Yet, I gotta eat

I could have sworn you received an oscar for your performance in the 2018 masterpiece “The Hardening”, but I guess my memory has played me.

I consider this my “Mandela-Effect” moment.

Hello Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie.

Have you forgotten that you were not only nominated, but also won in the past?

They have not learned anything about the dangers of trusting proprietary solutions.

Thank you, Oscar-winning actress Margot Robbie.

There are companies selling “gaming pillows”. Don’t fall for the gamer tax, though, IKEA will sell you a breastfeeding pillow called LEN for a fraction of the price, which is essentially the same thing.

Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 or possibly OpenRCT2 (depending on whether or not it works on the hardware)

That’s one possible workaround, but that will, obviously, break stuff like cloud saving and achievement progress. So, not ideal, but probably viable for some situations.

Family Sharing enables you to play games from other family members’ libraries, even if they are online playing another game

That’s a great first step, but I would also like to be able to play another game from my own library on another device (e.g. steam deck and pc) at the same time

This looks like a reduction in base price, as the steam store pages do not mention any discount percentage.
price should be permanent.

Dont play shitty games whose devs(or rather the companys behind) purposefully fuck up to not let it run on Linux

I don’t. Most games I play are single player indie titles that run perfectly fine on the steam deck. I’m merely pointing out that people also like to play multiplayer games, and particularly in the competitive games, anti cheat software is often used to thwart cheaters and unfortunately that anti cheat software is often incompatible with linux/proton, either by lack of consideration or on purpose.

you should be mad at them not searching for the fault at valve or Linux.

At no point did I blame valve or linux for these issues, feel free to point out where I did that. I was clearly blaming the game developers that implement such “features” to the detriment of linux users.

All I was saying that your “solution” to “just install linux” is, unfortunately, not something that universally works for everyone.

Look, Linux is great and all, and with the ammount of effort VALVE puts into proton, gaming does work very well with it. But unfortunately, particularly when it comes to multiplayer games, Linux/Proton can often not be a viable alternative to Windows. A lot of game developers are working against proton compatibility by using anti cheat software that either doesn’t support proton or actively detects and prevents using proton.

what if, both times, they were wrong at that particular point in time?

It looks like it is an issue with Decky Loader https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/issues/586

It was over 9 years ago when Russia invaded Ukraine with their little green men.

Yes, I’ve also crosschecked with using 11ac only mode with reduced channel width, but the steam deck would still lose connection frequently.

Only when I combined it with mixed network mode, would connection be stable.

Also note, that none of my other devices (tablet, phone, quest2) had any issues with 11ac/80MHz, only the steam deck was unstable.

This should be able to split them by chapter.

I bought a few books off audible, and while I can still access them even without a subscription, I still have them converted to mp3 on my NAS, in case I ever lose access to audible for some reason.

It’s the square cutout on the ears that absolutely sells it.
