my bank details (no matter how unlikely that scenario is).

To see the chaos, definitely some place like yt. Imagine you are watching an hour long video essay about something you love but you have to keep interacting with the website/app in some way that disrupts the video every 5 or so minutes or else you get locked out and require 2FA every time.

I imagine after a long enough time, the lazy people would just quit going and using their service all together. I know I would.

Specifically on Deck, I think I’ve been relegated to just Pokemon Rejuvenation, Baba Is You, and Gemcraft Frostborn Wrath.

I tried getting gyro controls working for Dolphin to play the 2 Sonic book based games, but I can’t figure it out with my stupidity and cannot find a used compatible USB or bluetooth IFR sensor online for the wii remote I can connect to my deck.

The horrors of having your TV record Gigli!

Yeah, looks like one of those gacha games, so I really don’t think OLED Deck or desktop Linux users are missing literally anything whatsoever.

For AI bots, yeah maybe, but that sure as hell ain’t gonna work on a real person who is using deepfake tools to fake their appearance for a live video call.

Absolutely wild stuff, but definitely not unexpected. Scammers gonna scam, just now they have some of the greatest tools to scam people.

Tried getting the gyro on my Steam Deck to work with Dolphin, but no such luck. So I’m back to playing Pokemon Rejuvenation. I think the only other games I have played recently are Plants vs Zombies: Reflourished, Backpack Hero, and Fire Emblem Heroes.

Sometime in maybe 2021-22 I messed up something on a shitty laptop of mine at the time. Changed something on win10 and was trying to fix it to get admin privileges back on the single account on there. Some website recommended flashing Ubuntu onto a thumb drive and entering some commands on the live boot. Didn’t work out and I didn’t wanna go through with a fresh win10 install for close to, if not, $100 for everything. Ended up with Ubuntu 20.04 installed because I wanted to use that laptop.

I’ve since tried many and currently have MX on a better laptop. At some point I’m gonna try to either find something new I can learn so that way by October I can make my desktop have a priority Linux boot with an internet disconnected win10 partition, or just go with Mint or MX. Definitely got a small list of distros I might wanna try, so we’ll see.

Steam Deck’s touchpad so “too awkward”…

The Steam Deck touchpads are literally the ONLY modern touchpads I like. Every other mother touchpad is absolutely atrocious because they don’t give you anything like a vibration to tell you your mouse is moving and you actually get some level of confirmation you clicked. It feels like every other touchpad out there now, I swear, requires you to attempt to click on the left/right mouse button (completely integrated into the touchpad) about a billion times before it registers that you clicked once.

Also, if the joycons for switch 2 are anywhere near as uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of time like they are for me with regular switch, I guarantee my hand would start hurting after a couple minutes of the, probably gonna be as responsive as a dead man to a cannonball to the face, mouse mode. The premise of turning what could be one of the worst controller designs I’ve ever seen into a mouse makes my hands bleed in pain without having to ever hold one.

So far, as a more casual user, using the preconfigured Plasma on MX, I have had only minor grievances that truly effect me and only somehow only broke it maybe 1-2 times.

Jam Hsiao because I really like his energy and his music. Only major hurdle would be the language barrier between, if we don’t include the nervous energy I’d most likely radiate.
