When I found out how scummy they were with user data I moved to KISS launcher. It took a few days to get used to but I’m very happy with it now.

For the sake of the rest of the democratic world, please do.

Squad is an awesome game, and I’ve played hundreds of hours on Proton. However, unless performance has drastically improved since last December, I would not recommend trying to play it on Steam Deck. I got about 20fps, with regular and significant drops. It is a seriously good game though for those who like a good tactical multiplayer shooter. OWI also makes a Starship Troopers game and Squad 44 (sort of a WW2 version of Squad but different, does not run on Proton due to EAC) so I hope they get the same treatment.

I’m doing my part!

I think you might be right though, it seems unlikely the current plan is going to attract more than a handful of applicants.

Unfortunately I think we will see more and more of this type of reporting so long as the BJP is in power.

My Deck is for playing single player games when I can’t use my desktop, such as when I’m on the train heading to work. I’ve finished more games since I’ve had the Deck than the few years before that. Love that thing.

I was going to post this and then I saw your comment. The Handmaiden trailer gives nothing at all away yet somehow commands you to watch the film. A masterpiece in film trailers, also an excellent movie.

It does look odd. I remember reading an Australian soldier’s account of one of the early battles. They described trading fire until they were ordered to fix bayonets. They started charging and he said the North Korean soldiers all threw down their weapons and ran away. From that point on the Australians relied heavily on bayonets as they knew the North Koreans were not too fond of them.

That’s neat. This Owen was on display at the Korean War Museum in Seoul, bayonet attached.

What a terrifying job that must have been.

Haunting. Unfortunately I think this is one mystery we will never solve. Mountain climbing tragedies like this are fascinating - the Dyatlov Pass Incident is a particularly good one.

I’m a little ignorant here so happy to be educated, but are the higher tax paying areas also the ones with the biggest religious minorities? Does the federal or state authority set the tax rate? I find the history/culture/ethnic make-up of India fascinating, very keen to visit one day.

Not sure why the down votes, but I did get a giggle from your comment just so you know.

I’m holidaying and it was my first time using my Steam Deck docked when I encountered this issue. I spent hours tweaking settings and googling trying to find out how others were able to play on Deck. To be honest I was actually relieved to find out it was an EAC issue.

True, Saints and Sinners slaps.

This is the way.

I love this thing. I’m finishing games that I probably never would have gotten around to playing previously. I’m consistently impressed with how well games run, and how many of them run. I run Linux on my desktop as well and there is pretty much nothing I play that can’t be played on Linux/Steam Deck. I’m going overseas for 6 weeks in the near future, which would ordinarily mean I’m restricted to playing games on my phone. With Steam Deck and a dongle, I can continue to play all of the games I would play on my desktop. The Steam Deck and Proton have been revolutionary.

It definitely works, I played a few games without issue. However, I don’t know if it’s an HLL thing or what but I’m getting about half the frames I expect to get. I don’t really play it much anymore but even when I used to play it on Windows I didn’t find it particularly well optimised.

The desktop panel layout is very similar. The biggest give away is the Steam Deck icon where the Windows Start menu usually sits. Then beside that are Terminal and other Linux specific software.

And on a Steam Deck too! Nicely done.
