Love this so much

I am also so curious. Maybe money and the idea of “I just subjugate anyone that isn’t like me” is the answer? Notch went though similar stuff shirt he got “fuck you” money.

Oooo I love Fricko

EM DASH SUPERIORITY

Update: 15ish hours in, I’m voicing like four characters and my partner is voicing all of the others. We are absolutely loving it so far. Thank you for the recco!

TF me into a furry? Uhhhh how have I not played that yet

I found Dredge to be quite cozy until the final area!

Oh my gawd the person who did the commercials for that, Davyforce, is one of my favorite creators ever. He made the movie “Not4Sale: TV Sheroff and the Trailbuddies” and it’s one of my favorite movies ever. Every time I trip with someone new for the first time, I put it on without explaining anything. 100% success rate of laughing until we cry.

If I left the house more I would 100% get one hahahaha

That makes sense! If I ever used my switch undocked, I would maybe consider it. But 100% of the time I played it docked. My place of comfort is the room with my computer and some screens and the comfiest furniture. I don’t hang out anywhere else in my house and I’m a homebody, so I’m not gonna bring it anywhere.

If I’m gonna dock a Steamdeck, I might as well just use my dope computer!

I understand, but I can use my desktop from the place I relax, in addition to my desk chair! I can play stuff from relaxation station with zero effort. I’ve only ever used my switch docked (and now I just emulate it for better performance.)

I’ve never personally had an issue booting up my dope rig to play Stardew Valley or Vampire Survivors!

Excellent advice, thank you!

Thank you! I think I’m gonna ride Win10 until it’s Jo longer supported, then go Win10 LTSC IoT until I’m comfortable switching all of my machines to Pop!. I play a VERY SPECIFIC 20+ year old Half Life mod with some folks that my Software Engineer friend has been unable to get working on Linux in any manner… so unfortunately I am tied to Windows. I could dual-boot but I don’t want any boot loader headaches, and our main machines exist pretty much solely to play games hahaha. I do debloat with OOSU10, I’ll scope Titus’s tool!

You’re SO not wrong about TVs being a complete privacy nightmare. No chance I’m letting em have ny WiFi info!

Hell yeah! That sounds dope! I have computers connected to all of my screen in our house, but they’re moooostly running Windows 10. Just a couple pis running Linux… the GUI on a Pi5 is laggy but it runs 1080p YouTube perfectly so that’s fine. I should start converting my machines to Linux… my main game machines I think I’ll keep on Windows 10 until Linux is closer to 100% compatibility. It’s getting there!

That is an awesome feature! I don’t find myself playing short sessions nowadays. That would be super useful if I did though!

Hahaha that’s fair! I have a hugely comfy setup at home and even before I emulated all my switch games, I only ever used my switch docked. The deck is a brilliant piece of technology, but it just wouldn’t see any use in my household.

That’s fair! With our setup I can sit in a chair, or lay back in bed and still play games! If we didn’t have that option, I’d probably have a use-case for a deck hahaha

It’s tough for me to go back to 100FPS or less after a long time playing at 165hz!

I soooo wish I had a use case for one. They’re completely amazing devices and in my more mobile days, it would have been the perfect device for me. But now I’m home all the time and my partner and I have desktops set up next to each other, so I don’t have a use for one.

Do you legitimately think software you run does not know what hardware it’s running on?

If so, I can’t help you.

Oh I super agree with you! The question was “does Steam know what your hardware is without consenting to a survey” and the answer is “yes absolutely Steam does!”

Also your last paragraph? I know software and I think you’re too lenient hahahaha

I don’t even use phone apps unless they have almost zero permissions.
