Civ 4.

Imagine saying that you “hacked together in two weeks” (might’ve been a month, it’s been a while) the battle royale mode and made that free to play while you wait for the actual game to be completed.

Can we all appreciate how this is spam for moving home probably all based off the “home assistant” part of the community’s name? lol

I mean the Decky stuff, this being an easy option is good.

That’s better context, thanks. Not that I’d go through any effort to change it… but I see how it surely can be nagging.

Zero interest in big art mode, but the Proton stuff is actually nice! Same for the launch in desktop mode, even if I don’t use it.

No kidding. Back when the Deck was new, I played a fair amount of Cyberpunk on it and it was fiiiiine. Not good, not very good looking, but enjoyable you know? Minus the bloody text, as I had to guess what things did because a tiny font at a minuscule resolution on a small screen in red? Not exactly readable.

Seems interesting and I’m thankful for the help, but as it turns out there’s a blueprint (supposing it works).

Thanks! As luck has it, I seemingly bought stuff that does have a blueprint. Now to see how it works…

OSHA would agree, I think.

Internet has nothing to do with this. You could be in a submarine at the bottom of the Mariana’s trench with a Frame, a good enough computer and a random (decent…) WiFi router plugged into power only, and it’ll work. Your local network is not part of the internet.

Performance was fine even on the Oculus Go. Streaming performance is about the computer and quality of your wireless access point, but supposing both are fine, it’ll also be fine. Been doing it since the Oculus Go.

It’s a California specific GDPR kind of thing.

I need to try that again on my desktop, a while ago something broke hard and initially I had to disable AV1 and HEVC, but then it just decided that nah, we don’t do any of that stuff in this house. Then again, not SteamOS so….

It’s not “just WiFi”. It’s 6ghz WiFi 7, and the higher the frequency, the lower the range/obstacle penetration… In general, lower frequencies have longer range but have less capacity. The 5 GHz bands are absorbed to a greater degree by common building materials than the 2.4 GHz bands and usually give a shorter range. How much will that impact things? Don’t know, but honestly I don’t think the placement of the connector on your computer should be a problem :)

Seen your post, and my DE is also KDE plasma. I’m not 100% sure if I have the same issue with the pointer (easy to blame it on the game after all) but I’ve been able to do a test reboot with it plugged in and not have the issues I mentioned. That said I have not tried to do anything with grub so I have no data to contribute there.

Multiple reboots, it’d looks like it’s reviving when I unplugged the puck, and when I did the next reboot without the puck it went smoothly. Nobara Linux, it’s from the Proton GE guy.

Mine arrived too, and I’m puzzled by the triggers: they’re smooth! No texture at all. Other than that no hardware issues but the puck… my system doesn’t like it, at least after the latest update. With “doesn’t like it” I mean that I tried American Truck Simulator and I couldn’t get it to run well enough to use any menu and killing it was more about doing so via Steam… that would need to be force closed too. And at reboot? It wouldn’t mount my internal drives! I think it’s the latest firmware, because I could play PowerWash Simulator without any trouble. On the bright side, if it’s firmware, it can be fixed.

Lucky you, I’m stuck trying to get past the “yes, use my wallet credit” screen :(

It was a good plan to preload it yesterday… but plans and reality. You know.

Edit: 31 minutes later, it went in! With a warning about shipping times due to high volume of orders, but it went in.
