I run everything at 720 so I can go seamlessly from docked to handheld, and quite frankly, this little magic Gaben rectangle has no business performing as well as it does.

If you're trying to run games at 4k, then yeah, it's not gonna be as good. Temper your expectations

I've read some stuff about Jsaux being huge douchebags, so, you may need to make an ethical choice, but I've been very satisfied with this bag

I guess update for anyone who cares: I am not using Arch btw, not for this little machine. Goal of having a second workspace using KDE is running out of steam, but goal of learning about Linux is proceeding as (in hindsight) expected.

Netbook is an old Asus eeePC with only a gig of ram, so Endeavour straight up told me no, Tumbleweed stalled out for 6 hours, Leap probably won't do any better, but I'm downloading it anyway because I'm now reaching that phase of collecting distros just to see what works.

Which is all to say: greetings fellow Linux users, I feel like I have finally arrived.

Saw a bit on the Discord server, guy tested the backplate and found that it had little appreciable thermal gain, but the vent hole over the fan made it much much louder. "Unusable without a headset," were his exact words, "cannot recommend unless you exclusively play AAA games with headphones on"

Monster Hunter Rise, Dark Souls 3, and Fallout New Vegas all have really impressive battery life, considering they aren't 2D retro titles.

I'm taking the first baby steps in the same direction, had my Deck for almost a year now, about to put Endeavour on an old netbook to have a second device running KDE

Easily the smartest purchase I've made in a decade. Primarily a console player, but I love modding, so this thing seemed like a slam dunk. I've had mine for almost a year and it is an absolute champion, I'm seriously thinking about abandoning my main PC even for normal PC functions and just going deeper down the Linux rabbit hole, because the Deck has been such a treat.

I haven't been on Facebook in almost 10 years, I deleted both my Twitter accounts the day Elon officially bought the site, but I gotta confess, I've been back to Reddit a few times via Google, to get some niche questions answered. It's become such a backlog of discussion for so many topics that it's kind of not feasible to just wipe it off the map, we have to be able to migrate all that stuff somewhere Spez isn't able to fuck with it.

"Why is the audio crackling in Armored Core 4 on RPSC3?" Answered a year ago

"How can my new smoker's chip tray work without holes?" It can't, everyone with that smoker replaces the tray, answered seven years ago.

And of course, I don't know where else to find an easy compilation of over 14 different imgur albums and GDrive documents for Monster Hunter meta builds, so even if I bookmark them now, I still had to go back to get the links in the first place.

I own a Steam Deck, that makes me a professional computer code writey guy, right? Arch (based) amirite? Hahaaa, greetings fellow Linux heads

The vast majority of Star Wars, new canon and legends, is poorly written trash, but the cringe ass campiness is what makes it a star war.

Rey isn't the problem, revisionist history is.

Good ol' invisibility

Man, I was gonna saw draw Dickbutt but this is better

We gotta get the memes and meta subs up and running again, I'll help mod if necessary but not enough to start the magazines myself and get stuck with 100% responsibility

A friend in college first introduced himself when he saw my PSP sticking out of my pocket saying, "aww shit, you on Monster Hunter?" I said who are you and what is that. On his suggestion, I tried Freedom 1 and bounced off it so hard I questioned whether or not it even counted as a video game, having not even been able to figure out who to talk to to do quests (recall, in the early games the village elder always first tells you where the hub is, they don't offer the tutorial hunts until you talk to them again, so when I went into the hub and could only select the HR lass because the UI sucked, I just turned the game off and walked away.)

He tried again with FU, which I played the tutorials for, but felt like it probably wasn't for me. He said "it's better with other people." Ah, a multiplayer game, not my scene.

Ten years later, World was getting a lot of hype from people whose opinions I trusted, and my old friend tried one last time saying it was much more accommodating to new players than the series had ever been. He was right, I went down the rabbit hole, and now even the older games retroactively make more sense. I've since traveled through time as a filthy Fiver to Pokke, Moga, Yukumo, the lands visited by the Caravan and the endless Everwood, I've served at the Wycademy, Dundorma, Astera and Kamura, even hatched eggs in Hakum and Mahana. My love for these games is now a facet of how I see myself.

I wish he'd tried a little harder to get me into it earlier on, but sometimes it just takes the right combination of factors to make an entire franchise click. The same thing happened with Souls, I didn't "get it," until Elden Ring, and now Bloodborne is one of my all-time favorites, even though I'd bounced off that a few times.
