Just played Limbo and Inside back to back and they’re such amazing games holy eff. And perfect for the deck.

Was surprised to see that GTA-V gives me over 6hrs of play on a charge on the OLED with 45fps/90hz and half-rate shading enabled so played a bunch on that for old times sake. Going to get RDR2 on sale this week to keep scratching that Rockstar itch.
Finally figured out how to get Assassin’s Creed - Syndicate running on the deck and this is such a great game, my first in the AC series.
I read somewhere awhile back their platinum donors gave a certain tier (10k or 100k or whatever it was). To be clear I’m more than open to being surprised here, I want Ladybird to succeed. I just resent Shopify being involved in any way, I’m a little bit petty after slogging it out at that company awhile because I know what they’re all about.
Starts about midway down their page at ladybird.org
You may have misunderstood. It was Shopify who did the big NFT play on their platform. I don’t know much about the Ladybird team, I’m not trying to throw shade on them.
I mean I hope Ladybird devs do a great build and go their own way without being corrupted by their donors and all that, don’t get me wrong. But whenever I see that dumb shopping bag logo I get the no feelings.
You can also read up on how the vast majority of Mozilla’s funding has been coming from Google for a very long time, and draw your own conclusions from that fact.
Shopify (i.e. Shittify) being their top donor already has me looking sideways at this project. They’ll invest in anything they think they can get an edge with and if something starts to happen they’ll fuck it up and wallstreet-ify it as fast as possible if they can.
Their (Shopify’s) guru founder Tobi made a huge NFT play that went absolutely nowhere while I still worked there. They spent a lot of time and money on it, right before they laid several thousand people off.
The only one I’m aware of is Fallout Shelter. The steam version is out of date but the android version is getting updates and new content.
Ghostrunner 2 is 80% off for $17CAD and runs great on the deck. It looks like some of the best speed swordplay vibes from Cyberpunk and I’m stoked to play it.
Also picked up Rage for 5 bucks.
This kinda describes where Linux has been at with sleep/hibernation for quite a few years. I don’t understand the deeper implications but it’s never seemed like a priority for Linux devs, vs how Windows and Mac have solved it long ago. Maybe because Linux hasn’t traditionally focused on portable devices but arm (etc) seems to be changing that.
This is good intel actually. I used HoloISO for a long time on my gaming rig but I never thought to mess around with those settings because I’ve always just thought of Linux battery use as ass (have run various distros on tons of different laptops as well). Would be good to take the deck deeper hibernation settings for a spin, but it would be kinda a shame if the deck devs haven’t already explored these things in ways I’ll never understand as a lay user, frankly. You’d think they’d be tweaking this stuff mercilessly for the UX and battery life.
Thanks for that. I’ve been thinking of it as a sleep/hibernate function but obviously it’s not. Linux still hasn’t seemed to figure that one out for some reason. Not Steam’s fault.
Thank you. Was wondering if mine was normal in this way after having it for over six months.
Bluetooth is disabled, as is the Wi-Fi antenna. Which I always do with any devices I turn things off that I don’t need.
Thanks yeah I figured. I’m not being very scientific about it yet but for instance none of my laptops discharge that much if I shut the lid and walk away for a couple days, but then again they’re bigger cells.
TIL Brotato
Windscribe is based out of Toronto.
Obligatory Bunsenlabs plug. Nice light Debian based distro with no DE. It cleverly uses openbox wm and tint2 and some other tricks to make it feel like you have one though.
Confirm it runs awesome on potatoes.
Yeah I got the bundle a couple weeks ago and couldn’t put them down. Def keepers!
