Bazzite is great.

I have an Ultimate 2 and I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that so I can’t remap the back buttons with Steam input.

What’s the trick?

Their controllers are amazing but the naming convention is so bad.

Definitely do not do tapes.

I’d also recommend Backblaze. Their S3 compatible storage is pretty affordable. I backup to a Kopia repo and then replicate to Backblaze nightly.

Tapes require so much more work to keep up to date and mght not even be cheaper over time.

I miss the era around the release of Android 4 where there were all sorts of interesting 10" Android tablets coming out.

Fast storage is one of the cheapest components of modern PCs so I’m always surprised when Flatpak file size is brought up. It’s not something I worry about very much.

I had one of these in translucent purple to match the Gameboy and it was dope.

Is it too early for me to inspire madness in the minds of men?

I use GarHAge which uses open hardware and software and was pretty easy and cheap too. https://github.com/marthoc/GarHAge

Yeah that’s a pretty important distinction. I can buy Rimworld from the Steam store, or I can buy a Rimworld Steam key straight from the Ludeon website for the same price or I can buy a DRM copy for less I just won’t get Steam features like automatic updates, cloud saves, or the mod workshop.

Seems reasonable they don’t want you using the platform for distribution while undercutting the storefront price.

So can developers just ‘create’ steam keys out of thin air that can be used to activate their game on steam? Does Valve get paid when the keys are created or activated? Or not at all?

Seems fair maybe if it’s using all of Steams infrastructure, considering developers can distribute the game themselves without steam keys.

I can’t tell if I’m allowed to be excited about it because I love Sandman but Gaiman is a creep.

I unhinge my jaw like a snake and consume all the Oreos simultaneously.

Consider buying used hardware from an office. Lots of places sell used gear for dirt cheap. A used office desktop with a used GPU from the last 3 years or so would be a massive upgrade without spending much.

Steam Deck is still a good deal for what it is though, but I wouldn’t use it as a primary workstation.

Meanwhile being “the bomb” is good, but “bombing” is bad.

But if you’re “shit” that’s bad but “the shit” is good.

No amount of preparation or warning can prepare you for the sight that is JD Vance’s massive hate-filled titties.

Pet you both simultaneously.

These chodes want a bulletproof pickup but it’s easier to just drive a normal car so no one hates you enough to shoot at you.

Hey I just want a simple way to understand myself, others, and my place in the world without having to do any personal introspection.

A: “Good job Tex.”

B: “My name is Sam sir, I’m from Wisconsin.”

A: “Nah, you’re Tex now.”

(This is my vague memory of a gag in an Atomic Robo comic)
