Not literally, but this turns your device into a Steamdeck, which is what you implied you wanted. With the option to launch into Big Picture/Gaming Mode.

Install Bazzite and use the Laptop version with Steam Gaming Mode if you have an AMD system. It’s what you’re asking for but for non-deck devices. http://bazzite.gg/

Is NL trying to maximize revenue? How so other than playing games that bring in more viewers than those that don’t? He showed the stats for Midnight Sons and it basically cut his income in half. He’s got bills and a kid, so unless there’s other stuff, I don’t really get this criticism because there’s gotta be a limit when its your job. He still frequently plays different games too. Recently did a bunch of demos for the Steam nextfest.

It does exactly what you’re asking. Its like Nvidia Shadow Play or OBS. Constantly records so you can hit a button to save things as they happen.

They literally did. The rocks are theirs and they’re trying to share.

You mean Kinoite. And the same team that does Bazzite also has Bluefin or Aurora for non-gamers that are Silverblue/Kinoite with extra drivers and codecs and such. Highly recommend any of the 3 between Bluefin/Aurora/Bazzite. They’re also super willing to help out with issues in their Discord or through Github.

That’s the funny thing is that they don’t have to. They just sign a form that affirms their strongly held conviction. No explanation necessary, because otherwise school admins would have the messy job of ruling on what is and isn’t legitimate belief. Just have to hope more states follow suit.

I think people are misreading the headline as them not being an ally of NATO and being designated as such. It’s weird verbiage to get there but that’s how I took it at first.

I do. But only the Ublue variants. Bazzite, Aurora, or Bluefin depending in if someone games or prefers a Windows or MacOS style desktop. Ublue adds so much that makes things “just work” that stock Fedora doesn’t. Drivers, codecs, patches. I had to add GRUB arguments to stock Fedora to even make it boot with my Nvidia card. I never had that problem with Mint, PopOS, or even Arch with archinstall. A noob isn’t doing that.

That said, atomic distros have their own problems. The install order is Flatpak or Brew, distrobox, then layering as a last resort. What happens to the newbie when a Flatpak doesn’t work properly because of some unknown permission issue that needs Flatseal? Or when its objectively worse than the layered counterpart, like Steam? They have to move down the line and at the very least read the docs on how to install each of these things. I had to look up how to enable a Brew service for Syncthing to work just the other day because the Syncthingy flatpak wouldn’t work.

Buy bulk as much as you can. Dry lentils, beans and noodles, canned goods, frozen vegetables, tofu lasts a long time unopened. If you have someone who can drive and you plan what you’re going to eat ahead of time, you can probably make it by on a single grocery trip a month. If any stores near you do ordering ahead, that’d save time for you and your driver, but you’ll need to watch close that they don’t try to substitute anything if they’re out of stock. Worst case for environmental reasons, but you can order a surprising amount of dry goods on places like Amazon. The grocery shopping equivalent to Door Dash I think is Instacart, but that may also be expensive.

There’s definitely no ideal option, but it helps to think that there are places in the world where people eat essentially the same meal every day outside of special occasions and that eating whatever you feel like every night is a privilege. So get used to simple recipes with similar ingredients you can take advantage of. This helped me break out of the idea that I can’t have stir fry 3 days in a row because its not ‘balanced’ when you’re fine as long as overall you’re meeting your vitamin and nutritional needs.

As someone who isn’t a fan of ARPGs at all, the two biggest problems I have are that click to move feels significantly worse than using a controller in something like Diablo 3/4 or even Dark Alliance like 20 years ago. It’s a convention that I feel is representative of the genre in that most of the big games use it, but that its also an unnecessary limitation in the same way as Real Time with Pause (a design choice) and the DOTA 2 camera unable to zoom out further (a self-imposed technical limitation). I started getting wrist pain after playing like 20 hours of Grim Dawn.

The other issue is that the builds are never very exciting. They all seem to be very focused on theorycrafting which skills combine best with which gear, but games like Grim Dawn and Titan Quest, which are admittedly older, boil down to picking the best 2 or 3 skills and stacking passives that make them super powerful. So then you end up mashing one button the majority of the game.

If there are ARPGs out there that want to attract a new audience of people like me, like Monster Hunter with World, those are the two biggest pain points to correct. A better control scheme and more interesting buttons to press.

I’m definitely open to any that already do this, but I’m not familiar with them outside of Diablo.

I have a hard time parsing this too because there have been many people claiming to be visited by the government for saying milder things than I have probably said in various places on the internet. They usually just get told to stop, so I don’t believe they’re getting sent to forever jail, but at the very least the govt is a little more likely to react to comments whereas it would probably take a direct threat to have that happen in some Western countries. Which leads me to believe that the CPC has either greater surveillance or pays closer attention to try to stop things before they escalate.

Lab grown meat currently does still does cause animal suffering since it’s often derived from fetal bovine serum.

As a vegan, I still wouldn’t eat it without that though because I have come to view flesh as inedible as other people would see tree bark or tires outside of desperate situations.

I already make food I like at home without it, there’s no point in adding it back in.

Streamers and their friends have been playing it for a while and streaming it in secret in Discord for the Friends and Family tests. I know about 10 people who have access and have been playing it the last week. I don’t like this kind of game so it looks boring to me, but just saying its not just based on sceeenshots.

If you ever feel like going back, I’d pirate it because stuff like the Darkspawn DLC and the Warden expansion was great and made 2 all the more disappointing.

Sorry I don’t give the benefit of the doubt to the man drugging girls in his home. What is he moving them for?

This was an attempted rape that didn’t get far enough for the courts to ‘prove’ it, but the girls report him trying to separate them after they were drugged. He wasn’t just trying to get them to quiet down.

There was a quest like this in the original Dragon Age. A dwarf merchant in your camp who told you about a quest but then the game said you had to buy the DLC to complete it.
