Elden Ring. Been on a souls like kick, so decided to do another playthrough. Haven’t played in over a year I don’t think so it’s time!

Okay but FR wtf is usenet. I’ve never known, and I’m old enough to be able to say that I should

That does sound like a big concern. In that case, feel free to add nervous pacing to your standing routine. I do not recommend standing in the pool currently, maybe wait on that one for a bit!

That’s fair. Probably not helpful at the moment but i got a sit or stand desk awhile back and it’s terrific. Sometimes I don’t use it enough but recently I saw a video that anything you enjoy sitting you can usually enjoy standing. Like my controller is wireless I can stand instead of sit ony couch. I can eat dinner aty kitchen counter instead of sitting every night. I can have a drink with friends while standing, etc. Even without a standing desk that’s probably true for you as well. If you put on movie or a game stand to watch some of it. It feels weird at first but I stand probably 2/3 of my day now. Try it out!

Why, my friend? Stand up! Move about!

As someone that needed their first deck RMA’d that fuckin rules. I was PISSED mine died, still have no clue what happened never had a device catastrophically fail like that, but they were awesome about it. Tech support tried to diagnose and fix and when it was obvious it was toast they just took it back and sent me a new one.

Especially if it comes with the same warranty as a new one.

In retrospect I think I’m an idiot and 52 gigs was what I had available before I made more space by deleting shit.

Ignore me, I’m fairly stupid today.

I didn’t have early access, I bought it straight from steam today. It was 54gb and change 🤷🏻‍♂️

Why is your install twice the size mine was?

Oh thanks for the tip! I didn’t even realize there was a codeberg link in the post.

Is this only for iOS so far? Not seeing it on f-droid or play store.

Question - is there a way to make my Plex library always available without having my desktop running non-stop? My Plex downloads live on an M2 on my desktop currently. Second question - I can only access my Plex files from my local network but most people seem to use it from anywhere. What am I doing wrong, or do you need premium for that feature?

Just because it isn’t a real competitor doesn’t mean that it wasn’t meant to be one. It was developed targeting what Logitech thought would be the biggest use case for deck, which was playing games that could be streamed, and have other hardware do the bulk of the lifting. The problem is that deck can also do that, and does it better. It was probably a fairly low effort cash grab by Logitech, but they still made it and sunk a ton of R&D costs into getting it out near the deck release.

It was probably developed directly in response to the deck being announced, in order to compete in an open market. If it wasn’t directly in response, then they still felt strongly enough that it would compete that they didn’t cut their losses after the deck was announced.

Yeah I dont get the sentiment at all. If it was trash and couldn’t run anything it wouldn’t sell. But it’s not, and it runs damn near everything, even if some higher end games will destroy the battery in 25 minutes, it’ll be a great 25 minutes. You can also stop at any point in any game and just come back later and it resumes seamlessly, almost instantaneously, and with next to no battery loss. I’m not being sarcastic, I’ve never had ANY game system that can do that. The closest is the PS5 with rest mode but it’s still way behind ateamdeck in wake up time. It’s a first gen release and it’s capable of things no other console (maybe switch - I don’t actually know, I don’t have one) handheld or otherwise, has been able to do.

Like love or hate valve all you want, but there’s really not a lot to shit on the steam deck about. It’s had like three competitors come out and two most people already forgot exist (Logitech something, and some other one). The Asus one seems capable but is bottlenecked by using windows. Let’s not forget Google’s attempt at a revolutionary gaming product.

You definitely would have figured this out eventually, but the back buttons are SUPER handy and you can remap any games controls on the fly! I personally hate pushing the thumb sticks down as a button, so I almost always remap those to the back buttons.

Also you can adjust the graphics settings on the fly (three dots button on right) and then move up to the battery menu to see their impact on real time.

What is it? I don’t recognize the UI

And yet they won’t be.

Different strokes!

Does anyone know how to do this from the thunder app? I can’t seem to figure it out. It’s easy enough on jerboa but I can’t see an option on thunder.
