Many original/new LLMs (gen AI) can’t correctly answer the question due to the way they break up words into tokens. One of the many flaws in current LLMs that stop them being as magical as tech bros want to market

Educated guess: your brain isn’t wired to be useless in an conversation

Is it to early to drop in and call everyone Nazis or nah?

Inscyption, dredge, ufo50, hades

We played in beta, pre-blueprints and will loop back around for another play now it’s 1.0 That said, it didn’t grab us as much as factorio did

Factorio - 1200hrs

TF2 - ??? But lots

Counterstrike source - ??? As above

Satisfactory - 150

Rimworld/hell divers 2 /wargame red dragon / both new xcoms - 100-150hrs

I would have high scores on other titles before steam started tracking playtime / pre-steam

But… just one more turn

Been great for me but I have had to clear config a few times to get settings to stick. Been mainly playing switch/with though, haven’t tried GBA. I have done writeups years ago on manually setting up emulators/steam rom manager, so I think they’ve done a great job automating a lot of it away… But at the end of the day it’s still a fiddly proposition

I also only got my first deck last month a d went through a similar though.

I’d suggest:

• Play with it a bit stock. It’s a great experience and you really don’t NEED more.
• If you have any interest in playing older consoles, Emudeck is an amazing experience and worth it for the ‘oh wow’ factor
• Add Plex / streaming though flathub/discover and add to steam for travel streaming
• Consider decky for a few QOL menu additions
• For pick up and put down games review threads on indies for games you’ll love. Balatro, Hades, Dave the diver, dredge, undertale, into the breech, FTL, the list is quite long and there are utter gems, but it will be dictated by what you enjoy

Very much free space 2 here. 99 was a fine year for games.

Deus ex and system shock 2 should definitely be on a retro shooter/rpg list. Shock 1, you’d probably be better off playing night dives shock remake from last year… or perhaps a modified remaster of the OG. The controls from shock1 are outright painful

So in ~1,000hrs?

Been using traditional methods to get my isos and store them locally, and on arrs/Plex for well over a decade.

Honestly the debris stuff never ever interested me, unless the data is in your control locally the rug pull is always on the horizon.

I do wish we could make it easier for non-technical folk, not everyone is wrong in the head like I am to be happy enough building and maintaining a NAS and the software stack required.

Yeah feeling this, I’m a little tired of one country projecting it issues on the entire world.

That sentence can be interpreted in a number of ways and all are correct sadly.

Yeah, yeah it really is

Ah yes, the game that made me get a Steam account, so looks like my steam account is days from it’s 20th anniversary.

God damn did I hate Valve for making me get steam back then, I was on dialup and getting Steam to launch was a utter nightmare, and I HAD to have it to play HL2? F you gaben!

Fast forward 20 years and I’m eagerly awaiting the AU launch of the steam deck and reminiscing of how good steam has been for me… EDIT: ACCT created 19th Nov 2004, Steam Deck AU release 29th Nov 2024, so I’m ordering on my accounts 20 year anni

They works with almost every single reputable private tracker. I can only my think of one niche one that doesn’t support prowlarr.

It’s brutal isn’t it? Our markups were ‘only’ 30-50%, but I hate supporting that garbage practice. Hope you get a release or pick it up in EU travels, I did have a mate get his on a trip home to Italy.

Thrilled to hear. Have you gotten any accessories for it?

I’ve been debating grabbing a decent battery pack as I have no functional ones, and a dock so I can steam link stream from the gaming PC to my TV.

Can’t say im feeling the 3rd party cases, I think I’ll stick with the Included.

Really enjoyed it, only recently finished a run with expansion and some QOL mods. Excellent visuals (with RTX), and if your into the theme the story was fun and pretty good. Not perfect by any stretch but solid. Gameplay mechanics is fairly engaging after the 2.0 patch.

It is definitely sad it took so long to get to here though, it was broken on launch beyond bugs - the builds you could do pre 1.5 were plain broken.

That said, we should celebrate anyone making single player games these days seriously, it feels like they are getting very thin on the ground.
