Want to throw me an invite? I really want to try it, but none of my friends are on it. I stopped playing OW when they jumped the shark and announced OW2. You can only play if you know someone who is playing, right?

Don’t forget to add padding, so I’d just round it out to 18 months to be safe.

Some of the UI mods are really good. Gives what can be a bit of a clunky experience some QOL features and look.

Biden ordered the FAA to tell airlines to not charge to seat families with young kids together. This was respected by most airlines, but not all, I think. Alaska Airlines, at least, was good about it, but it was annoying since you always had to do it at the gate and was subject to availability.

Only in cases of ambiguity or a gap in the law on record.

I think that’s the point of what these statistics mean. This is an indictment on manufacturers not pushing the latest OS updates more than people not accepting the latest OS updates when they’re available.

I’d recommend Fedora KDE. Keep it simple. Good community, support, stable.

I regularly use mine as a couch co-op party system, though usually we are playing Steam games, not emulated games. I have played emulated WiiU, Wii, PS2, GameCube games, however, and have found that multi-controller support can be a pain with the emulators needed to play.

Hardware wise, it’s rock solid for Bluetooth controllers up to four, but no more. If you need more than four controllers, you will want to wire them in with a USB hub. We’ve played plenty of six-person Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brawler using four Xbox controllers, one person with a wired steam controller, and one person holding the steam deck as the last controller.

If you go for older retro games, N64 or earlier, it gets a lot easier as retroarch is easy to play around with in game mode, where if you need to get into dolphin or something you have to go into desktop mode to make tweaks and it’s just a pain, imo. This is why we typically play older stuff or steam stuff. Steam stuff is easy because it just works.

It’s also super portable and I can bring the whole setup in a backpack and just requires a USB C laptop charger, my usb c dock and a HDMI cord.

Especially those who own horses (because they have money)

Yep, that’s the one haha

Thanks for this. The one multiplayer game I’ve been consistently playing apparently got Linux anti cheat support enabled 2 months ago.

I think installing Linux on my gaming/work PC will be a winter holiday project for me 😀.

Now to pick a distro.

Yeah, wouldn’t need that unless it was something more, I suppose. Either a super fancy controller or something else.

My money is on Steam Controller 2, but what do I know.

I think it’s visible on the controller settings menu. I also had to go looking for it. The sneaking thing is used so frequently that doing it by hand almost caused me to switch over to using my PC entirely.

Yeah, I agree. I want this game to be a success because of that stance. Such a breath of fresh air.

I guess the question is…can my life support going on a Baldurs Gate 3 binge right now, lol. Because that’s 95% for sure what will happen if I load it up on the deck.

How is the game on steamdeck otherwise? I’m debating if I should do what I never ever do and buy a game at full price…

Yeah, but they have to be installed by the server admins. lemmy.world added them. I’m not aware of any other instances that have them, but I’d love for them to be standard. The a.lemmy.world is my favorite lemmy experience so far (though I can’t…ummm…use it right now).

Yeah, if I were LW, I would stop allowing new users. I feel like servers should be either user or community based, not both. One for users has nice things like alternate skins (e.g. a.lemmy.world or old.lemmy.world) and ones for communities are focused primarily on having good moderators and being super reliable so that federations to them work 100% of the time.

Yeah, I joined lemmy.today so I could have a place to go when my OG lemmy.world is down. I like lemmy.world, but it’s constantly down (like right now). I suppose there’s no reason I shouldn’t just use this one as my primary, though I do like the other skins that lemmy.world added (old.lemmy.world and a.lemmy.world) when I’m on desktop.
