You could ask instead of taking a stealthy photo… You do know how to talk to people, right?

I get that. And I self host the things I care about. But for the average layman? I don’t see self hosting as a real option. Unless you are decently tech savvy, and have an aptitude for troubleshooting, most people aren’t gonna put in the time or effort of initial setup. Even if maintenance is minimal once it’s running. That first leap into self-hosted is daunting.

I think of it this way… would I expect my dad to be able to do it? Absolutely not. And my dad is decently tech savvy for 70.

Helldivers 2 on higher difficulties has me hitting 15fps sometimes. It’s so damn tough to play on steam deck because of the quality, but it’s honestly amazing it runs half decent at all.

Tbh, part of being steam verified requires booting directly into the game and not going to a launcher for the game. So this does get them over that hump.

I’m happy the options are still available at least, as somebody who’s currently using my steam deck to play Fallout 4 at 1080p on a TV, I need to be able to modify the settings when moving between playing on the device and on a TV.

Yeah I’ll be picking this one up.

I almost feel like making shitty mspaint versions of popular Nintendo game box art and upload them to steamgridb to use unironically for my library.

Not familiar with the nextcloud side of things, but I just pulled all my photos from Google photos and imported them all to Immich. I’d imagine if you just have a folder full of images, it’d work the same way. During the Immich setup, you can designate an import folder. Point that import folder at your photos folder that you want to bring in. Once you have Immich up and running, you can use the terminal and run an import from the command line on that import folder. You’ll have to make an API key for the CLI to use, but you can make that in the settings. Immich doesn’t currently support mass importing from inside the UI, so this is the only way I’ve found to do it. The import ran fast for me though, went though 125gb of photos and videos in about 5 mins.

I’d hope so. It ran fine before.

Doesn’t work for me. I tried this with my little brother after setting up family sharing. He used to be able to play my games on his account when I wasn’t playing. Now he can’t even do that anymore. Family sharing sucks now.

Anyone have any idea what any of this actually means?

I think the point I was more getting at is that the bullshit that companies do is extremely subjective, and everyone has their own different things that they feel are important issues. But you’re not wrong. There is a lot of BS to keep track of.

And I’m thinking that if it’s related to something you do actually care about, you should be digging into it. Plenty of people are trying to mislead people all the time, and it’s so easy to get swept up in fake outrage if you don’t actually stop to question things.

That’s why a bunch of people are angry at a consulting firm for a bunch of different game studios right now. Because somebody literally just made a list of things for people to be mad at.

Do you really need a list to tell you what to buy and not buy?

I mean it really doesn’t take that much effort to avoid those companies you don’t like.

Keeping a community list seems stupid, everyone has different things they like and don’t like, and the gaming community isn’t a personal army, despite what others might think.

Same boat here. My God it’s unbearable how bad YouTube premium is.

The game looks to be a vampire survivors clone. Nothing wrong with that, just wanted to provide context to those who didn’t click through to the article. But lots of good information about using the steam deck for development.

I don’t trust Google not to sneak in an unwanted payment. (Or a game fritzing out and doing a payment for me)

This doesn’t happen. You can just admit you don’t trust yourself not to spend more money.

Should be an extension called Power Tools.

Once you have that installed, you’ll have to disable smt. Each time you go to start the game. It does not save the settings, and reverts back once the game is closed.

Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu still only runs at 20fps most of the time. But it’s honestly not that bad, still quite playable. Super Mario Wonder on Yuzu also seems to run flawless if you disable SMT using Power Tools through Decky.

I find that the steam version of retroarch doesn’t have near the core selection as the flatpack version

I paid for it years ago when it was like $50 mostly because the interface was simple enough for my non tech savvy family to use.

Thank you for keeping things in perspective.
