And it’s a Samsung appliance so rest assured it’s complete garbage

How do these not apply to the majority of games, these sound so insanely broad. Patents are so stupid.

Between shit like this, Crowdstrike, and Microsoft Recall I wonder why anyone even bothers with Windows anymore

Out of necessity most likely, sometimes you either have no alternatives for proprietary software on Linux, or it’s extremely cumbersome to get and maintain such software on Linux.

Meanwhile I can’t even upload commercials for archival purposes without getting copyright strikes on my account. How is YouTube so bad at this.

Would be nice, I realized recently that a lot of people here will still act that way and downvote your stuff as a disagree/don’t like button

Perfect Darkness is the cheat that turns the lights off, I think the difficulty is called Perfect Dark.

Cult stuff

This was on Windows

Been a while since I played it but I don’t remember it being particularly tied to the original in terms of story

In Windows 11 if you have internet access during the initial setup it won’t even let you make a local account anymore like it did on Windows 10.

I did stumble on that issue, but no I have a 1tb SSD installed with tons of free space on it and it’s performance seems totally fine - I can transfer a game from my PC to the deck at 500+mbps. I’ve just kinda given up and been using my pc to download larger stuff first and transferring it as a workaround for now.

I’ve also been having weird issues with the steam deck downloading for some reason and couldn’t figure it out. I use the dock so it’s using a wired connection (but the same thing happens on WiFi) and I have gigabit Internet, will get maybe 150mbps for a moment, then drops down to max 15mbps or slower but doesn’t outright stop like yours.

If you do a speed test in desktop mode via a browser what speeds do you get? I’m all but positive this is something specific to steams cdns. I also use a pihole but bypassed it for testing and it made no difference. What’s your download region set to in the steam settings? I’m on the east coast and tried a couple different nearby locations with no effect.
