Will anything dethrone the Steam Deck? Probably not -GamingonLinux
  • A full install of Windows runs games fine. It doesn't last long though. Bazzite was not working well when I tried it a few weeks ago. There are a few things that don't work properly including no control over RGB settings.

    I put the stripped down IoT version of Windows on mine. It doesn't have anything preinstalled. No store, no teams, no xbox, no nothing out of the box. Combine that with a basic telemetry disabling script and you can have better performance. The Armory Crate app handles all of the firmware and drivers. I'm able to stretch the battery almost an hour longer.

    Windows actually can run kind of alright when you get rid of all of the bullshit. It's not going to be as efficient as Linux, and it's sure as hell not going to be as efficient as a Linux built around a specific set of hardware. It remains to be seen what kind of optimizations MS may introduce when they build a handheld.

  • Speaking of controllers: What's your favorite WEIRD controller?
  • I remember it being one of my favored chosen out of the plethora of random third party devices I had laying around. This was a step above Mad Catz for sure, but definitely still below the original controllers.

  • Speaking of controllers: What's your favorite WEIRD controller?
  • This is a Nyko Air Flow controller. I had one for the original Xbox. It was supposed to keep you from sweating during long sessions of gameplay, because it was ventilated and had a fan on the back. To be honest, I don't remember it being excellent at keeping you cool. I think the fan was pretty lousy, but it was a great gimmick none the less.

    I had a lot of weird controllers back then. Some good, some bad. Most of them Mad Catz.

  • [Hageman brothers interview] Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2’s Janeway Could’ve Captained the Enterprise (But Kate Mulgrew Said No) - IGN
  • I wonder which Enterprise they would have used. I don't think any of them are appropriate for Janeway.

    That being said, it's fun to speculate! Was the E blown up at that point? Was it too early for the Odyssey class?

    It's nice to see Janeway in a new whip. The Voyager-A kind of looks like a Sovereign with an Intrepid deflector. Can't say that I mind the look though, I love arrowhead ships!

  • Mark Meer Wants More People To Play As FemShep In Mass Effect
  • I like how part of Meer's logic is that he's basically inescapable in the franchise otherwise, since he voices so many NPCs as well as BroShep. He boils it down to listening to him some of the time or all of the time.

  • I just hope he can have a good night's sleep, is all.

  • Eminem serving food to customers at his Mom's Spaghetti restaurant, 2021 in Detroit, Michigan
  • He looks like he did before he was famous; just totally fucking burned out.

  • History repeats itself.
  • My Cousin Vinny is one of my favorite movies, I am sad I did not get the reference immediately :(

  • History repeats itself.
  • Utes (yoots). Short for utility vehicle, which is mostly anything with a bed.

  • History repeats itself.
  • They actually have modern El Caminos in Australia. They're called Utes!

    Unfortunately Holden (Chevy) has stopped making them in favor of the Colorado, which is basically just a pickup.

  • Ford government didn’t need to close science centre, firm that designed it says
  • I'd volunteer for this department any day of the week.

  • Speak for yourself
  • I want to live the dream. I want it to be true.

    Please let me be well rested.

  • Ford government didn’t need to close science centre, firm that designed it says
  • So fix the fucking roof guys, it's literally a national treasure.

  • After St. Paul's, is there anything Trudeau can say or do to save his leadership?
  • "We are immediately implementing electoral reform like we promised initially"

  • Conservatives win longtime Liberal stronghold Toronto-St. Paul's in shock byelection result
  • Ironically the plan is kinda to know nothing so he can say anything to rile up is base.

  • Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.
  • Number one reason right here.

    I have gotten Your Phone to work maybe a half a dozen times. KDE Connect just works, full stop.

  • New Cult just dropped...
  • Fucking knocking it out of the park with the Rare Gowrons.

    I love this.

  • Ottawa keeps spending on influencers. Liberals say it’s about stemming disinformation
  • Given the fact that it's almost a foregone conclusion that PP is going to win the next election, I think countering disinformation through "influencers" did not work.

  • Palworld boss says a Switch version ‘might be hard for technical reasons’
  • It definitely is not an optimized game. It doesn't run really well on my ROG Ally, so I can't imagine trying to do it on a Switch.

    Can we defederate from kbin until they fix their spam issues?

    A lot of my front page is full of kbin magazines that are inundated with spam. As we are all acutely aware, moderation actions on kbin are not replicated across the fediverse, causing lingering spam needing to be cleaned up by other instance moderators and admins.

    I would just eliminate interactivity until kbin pushes an update that fixes the federation moderation issue, because 80% of the kbin content I see these days is just spam.
