This week in Plasma: Stabilization for 6.2
  • Finally, ~/Templates support!!

  • YONO soft case - carry case compatible? Yes
  • I can't directly answer the question, as I don't use one. But I would like to mention that I put on a pair of joystick caps which are frankly pretty thin layers of silicon all things considered, and now the Deck won't fit inside the case unless I firmly hold it closed and then pull the zipper.

    The case is designed to fit it very snugly, it would seem! But third-party cases usually have more give inside for covers and joystick caps etc.

  • What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?
  • Me too! My original discs for the sequel was unreadable even before I got to play it (it was a hand-me-down).

    I also found this mod on itch as well, after your post. I think I had to edit the configs to get the resolution writing for Nolf2 even on the revival copy (and, save files from different resolutions don't load!) If this patch can work around those issues that'd be great.

    Time for another playthrough of the series, on the Steam Deck!

  • What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?
  • Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to.

    Edit: no that's just NOLF revival. I suppose I shouldn't change it now, and thanks for posting ☺️

  • What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from?
  • No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.

    They're both fantastic games, but the original (in which you go to Hamburg and a space station) felt more adventurous rather than the more grounded sequel (in which you go to the arctics and even more exotic locale: my hometown of Calcutta). Set it in the fictionalized disco-themed cold-war with the lead jet-setting around the world, and we're golden!

    Also, only a single game, but: Arcanum. (At least this one's possible to buy on Gog and Steam...)

    Arcanum supposedly had a sequel in the works at some point: Journey to the Center of Arcanum, and frankly, while I'd prefer to see other continents on that world explored a là Around the World in 80 Days, I'd still be sold on a hollow-earth adventure any day!

    [Finished with the edits now!]

  • Removed
    Blackjack Game Development Company
  • Allow me—blissfully unaffiliated with all the parties involved in my post—highjack this irredeemable piece of spam with an actual "blackjack game" worth playing:

    Dungeon Degenerate: Gamblers is Balatro but blackjack and just as wild a ride!

  • The Pixel 9 phones are big cameras and screens soldered onto Gemini AI ambitions
  • I can only conceptualize "pro" meaning "large" in the "large, and in charge" sense.

  • A dictionary website for programmers
  • Doesn't have an entry for monads 🙃

  • Nova Drift Has Reached Full Release!
  • One hand, the game changed surprisingly little over the years in early access. On the other, it remains incredibly fun since day one in early access 😊

  • TIL that in 1563, Johann Weyer argued against Witch hunts and instead that the accused should be treated as having a mental illness.
  • I'm told ADHD also comes with magic powers. But so far, I've not awakened to my birthright.

    Moonlit skies are never clear enough these nights, you know.

  • JPEG is Dying - And that's a bad thing | 2kliksphilip
  • As an EXR elitist I deeply resent Google's blatant sabotage of JXL.

    (And also laugh at the PNG elitists, as is custom.)

  • What have you been playing lately? (August)
  • Pretty much just Zenless Zone Zero and Hades II for the past month or so.

    And a bit of Terraria with the boys.

  • Zen - a clean and simple text editor in your browser
  • Yeah, as pinned tabbed. Very much so. I actually like them specifically because I can forget about them. I use them like someone would use a napkin in that classic Hollywood trope sense! Just to work something out and then forgetting about it, except, if needed, I can open up the tab again and copy over stuff to my actual notes later!

  • Zen - a clean and simple text editor in your browser
  • I use it almost daily when in bed and thinking of some project or the other—I like to think in text—but don't want to bring up my notetaker and getting even more distracted.

    And I often get friends and family open one up while troubleshooting their problems. What else would I use, Notepad?

    Ultimately, why not? Why do people make little standalone tools like this? For fun, probably. Or because they can. As a learning exercise? And when it has no cost to the developer to maintain, or the user to use. Why would I even try to second-guess their motivation?

  • Google Chrome is no longer 'deprecating third-party cookies'
  • I'm still deprecating Google Chrome tho. I ran out of friends and family's browser instances, so now I've expanded to my neighbors! 🥸

  • After Musk's pro-Trump/Vance bender, X users report issues following Kamala Harris' accounts
  • I don't believe for a second he could name more than five.

  • Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"
  • If capitalism insists on those higher up getting exorbitantly more money than those doing the work, then we have to hold them to the other thing they claim they believe in: that those higher up also deserve all the blame.

    It's a novel concept, I know. Leave the Nobels by the doormat, please.
