I have NEVER heard of any controller before this current generation needing firmware upgrades.

Even the launch model PS4 controller I use on my PC never asked for an update and still works fine…

I use LibreWolf but tell most people to use Waterfox since it’s just Firefox without Mozilla’s crap.

I like to live life dangerously. It’s only bit me in the ass twice in 3 years.

EndeavourOS btw.

Am I the only weirdo who updates their system when they’re about to log off for the night?

Then again I also only update like once a week…sometimes every 2 weeks if I forget.

Same goes if you’re running Firefox.

I once had Hotmail take forever to get past the loading screen, then actually navigating my mail was hellishly slow. Switched my user agent to Edge and “magically” it loaded instantly and everything was snappy…

Had a few other sites do similar slowdowns but that and Youtube were the most unashamedly blatant.

As if half the games on the Steam store weren’t repacks of mobile shovelware anyway.

From personal experience…

I mainly got used games as a kid so I saw this screen far too much…

Also probably why I ran into a bunch of glitches, my earliest memories of playing racing games involved a lot of driving “off the map” before a new area loaded in. which sometimes it wouldn’t and just crash after a while. >.>

Kate & Micro >:3

It depends entirely on the game and yes some games work with EAC on Steamdeck but not on Linux desktop…for some reason.

Ironsight on Steam (before it shut down) didn’t work on Linux for the longest time, The devs eventually enabled EAC through proton for about a year before making it Steamdeck only during the final months the servers were online.

And even using Steamdeck=1 in the launch commands didn’t fix that game for me. >.>

I do it the other way around, If you can install Linux yourself I can probably help you without ripping both our hair out.

The other side of that ignorance is if you can do simple tasks they also assume you have the skills to be the next big-tech genius.

The amount of times I’ve been asked to make someone a website or app…

Being “good with computers” is always relative, and to most people computers are basically black magic.

Here’s some stuff I’ve seen other people do.

Had a coworker buy a whole new laptop because their Google account had signed out and they couldn’t remember the password. (obviously buying a new laptop didn’t help)

My mother couldn’t figure out how to hang up a MS Teams call so she just closed the lid on her laptop, which she still assumes turns the whole PC off even after explaining to her multiple times it doesn’t…

My former boss call me into work on a day off to “recover” the main software we used since it had disappeared from the computer. It was still there, an update had just changed the desktop icon.

And most recently a buddy installed multiple viruses on their computer after I told them to ‘backup their files’ before doing a clean Windows install. I had forgot to mention that backing up their files just meant coping them to another drive…they immediately started searching up shady “file backup” programs from random sites on the internet.

I posted another update. while the previous fix kinda worked, It couldn’t run the game with mods. (which most PD2 players these days do) and I didn’t really test that before logging off for the night.

Ended up being more an issue on my systems end than the game itself. >.>

Just tried on the same Proton version both with and without the wsock command and still nothing…

Went back to try Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 for PS2 after getting into the series from the new game on Steam.

The driving is a lot more unforgiving than the new game but It started to grow on me the more I played it.

The games doing very well with new players but getting mixed reviews from longtime BF fans.

I installed Windows again on a 2nd SSD just to play the beta and honestly wasn’t impressed… undeniably an improvement over 2042, But what’s the point in settling for better then dogshit when I can still play the peak of the franchise? and play them on Linux!

Yeah I meant P2P my bad.

Soulseek is I2P not Torrenting, but I’ve found it to be the best place to find music by a long shot.

Edit: It’s actually P2P not I2P

Even if you don’t want it to to be…

Currently got my Sonic Adventure playthrough on pause because I can’t for the life of me catch that stupid frog in Big’s fishing mini game!
