That girl who plays Steam Deck and writes about gaming + Linux a lot
Welcome back to the dark side!
I always find the Decky woes way overblown, they only happen when a major Deck release happens - and even then all you gotta do is reinstall Decky on desktop mode (or wait a few hours for an update).
It never deletes settings.
But, yours looks beautiful now. I esp love the Halo art!!!
Just go to desktop mode, and in the ‘pictures’ folder, locate your images.
You can transfer them to a USB, or even email them via the browser if you’ve no USB handy!
The STEAM button + R1!
Though I use the plugin from Decky called ‘shotty’ with the same hotkeys- it lets me take screenshots inside non-Steam games, which is the vast, vast bulk of my games library (GOG)
Enjoy!
I love the myriad of things I can customize on my Steam Deck :)
I did the same long ago, but I did go back to reddit. I wish I’d learned my lesson at the time -__-
Oh no! How’d it happen?
With you RMA it? Or iFixit the screen yourself? I’m sorry to hear, that’s sad news.
If you have a dock, at least you can still use it that way I suppose!
Easy fix:
Buy a fitness/smart watch - an older one is fine, why go excessive
Download GadgetBridge from F-Droid/Droidify and then use that instead of a proprietary app which is just harvesting your data and telemetry at every chance:
Oh, its SO easy to do too! (The running of games, not the kissing)
I have never played them, so its really nice for me to have them playable as the best version of the games they can possibly be :)
Enjoy!!!
How did you find Citizen Sleeper? Enjoying it?
For some reason I got obsessed with that, but the recent sequel which by all accounts fixed any issue and should be better…just didn’t grab me.
Removing the messages option and instead replacing it with their stupid DM chat system, even for modmail
Stating that later this year they’re going to introduce walled off paid sub-reddit
That live stream nonsense they had a couple of years back
Their A.I. answers integration
Censoring users who mention ‘eat the rich’ and the name Luigi
No longer allowing moderators of their own sub-reddit to change a sub’s status to NSFW (after the protests, obv), now requires admin to do this for them if the deem it appropriate
…who’d have guessed that these decisions were shit. Not the community who told them each time, again and again, right?
Fuck you, Reddit
Ahhhhhhh looks like the community control layout a user uploaded for FTL recently on the Deck is made for you!
I enjoyed my time there immensely. I loved fostering a community, and helping people, I wrote guides and news posts, I helped other users via messages and overall felt like it was a nice place.
But over time Reddit got greedy, and for me to do the work for free (moderate), and then provide their content for free (my posts)…with how they treated us and will continue to?
My time is better spent on the fediverse. Here and Mastodon. I’m far happier here now.
Their other plan is removing their established messages system and sunsetting it completely over the next 3 months. Instead every message including modmail will be done with their horrendous instant chat system - those stupid DMs they have there.
I left moderating some significant subs back when with the 3rd party app protests, but did return to Reddit after that to start my own.
But now, since early December I’m done-done.
My account has been deleted (as with Discord), and I’m all in on the fediverse. Seeing the proposed changes (the concept of a paid sub that Spez is so adament about?), I just had enough. And the more news of Reddit I see, the happier I am I did.
Most of my daily time now is spent on Mastodon, but I am here every few days trying to share a post or two.
This is so sweet of you to say! Thank you!
Having not been alive for the era I love the most (my father showed me the old world, where it was forums and individual’s blogs…dedicated sites which weren’t relying on ads being shoved into readers’ faces. So that’s 99% of my inspiration here. I just feel continually blessed that people read these and find what I find as interesting as I do.
So thank you!
I hope you have fun with testing Junk Store, too!
And feel free to add me on Matrix, if you’d like!
From the developer:
“The open source version will remain and the Gog extension people have already paid for will continue to work. Nothing will be taken away. Nothing will be broken intentionally, that’s not how we roll.”
If you’re in a country that let’s you, Buyee is a good option!
Its a auction proxy service that let’s you bid on the Japanese auction sited (as well as straight-up buying). They have super affordable options that way! My hobby is buying very cheap ‘junk’ consoles, fixing them up and giving them new life.
Annnnd there’s a strong homebrew scene for the 3DS now, so the library is extensive
Thank you!!!
I somehow never played a single COD game until the most recent one on Game Pass. Sometimes the older ones look interesting to me, but those inflated old prices for such old titles make me a lil cross. The one in space appeals to me!
…I hope maybe one day they’ll come to Game Pass :)
Yes, absolutely.
Even better, unlike Steam you own the of line installers, so you’ll always be able to own that game, even if GOG itself closed down.
