Yesterday's lunch break was more time spent on the #SteamDeck. I've got 20 hrs into #eldenring and 90%of that had been on the steam deck. I honestly don't think I would like the game as much if I played it on desktop. The first 2 hours on desktop I definitely felt the old "gamer rage", but on the steam deck I can just physically set it down and walk away, or play little portions in the kitchen while waiting for dinner to cook.
It took significantly more tweaking than I expected, but I got breath of the wild running well on my #SteamDeck
It's the wiiu version, and as difficult as it was, I'm tempted to just try to emulate the switch version. I got xenoblade chronicles definitive edition working great.
I got syncthing setup and synced with my desktop so I could easily transfer new grid images for things like Discord and Firefox, so they wouldn't just be blank tiles. But because I wanted to put that on the sdcard, that required installed flexseal and finding the sdcard path
My day 1 #SteamDeck opinion.
For most "steam deck verified" games, it's a console experience. Turn on, install, play.
As soon as you get outside that, it's gonna get a little fuzzy for some people, but I love that it's an option, because I'm just that target audience.
Thought I'd do a quick side-by-side comparison of the game BLOODSTAINED(@SwordOrWhip@twitter) on the #SteamDeck vs the #NintendoSwitch.
please excuse the excessive rambling, word swaps, and forgetting what year it is. I don't normally do videos.

well step one, get yourself a usb-ethernet adapter. Installing all your games over wifi is just, oof. even over solid 5G.
although the version I most remember is the swedish chef version

One of my favorite discoveries recently is https://www.popcorn-song.com/
Someone has gone through and documented the history of the popcorn song and almost every cover that has been created of it.
I was reminded of it watching the new #MarcRibellet show We've Got Company when they played the "dog bark" version :P
So my anxiety is sitting rather high in worry/anticipation right now. #steamdeck
🤞 please don't be damanged/lost/stolen 🤞
welp, despite my best efforts not to play it, for my birthday my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law bought me #ELDENRING for my birthday, so I guess I'm finally playing it.
Wish me and my #Steam controller luck. I'll try not to break anything.

apparently I'm running a *checks notes* Communism-based OS on my computer.
Or, I guess I should say, 'our' computer, eh comrade.

well this is hilarious.
"How new #Linux users are created"
#nekrogoblikon's song Golden Future off their newest album has the most satisfying use of Steel Drums I've ever heard used in a metal song.(partially because I've never heard steel drums used in a metal song)

yay I got #syncthing running on my phone and desktop, and now my #obsidian notebook is synced over wifi anytime I'm home!
