Damn it. All good things have to be ruined by creepy people.

Are you me?

It’s absolutely both. Her “love language” is probably “acts of kindness”. That’s how my wife is. So, she is probably seeing it as an attractive act, and telling you that also makes you do it more often.

It’ll only take off if it’s competitively priced and supports every carrier. Until then I don’t think it’ll sell well. But I’ll definitely look into it next time I have to get a new phone.

I’m guessing they’re worried about social media companies controlling the narrative. Deleting comments to make a politician sound better or worse, that sort of thing.

Also fair and I hope that happens.

…but I think they’ll just add Ray Tracing to RDR2 and call it a “remaster”.

That’s pretty neat. Reminds me of some of the weird things is set up to play games when I was at work, back when I didn’t do much.

How did the controls work?

I remember reading a reddit post that led me to picking this card. I’ve been using it for a while now. No complaints at all.

I’ve got this up and running with Vortex. I can’t give you an exact guide, because I just kept clobbering it together until it started working. Also, this was done right before the new Steam update. It probably doesn’t affect it, but IDK.

Pikdum’s Tools for setting up Vortex: This video (read description!) seems to get you most of the way there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0lC-alUAGg&t Tools themselves. https://github.com/pikdum/steam-deck

Once it’s all set up I simply go to desktop mode, browse to the mod I want in Firefox (or use the “send tab to device” option from my PC), click on the Mod Manager download, it prompts for an application, Vortex shows up in that list, download and install via Vortex, then I close Vortex, run the “Skyrim Post-Deploy” shortcut that the Pikdum’s toolkit placed on my desktop, switch to gaming mode, and game away.

In the end the setup wasn’t too bad. I ended up downloading a collection from Nexus and I install/remove mods as I want by switching to desktop, using vortex, post-deploy script, and switching back to gaming mode.

Edit: and yes I also have everything on the SD

A Groovy bot replacement for me and my friends.

I got my merit badge after setting it up once. That’s enough for me.

Nippy. Kind. Langur.

This is true. Most games work out of the box on Steam these days.

I wonder if anyone will make anything out of this.

That’s why I still dual boot. Linux is my default, but I ain’t got time to spend 3 hours making a game work. I stop at 2:59.

For me it’s been XCOM 2, and now Skyrim. As well as Elden Ring a bit.

Once you figure out where the save file for the game is on your PC, you can simply switch to desktop mode on the deck and copy them over. I’ve got an smb share that I used to copy things between devices, but you can also use a flash drive.

This… This is true…

Story in all these games is convoluted (and awesome) to the point that it doesn’t really matter which one you start with.

Ds1 is worth it and id recommend starting there if you can. Snappy controls, and the experience you gain playing it will transfer over to later games just fine.

DS2 is a bit of a mixed bag. It diverged from ds1 in some game mechanics and if you play DS1 or 3 and then go to 2, you might find the combat frustrating. However I’ve beaten all dark souls games and after you get used to it, 2 is actually very good. Many people claim it was better then 3, but it’s not clear if they’re serious or “DS2 good” is a meme at this point. I liked it, but it’s hard to go back to after getting used to the flow of combat in 1 or 3. However again, some people truly love it.

Ds 3 is great. Also a good place to start if you want. It’s as close to a sequel to ds1 as you can get, but even if you didn’t play ds1, it’s still worth playing. The combat got a lot more refined from 1 to 3 and it feels a lot more responsive than 2.
