I assume it’s because they are using performance capture for all the facial animations.

I played the demo and it was pretty fun. I’ll have to check this out.

What do you mean by ‘desyncing’ issues. I use Syncthing very heavily across my servers and workstations and I don’t have any trouble. I run my own Syncthing relay server for NAT traversal.

This exactly. I’d use rsync to sync a directory to a location to then be backed up by kopia, but I wouldn’t use rsync exclusively for backups.

I really like using the PopShell extension on Gnome. I’m hoping it doesn’t die out when Pop moves to their new Cosmic DE. So far I still prefer Gnome.

Thank you. It looks like this is sort of working in that I can get the additional buttons to show up in Steam now but I’m hitting what I think is a bug where the ‘Enable Extended Buttons’ toggle doesn’t stay enabled. After searching a bit it seems like I’m not the only one but maybe that will get worked out soon.

I have an Ultimate 2 and I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that so I can’t remap the back buttons with Steam input.

What’s the trick?

Their controllers are amazing but the naming convention is so bad.

Definitely do not do tapes.

I’d also recommend Backblaze. Their S3 compatible storage is pretty affordable. I backup to a Kopia repo and then replicate to Backblaze nightly.

Tapes require so much more work to keep up to date and mght not even be cheaper over time.

I miss the era around the release of Android 4 where there were all sorts of interesting 10" Android tablets coming out.

Fast storage is one of the cheapest components of modern PCs so I’m always surprised when Flatpak file size is brought up. It’s not something I worry about very much.

I use GarHAge which uses open hardware and software and was pretty easy and cheap too. https://github.com/marthoc/GarHAge

Consider buying used hardware from an office. Lots of places sell used gear for dirt cheap. A used office desktop with a used GPU from the last 3 years or so would be a massive upgrade without spending much.

Steam Deck is still a good deal for what it is though, but I wouldn’t use it as a primary workstation.

No amount of preparation or warning can prepare you for the sight that is JD Vance’s massive hate-filled titties.

On a handheld? Probably depends how much you use it outside game mode and what you do with it.

On a desktop? No. It’s not intended to be a fully functional desktop OS.

If you’re playing BotW I’d recommend emulating the Wii U version using Cemu. Performance is way better overall but you’ll still need to enable a 60fps mod.

These days 8BitDo controllers are superior to first party Xbox controllers and sold for cheaper.

The updated fluid mechanics are a lot more forgiving and basically have infinite throughput. It’s still a whole new layer of complexity but doesn’t have nearly as many confusing limitations as it used to.

Bravely running away is the quintessential FromSoft experience. The ultimate flex on enemies is to not even bother attacking them and just rolling to dodge occasionally while you grab items and run past them to the next checkpoint.

This is my exact concern.

If I pay for the lifetime pass now, what’s to stop them from restricting even more features behind new types of subscriptions and paywalls. “We’re adding back the ‘Watch Together’ feature but it requires a Platinum Plex subscription and will not be a part of Plex Lifetime Pass users.”

Seems kind of inevitable honestly.
