right before the holidays I got caught up in No Man’s Sky on the Steam Deck for a little bit, first time experience after following the whole fiasco. I’ve had it from a Humble Bundle or something for some time now, and I needed some diversity from Rivals and it did okay. Runs well on the Steam Deck without much effort changing anything, was able to use it in offline mode easily for my flights. Was really nice. Wasn’t on my year in review though since it was after that date, lol.

Otherwise, my year in review “You played on a Steam Deck!” shows Phantom Brave 71%, Children of Morta 16%, Sonic Mania 4%, Hero’s Hour (fun game) 3%, and Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel at 2% lol. Oddly, ReVita isn’t on there probably for not technically being verified. I played that quite a bit this year though, so much so it inspired me to start trying to work on a game for a little bit.

Haven’t played a lot of games this year, 16 on Steam Deck and 18 on PC.

A really, really common story honestly. I’m glad that you stuck with it, sometimes getting out is the first step to getting up.

So it’s the Roman salute, it’s the Bellamy salute, or… He just gave the fucking Nazi salute.

I’m aware your comment is probably sarcasm, can I’d rather not downplay something like this.

Just be careful, slrpnk.net can also have a lot of doomerism. I like the instance though

“it was not sexual in nature”

I also came to say biting my nails! Quit through sheer willpower, every time I noticed I recognized it, let myself finish, then set my hand on the desk or my lap. Stopped not long after.

Ah, a better option for you I just thought of. Look into the DeckMate, it’s an attachment that can be connected to different things, and comes with attachments to stick to other things.

For example, you can have a portable battery connected to your Deck. But also, a VESA compatible back that you can just screw into a regular Monitor Mount, and boom, Steam Deck stand with any angle you want at roughly any height you want.

Bonus, you have a lot of things you can mount the deck to!

Is the official dock not what you’re looking for? I’m not sure I know what you’re looking for.

Do you mean, 45 degrees the angle of the screen?

Maybe something like a Nintendo Switch or Wii U stand, there are ones that have adjustable backs

My favorite use of back buttons is in games where there’s long, pretty, treks of exploration. From Monster Hunter: World to Red Dead Redemption and more, I always set up a back binding to an auto-walk.

Press and hold to toggle, adjust the timing to something a little longer than normal, and revel in stoned pleasure at the sprawling landscapes while you pack another bowl without losing time towards your next destination. It’s awesome! If the game allows, you can set up sprinting this way too even for those pesky tap to run ones (looking at you RDR).

The press and hold to toggle is important because it allows me to keep the button bound to a roll, which is often nice for games like Monster Hunter where I can keep my fingers on important camera control and direction/attack inputs while keeping a getaway button available

Depending on the game, R1 and L1, and other times just the usual ABXY with some per game adjustments.

Good, we shouldn’t get one until there’s massive improvements all around. Give it 7 years

The Deckmate, super easy to play with portable batteries attached to the back.

Ratings are based on somewhat trivial things, such as whether there is a website link in the main menu

Haha, I played it quite a lot and I did not have the same experience! Respect to speed runners cause my goodness…

Emulated maybe some games, but I just can’t with most games with the original controller. I grew up with it too, it’s just insane.

In way way did valve stop supporting streaming? Did they mean in-home game, remote play, friend remote play?

They used to have these for star wars and similar games. May not have come with a screen though

Leftists in the U.S. can actually make change in the U.S. at a local scale, so we talk against the CCPR because what else can we do.

Poor people are adversely affected by green washing because the prices of meat and dairy free alternatives force their families out of the price range. The of introducing plant based alternatives to grocery stores with gentrification in poor areas has been a significant issue that is downplayed because tech-WASPs want to buy out the neighborhoods anyway.

Silicon valley is radiating out of the city and families that have been living in Oakland and Richmond have been getting priced out of the area. It’s not that veganism is the problem, it’s that veganism is expensive and isn’t subsidized while also making traditional food harder to acquire. Since the price has risen for luxury products and the stores are higher scale, prices for basic products also rise. It’s happening in Portland and Eugene too, and I’m sure wherever tech is booming.

Again, it’s not specifically veganism. It’s a bit of a byproduct of the type of people. The traditional families that are being priced out are also vegans and non-dietary restricted families. It’s the green washing to force poor families out of areas rich people choose to live, literally weaponizing veganism. Also yt veganism, as if minority families haven’t been living vegan for decades already.

Finally, I also don’t entirely agree with the other user but a point I think they may have been trying to make is the difference between factory farmed and locally sourced. For some it is about harm to the animals full stop, to which point not all local farms that sell dairy harm their livestock. The goal should be harm reduction so anyone moving away from factory farms to local farms should be encouraged, but it’s common to get responses that reject even that, which in turn only bolsters factory farmings position as local farms get further eroded from lack of local support.

All in all, don’t let yt veganism replace actual vegan philosophy and please respect indigenous traditional practices. We should be aiming to move back to these practices in the industry to scale it down, not replacing them with soy/almond/oat milk that’s 4x more expensive and pricing families out of neighborhoods
