I’m the opposite of this picture. It’s like I have to relearn the game each time and fluid play takes a long time to return.

Funnily enough my muscle memory persists to some degree though. So for instance if a particularly tough enemy is charging me I might push a specific key without actually knowing what it does. Afterwards I have to reason and rediscover what I was trying to accomplish and bind that action to the key I pressed.

You can see that it’s symmetrical and that they used 6 diametrical cuts to make 12 pieces. So 2 are missing.

Not that it matters much, but this little dishonesty just adds to the zaniness of the whole ad.

In my experience the big problem is not people self ascribing personality types but type casting others. When you expect others to have certain traits you also treat them accordingly.

I can’t believe she has trouble speaking in front of crowds, she’s a lion after all.

Then again horoscopes aren’t unified or anything and you can just cherry pick from different sources and cultures to believe anything.

After watching the original video I started putting some additional powder at the bottom of the loading tray every wash and it works great. Clean dishes ever since, no pre rinse necessary. Can recommend 👍.

That likely means they’ll put thought into a pleasant controller layout (including steam actions) as well. Good stuff.

That sounds like a useful feature. Which apps are you using?

How do you tag another user? Did you just mean you left a mental note or is it possible to assign custom tags to users somehow?

Is that what the Steam Deck uses? It’s pretty useful.

You can export all your bookmarks to a single JSON file. it’s a format designed for storing and exchanging data between machines just like this.

Also good for making local backups of your favorites.

i see a keyboard , but no track pads. track pads are really versatile and a key feature of the deck. this keyboard doesn’t look to comfortable to use either. Maybe it’s ok ish if you put down the device on flat ground and are seated, but typing on this thing while holding it in your hands is going to require some amazing thumb agility.

I have a small Bluetooth keyboard paired with my steam deck that I use whenever I need to input longer stretches of text. it works out just fine.

I much like Quod Libet. It has a clean, functional interface to manage your local music collection. Also support for Plugins is nice.

You can create Boolean Logic filters like (played < 10 times AND genre = classical AND composer = Mozart) which I appreciate. And some of the included tools like being able to automatically create meta data tags from file names (for instance <artist> - <album> - <track>.mp3).

It’s the best replacement for Music Bee (Windows only) that I’ve come across.

Ok,the suspension is actually a big deal.I noticed that in desktop mode it usually closes my open files in GIMP and others when I suspend. Not that I wouldn’t save everything first anyway, but good to know.

Different question: what’s the benefit/difference to launching the game from desktop mode instead? increased performance?

Fair point. Although I suspect you could still kill people that just happen to be walking by the buildings and such.

Blowing up buildings with people inside them is evil.

Fight Club

The interface is just so responsive and well laid out in Slay the Spire which makes it a joy to play. Not just on the Steam Deck.

People mock the graphics sometimes but I’d much rather have something this responsive than bombastic but sluggish (Hearthstone comes to mind - haven’t played in years thou maybe it’s better today).

In this vein I love how companies even spin up entire domains with affiliate links like top10airfryers.net or bestvacuumcleaners2024.com.

And then there source for the ratings is Amazon customer reviews or even the manufacturer’s online shop 🙄.

I haven’t seen an app that does it really well like some libraries or ontologies do but I’m certainly not well versed with all of them. Back in the day I used Evernote which was at least a start, as you could create arbitrary hierarchies (nest tags within tags).

So ideally you would want to be able to nest tags like this:

news.politics.europe.denmark

of course another person might prefer the hierarchy

politics.elections.news.denmark

There’s no strict right or wrong here but often over time some consensus forms. Bonus points if there are equivalency classes, ie “recipe”, “recipes”, “cooking recipe”, and even the Spanish versions “receta” and “recetas” all refer to the same thing.

By meta tags I mean the ability to describe and classify certain tag groups. For instance “politics”, “cats” and “Hollywood” are content tags while the tags “English”, “Danish” and “French” are language tags. “PDF”, “MP3” and “HTML” are file format tags but “video”, “music” and “text” are content form tags while “2023”, “2004-04-03” are time-line tags

Meta categories allow you for instance to search for pages that are about the English language, but not necessarily in English and surely not written by people who happen to have the last name ‘English’. Now some systems encode this information inside the string of the tag itself like so: “language = English” or “topic = cats”, but I think the most elegant solution is really to let a tag have categories or tags on its own which describe what it’s used for (thus meta tags).

The current demo is quite limited. I hope they add (nested) tags and meta tags at least.
