There was also a dock update… that failed… again!

… and it claims that everything is up to date. Same thing has happened every time since I got the thing.

Well I was wondering why the f’n thing updated so long.

It’s all headlines today. No time for anything else,

For some reason I’ve played Noita for the past month. Every time I’ve started to get bored I get a good run and the game dumps something new and interesting on my lap.

Only reason I have overclocked Raspberry Pi 400 for net, office and bank stuff are those shitty spyware anti-cheats. This way I don’t have to worry what kind of monstrosities are installed on my deck, because it’s only used for gaming, but you are right, you can manage with just the deck, unless you need some high end proprietary windows software for your self-employed work.

So much good hardware, but lazy obsession to enshittify them with Windows.

Agreed. I experimented heavily with different control options and had special configs for all classes and even for some weapon sets. Some things were really good, others remained combersome. Also used the steam controller.

In toughest lvl 5 moments, no tweaking was enough. It was “OK” if you were on the road and with shitload of practice it might have been great.

In the end, I’ve done most of my playing with Dock + keyb + trackball + external display.

So far just Juno: New Origins

I’ve been mostly playing:

• Noita
• Deep Rock Galactic
• Oxygen Not Included

Will pick up Juno when I get a chance to play when I’m not dead tired.

Especiallyspecially in the 80’s the “nerds and jocks” division was tangible. For jocks it was a social suicide to say they played video games or knew how to use a computer and nerds were beaten and bullied for being a member in the local computer club.

Jocks often had secret friendships with a nerd to play video games that they instantly denied if questioned.

So I understand where your hostility comes from, but still a little rough.

Here the setup broke down in the 90’s when jocks started using computers to get to the early social medias, because nerds sisters were there. Sisters had taken interest what their nerd brothers were doing and saw the potential in chats and forums.

Played it through when it appeared on steam. Not sure if some of the story clips bugged out or was the game just that trippy

Gotta get that Deep Rock Galactic anniversary hat.

Tried to get back to Valheim, but so far it hasn’t sunk.

Enjoyed Easy Red 2 surprisingly mutch. You can run it on Steam Deck with max NPC count. Real meat grinding battles. AI has some room for improvement, but it doesn’t ruin it.

Wasn’t it unofficial support? The kind of “at your own risk” stuff linux users get from everywhere.

Why does that post sound like: "Fuck off! …and do it nicely without causing a fuss…please.

Epic? Blah! Skipping it

There was a time when you had to crack every non open source game that you ran on linux. CD-key just didn’t work.

I have most hours on Deep Rock Galactic, but it’s no longer what I’d call a favorite. I’m getting a bit bored. It runs perfectly and I have clocked 2000 hour on it, so it remains something I can just play through instinct and relax.

My favorite surprise was that developers finally fixed Gunner, HEAT, PC, so it doesn’t freeze the steam deck on almost every run. It now works great on Steam Deck with med GFX settings. Although making a good controller setting is a pain and you need virtual menus. Didn’t find good ones ready.

Disappointment was Starbourne 2. Keeps freezing the steam deck within 30min, although it had gold level status in protondb. Hard reset is the only way to recover. Dock + keyb + mouse is a must.

Have been experimenting with this using the steam controller, but the learning curve is really high. Haven’t been close to dock+keyb+mouse level of dexterity.

It’s fun though. Really hope it works out in the end.

Not only Epic. Line “just use Proton and complain to Steam support if it doesn’t work” is coming more common.

Invincible, Death Stranding, Gunner Heat PC, Deep Rock Galactic, Trepang².

Starting to approach my limit on FPS games. Maybe transition a bit back on 4X games or base builders.
